Obama is the ONLY candidate to use ANY racist language!!
Edited on Tue Mar-11-08 06:49 PM by mculator
Seriously... I don't care if it was a blatant MISQUOTE or an incorrect paraphrasing of Lou Dobbs. The fact is that when Obama said that Rush and Dobbs said to send "THOSE PEOPLE" back, those words were HIS.

Obama should reject and denounce his kool aid serving ass. He's damn well lucky to even be considered for a VP. There are better candidates for her: Richardson and Clark to name a few.

The only reason I'd support the dream ticket with either candidate on top: A Democratic Win.

Jesus--Obama supporters chanting burn Ferraro? It's not like she said he was only getting votes from "Those People". Noone burned Elizabeth Edwards for saying John couldn't be Black or a Woman!

BO supporters just keep proving themselves to be a mindless cult. They don't give a shit about what their candidate says or does.

1. If I recall correctly, Obama also said he'd have to see Bill Clinton dance first before he could
comment on whether or not Bill was the first black President.

nice revelation of your fact-finding-before-conclusion-drawn-and-opinion-stated abilities...

11. He was asked in a debate if Bill was the first black president
He didn't bring it up. I thought his answer was pretty funny, actually.

15. He said that with a laugh in his voice, and he was making fun
of the white STEREOTYPE that blacks can dance better than whites ...
That is NOT racist; that is just acknowledging that there are some
stereotypes out there that he could use to "prove" whether Bill was
black.

Ferraro was out of line; this entire argument is specious.

48. He wasn't making fun of Edwards for being a white male
They were all joking around. Obama was speaking about the historical aspect of this election and was speaking positively about both Hillary and Edwards. It was a congenial moment. Edwards, being a white male IS the stereotypical US presidential candidate or has been since the founding of this nation.

If you took offense at that, then you obviously have issues. It was not meant with animosity or hatred in any way.

Seriously I wonder if people here have friends at all of other races - with whom they joke about, including about racial stereotypes...

The fact is only one candidate has been making racist jokes in this election cycle. Even the rethug candidates didn't.

Clawing at anything to serve your political spin is rather pathetic! Obama may have picked an unwise fight with Lou Dobbs, however Lou has indeed been an advocate for the deportation of illegal aliens as well as most of the right-wing rethug echo machine.

that his supporters here say incredibly racist things to mock Hillary supporters. They take our words and translate them with horrible racist language.

If we said some of the things they've said we'd be tombstoned but the mods let them run amuck.

edit to add--Since Obama trotted out the race card again for Miss, maybe someone in the MSM will notice. Probably not, cause they're fuckers.

gray and grey are interchangeable in the english language, so I'm sure a (sic) wouldn't be needed if it weren't a proper noun, but for that I apologize. Funny how Obama supporters, like most bourgeois elitist scum, make fun of typos so often. However, if it's a reference to Grey Davis, by the way, Kudos. I love California and the candidates it votes for.

Burn.

Yes, I'm quite aware that the words 'grey' and 'gray' are interchangeable in the "English" language (note capitalization - after all, I can't disappoint you now that you have me all figured out).

The spelling of proper names, however, does not, as you indicate, fall into that category; so thank you for that (semi) apology.

But now I'm "bourgeois elitist scum"! Wow, I've hit the big time!

'Burn'? You've got to be kidding me! I haven't been told off like that since high school! :rofl:

Third Clinton Volunteer Knew Of Smear E-Mail

A third volunteer for Hillary Clinton's campaign was aware of a propaganda e-mail alleging that Barack Obama is a Muslim who plans on "destroying the U.S. from the inside out."
"Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential Candidacy," the email reads. "Please forward to everyone you know. The Muslims have said they Plan on destroying the U.S. from the inside out, what better way to start than at The highest level."


Two Clinton volunteers, Linda Olson and Judy Rose, have already been asked to resign from the campaign for their roles in forwarding the e-mail. The AP reported yesterday that Olson, a volunteer coordinator in Iowa County, sent a version of the e-mail to 11 people, including Ben Young, a regional field director for Chris Dodd's campaign. Young passed it on to the AP.

Kerrey Apologizes to Obama Over Remark
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=4031436
Kerrey's mention of Obama's middle name and his Muslim roots raised eyebrows because they are also used as part of a smear campaign on the Internet that falsely suggests Obama is a Muslim who wants to bring jihad to the United States. Obama is a Christian.

The Clinton campaign has already fired two volunteer county coordinators in Iowa for forwarding hoax e-mails with the debunked claim. Last week, a national Clinton campaign co-chairman resigned for raising questions about whether Obama's teenage drug use could be used against him, so Kerrey's comments raised questions about whether the Clinton campaign might be using another high-profile surrogate to smear Obama.

Bill Clinton Asks for a Second Chance
By Liz Halloran
Posted February 11, 2008

The morning after his wife, Hillary, was routed in three state contests by Sen. Barack Obama in their dead-heat battle for the Democratic nomination, former President Bill Clinton made his case for her before a packed Sunday service at one of the largest black churches in Washington, D.C.
But first he offered an apology of sorts for racially tinged comments he made about Obama and his candidacy that have triggered a backlash in the black community and among many other Democrats.

Clinton invoked his "worship of a God of second chances" in pronouncing himself glad to be at the Temple of Praise, which claims nearly 15,000 members. His invocation of second chances echoed comments he made early last week at black churches in California, where he campaigned for his wife before that state's Super Tuesday primary, which she won.

Bill Clinton To Apologize At LA Black Churches
Once again, Bill Clinton is ready to repent.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/02/02/bill-clinton-to-apologize_n_84573.html
On Sunday the former president is scheduled to visit black churches in South Central Los Angeles, where he's expected to offer a mea culpa to those who "dearly loved him" when he was their president, Rep. Diane Watson (D-Calif.) says.
Watson, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus who has endorsed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), tells us she'll usher the former president to more than half a dozen churches in her district where she says he needs to "renew his relationship" with congregants who were turned off by his racially tinged
comments in the days leading up to and following the South Carolina primary. (Such as when Clinton compared Sen. Barack Obama's landslide victory to Jesse Jackson's wins in 1984 and 1988.)

CLINTON ALLIES SUPPRESS THE VOTE IN NEVADA...
On Meet the Press on Sunday, Hillary Clinton said her campaign had nothing to do with a lawsuit--written about by Nation Editor Katrina vanden Heuvel--that threatens to prevent thousands of workers from voting in the Nevada caucus on Saturday.
Back in March, the Nevada Democratic Party agreed to set up caucus locations on the Vegas strip for low-income shift workers, many of them members of the state's influential Culinary Union, who commute long distances to work and wouldn't be able to get home in time to caucus. It was an uncontroversial idea until the Culinary Union endorsed Barack Obama and the Nevada State Education Association, whose top officials support Clinton, sued to shut down the caucus sites.
The Clinton camp played dumb until yesterday, when President Clinton came out in favor of the lawsuit.
Clinton's comments drew a heated response from D. Taylor, the head of Nevada's Culinary Union, on MSNBC's Hardball. "He is in support of disenfranchising thousands upon thousands of workers, not even just our members," Taylor said of Clinton. "The teachers union is just being used here. We understand that This is the Clinton campaign. They tried to disenfranchise students in Iowa. Now they're trying to
disenfranchise people here in Nevada, who are union members and people of color and women."

Rank-and-file members of Nevada's teachers union also come out against the lawsuit filed by their leadership. "We never thought our union and Senator Clinton would put politics ahead of what's right for our students, but that's exactly what they're doing," the letter stated. "As teachers, and proud Democrats, we hope they will drop this undemocratic lawsuit and help all Nevadans caucus, no matter which candidate they support."
The lawsuit's opponents make a persuasive point. Creating obstacles to voting is what the GOP does to Democrats, not what Democrats should be doing to other Democrats.


Clinton adviser steps down after drug use comments
Earlier Thursday, Clinton personally apologized to rival Obama for Shaheen's remarks.

Obama accepted her apology, according to David Axelrod, the top political strategist for the Obama campaign.

Edwards: No Conscience in Clinton Campaign
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/06/edwards-no-conscience-in-clinton-campaign/
By Julie Bosman
KEENE, N.H. – John Edwards angrily took on Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton at two news conferences in a row on Sunday, saying that her campaign “doesn’t seem to have a conscience.”



COMPTON, Calif. (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton and her campaign tried to mend ties to black voters Thursday when a key supporter apologized to her chief rival, Barack Obama, for comments that hinted at Obama's drug use as a teenager. The candidate herself, meanwhile, praised the Rev. Martin Luther King and promised to assist with the rebirth of this troubled, largely black city.

Bob Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television, apologized
for comments he made at a Clinton campaign rally in South Carolina on Sunday that hinted at Obama's use of drugs as a teenager.

Clinton Surrogate Compares Obama Ad to Nazi March

http://news.yahoo.com/s/thenation/20080201/cm_thenation/45278988_1
Fri Feb 1, 2:23 PM ET
The Nation -- On a media conference call organized by the Hillary Clinton campaign today, Clinton surrogate Len Nichols compared an Obama health care ad to Nazis.
----------
Accusing political opponents of Nazism is an outrageous smear. Raising the specter of a Nazi march in response to a health care mailer that evokes the insurance industry is so absurd, it would be hard to take the attack seriously, were it not launched from a high profile national campaign conference call in this crucial stretch of the presidential race. And political observers know, of course, that the Clinton Campaign regularly arranges opportunities for surrogates to launch these kind of smears, which are later followed up with apologies. (See: Bob Johnson, Bill Shaheen, Bob Kerrey, and Francine Torge, to name the most recent offenders.) For his part, Nichols did not immediately return a call requesting further comment.
-------------------------
Len Nichols, Director of New America's Health Policy Program, stated, "For nearly 17 years I have worked tirelessly to reform our nation's struggling health system. Today my passion overwhelmed me. I chose an analogy that was wholly inappropriate. I am deeply sorry for any offense that my unfortunate comments may have caused.

46. LOL
links would have been fine. but none of it has anything to do with the OP, genius. Read the title, and pay attention to the word CANDIDATE. You probably can't distinguish between Bill and Hill. Typical of an Obamanaut.

55. Oh that's right: You and tweety think she wouldn't be here
if her husband hadn't been president and cheated on her.

Still, I said candidate, not the entity responsible for a candidate.

Genius.

If I were like you, I'd be calling out Axelrod on every NOBAMA post.

61. Excuse me Genius...
I don't watch the Cable Talk Shows, so I don't know what you are talking about, but trust me, you do not have a clue as to what "I" think. I supplied news articles,(Information), with "quotes" and links where you can go read up, on who said what in the "Clinton Campaign". Who is responsible for Samantha Powers saying "monster"? Who is responsible for the latest quip about Monica? That's the "Obama Campaign" Genius.

62. Hey, You're the Genius!
I called you that first. Typical, Obamaesque even! Plagiarize others!

The quip about Monica?? You mean the one about how she supports Obama because the Clintons left a bad taste in her mouth? I heard it from a BO supporter, but I don't know who came up with it. I yawned harder than I did when you cut and pasted 10000 pages into a reply to my OP.

Sincerely,

"Genius"

57. "Seriously... I don't care if it was a blatant MISQUOTE or an incorrect paraphrasing " Well, if....
you're to ignorant to actually find the quote and discover what was said, then you're obviously talking out your ass.

Supporters like you, of any candidate, don't give a shit about looking for the truth before shooting of their ignorant dumb fuck mouths.

You're probably the guy who walks around and wonder why no one takes you seriously.

58. Well have a dose
of the BO typo police, and let me flame you for this tidbit

"You're to ignorant"

It wouldn't be typical of a BO kool aid drinker if I didn't add:
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Lou Dobbs himself: "You People?"

Ignorant?

Irony.
