Why is it only Bill Clinton that has to go to the black community?
Edited on Fri Jan-11-08 11:54 PM by BluegrassDem
Why come Hillary is not on black radio explaining her statements? Why is she always sending Bill to talk to black people? She's the one running for president. I wanna see her face in front of black people. I'm sick of her using Bill to try massage black people like we're stupid or something. All she does is have some token appearances in some black church with some prepared speech. She's never had an open forum with mostly African-Americans. And I sure in hell hadn't seen her going to door to door in a black neighborhood!

The Clintons are such a joke. I'm glad for Obama's candidacy if nothing else but to expose the Clintons and some other white liberals for what they are behind the scenes. I don't even care if Obama loses now cause his running has opened a lot of black folks eyes and many of them will be sitting at home this election if Hillary's the nominee.

1. "Other white liberals..."
Racism is a two-way street, it seems. And we've all been kidding ourselves.

It's exposed a hell of a lot more than that.

7. Because it's Hillary's campaign. That's why.
Don't be hardheaded.

The wannabe first female president sends out her husband to speak for her instead of going out there to people directly, herself. She can pull the 'aint no ways tired' in a controlled situation, but she can't do a radio interview.

She's a robot.

She is not spontaneous.

If it's not scripted, she can't deal with it.

But Bill is supposed to?

Yeah, whatever. What they did was re emphasize for audiences that with Hillary as president you're *really* getting Bill.

That isn't insulting to you?

5. Danny Williams-By the pictures he sure looks like a Clinton!
I won't post the links, (You can Goggle the name.) but the British press writes that the bastard son of a drug addicted Little Rock prostitute moved to Australia with his mom and was attending expensive private schools.

Now how do you think that happened?

6. Thank you. Thank you. Where was Hillary? It's her campaign.
Or is it?

She can't speak for herself?

She has to send her man -- a man who doesn't even like her enough to sleep with her and not embarass her with all the *ss he gets -- to speak for her?

Please.

I guess they figure they can fool enough of the people enough of the time, to get away with the bullshit they're doing.

9. If Obama tries to make every little criticism about race, he is toast
Edited on Sat Jan-12-08 04:24 AM by niceypoo
Because that, in itself, is racist. From what I can see, any and all criticism of Obama is racist, or crosses the line, but its non stop open season on the Clintons 24/7. The hypocracy reeks to high heaven and the thin skinned hypersensitivity of his supporters borders on pathetic. If he falls apart under such minor criticism, I can only imagine what will happen if the republicans begin swiftboating him.

10. He hasn't done any such thing. At all. why would you say something
so demonstrably false. And no, all criticism of Obama is not racist. No one says it is. And has he fallen apart? Where? When? He's done fine against the criticism the Clintons have thrown at him.

And if you don't think that some of the things coming out of the Clinton campaign are questionable at best, you're in denial. I condemn Jesse Jackson Jr's remarks whole heartedly because they crossed the line. In the same spirit, I condemn Shaheen's remarks, Kerrey's comments, Cuomo's comments, the aide who referred to Obama as a "hip black friend", the emails about how Obama is a stealth Muslim sent out by 3 Clinton volunteers, the email the Clintons sent out falsely claiming Obama doesn't support choice.

Seems they have a lot more to answer for as a campaign than Obama's campaign does.

Haven't seen you say boo about that shit.
