Rush: Mrs. Clinton: Barack Obama Hasn't Done the Necessary "Spadework"

Mrs. Clinton: Barack Obama Hasn't Done the Necessary "Spadework" January 7, 2008

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Did you hear what Mrs. Clinton said on the Today show today with Matt Lauer? She said that Barack Obama "hasn't done the spadework necessary to be president." He "hasn't done the spadework necessary to be president," as though she has. Now, let's imagine, shall we, if Trent Lott or Mitt Romney or Ross Perot had said that Barack Obama "hasn't done the spadework necessary to be president." Nothing that happens in the Clinton campaign is coincidence, folks. Barack Obama hasn't done the "spadework"? Whew. Where is the Reverend Sharpton on this? By the way, big story: Reverend Sharpton is waiting on his time to endorse. He's waiting for commitments. That means he's probably waiting for money from one of these two camps.

Bill Clinton, over the weekend, in response to a question from somebody at one of his town hall meetings, "What's going on?" He blamed me. He blamed talk radio. He blamed me. He said that the reason Mrs. Clinton has such a rotten image is because people believe me, even me. He said, "People believe all these things there are people saying about her, it's like Rush Limbaugh. Even when Rush Limbaugh says it." Folks (laughter) it's me. In their minds, the reason Mrs. Clinton is in tough doo-doo right now is me, and they're right. You know, when you get down to brass tacks, they are right. But Mrs. Clinton, don't get out of the race. You can't quit! If you're worried about your legacy and going down as a big loser, a big quitter would be even worse. Please stay in this race and make it count for one and all, because the country needs me to be able to persuade you to hang in there and be tough.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Here's Mrs. Clinton's "spadework" line. Now, I guarantee you, if I had said this -- if Romney had said it; if anybody had said this -- about Obama, the fur would be flying.

HILLARY: When they say to themselves, "Okay. I have a choice between a truly inspirational speaker who has not done the kind of spadework with the sort of, uh, experience that, uhhh, another candidate has --

RUSH: Oh, ho-ho-ho! Folks, this is not coincidental. I guaran-damn-tee you. Look, this is the bunch that suppresses black people in the Democrat Party. From Maynard Jackson, to Carl McCall, to the Reverend Jackson, to Al Sharpton, these are the people that when the blacks get too "uppity," they get stomped down. "He hasn't done the spadework." He hasn't done the spadework.

"It’d be too blatant. ... Wouldn’t it??"

Well, you're right, but if it were Trent Lott there would be a cover story on next week's Time magazine exploring "race.... and the history of the democratic party". I like the Freudian slip theory. Malcolm X used to say what do liberals call a black doctor? N%$#er.

“Perhaps someone could show up at a Clinton rally with a spade and ask her if she can dig it!!!”

Somebody else can bring a hammer and sickle so she’ll know the rally is for her

When Blacks get too uppity in the Dim Party, they get told to get back on the Porch. She is telling the voters that America won’t nominate a Black.

Pray for W and Our Troops

Why do black folks have such an aversion to garden tool names?

I was just going to axe the same thing.

I also came across this book when I was researching the word and thought the same thing. So many parallels’s right down down to the substance on the woman's dress. I guess living through the Lewinsky scandal was her spadework that now entitles her to the presidency.

That Hillary would pull that word out of her ample ass is just freakish. I haven't heard the word "spadework" used since I learned it in grammar school.

There was a great Peanuts cartoon in yesterdays paper, I meant to scan it. The ‘bowling snowball’, lol.

Given the very slim odds that she would choose to use the word "spadework" in the context that she did, directed toward the person that she did, my long-held suspicions of her racism are now solidified and confirmed.

That it at this point it anything less, is about as likely as a market novice accruing $100,000 from $1,000 on a zero sum futures deal.

It takes a real ho like Hillary to call a spade a spade.

Tomorrow, when Hillary is called on this by Obama, she'll just look at him as though he has two heads and tell him that he's "just being niggardly" in the benefit of his doubt that she meant nothing racially in it.

Cankles will bug her conk-eye out in total disingenuous incredulity at the very nerve of such an accusation.

Everybody knows what those words mean now. She must feel her plantation is being bought out.

She could mean actual spadework like the Sopranos. For a Democrat, knowing where all of the bodies are buried is not just a figure of speech.

Wrong. She said Obama’s not working the Negroes hard enough. That’s what that codeword means. Obama better come back hard, or there will be more from her.

Then MSM would have gone ballistic. Even if Ann Coulter has said it, MSM would have covered it day after day, demanding that she be banned or something.
