Or have the Clintons started the politics of personal destruction earlier than they usually do in a campaign cycle?

If this comes to their attention at all via the media it will have be commented on in some way. If it doesn't become a well known clip, or isn't covered by the media it will fade away. But in all honesty I can't imagine what they would say about it.
I watched the whole thing, and this pastor is actually saying because Obama is half black that some of the black population jumps to him immediately for that reason and that reason alone, and that makes them racists. Is he wrong? If that's the only reason they are supporting him he is not wrong. But I think he's making too many assumptions. It's just as bad the other way around when there are white people who won't vote for Obama simply because he IS half black.
Racism still plagues our country, and in essence he is right for calling those people out for that reason. But he shouldn't assume that all black people who support Obama are doing so for just that reason. Just like as with white people, I believe most black people are far more intelligent than that.

Did Bush have the decency to stop the lies being told about John Kerry? No! Kerry has 2 Purple Hearts and a Silver Star, and all a deserter from the National guard could do was denigrate him! By allowing and condoning that, Bush cheapen both the Purple Heart and the Silver Star for EVERYONE who received one!
Do you know the mission of a river boat in Vietnam? It was to DRAW hostile fire so the enemy could be taken out! Bush would not have lasted 1 day before having to empty his pants! And if it had been Bush in the water, I would have let him stay there!

Pastor Manning is a joke and does not reflect any mainstream views of any race. He is just another get rich on tv evangelist trying to rake in the dollars from the weak minded. It wont work on anybody with half a brain.

It is highly doubtful that they will do this. And, it is inevitable that the black vote will be splintered and racial tensions will rise as Obama and Clinton vie for President. Hillary has a thick skin. Does Obama?
