Obama unfamiliar with Jones' alleged comment

August 25, 2008

Barack Obama said this afternoon that he was not familiar with allegations that his political mentor, state Senate President Emil Jones, called a Hillary Clinton delegate an 'Uncle Tom.' But Obama said the nation has no time for such racial divisions.

"We don't have time for that kind of stuff," Obama said at the Quad Cities Airport. "What we need to do is focus on unifying the party to win in November, and that's what I intend to do."

I’m about to max my popcorn budget.

Not ‘Uncle Tom’ - ‘Aunt Jemima’.

But that is just a quibble. Some pretty ugly emotions are coming to the surface.

At least the “N-word” was not flung. I suppose that speaks well of the decorum they now exercise.

FYI... NOW's Bonnie Grabenhofer's statement on female genital mutilation in Muslim countries

Ah, it is nice to see the left getting some of it’s race baiting tactics thrown back in their faces and by their own!!!

[billhilly]

More democrat outrage. My day is complete.

[DOGHEAD]

To the Liberal if someone is called an “Uncle Tom” it’s the worst thing in the world. It’s evil, it’s over the line!

But ripping an innocent life from the womb in order to kill it is O.K. with them.

Seems like his “not having time to deal with that stuff” is becoming a theme of his running for President.

Wow! The worst thing you can call a Democrat is ‘racist’. That is why they call us racists all the time.

If everything falls in correctly, this elections season will be the most entertaining ever with the DemocRATS falling apart. Mr. Obambi been Biden will need to pull a miracle out of his hat to unite the party; he is The One? isn’t he?

This just keeps getting better and better.

“That was a pretty horrible comment,” said Illinois NOW president Bonnie Grabenhofer,

Don't worry, Cupcake. The Anointed One will issue a reassuring statement saying that it's not the Emil Jones that he knows.

"...Clinton delegate Delmarie Cobb’s accusation that Jones directed the racially loaded slur at her."

Who knew that all one had to do in the Clinton camp was accuse a person in office of sexist impropriety and they would be expected to resign?

Do you suppose Bill knew of this rule

[SierraWasp]

Oh man... Things is gittin ugly... BIGTIME!!!

Could you PLEASE furnish us with more popcorn???

[tflabo]

called for Senate President Emil Jones’ resignation

It's kind of a moot point and hot air. Illinois State Senator Jones has already "retired" and in true Chicago Democrat fashion, passed his Senate seat on to his son.

[N. Theknow]

"That's not the Emil Jones I knew."

Hey, Emil. Say "HELLO" to Granny and the gang under the bus.
