Show me the quotations where Clyburn and Brazile call Clinton an outright racist. (I'm not saying that they doesn't exist, but my search on Google turned up nothing.)
Saying that Clinton played the race card or some other nuanced expression is different from actually calling someone a racist. And I contend that the single person maintaining the racist thread is Bill Clinton himself (with the assistance of emotional sponges like Joan Walsh).
There's so much that Clinton could have done and still could do to turn this around. But his juvenile pout just remind me of what a selfish egomaniac he always has been. (Ironically, many Hillary die-hards keep attacking Obama for that very thing.)
After all the nastiness of the primary, it's just a little galling to be expected to feel sorry for Bill Clinton and his fragile ego.
I'm gonna have to demure to you and leave it up to you my friend.
Your little fingers must be getting wizened from Googling.
maureen caught my slip, now the spellin' police have caught me, and I'm goin' away for a real long trip.
I feel you. Keep your head up.
anniew thanks for posting that. I agree with you...
The scale of comparing Obama deliberately to the antichrist is pounds more damaging that the impolitic remarks Clinton might have made ad hoc on the campaign trail. I have to remind people here that Bill Clinton was not reading from a card, he was speaking off the top of his head in each of the times he has been "dinged"...McCain not so much. They're writing the movie for him, Rove et. all and he's singing in tune.

you take my breath away with your elegance. brava.

I believe even the shy lass maureen is beginning to whistle to your tunes.
Thank you much for the praise, and may you know much gladness in all of your days, and a hearty "salam" to you as well, and may we definatively emerge from under the sway of these eight years of - Bush imposed hell.
To cover that up, you can't be blamed for creating a smoke-screen. Not that I'd expect you to be interested as you contemplate your navel and pal Klytus scratches your back, but Russian and Georgian rivalry over South Ossetia has turned to military conflict, with at least l000 dead this evening. Just get on with your "Yes We Can". Maybe you're referring to canned pineapples, Barack's from Hawaii, don't forget.
Such tripe! Bill Clinton had his legacy blown for him when he spent a little too much attention on the lovely lips of Monica. Hillary is an extraordinary politician, hard of heart and cold as forged steel and about as sharp as a Hanza sword. This " I have to do everything I can to honor and respect my supporters is about as transparent as a Miss Budfalo Chip wet T shirt. Both Clintons have huge egos, and are still in shellshock that they lost voters with brains and education under the age of 50, and had to make do with the elderly and the aging feminist fringe that cried do or die when their candidate lost and the prospect of a McCain presidency grew real. And what poppycock to suggest that Hillary would be a great Vice President. A great leader thinks about how what she says today will sound tomorrow under different circumstances. Hillary's "McCain has a lifetime of experience and Obama a speech" broke every rule of political judgment, and as we all knew, would be turned on Obama. Hillary failed he graciousness test when she closed her last primary rally and pretended she had won. She also lied through her teeth about that little Tuzla landing, you might recall. Bill Clinton has behaved more badly since the primaries that a five year old denied a chocolate bar. This couple is each the mirror image of the other: smart, vainglorious and unable to deal with a reality in which they aren't cast in the starring roles. I expect the worst from Denver, which is now all about Bill and Hillary, and not about launching the nominee. And how truly, truly awful for Barack Obama and his VP pick to have to share a historic spotlight and thee launch of a historic candidacy with these two overwrought throwbacks to baby boomer politics of me, me, me. Joan, you need a little perspective so you can really understand what the meaning of is, is. Clue: it is not Clinton anymore.
Macadamia nuts also come from Hawaai!
Well you're right I'm an old boomer and I sure do hate getting old. Sooooo many things my mama didn't tell me. I surely can't speak for all women, because there are some unaccountable views out there, but as a woman who's worked in a 'mans' business for 20+ years, Obama is the kind of guy corporate sends down and you chew up and spit out before breakfast. A large part of it is fear of what the Repubs will do to him. I'm not interested in 'making nice' with the repubs, I want somebody who can 'take names' and kick butts. A lot of people might want to call that fighting old wars, but gee whiz look at what they have done to this country. We are in such a HUGE mess.
Just get on with your "Yes We Can". Maybe you're referring to canned pineapples, Barack's from Hawaii, don't forget.
And yet, you're still here making fun of people that are enthused and inspired by their candidate, while people in Georgia are being killed.
Good job.
To tell the truth, it sucks what is going on there. 150 tanks and "volunteers" (Putin's term, not mine) crossing in to help.
Everybody is ignoring this, the stock market is sky rocketing on no good news, oil prices are plummeting, all is well in the world, while Putin is on the march. It's kind of surreal.
I'd actually read about Russia's invasion of Georgia earlier. It wasnt due to lack of information that I "put up a smoke screen", it was for lack of an ability to do much about it at the present time. One question I would ask, if we Americans are just so dadgummed stupid, why are you wasting your doubtless valuable time participating in a chat session of an American website?
Thanks for gracing us with your European wisdom and superiority, though. Yes, we can indeed!
With Love,
Stupid American Negro
