Ha!

[pogo101]

Just as Rush said, the comment isn’t racist; rather, the issue is, What if a Republican/conservative had said such a thing about Obama?

[infidel29]

Contrast this with what Trent Lott actually said...
Unbelievable.

Sharpton has to put down the bullhorn outside of Obama’s house and pay attention....this was a clear racial slur!!

She said that Barack Obama “hasn’t done the spadework necessary to be president.”

My incredulity at the thinly veiled racism running all through the Democrat party is only matched at the willingness of the slaves to remain on the inner city plantations, and also clearly exposes the base motives of the party leadership to use them as bought and paid for servant voters.

Geez Dave, Hillery is lapsing into that old Arkansas Chain gang vocabulary.

"Spade" work.

Man , how many feet does she have to put into her mouth?

I figure she would've run out of feet by now.

Obama just needs to work "Carpetbagger", "white trash", and "dumb broad" into some remark about her Thighness. Hmm I guess he could work "thighs" into the remark as well.

It could have been an accident of the Freudian slip variety — i.e. accidentally revealing an unconscious belief, thought or emotion. In other words, HRC accidentally told the truth about her subconscious racism.

If you said that on Free Republic, you’d be accused of a slur and given a timeout

SAY WHAT?

[Political Junkie Too]

She could have said, "Obama still has a tough row to hoe" and avoid the imagery of a "spade," even if she did mean shovel.

Hillary: “My fellow Democrats, dark days are ahead and it’s got us all spooked. My opponent has not done the spade work to become President. I admit Senator Obama has a dope style, but he’s merely mugging for the cameras. As my Uncle Tom used to say ‘You can’t just dance a jig and say ‘Ho ho ho I want to crack some Republican heads heads.’ Please don’t be niggardly with your campaign donations. I like Barack. I really do. But we have to slave away and pull this thing out.
