Blacks Stung By Bill Clinton's Remarks

For nearly two decades, Yvette Wider, an African American, adored Bill Clinton, once described by a famous black novelist as the nation's first black president.

But now, after Clinton's "fairy tale" remark about Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) in New Hampshire and a statement in South Carolina that Obama had put a political "hit job" on him, Wider said she feels she hardly knows the former president. "I was surprised to hear him make a comment like that, because I thought he understood our people better," said Wider, who said she will vote for Obama in Saturday's South Carolina primary. "It made me think he's been playing us all this time."

Wider's sentiments are echoing across black America -- on blogs, Web chats and talk radio, where Clinton is being attacked as never before.

She will never pick Obama as her running mate.

Agree. She doesn't need to try hard to get a black VP on her ticket if she tries Colin Powell.

“It made me think he’s been playing us all this time.”

Clinton has been playing you (and the rest of the world for fools) from day one. You’re long overdue to wake up and smell the feces.

William Jefferson Clinton will go down in history as one of the most wicked, corrupt, self-serving Presidents America has had the terrible misfortune to endure. He should be on death row awaiting execution for the massive number of crimes he and his cronies have committed over the years.

Eventually he will be held accountable for his crimes, if not by a human judge, then he will by Almighty God.

If the clinton camp is expecting to claim victory if Obama doesn’t win big - if his popularity is contained primarily among blacks, that will taint her finish as well. After all, the democrat primary voters also are made up of some 50% women voters. If hillary’s popularity among women voters is similar to Obama’s among blacks, then her vote tallies are equally suspect

All of the Clinton's "so-called" friends get screwed in the end.

Nothing stupid about it. The moment they started playing this game of racial divide-and-conquer, Obama became the inevitable Veep. The reconciliation is the end-game.

Thanks for the repost. I forgot to make one comment on the earlier thread. I have one question for these people.

Why do democRAT politicians only show up in black churches during the months leading up to an election? HUMMMMMM?

You people would think that if the dims cared for you so much, they would be there all year. Better figure that out and quit supporting them year in and year out. You are being USED for their desire for power OVER you.

Ya think?

Found on July 20, 1993, dead of a gunshot wound to the mouth

When the mob thinks someone is going to talk or has talked to much they usually kill them by shooting them in the mouth and leave an untraceable gun as a message to any and all not to talk. So lets see one is raised in Hot Springs a well known mob playground and the other is raised in Al Capone's home turf. Naaaaa it's all coincidence.

What a nit-wit. If they had ever really listen to BJ Clinton, they would know he is as racist as they come.

When he talked so lovingly about how as a little boy he would sit on his Grandaddy’s counter at his store. He got his black credentials then he thinks, when he reminices about the Black SHARECROPPERS comming in to pay off their bill. I can’t go on “IT” makes me sick.

That’s going on a t-shirt.

"It made me think he's been playing us all this time."

Can I get a WELL, DUUUUUUHHH!!

[Ann Archy]

and they will STILL vote for Hillary because the Clintons hold the keys to the PLANTATION!

[cake_crumb]

I don’t understand HOW Bubba saying Obama’s candidacy is a fairy tail is “racist”. It’s too much like Hillary claiming to be intimidated by male rivals. BOTH sides are playing their single card to the HILT. AD NAUSEUM.

"..and Democrats who were the slave owners.."

And Democrats want to REMAIN slave owners.

Note to Blacks; Stray not from the Democrat Plantation, or ELSE!

[Mikey_1962]

Odd isn't it, that they do not realize that it was Republicans who freed the slaves, and Democrats who were the slave owners.

And... That the KKK was the armed Militia wing of the Democratic Party.

[AmericanMade1776]

Hillary’s candidacy is a “ shakespearean tragedy”

[cake_crumb]

"Its not only the Clinton that are playing you its the entire DEMOCRAT PARTY YOU IDJITS!!!"

Right. Until black Democrats realize that, they've realized nothing.

And herein lies the irony, Republicans were painted by the Clintons as racist, dividers, and bigots and those who bought the lie, are now the victim of the Clinton lies again, but with a new twist.

"Yvette baby, the Clintons like you the way they like their coffee: Black and contained and ready to throw away if you turn cold on them"

Oh, my goodness...just OUCH!

Do you still do the posting awards, snugs? I'd like to nominate this one.

[Fresh Wind]

Odd, isn’t it, that a former recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan continues to occupy a seat of power in the Senate and the Democrat party, and no one except conservatives seem to have a problem with that fact.
