False pushback from the Clinton campaign itself

p.s. you have an extra period at the end of the URL (after .html) in the transcript link, which makes it broken when you click on it.

Jake Tapper — It’s rather silly of you to miss the most important “fact” on Bill Clinton’s comment, and it is that the Jesse Jackson – Barack Obama comparison/comment was made the “morning” of election day in South Carolina (Meeks said it was after they had breakfast).
This makes a lot of difference about the contextual meaning of BC’s statement.

I can only echo Joseph Welch’s comments which, in this instance, are directed to the Husband-Who-Will-Not-SHut-Up: “Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?”

Mary, vote for whoever you want, but Obama has plenty of detail and specifics to his proposals. Check out his website, or speak to somebody involved with the campaign.

Do we really need another 4 years of Bill Clinton (& Monica) in the White House? Maybe if Bill had spent more time focusing on terror after the first world trade center bombing instead of diddling Monica, the 2nd bombing may have been prevented. Furthermore, how stupid are we to listen to Hiliary’s pandering dribble. Say anything to get elected…Should Obama be debating Bill instead. He seems to be handling her dirty work…Bill will be the democratic version of Karl Rove & Dick Cheney, with Hiliary the puppet. If Hiliary gets the nomination, I wonder how many Democrats will vote Republican?

The Clintons alone are putting themselves out of the race. Obama has never been negative to them. When needed He straighten the record, but never played dirty at the Clintons.
It is obviously a big show to see Hillary unable to run on her own merit and when Bill has to come to help her, he just screw things up beyond the point of repair. Now she is doing her part in screwing things with her insistence in breaking her own commitment not to play in Florida.
I thought the race would go well past beyond Feb. 5th. but it seems that now we all know who is going to be the nominated and who will be in the White House a year from now: Barack Obama.

clinton company is sick and their supporteres are sick too. better motivate, inspire and get votes. dont play this rubbish race card please. this is the America of the 21isst century.go obama go. no need to worry about these dirty games.

Nicely played by Obama. In sc he played African american card asking for vote saying that an “African American is electable” and on the very election day says “racial stuff was created by media”. Means he wants to go to other states without playing the same card..Clintons have been tricked.Try scrutinizing Obama’s comments just 1-2 days before SC primary and just on the day of SC primary before blaming Clintons.People are not seeing through the same lense.

Regarding caribel’s post that people should support Clinton because the nation is too racist to elect an African American:
I am struck by how similar that saw — one being pushed by hordes of Hillary supporters — sounds to another time in America when so many supposedly, good, decent, and non-racist fought against desegregation. Their excuse wasn’t because they were racist themselves –oh, no, it was for any number of other reasons, all based around the unfortunate and pitiable racism of “those other” folks. It just isn’t the right time, yet, they incessantly argued.
This is the same canard that many of the Clinton forces have been pushing for months at the grassroots level. Barack Obama should not be supported, they argue, because he is African American, and well, tisk, tisk, everyone knows that that rules him out of certain opportunities in America.
This, from the people so supposedly progressive on social justice issues. this from a woman who said in her own autobiography that the person who had the biggest influence on her political philosophy and development was Martin Luther King, Jr. this from a President who owed every single successful campaign he waged, from Attorney General and Governor of Arkansas to two terms in the white House (Bill clinton has never received the majority of the white vote in any election he has been a candidate in).
I would simply refer caribel and his/her ilk to MLK’s seminal “Letter From the Birmingham Jail” a letter which was written not in response to the racist Bull Connor’s of the South, but to the supposedly liberal clergymen who attacked King and other civil rights demonstrators for having the temerity to assert that they should have the same basic rights and opportunities.

Who played that “race card” first?
Here’s Obama’s campaign co-chair, Jesse Jackson, Jr., early in January, talking about Hillary Clinton’s emotional moment:
“…there were tears that melted the Granite State. And those are tears that Mrs. Clinton cried on that day, clearly moved voters. She somehow connected with those voters.
But those tears also have to be analyzed. They have to be looked at very, very carefully in light of Katrina, in light of other things that Mrs. Clinton did not cry for, particularly as we head to South Carolina where 45% of African-Americans who participate in the Democratic contest, and they see real hope in Barack Obama.”

OK. Now can we discuss Rove/Griffin caging African-American voters in Florida. See Greg Palast BBC reports not picked up by US press. Dems should get over themselves and go after the real racial politics practiced by Rove, et.al.

I think it is very ironic that the same media that over looked the transgessions by the Clintons in the past, have chosen to finally focus on this very untruthful and scheming family.
