Bill Clinton as president being comforted by Reverend Wright
In the aftermath of the Pennsylvania Democratic primary — a race in which Senator Hillary Clinton had a 20-point lead only a few months ago — the racism and hypocrisy of the Clinton campaign was laid bare for all a nation to scorn.
Desperate and willing to do anything to win, the Clintons resorted to a naked form of racism aimed directly at white working-class voters in the rural portions of the state. Their message: Barack Obama cannot win because he’s black.
In the early stages of the campaign, it was Clinton’s cadre who kept playing the race card. In New Hampshire, Clinton’s co-chair, Billy Shaheen, accused Obama of being a drug dealer; then there was the photograph of Sen. Barack Obama in Somalian garb leaked to the press by Clinton’s staff.
In the aftermath of the South Carolina primary, former President Bill Clinton compared Obama’s victory to those of Jesse Jackson in 1984 and 1988. His message was clear: Obama was a marginal, black candidate.
Then came the disgraceful remarks of Geraldine Ferraro, who could not, and would not, shut her mouth. “If Obama was a white man,” she charged, “he would not be in this position." And she was adamant and unapologetic amid the resulting outcry. "Every time that campaign is upset about something, they call it racist,” she proclaimed. “I will not be discriminated against because I'm white."
Say what?
The Clintons refused to publicly call for Ferraro’s resignation. Ferraro remained unrepentant when she finally did resign. “The Obama campaign is attacking me to hurt you,” she bitterly wrote Hillary. And she never apologized for her remarks.

Excerpt
To anyone who has followed the Clinton campaign closely, it is all too apparent that her top political strategists — reeling from losses from coast to coast and badly miscalculating the grassroots power of the Obama movement — made a tactical decision to go negative, as that would be the only way for Clinton to stop Obama and somehow allow her to steal the nomination.
And go negative they did — with a subtle yet consistent racism underscoring every turn. The now notorious red-phone-at-3:00-a.m. television ad used by Clinton during the Texas primary, as Harvard sociologist Orlando Patterson noted in the New York Times, was reminiscent of D. W. Griffith’s racist film Birth of a Nation, which helped revive the Ku Klux Klan.
Excerpt
Clinton is an inveterate liar — I am sorry, there is truly no other word for it — and as her ill-fated presidential campaign tumbles toward its inevitable demise, the personal deception that is at the core of her personality, and of her career, continues to reveal itself.

That's not 'racism". That's just showing doubt that Obama is upfront and honest when he says he's a Christian, and never was Muslim (which really has nothing to do with "race" it's religion) But then, any attack on Obama's character and honesty is "racist", just as whites NOT voting for Obama is "racist" although blacks not voting for Hillary isn't racist.
She isn’t racist any more than the entire black community on the whole. The black community is, right or wrong, excessively ethnocentric and longing to dislodge whites from any and all positions of authority so they can engage in a freeform machete fight like the do in the homeland(s).
I think the Clintons are genuninely open minded with regard to race, but they are not going to just bend over and take it from every black person looking to compete with them.
Is that what racism now is? If a white so much as disagrees with or competes with a black person for a position, she’s a racist?
The Clintons made good use of black self-importance to get votes.
They used it to dislodge other whites who weren’t as good at playing the game of ass-kissing.
Now they themselves will be dislodged by the black vote in favor of an actual black person. They’re just stupid for thinking that their previous catering to blacks would stand in the face of an actual black candidate (unless Bill somehow went Soul Man).
Blacks are first and foremost, by their own choice, their skin color. It’s their main sense of identity. Whites have had any such identity beaten out of them over the last 40 years. Thus, catering to other people’s racism (and attacking whites on behalf of minorities) is the only avenue whites have, and the Clintons wrote the book on how to do this.
That's unprecedented especially taking in consideration that it was from a group that only a scant few months ago had been one of her core constituencies.
While both Hitlery and Osamabama are utter losers, Hitlery has as advantage that might push her over the top in November, namely, control or near-control of the Xlintoon corruption machine. Osamabama doesn't have a hope of getting control of it nationwide, other than fractionally in areas where his supporters reign.
Osamabama is the single most beatable candidate in American history who has ever come so close to being his party's (cough, choke) nominee. He literally cannot win a national election, even with considerable amounts of fraud.
If Limbaugh were the political analyst he considers himself to be, he would have realised this fact long since, and directed Operation Chaos to support Osamabama.
Was it the ol' toe-sucker, fat Dickie Morris, who said recently that Osamabama would lose 47 states? For once, Morris has a clue. An Osamabama nomination would make Du-du-ka-ka in 1988 look like a powerhouse candidate.
Ferraro remained unrepentant when she finally did resign. “The Obama campaign is attacking me to hurt you,” she bitterly wrote Hillaryas she sat in church, clinging to her guns.

>and never was Muslim<
did Obama really say that?
Better Hillary close to the POTUS than Oh empty suit Ama.
We dont listen to Rush or anyone else.
We will vote Hillary Clinton in our Primary.
Any THING to keep that damn empty suit away from the POTUS run.
I have to say after being a mole in the OBAMA rallies and Clinton Rallies ....albeit small gatherings the Clintons have a great team and Obama’s folks were just like minds stuck on extasy mantras...
Our family will work to get Hillary the D ticket..
We want Obama DOA.
Perhaps, but the only reason that Obama is now so beatable is the Wright and Bittergate episodes, which would’ve never happened had Rush not launched “Operation Chaos” to keep Hillary in the game.
Limbaugh has it entirely wrong with ''Operation Chaos''. The goal is to force the 'Rats to select the most beatable candidate.No, you have it entirely wrong.
Which was Hillary, now it's Obama, then it'll be Hillary, then..
There's no way to know what will happen in elections this far out. You don't know who will be more beatable in November. Hell, expert pols don't know. And no one knows what events will happen and what will matter to the electorate then, etc., etc..
What is known is the more your opponents fight each other, the weaker they become.
THIS is the strategy of Operation Chaos.
Especially when they may be going berserk over someone who’s not even technically “black”:

On the other hand, the abundant list of negatives contained in the article IMO gives a good preview of why Hillary can’t win....there’s too much baggage and she keeps adding more (Bosnia snipers). Seems to me that Hillary is just too disliked nationally to be a threat.
Obama, whose baggage has not reached fruition yet, is the best con man since Bill Clinton, but his giddy fans can’t, or haven’t, seen that “dark side” (PI) yet. I wonder if he’d be ahead if the “Wright stuff” (PI again!)had come out before the primaries had gotten underway?
Gotta wonder what will be the reaction when the Clintons undermine Obama’s general election campaign, which they are surely going to do.
The commie-licking “citizens of the world” running both parties have some problems with realities leading to our near future. I will be most sure to avoid voting for any presidential candidate, if you manage to get your man-hating, family-hating, free-traitor shrew nominated to scare Americans. Show us a candidate who will work more for the USA (and for allies like Israel) than the evil foreign nation$ deare$t to their most influential and anti-American constituents, and I might see a reason to participate in and respect your politics.
I’ve never in my life seen such a filthy campaign devised to fool an American public perceived by its elite as a class of retards. You (all who are politically inclined) should have helped to nominate Duncan Hunter.
