Talking points.
Obama did distribute talking points designed on the topic of race.
If he runs on race across America it will not win.
Clinton simply highlighted that fact.
It's racist to mention you can't win an election Nationally simply running on race. But a black candidate can run on race in a state with much black voters, someone pointing that fact out who isn't black is of course an asshole, and perhaps necessarily a racist, or not necessarily one but close enough to being one that other may think you arrive at that conclusion for mentioning it.
This is convincing evidence that Bill Clinton is racist.

BLOGS GO MAINSTREAM
Today is the day that the blogs went mainstream. Glen Greenwald and Josh Marshall have both bought into the mainstream spin on Clinton.2 and Obama: B. Clinton says Obama and Jessie Jackson both won South Carolina; ergo, B. Clinton is racist. This is the kind of thinking Greenwald used to destroy, his most famous victim being Joe Klein. Klein must be smiling. What next? Greenwald gets hired by Time? Marshall goes to The Washington Times?

Obama stupidly started the race fights
he's the one who trivialized HRC's truthful relays of her fights for civil rights which then caused a BLACK supporter of HRC's to point out tha tshe was fighting for civil rights when he was having fun in Chicago doing whatever he was doing. (it was Obama who insists it mean when he was doing drugs - another foolish move that won't help him).
It was Obama that insisted a perfectly truthful observation that MLK's inspiration was well-aided by LBJ's legistlation (among other white liberals and white and black churches) got civil rights moving.
Nothing racist about it. Obama wanted to think Rove was his friend and insisted on taking the bait and calling the Clinton's racist, and now he'sthe one who painted himself as a black-only demagogue, not HRC.

eye roll
It's deliberate. The GOP is waiting and snickering and practically PITP with glee.
...
This is better for the GOP than a tax-payer funded candy-store for billionaires, better than an entire nation of airport restrooms and high-school paiges. Man, they are just on top of the world about now.
Ah yes, I'm sure they're all stroking their cats nefariously, or perhaps twisting their moustaches and adjusting their monacles with sinister sneers.
Because everything's coming up roses for them right now - not as if their two front-runners are having a petty and vindictive ongoing argument about the "surge" in Iraq; not as if their voter turnout is abysmal compared to Democrats, even in a heavily Republican state like South Carolina; not as if the polls show that Americans overwhelmingly crave a new direction, which is a reliable predictor of the presidency changing parties; not as if the public thinks Democrats can better lead the nation on nearly every single issue of the day; not as if both Clinton and Obama beat every other Republican candidate for president in most head-to-head polls; not as if each Republican candidate has a barely freshman College Republican-level skill in debating issues...
That's right, everything is playing right into the all-powerful GOP's plans, perfectly orchestrated by the all-seeing, all-knowing Flaming Eye of Karl Rove.
Hide. Just go and hide under a rock.

Oh, and don't forget Oprah
Don't forget him putting heavy-again Oprah out there all over Iowa with her ample breasts hanging out of her shirts trying to chip away at HRC"s black and woman supporters implicitly bringing race into it.

Stop Bashing Jesse Jackson
Bill Clinton is not a racist for answering a reporter's question about Jesse Jackson. In fact, Obama could never be Jesse because Jesse took a stand on the issues. He built a Rainbow Coalition that brought together whites, Latinos and blacks and Asians. Furthermore, Jackson won ELEVEN states in 1988 without any positive media attention, or big name people to get votes for him. He won the follwing states: (SC, MI, GA, AZ, CO, WA, VA, NC, AL, MS, LA).
And Jesse advocated for REAL change. He defined it and he wasn't afraid to discuss it. Obama is playing both sides of the fence. Praising Reagan and appearing with a homophobic preacher.
You can keep Nobama!

Pretty much
That's right, everything is playing right into the all-powerful GOP's plans, perfectly orchestrated by the all-seeing, all-knowing Flaming Eye of Karl Rove.
Pretty much. He offered his help to Obama and Obama took it. Ended up screwing Obama and HRC - but then that was predicatable. The enemy of yer enemy is not your friend - a lesson most of us learn by 2nd grade.
By now I'd hope the ever-stubborn super lefties that have insisted on splitting our vote since Humphrey probably don't have much credibility in their insistance each time that the Democrats are going win no matter how hard they try to frick it up for us.

That's "Dudette" to you!
Dude, you're an asshole, and you're not worth my time.

Your ability to determine my gender has about as much acuity as your reading skills.
Funny how you guys always fold and resort to name-calling when someone calls you on your demonstrable malinterpretations.

Hey Bebop-o
So you read my rants? I'm always surprised to find, when I do read too, that a person's opinion in one area doesn't find them totally the opposite of what I thought in another. In other words, finding them a bastard in one set of letters, they're something altogether human in others.
You know, people who say they are for peace and love and zen and then whisper behind other's backs, well, I would say that they're not what they believe themselves to be. But then, I would say there are few of us who are. But we should be. I imagine that is relativism at it's worst, but then I do believe humans to be relativistic in their nature and ideal in their souls.
So, we smile and let them whisper and know a thing or two.
Night.

HRC is unelectable
There are plenty of conservatives who are dissatisfied with current policies and would like to see some change in DC. However, there's no way they want to see HRC's version of change. She is absolutely hated by the right. If conservatives are not gung ho for any candidate, and right now a lot of them aren't, they might cast 1/2 a vote for Obama by simply staying home on election day. But they will come out of the woodwork to cast a vote against Hillary for whoever happens to be on the ballot against her. For that reason alone, Obama has a chance to win, HRC doesn't.
