Hillary to Obama: You're No JFK (or MLK)
ABC blogs ^ | Jan 7, 08 | ABC news blogs

""Today Senator Obama used President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to criticize me," she said, according to ABC News' Eloise Harper. "Basically he compared himself to two of our greatest heroes saying, 'Well, they gave great speeches.' President Kennedy was in the Congress for 14 years. He was a war hero. He was a man of great accomplishments and readiness to be president. Dr Martin Luther King Jr. led a movement. He was gassed, he was beaten, he was jailed. And he gave a speech..."

Hillary is working really hard to anger the loyal black Dem base. Excellent.

She fell asleep with her hole-digger on autopilot.

I would like to read the rest, since Hillary doesn’t seem to make sense, but your linky no worky.

Yep the last thing on earth she can afford to do . If she does win the nomination , she will have to put him on the ticket just to hold the base.

Not good , she won’t get to put a Redstate Dim on the ticket in that case .

Hillary is really in a bind. She can't truly go Medievel on Obama; if she does and gets the nomination, the blacks won't vote for her, and no Democrat can win without them.

But on the other hand, Obama is likely roadkill in the general election. Not because of race or religion, but because he's a product of the Chicago Democrat Machine. That's an instant turnoff in the Midwest outside of Chicago, and I'm sure someone (probably Hillary) is sitting on a load of dirt. No one connected to the Daley Machine is ever clean (just look at current Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich). And through Rahm Emmanuel, the Clintons have their own Daley connection.

What a mess!

Kennedy was a war hero. However, Kennedy won his presidential election because of the Daly machine in Illinois and the Johnson machine in Texas.

I don’t think her Thighness realizes what she’s saying. I think she’s gone all Britney.

Race trumps gender.

She can’t win in a mud slinging contest. Jesse Jackson is a pro-abortion supposed protestant minister who knocked up a subordinate, paid her with money donated to charity, denied paternity until DNA test. What does an African American Male have to do to be criticized by liberal culture?

As long as he avoids dog fights, he’s untouchable.

Well, Mrs. Hillary, isn’t it about time to open your rumored vaults of Obama’s sex scandal? I’ll be waiting.

DOVER, N.H. — As they barnstorm through New Hampshire, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and her husband are often introduced by supporters who once backed another candidate but converted to her cause.

Today, in Dover, Francine Torge, a former John Edwards supporter, said this while introducing Mrs. Clinton: “Some people compare one of the other candidates to John F. Kennedy. But he was assassinated. And Lyndon Baines Johnson was the one who actually” passed the civil rights legislation.

The comment, an apparent reference to Senator Barack Obama, is particularly striking given documented fears among blacks that Mr. Obama will be assassinated if elected.

Phil Singer, a Clinton spokesman said: “We were not aware that this person was going to make those comments and disapprove of them completely. They were totally inappropriate.”

Mrs. Clinton’s expression did not change noticeably when Ms. Torge made the comment.

-———— SNIP -——————The comments are priceless

Her Heinous can’t lay a glove on him. Everyone Democrat and Republican knows she’s a slime master and all slime will be attributed to this awful awful woman

Also it seems Barak has great appeal to white Democrat women. This cuts in the witch’s natural base

Race trumps gender.

White male trumps both.

Hillery has better ammunition should she dare use it. If you want to see it, browse through this link, and the linked references. You will be quite amazed about our dear Mr. Obama, who has family and close political support ties to Genocidal Kenyan Islamofascist Odinga:

JFK was a war hero by anbody’s standard, piloting a PT boat that was sunk.

Thanks - here is the whole quote:

“You know, today Senator Obama used President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to criticize me. He basically compared himself to our greatest heroes because they gave great speeches.

“President Kennedy was in Congress for 14 years. He was a war hero. He was a man of great accomplishments and readiness to be president. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led a movement. He was gassed. He was beaten. He was jailed. And he gave a speech that was one of the most beautifully, profoundly important speeches ever written in America, the “I have a dream” speech.

“And then he worked with President Johnson to get the civil rights laws passed, because the dream couldn’t be realized until finally it was legally permissible for people of all colors and backgrounds and races and ethnicities to be accepted as citizens.

“I’m running for president because I believe that there is not a contradiction between experience and change.

Jeezz, it sure took a long, twisted road to get to "experince and change."
