Obama, whom you support, has denounced the views of Farrakhan. He doesn't even desire his endorsement. Do you therefore denounce Obama for denoucing Farrakhan?
Right now, all I'll say is that every time the word "Farakkhan" escapes Clinton's lips, she's being a racist.
Period.
Full stop.
Why? Because you declare it? It seems to me that if you cannot defend a position, that you have lost the argument.
Are you, in particular the arbiter of what is racist and what is not? Please remember that Clinton gets asked these questions. The current standard among Obama supporters seems to be that if she addresses the question that she is a racist, and that if she tries to avoid the question by simply stating her own position that she is racist.
Can you conceive of any circumstance in which Clinton could have avoided be tarred with the charge of racism this election season given the fact that Obama chose to racialize the primary?
Why does Obama get a pass when he uses race and plays the race card to his advantage? Why?
Anyone that watches Bill O'Reilly's "Personal Spin Zone" knows that no one wins against O'Reilly unless he lets them. The truth is that O'Reilly puts his own personal spin on everything, and IMO the only reason he even had Hillary on his show was to be able to say the Hillary came on his show and Obama won't come on. O'Reilly and Hannity are the biggest smoke and mirror's artists on FOX. There mission is to make Obama look as bad as possible and the sequencing of FOX NEWS has had that specific goal in mind. I would not discount their Right Wing Big Boss of telling them that they will get a bonus if they make Obama look so bad that he will not win this election. Shawn Hannity is the worst with his Radio Show. For example on the 17th of April, he played twice as many real audio clips of Hillary's debate comments than Obama's, then rather than play a sound byte of Obama's bitter words, Hannity decides that he should say the words himself using his own tonality and voice dynamics to make is sound negative, then plays a sound byte of Obama's response to the criticism. This is down right unprofessional and certainly not fair and balanced. I watch MSNBC now and won't even turn on FOX NEWS and I bet their ratings have gone down considerably since they have been attacking Obama 24/7. They are nealy as bad as Russ Limbaugh the ultimate Racist and liberal Hate machine!
Here's some more pandering
More grasping at straws
Hillary proposes to break up O.P.E.C.
Through anti-trust laws.
Lots 'o luck
When the bullshit is flying
Don't forget to duck
That wondrous woman
The sista can rhyme
Sure she supports a bonehead
But that ain't no capital crime
I would like to share my poem
"Hillary the Obliterator"
If you turn to page 5
I'll catch ya comments later
Manos
oooops. ooooops.
looks like I wasn't right.
Looks like your words were kindly said
upon a different "fight".
Tonight
I'll light
a candle in the sight
of a woman who loves Hillary
to make all things aright....
My view? My Veiw?
I'll make a bet with you:
I bet what you think I think's true is actually untrue.
I bet my view is true to you if slightly over-skewed.
But at the risk of being rude I'd rather view my food as crude then lose respect from you.
OK. We don't agree.
That's certainly our right,
Part of "democracy."
No reason we should fight.
Just go with the low road, it's the one that you know road.
Listen, I really don't want to get bogged down in the issue of Clinton's racism at this time, mostly because I (and others) have recently written extensively about it in these pages.
Right now, all I'll say is that every time the word "Farakkhan" escapes Clinton's lips, she's being a racist.
Period.
Full stop.
I gotta tell ya straight
I don't share your view
And one these days
this election'll be through
I support Barack Obama for reasons I consider sound and true
And would not vote for Hillary Clinton if you paid me to
But by far the most interesting aspect of her new persona is that she waited until she had effectivly "castrated" Barack Obama with her race based tactics that all too easily appealed to the so-called reagan democrats (an oxymoron if I ever heard one). She inflamed the racial divisions through the Rev, Wright decacle, South Carolina, Texas, etc. But it wasn't until she got to PA when the claws really came out and all pretense at racial civility was lost.
Please give an example of Hillary Clinton's exact "race-based" comments quoting her. You can't. Rev. Wright said "God Damn America," something that many people understandably took offense at. Barack Obama has disassociated himself from many of Wright's comments. He disavows them. Are you saying that Barack Obama has become racist? Or are you merely saying that because of Clinton's campaigning against him he is now unmanned? You think he is ball-less? Oh, dear. You think he is pretty weak, don't you? You don't have a very high idea of Obama, do you? You disagree with him on Rev. Wright, on patriotism, and on AIDS. Hillary Clinton doesn't. Barack Obama now agrees with her on Rev. Wright's statements. How come she is racist and Barack Obama is not?
When she thought she had him on the ropes, out jumps the alter-Hillary and from that point on her lies and other baggage were lost in translation. Nevertheless, the ethnics bought into the latest iteration of Hillary which effectively prevents Obama from returning fire in-kind.
Who are these "ethnics" you disdain? Please be more specific. I hope you are not spouting racism.
Imagine the headlines in the minds of the ethnics if he were to attack her the same way that she has attacked him. Powerful Black man attacks poor, innocent white woman who was simply defending her honor. Yeah, like Obama stands a chance after she has repositioned herself as the great white hope.
He is not so powerful if he is unmanned so easily. Obama could try something new: detailed and explicit plans to counter her, better debating techinique, accepting the free-flow debate she proposed. Ha! He can't hold a candle to her in debate. I guess that is one arena where the better "man" wins.
(I am trying to talk to you on your level where everything is drama, hyperbole, and race and gender paradigm.)
