DENVER -- A black Hillary Clinton delegate on Sunday accused state Senate President Emil Jones of calling her an "Uncle Tom."
Jones -- Barack Obama's political mentor -- denied using the racially loaded slur against Chicago political consultant Delmarie Cobb, but two aldermen who said they witnessed the Saturday night exchange back up Cobb's account.
"Last night, I was called an 'Uncle Tom' by Emil Jones in the lobby of the hotel, right in front of [Ald.] Freddrenna Lyle and [Ald.] Leslie Hairston and [Ald.] Latasha Thomas," said Cobb, a member of Clinton's Illinois Steering Committee. "I walked over to him and asked him, 'What did you just call me?' "
The embarrassing flap came on the eve of the Democratic National Convention, which will open tonight with a string of Chicago speakers talking about Obama's life story. Jones is often referred to as Obama's "political godfather.''

I wonder if the speakers will mention Frank Marshall Davis, or whatever that commie’s name is.
The best way to learn who Barack Obama really is is by seeing who he associated with in Chicago.
Wright, Rezko, Ayers, Emil Jones, Father Pfleger.
Joe Biden as Simon Legree...

Oh - I see. When a Democrat says it, the phrase is a 'racially loaded slur'........
Not racist, just racially loaded.
Barack Obama does not wear well. In fact his poll numbers went up last week after he had gone on an extended vacation.
I think you will see Obama Fatigue kick in again pretty soon.
Good going Dems, keep it up. Tick off as many Clinton supporters as possible. They’ll end up driving millions to the GOP camp, or at least towards not voting for Obama.
NOW is calling for his resignation.
I wish I liked popcorn.
Run, Eliza Run ... Run from Simon of Legree!
Just another comedic preview of a NObomba Administration . . .LOL
Hey, Barack, forget politics. Train to be a firefighter. ROFL

What?! You mean she’s butch, too??
Wouldn’t the female equivalent of Uncle Tom be Aunt Thomasina, or something like that?
I’m disappointed she didn’t punch him in his fat mouth.
I actually did that musical when I was in high school, and have all the songs memorized.
