I'll bet a ton of you thought it would be somebody from the Republican Party, FoxNews, Rush, Savage, O'Reilly, Hannity, Coulter, or Levin . Well, it's not any of them !! Nope. . . . It was the Democratic State Senator from South Carolina. . . . . . . . the one who Hillary likes so much, the one who's holding fundraisers for Hillary. .. . . later he apologized . And Hillary, trying to hold her base and money together, said 'I appreciate it' . Oh Really !! Since when can an Elected Official get away with a comment like that ?
Not a slip of the tongue on a single word.. . . no no no.. .that was a complete and defining thought .
So my question really is. . . . Do You Believe there's any other way to take that statement, other than the most glaringly obvious way to take it . . . . he's a racist who not only supports Hillary, and Hillary is sweeping this under the rug ?????

Strangely enough, or not so strange, is that this was published in a Yahoo News story yesterday(Titled .. Clinton, Obama Trade Barbs Over Donor) on another topic, and it was BURIED at the end of the original story !! And where is it today ?? Did your news network tell you about this ?

Zero 1 - You ignored the point . It's not about electability of a single party. ... . it's about RACISM being ACCEPTED by the Liberal Media and the Liberal People !!
You and I both know, damn well, that if a Republican had made that statement. . . . . .there'd be protests on the Whitehouse Lawn !!!!

Geez, I would've bet my paycheck it was you who said it. Are you sure they got the story right?

Regardless of whether it's rascist it's got a lot of truth to it. I've been active in politics for over 19 years and even attended my first convention when I was only 14 years old. If you believe that because someone makes a statement that you perceive as rascist that your assertion negates what they said then you have a lot to learn about politics as well as how to win elections.
The fact is, should the Democrats nominate Obama he will not only lose but the Demoncrats will lose across the board. Because I want that to happen I will not clarify as to the reasons why. So to all the Obama supporters out there...bring it on baby!

People think guys like Louis Farrakhan, Malcolm X and Marcus Garvey are racist because they are black men who speak passionately and sincerely about being black skinned on planet Earth and all the woes that befall those who bear that incidental fact. But hear this clearly: the colour of a man's skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes!
I pity Obama and all those marvellous black people who cannot just leave the folks who enslaved them all these years and come back home and have respect.
Cry not for Obama, cry not for Jesse Jackson. These guys insist on dining at a table not set for them and where they have no chair.
Shame on all these black people begging white folks to 'recognise' them as human being.
Poor souls, come back home, to Africa!

Hey-
I am black, and I sure as hell will not vote for Barak. I will also not cast a vote for Hillary just to make her the first woman President. We are all way too caught up in the political correctness of elected officials and diversity. The way the system is supposed to function is that these people REPRESENT the rest of us.
If Barak or Hillary tries to run then alot of people will just end up voting Republican. America is just not ready to elect a woman or a minority yet. We might say that we are on T.V., but in privacy we will vote for who we believe in.

Color will not be a factor. So many people hate hillary and the Republicans don't seem to have a powerful candidate.
Everyone hates war and everyone hates the illegal immigrant problem. The person who can fix these problems will get elected!!

i agree..the fact that Hillary accepted his support is going to be thrown in her face..I'm a democratic liberal and I must admit if a republican had said that Hillary would have called a news conference to condemn it !

Now there is hypocrisy at it's very best.
Didn't Trent Lott get hammered by the Dems for a similar type of remark?
Dems are hypocrites.
