EXCERPT
Good-naturedly referencing his friend Andrew Young—who marched with King and is prominent in the film—early in his speech, Clinton told the sold-out crowd, “I saw Andy earlier today and I said, ‘Andy, I just watched Selma. Were you ever that thin?’ (eliciting thunderous laughter) and he said yes, he was, that they were dodging so many bullets in droves they all used to be thin.”
As he continued to speak, he got decidedly more serious. “If you haven’t yet, go see the movie Selma,” he insisted, “and you will see the enormous pressures imposed on the King family and friends.” Clinton made it clear, however, that it was King’s philosophy of a “beloved community” that Selma most affirmed for him. “I was reminded all over again when I was sitting through Selma,” he shared.
“You know it wasn’t like I didn’t live through it,” the 68-year-old Clinton confided, “and I swear [it was] just like it was the first time. And, when they went across the bridge the second time, I stood up and started cheering all by myself and I roared like it was a surprise. But I was just evidence to the fact that we all want to live in a beloved community. We all want to think that we can have a home. We all want to think we can do great things because we have a launching pad,” he preached.

Sired then abandoned a black boy...
Bet he was alone watching it ... pandering hypocrite.
…with his pants around his ankles.
last time he did that was when Monica did the cigar trick for him
I Stood Up and Started Cheering All By Myself’
Just like he spelled peace at Normandy beach with stones that weren’t their before what a phony.
Uh, Bill. You started standing up and cheering when Selena came on the screen in her bikini, not Selma.
I doubt Bubba saw it in his neighborhood theatre, probably had a private screening. Big deal he stood up and cheered, only if he was being observed.
Selma ... it was a lot like Yugoslavia. Just ask Hillary.
I would never see that propaganda piece. I’m sick of the false glorification.
Get on the scene.....like a sex machine.
Bill Clinton getting up and cheering reminds me too much of what he was doing all those times in the Oval Office. Remember the spoof on Rush where Bill said “Ah never told Miss Lewinsky to lie, not once. She was actually much more comfortable on her knees.”
Bill Clinton: "In our country during the '50s and '60s, black churches were burned to intimidate civil rights workers. I have vivid and painful memories of black churches being burned in my own state when I was a child."
if he’d been born 10 years sooner he’d have worn a sheet
bill must hate that he’s just a white guy.
Willie is still a freak and a creep. He had the DemocRAT voters wrapped around is crooked finger before they were elevated up to “low information voters”. He had them when they were fresh out of the primordial soup.
Bill our first “black President...is a Son of Selma...
LOL...he is sooooooo full of sh*t.
