The State Senator of South Carolina was speaking about Barak Obama when he said. . . ..If Barak Obama wins the Democratic Presidential Nomination, then he'll bring down the Democratic Party because he's BLACK !!!!!!!!!!
What's even more ASTOUNDING is that he's a supporter of Hillary Clinton, and did later apologize, but interestingly enough, Hillary said she appreciated his apology . Appreciating an apology is fine, but do you think anyone else would ever get away with an OUTRAGEOUS comment like that ? This isn't a case of of 'slip of the tongue', a single misplaced word, no, it's a complete thought .
Are you aware of this ? Did your news station tell you this ?
Where oh where is the Nationwide Outrage over this ?

The story is on Yahoo news . It's titled ' Clinton, Obama trade barbs over donor' . Ironically enough, it's buried near the end of the story !!!!

We never hear about Democratic hyprocrisy from the Liberal media. This is why I keep exhorting everyone to watch Fox News. They provide stories the mainstream media will never allow you to hear.
Here is a quote from the website cited below:
"The same New York media that went ballistic three years ago over mildly bigoted remarks uttered by an Atlanta ballplayer have virtually ignored the comments of New York City Councilman Charles Barron, who announced Saturday that he wanted to slap white people who didn't support reparations.
"I want to go up to the closest white person and say, 'You can't understand this, it's a black thing,' and then slap him, just for my mental health," Barron told a crowd of demonstrators who had gathered in Washington, D.C. to support the cause.
But 48 hours after the elected official uttered the incendiary remarks, the New York media has all but embargoed the story."
Can you imagine the uproar if a WHITE politician had said he wanted so slap a black man? He'd be the subject of peer and judicial review within 24 hours and forced to resign.
How about New Orleans' mayor Ray Nagin who said God wants New Orleans rebuilt as a "Chocolate City"? ANY WHITE POLITICIAN WOULD NEVER HAVE RECOVERED FROM A STATEMENT LIKE THAT. But what happens with a black politician? They re-elect him.
If Chicago's Mayor Daley ever said he wanted Chicago rebuilt as a Lilly White city, he'd have to flee the country afterwards.
So, perhaps you should phrase future posts with the term, Hypocritical Racists, or practicioners of selective racism.

expect all the democrats to have their own private militias by the end of the campaigns...i say hillary will try and sign up osama because that will confuse the dem voters...while obama will have to settle for sadr....maybe we can put them both on some desert island with their troops and let em fight it out on national tv, with cameras at every angle, instant replays, and no refs.....

People will say that he was commenting on the electorate, not Obama.
So maybe his apology was to the American voter?
We'll all have to make up our own minds.

Link? You do know how don't you? Highlight the URL, right click and select copy, then when you write the question place the selection tool where you want it, right click again and select paste. Even a moron could do it.
Just trying to be helpful, it isn't my responsibility to chase it down.
