If they keep this up they’ll create so much sympathy for Robama that they’ll lose 2 to 1 again in Texas and Ohio.

Take a hard look America at the Clinton machine. It is on full display here, and elsewhere.

Am I the only one that gets tired of hearing about Jackson, Sharpton and the rest of these mouthy people? Who are these guys? They are nobodys that have never worked a day in their lives and live off of the public. They do nothing but talk and stir things up.

It’s an unfair comparison too because Osama doesn’t speak doggerel nearly as well as Je$$e Jack$on.

Nor does Obama have the same gift of rhyme.

Wow! The Clinton people are dumb as dirt.

Apparently they didn’t see the backlash from the first go round.

Wow, the latest Clinton focus groups and polls must have told them that Obama and Jackson are both black, or something...

What they should’ve done is trotted out Andrew Young again to say that Bill Clinton has screwed more black women than Obama.

That didn’t work either...but at least it was entertaining.

Long-time Democratic National Committee member Harold Ickes

Ickes did this and I’m sure he had a good reason. He is one of Hillary’s old guard who is a card carrying a-hole. That said, he usually does stuff to gain an advantage for the Queen Bee. Let’s see what happens.

The racist bit might help them with lowbrow rust bucket dems in Ohio... Shame on the Clintons.

About the only thing alike with BO and JJ is that 50 years ago, you could find them at the same water fountain; believe me, Jackson wants Hillary, she’ll be easier to blackmail.

the clintin people just like the clintins have ALWAYS been dumb as dirt. They are just so into themselves and what they think everyone wants that they can’t see straight. Guess that’s what they get for haning around the clintins. By the wya, I noticed that old willie was asked what he thought about the photo going around and if I am not mistaken...he DECLINED TO COMMENT!?! Weak..just weak!!!
