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 hes black.
In the early stages of the campaign, it was Clintons cadre who kept playing the race card. In New Hampshire, Clintons 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 Clintons staff.
In the aftermath of the South Carolina primary, former President Bill Clinton compared Obamas 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 Ferraros 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.

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. *Bravo* !
Agree 100%. Inasmuch as I strongly disagree with Obama and his policies, I don't hate him. Impeaching Clinton was a major victory for Republicans and to see a large portion of us willing to escort him back to the White House makes no sense to me. I think McCain can win this thing against Obama with independents. If Hillary gets the nomination, her and her sleezy rehashed team made up of Bill's former advisors will chew McCain up and spit him out. Her and Bill in the White House with a Rat controlled house and senate is our worst nightmare.
You nailed it. He has supporters like Sam Nunn and Lee Hamilton and he is running his campaign based on bringing Washington together. He will be under pressure to make good where Hillary is...... well, Hillary
Yeah, We're beginning to detect a pattern.
“The hypocrisy is staggering.”
This line is the key one and amazing in its unintentional irony in light of the fact that hypocrisy is the common denominator of both campaigns and of the entire Democrat party.
All this is best exemplified by the “Reverend” Wright who is paler than many people who call themselves white but grows rich and fat by denouncing white people for all sorts of imaginary injustice. He must be denouncing at least seven out of eight of his own ancestors by the look of him.
I think you are right. Those who see Hitlery as the “easily beaten” Democrat are fantasizing that this will be an honest election. Some of us are aware that the name Clinton is synonymous with vote buying and corruption of all kinds.
In this black and white picture, if you did not know who the two men were, would you consider one black and one white or would you see two white men?
Blacks wont care over such technicalities. His dad was from Africa and had dark skin. That makes him black
