Said Bill Clinton today in Columbia, SC: "Jesse Jackson won South Carolina in '84 and '88. Jackson ran a good campaign. And Obama ran a good campaign here."

This was in response to a question about Obama saying it "took two people to beat him." Jackson had not been mentioned.

Boy, I can't understand why anyone would think the Clintons are running a race-baiting campaign to paint Obama as "the black candidate."

All a show my friends. Clinton and Obama are going to be on the ticket together, just you wait. MSM will eat this up...the first female/black ticket...what an historic event! Surely we must vote for this ticket or we’re sexist, racist, hate-mongering bigots!

[angkor]

In a way this is kind of sad....because with the temper tantrums and the grossly inappropriate public comments it looks as if some kind of senility is advancing upon him at an early age.

There’s something wrong with the man. Seriously.

[Conservatives_Unite]

I think this is great. Let him talk all he wants, and I hope he’s successful painting Obama as the “black candidate.” Hillary will still get their nomination, and it’s to our advantage to make her get it this way. Their race is shaping up the best way possible for the GOP. Plus, it’s fun to watch.

[tpanther]

Press: Does Hillary have a chance to win the nomination now that you’re wrecking her chances?

finger wagging Slick Willie: There’s a concerted effort by people like Rush Limbaugh to twist the facts and they’ve attacked me since day one! DAY ONE!

“Bill Clinton: Obama Is Just Like Jesse Jackson”

To the KKKlintons, all blacks are the same. I’m surprised he didn’t compare him to Willie Horton.

Or intelligent! ;-)

I used to think so, too, but I just don't see it anymore. There's too much bad blood now.

[Conservatives_Unite]

Clinton and Obama are going to be on the ticket together...

Never happen. No way will the witch go for that...she has too much pride (thankfully).

[Fox_Mulder77]

Cant wait to see how the media are going to continue to deny that the Clintons are playing the race card after this.

"May the flies of a thousand camels come to rest in their beers."

And may the sewers of Rangoon back up into their breakfast cereal.

Jackson......Jackson......a spiritual adviser to someone recently I recall.

[angkor]

>>>>Clinton and Obama are going to be on the ticket together,

I don’t think Obama’s in on that plan as yet.

What makes you believe that a man of Obama’s accomplishments would disgrace himself at the feet of Hitlery Clinton, and suffer under 4 years of the inevitable and relentless one-upsmanship by “First Husband” Slick Willie?

They won’t be on the ticket together, ever, unless Obama desires to throw his life and his accomplishments into the dumpster.

[lawnguy]

No kidding. Bubba isn’t even subtle about it now.

[Past Your Eyes]

"That’s it Bubba—keep running your ignorant, backwoods mouth."

How dare you insult us who live in the back woods by comparing that dibwad to us?

[Fox_Mulder77]

“How dare you insult us who live in the back woods by comparing that dibwad to us?”

ROTFL!!!

"They won’t be on the ticket together, ever, unless Obama desires to throw his life and his accomplishments into the dumpster."

I agree. The Grifters are radioactive at this point.

[Miss Behave]

LOL. ;-)

It was said somewhere that 15% to 20% of the heart-bypass patients get small stroke damages to the brain. It is a unavoidable result of such an procedure.

Obvoiusly, the docs don't talk about that.

[Grunthor]

Bill Clinton = George Wallace

That, my friend, is a racist comment. Dems for some reason can't get past race. They are still mired in the 1960s.
