Are you KIDDING me with this "fairy tale" racial bullshit??? Here's the clip, how is it racial?

http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/2008/01/_by_frank_james_the.html

Bill talks about Obama claiming to be an anti-Iraq-war warrior, only to have said in 2004 that there wasn't much difference between he and bush on Iraq; that it was understandable that people had voted for the IWR; and that he didn't know how he would have voted himself.

Bill is right.

There's nothing racist about it.

This whole thing is a sick attept by the Obama camp to peel away African American votes in SC.



Good God, how more blatant could it be?

I like toward the end where you see his wife, Michele, standing there watching him. She's got that look of "THAT"S MY MAN RIGHT THERE!" :)

You seem to want a rock star. I want a capable leader.

I don't want to join hands with the proven liars of the republican party.

As pretty as the idea might be, idealistically.

Reality is what we have to deal with.

Is that better?

You are not the first, but go for it if you feel you must be highly outraged. We WIll deal. ;)

.........“To say that there is a pattern of racist comments coming out of the Hillary campaign is ridiculous,” said Ohio Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones. “All of the world knows the commitment of President Clinton and Sen. Clinton to civil rights issues — and not only the commitment in terms of words but in terms of deeds.”

Referring to the King quote, Sheila Jackson Lee, another Clinton supporter, said Clinton was trying to contrast King and Obama, not to diminish King: "It really is a question of focusing on the suggestion that you can inspire without deeds — what is well known to the child who studies Dr. King in school is that yes, he spoke, but he also moved people to action."

thanks.

That doesn't speak of unity to me.

I bring it up because I just got back onto DU after many hours of being gone.

Not everyone here has unlimited access.

I know one thing. I like who I like, you like who you like. That's okay. I hope this place and the media get over the rest of it and concentrate on the issues instead of personalities. I'd rather support my candidate's position on an issue than hear about the crowds, individual conversations, etc.

I agree with you that positions on issues should be the focus.

Calling Bill Clinton a racist for examining Obama's positions is bullshit.

So the quesiton remains, was Obama against the Iraq war, then for it in 2004, and now against it again?

Clearly, he was all of those.

So what do we accept as honest from him now?

How can you know?


edited for grammatical correction only.

And don't get me started on Bill Clinton. We can't impeach this current asshat because of him; he's anathema in my book for that little trick that will live in infamy. I know people love him for many things, but I've become less of a fan.

As for the slurs the Clintons have made originally or through their surrogates, you can believe what you want. Look around.

As far as how long I've been off DU, what does it matter?

Got answers?

Not even close.

Not about me at all.

We need to be worried about this.....very worried.

Fortunately, I don't see much of this in the real world - just on the blogosphere. But, Rove will have his way and our infighting will become global soon enough.

That's important. And I wonder if we did that more often if we'd still be fighting as much around here? I doubt it.

would not as many misunderstandings and maybe then if there were a difference of opinion of what was or what was not said, it could be a civil conversation.....


Let's fight like cats & dogs - until February 5th.Let's keep it fair, no knives, no personal attacks, and with a smile on our faces.
Then on February 6th,let's agree to work together and support the Democrat.Our only alternative is to destroy each other and help the Fascist bastards win.Surely, your hatred of the republicans trumps your feelings for Hillary, right?

So - what does everyone say?

In fact, I don't hate Hillary at all, and have stated so. I worry more about the (seeming) majority of people in this country who do hate her (irrationally). If she gets the nom, I'll be behind her 110%. I'll be scared shitless about the outcome of the GE, but I will support her.

as twisting "likable enough" into an attack when Hillary is asked in a debate about voters not finding her likable enough.

He offers no change, imho.

Obama has corrected him many times, but he continues with the BS.

I must have missed that.

:wow: Are you getting tuckered out?

no one has answered the question.

And divisive behavior among Democrats only promotes Republicans.

Please don't kick this thread.

Lordy.

And taking it out of context.

It is REALLY turning me off to Obama.

is making up shit like this.

Maybe the Clinton campaign should fire him!
