Hillary Clinton’s Disgraceful Campaign: Racism and Hypocrisy
Black Star News ^ | April 23, 2008 | Staff

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.

BTW, Obama's clueless supporters should have studied more history.


Feminism Is Why We Are So Delicate Pursuing the "Warm War" (MensNewsDaily)

by David R. Usher

Excerpt:
Shelby’s theory is wrong. The collapse of white moral authority is not the problem. The replacement of male authority with feminism is. To Steele’s credit — he was gazing in the general right direction – but missed the real target. In America, there is one place where white supremacy and radical feminism existed: The Ku Klux Klan.

The crucial relationship Shelby missed is this: post-modern feminism (which has clearly admitted to being a supremacist movement) is the living granddaughter of the Women’s Ku Klux Klan (WKKK), where second-wave feminism (as we know it today) was gestated and borne.

[...]

After the 19th amendment was passed, WKKK feminists no longer needed the Klan for political power, and turned their sights towards the use of sexual imagery to control white men too. In the 1920’s a congressional investigation found that a woman by the name of Elizabeth Tyler was running the KKK. She assumed control by making allegations of sexual improprieties against the Grand Dragon.

Hitlery has as advantage that might push her over the top in November

Hillary's loss of the nomination would be an advantage for McCain; her voters, should she not win the nomination, are more than likely to vote for McCain, whereas Obama's supporters are more likely to not vote at all. Polls show that Dem voters see little difference between the policies of the HC and McCain, and in reality, there isn't.

Rush's intent was never to get Hillary elected; the purpose is to weaken both candidates and the Democratic Party. Early on in the campaign, so much negative attention was focused on Hillary that Obama got a pass, and as a result he garnered all those delegates. Now he's being exposed as even further left, incompetent and unlikeable than HC, due not only to the efforts of Rush, but to the constant drumbeat of right talk radio and the internet. The dirt on Obama has been out there for a while, and now it's getting the attention it deserves, and it's a serious dilemma for the Dems.

You need to put down the extreme paranoia pipe when it comes to Hillary; yeah, the Clintons are power-hungry, immoral and will do anything to win, but after eight years the blinkered hatred is really getting old. She's actually garnered a grudging respect from some quarters for standing up against a fraud and a racist, while McCain comes out swinging -- against his own party. If McCain thinks he can beat Obama by virtue of holier-than-thou-ness and sanctimonious platitudes, he's in for rude surprise. Obama's people are just as ruthless as Clinton's. It took Hillary over a year to figure out how to best the media-darling Messiah, and McCain's far less adaptable than the Clinton machine.

Operation Chaos is all about changing the way both the Republican & Democrats Primaries are held.

In Texas, we were disenfranchised and did not participate in unofficial nomination of John MeCain.

That was done by MeCain Republicans in the NE and Democrats crossing over in most all the primary states to deny Conservatives anything other than its party's biggest RINO for our candidate.

A Rush is making that point every day with Operation Chaos.

You can bet your last dollar major changes are in store for this process in 4 yrs.

Well McCains camp must think Hillary will pull it out -—That is why he is pandering for the black vote -—He hopes the poed black voters will go his way

Either that or he is just trying to suck up to the MSM

The black community is, right or wrong, excessively ethnocentric....

Even to the extent of claiming as its members those with a mere 12% negroid blood.
The bare truth is that Barrack is no more black than he is white. He is neither and he is both. Note especially that he was raised in a white community by his natural white family.
Pointing to physical characteristics is lame and brutish. He has as many caucasian features as negroid.
If Obama were not a racist trying to portray himself as something he is not he probably could win the presidency by actually being what he claims to be, a healer and uniter.

Well done post.

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.

Succinctly put.

The dems have always been like little kids. Their primary will come down to “Well, we’ll just nominate no one”, or they’ll end up with a new candidate who won’t mind getting trounced in November.
Clinton, Obama, and the dem party have too much to lose to allow one to lose to the other.
Again I say there will be no convention in Denver.

Oh. This article was authored by Geoffrey Dunn. Geoffrey Dunn–Teaching Statement 2000-01:

I began to read the works of critical thinkers on the issue of education-Ivan Illich's Deschooling Society and Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed and Education For Critical Consciousness.

What he writes in this thread article:

In so doing, Clinton was echoing the views of rightwing conservative and white supremacist Sean Hannity. Talk about shameful.

The above of Geoffrey's concerning Sean Hannity is directly the result of Geoffrey's Ingestion of Freire's works.

Geoffrey thinks Harry Belafonte is tres kewl.

“If Obama were a white man, he wouldn’t be in this position”

Geraldine Ferraro spoke the only true words to come out of the Clinton campaign so far.

Must respectfully disagree. First, Osamabama, being the arrogant Marxist that he is, would undoubtedly find another way to implode. This has continually been a problem for self-styled ''orators'' in American politics.

Second, absolutely nothing, as yet, has been made of his four separate votes in favour of infanticide. That's infanticide -- the willful killing of live-born children -- not anything to do with abortion.

Geraldine Ferraro is correct. If a white man with Obama's thin resume ran for President, he'd be laughed out of the national contest. If anything, Obama has been privileged on account of his skin color. These days, if one is a minority, the culture tends to give them the benefit of the doubt even when it isn't deserved.

If Hillary win - which is extremely unlikely, then we will have eight more years of Clintons with Bill chasing interns, getting even with Juanita, and who knows what else. If Obama wins, he will barely last the four years and he does not have the base to do as much damage as the Clinton. Still, there is the Rev. Wright issue. McCain is too unstable, uninformed, creepy, and will assure that we'll have a one-party system. I could not vote for any of these three clown.
