Former President Bill Clinton on Thursday faced down protesters angry at the impact his 1994 crime reforms have had on black Americans and defended the record of his wife, Hillary Clinton, who is relying on the support of black voters in her quest for the presidency.
The former president spent more than 10 minutes confronting the protesters at a campaign rally in Philadelphia for his wife over criticisms that the crime bill he approved while president led to a surge in the imprisonment of black people.
The Democratic race for the Nov. 8 election has become increasingly heated as Hillary Clinton, stung by a string of losses in state contests, has traded barbs with her rival for the party's nomination, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, over who is better prepared for the White House.

Clinton is a sick old man . I will enjoy his natural demise.
He actually was making a point.
A day late and a dollar short.
I saw this today, attributed to Mark Twain: I have never considered killing anyone, but I have read many an obituary with deep satisfaction. (From memory.)
I like this one. “ I would kill the bastard ,if it it wasn’t illegal”.
Actually it was Clarence Darrow who said that. It is often misattributed to Clemmens/Twain
Isn’t this the guy who was impeached and stripped of his liar/lawyer license for lying about defiling a Jew intern in the Oval Office?
In the White House?
And his demonic WIFE is going to get the marxist party nomination, no matter how many primaries she loses?
LOL
Maybe he should have tried a different tack. Something like this: “Well, we tried to get rid of your race by aborting all of you but since we could not do that, despite our best efforts, we did the next best thing. We put most of you in jail.”
He did good but I think it was staged. Everyone quieted down after his third or fourth shhhusssssh. Those Marxists never shut up. So I think. It was staged.
Sister Souljah moment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In United States politics, a Sister Souljah moment is a politician's public repudiation of an extremist person or group, statement, or position perceived to have some association with the politician or the politician's party.[1]
It has been described as "a key moment when the candidate takes what at least appears to be a bold stand against certain extremes in their party"[2] and as "a calculated denunciation of an extremist position or special interest group."[3] Such an act of repudiation is designed to signal to centrist voters that the politician is not beholden to traditional, and sometimes unpopular, interest groups associated with the party,[citation needed] although such a repudiation runs the risk of alienating some of the politician's allies and the party's base voters. The term is named after the hip hop artist Sister Souljah.[3] Origins
The term originated in the 1992 presidential candidacy of Bill Clinton.[3] In a Washington Post interview published on May 13, 1992, the hip-hop MC, author, and political activist Sister Souljah was quoted as saying (in response to the question regarding black-on-white violence in the 1992 Los Angeles riots):
Question: "Even the people themselves who were perpetrating that violence, did they think that was wise? Was that a wise reasoned action?" Souljah: "Yeah, it was wise. I mean, if black people kill black people every day, why not have a week and kill white people?... White people, this government and that mayor were well aware of the fact that black people were dying every day in Los Angeles under gang violence. So if you're a gang member and you would normally be killing somebody, why not kill a white person? Do you think that somebody thinks that white people are better, are above and beyond dying, when they would kill their own kind?"
— Quoted in David Mills (16 June 1992) "In Her Own Disputed Words; Transcript of Interview That Spawned Souljah's Story", The Washington Post[4]
Stop doing burglaries, selling large amounts of drugs, continuing to keep selling drugs after being convicted of prior selling drugs, stop murdering people, stop assaulting people, stop carjacking people, stop being all around menaces to society because you chose to piss away your time in school and made fun of and bullied those who did not.
One of my favorites of all time is from Groucho, leaving a party:
“I’ve had a lovely evening, but this wasn’t it.”
Ah ... our first black president.
