Bill Clinton as president being comforted by Reverend Wright
In the aftermath of the Pennsylvania Democratic primary — a race in which Senator Hillary Clinton had a 20-point lead only a few months ago — the racism and hypocrisy of the Clinton campaign was laid bare for all a nation to scorn.
Desperate and willing to do anything to win, the Clintons resorted to a naked form of racism aimed directly at white working-class voters in the rural portions of the state. Their message: Barack Obama cannot win because he’s black.
In the early stages of the campaign, it was Clinton’s cadre who kept playing the race card. In New Hampshire, Clinton’s co-chair, Billy Shaheen, accused Obama of being a drug dealer; then there was the photograph of Sen. Barack Obama in Somalian garb leaked to the press by Clinton’s staff.
In the aftermath of the South Carolina primary, former President Bill Clinton compared Obama’s victory to those of Jesse Jackson in 1984 and 1988. His message was clear: Obama was a marginal, black candidate.
Then came the disgraceful remarks of Geraldine Ferraro, who could not, and would not, shut her mouth. “If Obama was a white man,” she charged, “he would not be in this position." And she was adamant and unapologetic amid the resulting outcry. "Every time that campaign is upset about something, they call it racist,” she proclaimed. “I will not be discriminated against because I'm white."
Say what?
The Clintons refused to publicly call for Ferraro’s resignation. Ferraro remained unrepentant when she finally did resign. “The Obama campaign is attacking me to hurt you,” she bitterly wrote Hillary. And she never apologized for her remarks.

Excerpt
To anyone who has followed the Clinton campaign closely, it is all too apparent that her top political strategists — reeling from losses from coast to coast and badly miscalculating the grassroots power of the Obama movement — made a tactical decision to go negative, as that would be the only way for Clinton to stop Obama and somehow allow her to steal the nomination.
And go negative they did — with a subtle yet consistent racism underscoring every turn. The now notorious red-phone-at-3:00-a.m. television ad used by Clinton during the Texas primary, as Harvard sociologist Orlando Patterson noted in the New York Times, was reminiscent of D. W. Griffith’s racist film Birth of a Nation, which helped revive the Ku Klux Klan.
Excerpt
Clinton is an inveterate liar — I am sorry, there is truly no other word for it — and as her ill-fated presidential campaign tumbles toward its inevitable demise, the personal deception that is at the core of her personality, and of her career, continues to reveal itself.

That's not 'racism". That's just showing doubt that Obama is upfront and honest when he says he's a Christian, and never was Muslim (which really has nothing to do with "race" it's religion) But then, any attack on Obama's character and honesty is "racist", just as whites NOT voting for Obama is "racist" although blacks not voting for Hillary isn't racist.
She isn’t racist any more than the entire black community on the whole. The black community is, right or wrong, excessively ethnocentric and longing to dislodge whites from any and all positions of authority so they can engage in a freeform machete fight like the do in the homeland(s).
I think the Clintons are genuninely open minded with regard to race, but they are not going to just bend over and take it from every black person looking to compete with them.
Is that what racism now is? If a white so much as disagrees with or competes with a black person for a position, she’s a racist?
The Clintons made good use of black self-importance to get votes.
They used it to dislodge other whites who weren’t as good at playing the game of ass-kissing.
Now they themselves will be dislodged by the black vote in favor of an actual black person. They’re just stupid for thinking that their previous catering to blacks would stand in the face of an actual black candidate (unless Bill somehow went Soul Man).
Blacks are first and foremost, by their own choice, their skin color. It’s their main sense of identity. Whites have had any such identity beaten out of them over the last 40 years. Thus, catering to other people’s racism (and attacking whites on behalf of minorities) is the only avenue whites have, and the Clintons wrote the book on how to do this.
That's unprecedented especially taking in consideration that it was from a group that only a scant few months ago had been one of her core constituencies.
While both Hitlery and Osamabama are utter losers, Hitlery has as advantage that might push her over the top in November, namely, control or near-control of the Xlintoon corruption machine. Osamabama doesn't have a hope of getting control of it nationwide, other than fractionally in areas where his supporters reign.
Osamabama is the single most beatable candidate in American history who has ever come so close to being his party's (cough, choke) nominee. He literally cannot win a national election, even with considerable amounts of fraud.
If Limbaugh were the political analyst he considers himself to be, he would have realised this fact long since, and directed Operation Chaos to support Osamabama.
Was it the ol' toe-sucker, fat Dickie Morris, who said recently that Osamabama would lose 47 states? For once, Morris has a clue. An Osamabama nomination would make Du-du-ka-ka in 1988 look like a powerhouse candidate.
Ferraro remained unrepentant when she finally did resign. “The Obama campaign is attacking me to hurt you,” she bitterly wrote Hillaryas she sat in church, clinging to her guns.

>and never was Muslim<
did Obama really say that?
Better Hillary close to the POTUS than Oh empty suit Ama.
We dont listen to Rush or anyone else.
We will vote Hillary Clinton in our Primary.
Any THING to keep that damn empty suit away from the POTUS run.
I have to say after being a mole in the OBAMA rallies and Clinton Rallies ....albeit small gatherings the Clintons have a great team and Obama’s folks were just like minds stuck on extasy mantras...
Our family will work to get Hillary the D ticket..
We want Obama DOA.
Perhaps, but the only reason that Obama is now so beatable is the Wright and Bittergate episodes, which would’ve never happened had Rush not launched “Operation Chaos” to keep Hillary in the game.
Limbaugh has it entirely wrong with ''Operation Chaos''. The goal is to force the 'Rats to select the most beatable candidate.No, you have it entirely wrong.
Which was Hillary, now it's Obama, then it'll be Hillary, then..
There's no way to know what will happen in elections this far out. You don't know who will be more beatable in November. Hell, expert pols don't know. And no one knows what events will happen and what will matter to the electorate then, etc., etc..
What is known is the more your opponents fight each other, the weaker they become.
THIS is the strategy of Operation Chaos.
Especially when they may be going berserk over someone who’s not even technically “black”:

On the other hand, the abundant list of negatives contained in the article IMO gives a good preview of why Hillary can’t win....there’s too much baggage and she keeps adding more (Bosnia snipers). Seems to me that Hillary is just too disliked nationally to be a threat.
Obama, whose baggage has not reached fruition yet, is the best con man since Bill Clinton, but his giddy fans can’t, or haven’t, seen that “dark side” (PI) yet. I wonder if he’d be ahead if the “Wright stuff” (PI again!)had come out before the primaries had gotten underway?
Gotta wonder what will be the reaction when the Clintons undermine Obama’s general election campaign, which they are surely going to do.
The commie-licking “citizens of the world” running both parties have some problems with realities leading to our near future. I will be most sure to avoid voting for any presidential candidate, if you manage to get your man-hating, family-hating, free-traitor shrew nominated to scare Americans. Show us a candidate who will work more for the USA (and for allies like Israel) than the evil foreign nation$ deare$t to their most influential and anti-American constituents, and I might see a reason to participate in and respect your politics.
I’ve never in my life seen such a filthy campaign devised to fool an American public perceived by its elite as a class of retards. You (all who are politically inclined) should have helped to nominate Duncan Hunter.
A black news source viciously attacking the Clintons???? Go Operation Chaos!!!
Shelby’s theory is wrong. The collapse of white moral authority is not the problem. The replacement of male authority with feminism is. To Steele’s credit — he was gazing in the general right direction – but missed the real target. In America, there is one place where white supremacy and radical feminism existed: The Ku Klux Klan.
The crucial relationship Shelby missed is this: post-modern feminism (which has clearly admitted to being a supremacist movement) is the living granddaughter of the Women’s Ku Klux Klan (WKKK), where second-wave feminism (as we know it today) was gestated and borne.
[...]
After the 19th amendment was passed, WKKK feminists no longer needed the Klan for political power, and turned their sights towards the use of sexual imagery to control white men too. In the 1920’s a congressional investigation found that a woman by the name of Elizabeth Tyler was running the KKK. She assumed control by making allegations of sexual improprieties against the Grand Dragon.
Hillary's loss of the nomination would be an advantage for McCain; her voters, should she not win the nomination, are more than likely to vote for McCain, whereas Obama's supporters are more likely to not vote at all. Polls show that Dem voters see little difference between the policies of the HC and McCain, and in reality, there isn't.
Rush's intent was never to get Hillary elected; the purpose is to weaken both candidates and the Democratic Party. Early on in the campaign, so much negative attention was focused on Hillary that Obama got a pass, and as a result he garnered all those delegates. Now he's being exposed as even further left, incompetent and unlikeable than HC, due not only to the efforts of Rush, but to the constant drumbeat of right talk radio and the internet. The dirt on Obama has been out there for a while, and now it's getting the attention it deserves, and it's a serious dilemma for the Dems.
You need to put down the extreme paranoia pipe when it comes to Hillary; yeah, the Clintons are power-hungry, immoral and will do anything to win, but after eight years the blinkered hatred is really getting old. She's actually garnered a grudging respect from some quarters for standing up against a fraud and a racist, while McCain comes out swinging -- against his own party. If McCain thinks he can beat Obama by virtue of holier-than-thou-ness and sanctimonious platitudes, he's in for rude surprise. Obama's people are just as ruthless as Clinton's. It took Hillary over a year to figure out how to best the media-darling Messiah, and McCain's far less adaptable than the Clinton machine.
Operation Chaos is all about changing the way both the Republican & Democrats Primaries are held.
In Texas, we were disenfranchised and did not participate in unofficial nomination of John MeCain.
That was done by MeCain Republicans in the NE and Democrats crossing over in most all the primary states to deny Conservatives anything other than its party's biggest RINO for our candidate.
A Rush is making that point every day with Operation Chaos.
You can bet your last dollar major changes are in store for this process in 4 yrs.
This is special. Chaos reigns! All beast backers are closet racists! So much for the great unifier.
Amazing from 92 t0 2000 the Clinton’s were the nations first Black First family
Now it has come to this
My dreams of a color blind America have been destroyed
How sad
Well McCains camp must think Hillary will pull it out -—That is why he is pandering for the black vote -—He hopes the poed black voters will go his way
Either that or he is just trying to suck up to the MSM
The black community is, right or wrong, excessively ethnocentric....
Even to the extent of claiming as its members those with a mere 12% negroid blood.
The bare truth is that Barrack is no more black than he is white. He is neither and he is both. Note especially that he was raised in a white community by his natural white family.
Pointing to physical characteristics is lame and brutish. He has as many caucasian features as negroid.
If Obama were not a racist trying to portray himself as something he is not he probably could win the presidency by actually being what he claims to be, a healer and uniter.
Whites have had any such identity beaten out of them over the last 40 years. Thus, catering to other people’s racism (and attacking whites on behalf of minorities) is the only avenue whites have, and the Clintons wrote the book on how to do this.
Succinctly put.
The dems have always been like little kids. Their primary will come down to “Well, we’ll just nominate no one”, or they’ll end up with a new candidate who won’t mind getting trounced in November.
Clinton, Obama, and the dem party have too much to lose to allow one to lose to the other.
Again I say there will be no convention in Denver.
I began to read the works of critical thinkers on the issue of education-Ivan Illich's Deschooling Society and Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed and Education For Critical Consciousness.
What he writes in this thread article:
In so doing, Clinton was echoing the views of rightwing conservative and white supremacist Sean Hannity. Talk about shameful.
The above of Geoffrey's concerning Sean Hannity is directly the result of Geoffrey's Ingestion of Freire's works.
Geoffrey thinks Harry Belafonte is tres kewl.
“If Obama were a white man, he wouldn’t be in this position”
Geraldine Ferraro spoke the only true words to come out of the Clinton campaign so far.
black or white ~ lib/dems are all racist!!!
Second, absolutely nothing, as yet, has been made of his four separate votes in favour of infanticide. That's infanticide -- the willful killing of live-born children -- not anything to do with abortion.

Agree 100%. Inasmuch as I strongly disagree with Obama and his policies, I don't hate him. Impeaching Clinton was a major victory for Republicans and to see a large portion of us willing to escort him back to the White House makes no sense to me. I think McCain can win this thing against Obama with independents. If Hillary gets the nomination, her and her sleezy rehashed team made up of Bill's former advisors will chew McCain up and spit him out. Her and Bill in the White House with a Rat controlled house and senate is our worst nightmare.
You nailed it. He has supporters like Sam Nunn and Lee Hamilton and he is running his campaign based on bringing Washington together. He will be under pressure to make good where Hillary is...... well, Hillary
Yeah, We're beginning to detect a pattern.
“The hypocrisy is staggering.”
This line is the key one and amazing in its unintentional irony in light of the fact that hypocrisy is the common denominator of both campaigns and of the entire Democrat party.
All this is best exemplified by the “Reverend” Wright who is paler than many people who call themselves white but grows rich and fat by denouncing white people for all sorts of imaginary injustice. He must be denouncing at least seven out of eight of his own ancestors by the look of him.
I think you are right. Those who see Hitlery as the “easily beaten” Democrat are fantasizing that this will be an honest election. Some of us are aware that the name Clinton is synonymous with vote buying and corruption of all kinds.
In this black and white picture, if you did not know who the two men were, would you consider one black and one white or would you see two white men?
Blacks wont care over such technicalities. His dad was from Africa and had dark skin. That makes him black
