Obama's detestable dirty tricks!
Obama's detestable dirty tricks have ruined what could of been the most landmarked, historial American Election Ever!

What could of been the amazing rise of Democratic Party, just became the campaign of SHAME. The world has been decieved, and most notably dissapointed by Obama's filthy campaign.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/alice_miles/article3192712.ece

snip>

On Monday Hillary Clinton called for a truce reminding everyone that “Senator Obama and I are on the same side”. Hear hear. But how did it come to this????

The thin catalogue of complaints against the Clinton campaign from the Obama campaign were unfounded, manipulative and self-indulgent. At best they called into question the oversensitivity of Mr Obama, at worst they showed him willing to play a divisive race card that is damaging the entire Democratic Party and tarnishing a great and historic electoral contest for the centre Left. The whole episode has convinced me he isn't tough enough for the White House.

The thinnest and most whiny complaint of all was the one that insisted Bill Clinton was “racially insensitive” because he said that Mr Obama's claim to have been consistently against the Iraq war was a “fairytale”. I cannot for the life of me see the potential racial slur in that. Even if, as the Obama camp has wildly contended, Mr Clinton meant to suggest that the story of Mr Obama's own candidacy was a fairytale, it still wouldn't be a racial slur. Many people think that it is a fairytale, in the nicest sense. As in a dream. Now who was it who once had one of those?

Mr Obama seems determined to cry “race” whenever anyone attacks him. He has been playing the game carefully, admittedly, allowing spokesmen and leaked memos to speak for him, while publicly denying that he wants to stoke up the race issue. For a candidate who seeks to be beyond race, it is a dangerous game, which perhaps is why on Monday he told a rally: “We share the same goals, we are all Democrats, we all believe in civil rights, we all believe in equal rights”, adding that the Clintons “have historically and consistently been on the right side of civil rights issues. I think they care about the African-American community and they care about all Americans and they want to see equal rights and equal justice in this country”. And he could have added, but didn't: and I do not believe that they are playing the race card, and I believe they are above that - so stop making those claims in my name.

23. Talk to Obama
He's the one with the power to make it stop.

And yes, he should be talking about more important issues.

15. No, she's not correct. This was initiated by the Clinton campaign.
The Obama campaign had nothing to gain from doing such a thing and it's public record that the Clinton campaign has let go one of the instigators.

17. this is just crap. for what it is worth, beth, those of us in illinois
Edited on Thu Jan-17-08 01:32 PM by mopinko
trust him, and expected this kind of crap. the truth is that the obama campaign has turned themselves inside out to keep this from being about race. never, ever have they tried to be the "black" candidate. ever. if for no other reason that they know very well that "the protest vote" is just not enough.
but- i tell you this- the folks that i work with, here in the local party, know this guy from back in springfield, and love him. trust him, believe in him, and the promise of what he can do. they have worked their fingers to the bone for him. i held out for al for a long time. but these people and their hard work have won me over. fwiw :shrug:

you always hit and run, how come you never stay to defend your post? It does get rather tiresome. Perhaps you could post some positive stuff about the candidate you support?

No thanks. Obama needs to grow up a little before he runs again.

40. I sat here for several minutes trying to decide
whether to give you my little hysterically laughing guy, because it meant kicking the thread again.

Since I wanted to include my taser nurse graphic, I thought what the hell. Everyone needs to see the nonsense the OP has been spewing.

Again.

30. Obama has, for the most part, been exceptionally positive and,
IMHO, has the patience of a saint. It's been the Clinton campaign that's been doing all the apologizing. I especially loved the BET guy - a low life who made his money demeaning black women - sending a letter of apology today for something he claimed yesterday he didn't do (which, of course, he did). Is liberalnurse on the Clinton payroll or something?

it would be a generous public service to let everyone know, IMHO.

I see the opposite thing happening. I see the Clintons fanning the flames. But, it's all perception.

42. Alert me when Clinton supporters start thinking it's clever to post unflattering pictures of Obama.
Then we'll know the debate is balanced.
