Los Angeles -- Former President Bill Clinton, speaking at an African American church where Democrats have found comfort in the past, made his most forceful public indictment of the California recall Sunday, calling it a Republican power grab that goes beyond just the career of Gov. Gray Davis.
With his familiar raspy voice and a Southern twang made a little more prominent as he addressed parishioners, Clinton said the recall election is threatening to turn California into a laughingstock and a carnival.
Later, he told reporters the campaign to oust Davis isn't a right-wing "conspiracy" but an out-in-the-open attempt to "shred the Constitution."
"Yeah, Gray Davis and I have been friends for a long time and I don't want this to happen to him, but this is way bigger than him," Clinton said. "He's been elected governor twice. He's had a wonderful life. He's going to be just fine. It's you I'm worried about. It's California I'm worried about. I don't want you to become a laughingstock, a carnival or the beginning of a circus in America where we just throw people out as soon as they make a tough decision."
Clinton then paused and said: "Don't do this. Don't do this."

Where is the ACLU on this event?
Where is Barry Lynn fighting and 'united' against this type of 'spearation of church and state' issue?
Does this church, The First AME in Los Angeles, still have its 'non-profit tax exempt' status with the state and the nation? Maybe it should be removed. Oops, I'm sorry, Bill Lockyer was present Sunday, endorsing this event as a 'political/spiritual' gathering!
According to Gray Davis..."Jesus is against the recall" and Republican's are immoral and evil. Has anyone asked the Democrats about 'tolerance' lately?
Yo, Gray, did Jesus happen to say anything about sucking the brains out of babies moments before they are born? Anything about teaching 5 year olds what a spiritually fulfilling lifestyle homosexuality is?
You've taken "excerpted" to a new low.
But you probably should get out more anyways.
You didn't even bother to provide an excerpt of the article........simply your own comments.
Your post has now been changed to include an excerpt.
Why did you elect to "excerpt" (I use the term loosely) this article anyway?
Is that Jee-zus or Hay-zooce? (If Jesus was spozed to be Jewish, how come he got an Hispanic name?)
See the history link for this thread at the top.
I'd like to hear what these women have to tell us about Clintoon's Power Grabs.
The gospel according to Hay-zoos. Yeah, maaaaaan! Joo got to love this Gray Davis guy, maaaaaan. He rides around in one of those Chebby SUBs with the chrome rims and the tinted windshields. But, maaaaaan with those tinted windows joo can't see the fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror, maaaaan. And joo can't see the little doggy in the back window with the little head bobbing up and down and up and down....
Off with his head! He's a witch!
