COLUMBIA, South Carolina (CNN) – Hours after Democrat Hillary Clinton was sharply critical of rival Barack Obama in an interview on NBC's Meet The Press, the New York senator struck a different tone on his candidacy in a predominantly African-American church in South Carolina.

"Probably many of us thought we would never see the day when an African-American and a woman were competing for the presidency of the United States," Clinton said at the Northminster Presbyterian Church in Columbia. "I am so proud of my party I am so proud of my country and I am so proud of Sen. Barack Obama, because together we have presented our cases to the people."

"I am standing here, Senator Obama stands before you as a result of the generations of men and women who protested and picketed, faced dogs and tear gas," she continued. "Who were beaten and jailed who had night sticks crush their skulls. Some who lost their very lives. They risked their lives because they looked into the eyes of their children and saw the promise of a better future. We stand here today because of their sacrifice."

Clinton's comments followed her hour-long appearance on Meet The Press, in which she accused Obama's campaign of distorting remarks that she and her husband have made in recent days which touched off concerns among some African-American voters. Obama later rejected Clinton's complaints as "ludicrous."

"I am so proud of Obama,

Does she think she's his mommy?

[potlatch]

I saw the comments above. Thanks.

Thanks potlatch

He's so clean.

And articulate and bright, of course.

LOL. He's different from the other ones.

[Lijahsbubbe]

LOL, she did everything but pat him on the head and say how cute his children were.

I wonder if we have any pictures of her high-fiving little Black children, like her racist hubby does.

There ought to be a Clinton Lie Clock in Times Square where people can watch the numbers whip by.

Hahahaha. This thread is a CLASSIC!

My FRiends, please notice two things about Hillary's statement.

Thing 1. Paranoid psycopathy. "They" are always out to get Hillary. This is her sick, sickie, sicko view of us and our country. And,

Thing 2. Hillary thanks...generations of men and women who protested and picketed, faced dogs and tear gas... and NOT the men and women in uniform who fought REAL bad people, and faced non-imaginary hardships, and non-trivial risks.

This, my FRiends, is yet another key to sick and twisted thoughts of Hillary the psycopath.

What patronizing BS. They keep piling insult upon insult. Hillary Clinton the privileged white girl who has had smooth sailing her entire life, showing off Obama like a pet doing a trick. How can any Black American swallow this, at this late date?

With Chelsea out there flapping her Hubbel lips now they’ll need separate counters for each Clintoon. ;^O

“They risked their lives because they looked into the eyes of their children and saw the promise of a better future. We stand here today because of their sacrifice.”

Yes indeed Hillary, and this may be said again someday, when our country has purged itself of disgusting traitors such as you.

Hillary Clinton: 'I am so proud of Obama'

That is so gosh darn sweet and touching, I just may cry!

[Tarpon]

She obviously thinks he needs to step to the back of the bus, where blacks always are supposed to ride when it’s a Democrat bus. Just ask Sen Byrd.

[TigersEye]

Even in the limited context of domestic civil rights it is self-serving and psychotic. Perhaps I'm ignorant of history but I don't think protesters for women's suffrage ever went through the beatings and killings that blacks did in the '60s civil rights movement.

Bill and Hill are the living embodiment of Forrest Gump. Take any photo of a momentous historical event and you'll find their faces in it.

generations of men and women who protested and picketed, faced dogs and tear gas ... Who were beaten and jailed who had night sticks crush their skulls. Some who lost their very lives.

Of course, those were Democrats swinging those nightsticks. Shouldn't she be apologizing rather than taking credit?

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[picard]

Your link is nonsense. Saying that Democrats are racists is like saying that Nazis were Left wing, environmentally responsible, vegetarian, Socialists. (and we know that cannot be true. Berkley told me so.

Everybody knows that Republican conservatives and Christians are the root of all evil that has ever happened on Earth.

Obama later rejected Clinton's complaints as "ludicrous."

That's not ludicrous.

This is Ludicrous
