Harry Smith: Did Bill Clinton Defraud African-Americans on Race?

Harry Smith won't be up on the platform with Ted Kennedy today endorsing Barack Obama. But he might be there in spirit, after having absolutely unloaded on Bill Clinton's on this morning's Early Show. The CBS anchor made the stunning suggestion that when it comes to matters racial, Bill Clinton may have perpetrated a fraud on African-Americans.

Smith's guest was "diversity expert" Joe Watson and you might have expected Watson [who FWIW impressed me favorably] to carry the anti-Bill ball. But ultimately it was Smith who offered the single most damning suggestion. The CBS host began by playing the clip of Bill's by-now infamous words from the weekend, writing off the Obama victory in South Carolina by pointing out that Jesse Jackson had won there twice in the 80s.

Just goes to show how stupid people like Harry Smith and the media are, and how far they’ll go to overlook a chosen candidate’s faults. They’re just gleeful that they have some sort of controversy.

But there is no doubt in my mind that Billary & Hussein Obama will be a team before this is over. If they agree to let Hussein run as POTUS, he’ll need more protection than the SS can give him.
