The Dumbest Race Card Ever Played
BARACK OBAMA (AGAIN) NEEDS TO GROW SOME STONES, GET OVER HIMSELF
FITSNews - January 14, 2008 - Ever since embarking on his “Bed, Barack & Beyond” tour with Oprah Winfrey, Democratic presidential frontrunner Barack Obama has taken to whining like a little girl whenever somebody says something that enables him to create a political wedge issue “offends” him.
Seriously, we’ve stuck up for Obama in the past when he’s been attacked (here and here), and God knows it pains to the core to do anything that could benefit Hillary Clinton or that Marxist chopper John Edwards.
Yet Obama’s overt playing of the race card in response to some innocuous comments made recently by Clinton leaves us with no choice. Basically, Clinton said it took the involvement of President Lyndon Johnson to pass the civil rights legislation long advocated by Martin Luther King, Jr. Which last time we checked, it did. Somehow, though, Obama has managed to portray that comment as a full-fledged attack on King’s legacy, which it isn’t.
Bottom line? Obama’s people are stoking a nationwide racial fire over something Spanish people refer to as nada, which is exactly the kind of crap he said his “different” campaign wasn’t going to do. We’d elaborate further, but that last sentence made the point so brilliantly there’s really not much else to say … except of course that Hillary still sucks.

Woe be it to expect a Republican to actually know history, but LBJ only put the full force of his abilty and office behind the bill after King led the march from Selma to Montgomery. So, it took King to get LBJ to do anything. He had been prepared to lay off, considering the legislative issues with securing funding for Vietnam.

Barack Hussein Obama goes to a church that pledges alliegence to the continent of AFRICA. Not America (or even North America).
He is racist. He won’t be the nominee this time, but probably will be the presidential nominee next time. He’s only 46 or 47. He’s 25 years younger than John McCain.

Barack isn’t scary. sic(k) will is scary.
sic(k) willie’s church pledges only to those who pay the most money under the table - preferably in cash. Now, that’s scary.
As you read what the boy has to say, you realize he professes to hate everyone and claims to believe in no one. But, in reality his attacks focus is with who’s paying the most (preferably in cash).
He’d make more and earn more respect working on a pig farm in Red Bank. He might even loose pounds if he got a real job.
But, a real job is not in the cards for sic(k) willie. After all. With his soiled reputation, what honest pig farmer would hire him?

Perhaps I missed it, but I never saw Obama address Hillary’s comments or suggest that they were racist. I’ve seen others do it, not Obama. Has some campaign official of his made a comment about it? It would be pretty Clintonesque to make an ill advised and bizarre attack on Obama (does Hillary really wish to be LBJ?), and then spin your attack into a charge that the other campaign is bringing race into the issue.

“shuck ‘n’ jive” is innocuous?
Even the SC Supreme Court recogized (in 1989!) that “shuckin ‘n’ jivin” is a racist phrase.
You are a dumbass. And that’s a race neutral term.

I read the headline and thought this would be about Bobcat Johnson’s ham-fisted smackdown attempt while campaigning with Hillary Rodham in Columbia. Now there was a bad attempt at playing the race card. Even worse than Shaheen’s lame attempt… and Andrew Young’s lousy shot… and Bill’s “fairy tale” poopbomb… The Clintons are getting their wideloads handed to them by the junior Senator from Illinois. Good stuff.

Wil, Hillary doesn’t, Monica did… at least in the case of Bill. As to Vince Foster, Hillary might have, Monica didn’t and didn’t inhale either.
