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.
“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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
“Redneck”? “Redneck” is soooo ‘70s. We’ve come a long way and would prefer the term... “Agro-Americans”, thank you.
