Is there anyone who doubts that before he was a pot smoking draft dodger the Bent One was a garden variety white trash racist?

“I say Clinton is our second redneck president because first came Jimmy Carter.”

Don’t forget LBJ. That makes KKKlinton the 3rd RNP. I don’t think KKKlinton’s treatment of Obama disqualifies him as the first black President. Was it McWorter that made the analogy about some blacks being like crabs in a bushell? As one trys to climb out the others pull it back down. Bubba is just a crab pulling down a brother.

Bill Clinton's brother, Roger Clinton, was videotaped during a police drug sting, using the N-word frequently, even though the conversation had to do with drugs. (He also claimed that then-Governor Clinton had a nose like a vacuum cleaner.)

Of course, redneck and cracker are themselves pejoratives used against the poor whites of the South, who were heavily of Scots-Irish ancestry. Clinton, Lyndon Johnson, and Carter are mostly of Scots-Irish ancestry. My favorite Scots-Irish President was Andrew Jackson, a strong leader who also favored limiting governmental power. Woodrow Wilson was Scots-Irish as well, but was this country's first President to espouse modern liberalism.

“Red-neck” is an attitude and philosophy of life. Neither Clinton nor Carter were red-necks. Love of country is at the core of being one, and neither C1 or C2 qualifies.

[rednekelmo]

clinton is not a redneck no self respecting redneck would spend his life suckling on the government teat. X42 is a white trash womanizing dirtbag plain and simple.

[Enterprise]

Bull Clinton apologized for slavery. He forgot to apologize for all the Democrats who were members of the Ku Klux Klan. It just sort of slipped his mind.

[Enterprise]

Clinton? Crabs? Who knew!

[SMARTY]

It really jars my a%$ to see so many ‘journalists’ FINALLY - PUBLICLY on record against the most disgracefully malevolent aspect of the Clinton’s (especially Billy Boy’s) behavior.. a behavior which has marred the American political scene for so long and which is truely unique to the Clintons ! No politician of stature in the world would or could get the level and frequency of indulgence on this issue that Billy Boy and Evita have got with their particular kind of ‘race politics’ (or call it what you want).

Why NOW, AT LAST, GRUDGINGLY AND ONLY INCONSISTENTLY does the MSM acknowledge something which has been so glaringly apparent even from the beginning of the Clintons’ careers? WHY don’t ‘journalists’ in this country speak with ONE VOICE and deliver the long overdue death blow to this kind of behavior? Why not NOW take the opportunity to put an end to what has been the single greatest stumbling block to the credibility of Black leaders all over the country????? Why don’t the Clintons and others like them just put this baggage down and walk away from it?

I think that the sooner we get RACE out of American politics the better off we will ALL be. I think that getting RACE out of American Politics will go even further to improving the political system in this country than getting the MONEY out of the process…(also an enormous drag on the proper functioning of the system)

Toni Morrison’s remark was not only ridiculous; it was insulting.

And here is RED STATE UPDATE’S take on this issue:

At least blacks, hispanics and all other people of color are altuistic and NEVER think, act or talk about race. I wish I was black.

We are the world. We are the children.

[BARLF]

I do not credit him with many virtues, but the one virtue I thought he had was racial tolerance. Nowhere on his record is there any evidence that he ever sought to benefit from bigotry against blacks. That is no longer the case.

Never before has a person of color been an obstacle to the Clinton's pursuit of happiness. Obama is simply the first black to oppose the Clinton's.

The Clinton's had never been tested on racism before Obama.

[Nat Turner]

the Crabs in a barrel analogy predate McWorter by a country mile but I see what you are trying to get at.

And for the record this Black man is very incensed and insulted that some one would refer to X42 as the first black president.

[Clemenza]

Woodrow Wilson was also our most racist (even considering the context of the times he lived in) President. Check out his letters to Colonel Mandel House sometimes, and his ruminations on the deficiencies of Mexicans, Asians, blacks, etc.

I always loved Andrew Jackson, if only for his threatening to hang John Calhoun for advocating secession.

It has been said that the celtic peoples (the Scots, the Irish, the Scots Irish) are more "racist" than others due to their behavior towards minorities and immigrants in the US, Australia, or as soldiers/police in the British Empire. I don't believe this to be true, as such were the intellectual/social currents of the time throughout the world.

We will very likely have a Scots Irish American as our Presidential nominee, btw. Like so many Scots Irish, he has a distinguished service record.

[Clemenza]

Was explained to me at a young age a long time ago that the hierarchy among the common white folk in the south was as such:

1. Good old boy.

2. Redneck.

3. White Trash.

It seems as though said terms have gotten confused over the years, unfortunately.

I think we can all agree, however, that BillyJeff is basically the trailer trash son of a Barfly made good.

[Hacklehead]

“And for the record this Black man is very incensed and insulted that some one would refer to X42 as the first black president.”

Are you saying that my comment offended you? I didn’t start the first black president nonsense, I just poke fun at it when the opportunity arises.

[infowarrior]

Is there anyone who doubts that before he was a pot smoking draft dodger the Bent One was a garden variety white trash racist?

Inasmuch as he...
1. Claims the unrepentant racist Orval Faubus to have been a mentor of his...

And...
2. Billed himself as a "Rhodes scholar" (the Cecil Rhodes scholarship program was expressly set up for purposes that are inherently racist)...

One can only conclude that William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, is, has always been, and will likley always be, a racist at heart...

It must be tough to try and be a “respectable” conservative and have to live to finish the sentences of lefty shriekers. So, what else does Emmit expect from identity politics? Perhaps he should start by asking that question and not pining away that he wished he marched with George Romney or whoever.
