And, now there's some serious backpeddling going on...
Wonder if the Blacks will buy the backpeddling? We already know that women bought the bawling publicly for political gain.
Obama followed the unwritten rules: he spent years in Chicago as a "community organizer" and represented various "community activists" from Chicago's South Side as an attorney.
In theory, that kind of stuff is supposed to give him all sorts of bona fides for "keeping it real" and "giving back to the community" and living the ethic of "power to the people."
Yet one of the flagship advocates of such an ethic, the founder of BET, whose station hammers home the ideal of "realness" daily - has jettisoned him.
Bill Clinton went to Yale Law, worked for the McGovern campaign, then worked as a law professor and then was Arkansas AG and subsequently governor.
Hillary Clinton went to Yale Law, worked for the McGovern campaign, then worked as a law professor before joining a white shoe law firm.
For Johnson to say that the Clintons have been "deeply and emotionally involved in black issues" since before Barack Obama was a college undergrad is patently ridiculous on its face.
And to add in that Obama experimented with drugs as an undergrad is highly hypocritical: are we to believe that the Clintons and Johnson himself, all of whom were undergraduates in the late 1960s, didn't experiment with drugs?
An old Arkansas friend,who was “fond of the bourbon”, mentioned to me that back in 1980, Clinton told him that if you sniff a little, you can drink all night long.
It was inevitable.
One of the darkies is finally challenging “massa” for command of the plantation and “massa” is not amused.
As another FReeper put it: after fifteen years of running the democrat party into the gutter, the Clintons are now going to finish it off.
Not that I’m complaining, goodness knows...
