Be fair
And yet I voted for Al Gore and John Kerry. I guess I'm immune to Republican bullshit attacks when they're not levelled at the Clintons, go figure.
No, when they're not leveled at the Clintons when a Clinton is running in a long, hotly contested race against a candidate you like better.
I suspect you would be justifiably outraged if this was a general election, there was no candidate Obama, and this attack was leveled against Clinton by a Republican.
Clinton isn't a racist. Clinton isn't a brilliant, evil genius who knows just where to place words and never leaves anything to chance. Clinton isn't "OK maybe not a racist but isn't above using dog whistles when they're useful."
The Clintons have a solid record on race that is deep enough and long enough that it would take a considerable degree of bad faith to assert any of the above.
This is just a nasty smear and the fact that it's leveled against people who we all know aren't racist or race-baiters just makes it nastier. Channeling George Wallace? Good God.
Be fair.
