To the Hillary Supporters what about the racist comment Bill made?

Question

What about when he compared Obama's strong showing in South Carolina to that of Jesse Jackson in 1988? Here is one link on this? Please people don't make this a race thing because it can be flipped on the Clinton side also.

Answer 1

Bill Clinton whole family is Klu Klux Klan...but, not to worry they disavowed their 20 year membership because they are not, never were racist nor support any of those activities before an election. Now how would that stand on Hillary's resume?

Answer 2

First of all, let's set the record straight.  This is a political campaign, and you have history being made with the first female and first black being front runners in a major political party.  So, with all the rhetoric, understand that politics is politics.  As for my affiliation, I am an Obama supporter.  I voted for Bill Clinton when he became president, so I understand all that.  As for the other comments, for Rev Jeffery Wright, there's John Haggee, so get off that too.  Bottom line is this:  America has the chance to make a definite statement about how we will be perceived in the world.  The most influential nation in the world, being headed by a minority in this country.  THIS IS AMERICA, for once in it's 232 year history.  I'm not asking anyone to support any candidate, but make sure your voice is heard this year.

Answer 3

Bill and Hill will always deny that they injected racism into their campaign. The simple truth of it that they'll convince some folks that their lie is the truth.

That said I believe that blacks themselves will have to decide if the charge is true. There's a lot of material to look at. From Hillary's statement about Obama using race to foil her plans, to Bill's ludicrous statements (including saying Obama started it) to Hillary supporter Gov. Rendell in PA saying a black man couldn't get elected, to that pitiful behavior by Ferraro saying Obama was using race to beat up Hillary and etc...

The Clintons used race and they used it like a blunt club. They just proved what the GOP has said all along, that the Dem Party is a plantation.

Answer 4

Come on, he was just making a historical reference. The same way that Hillary was making a historical reference to June and RFK. Don't get mad at the Clintons because they know so many fascinating historical references.

Answer 5

What about the more direct racist comment Obama, his wife and his Pastor have made?  If these people were white they would definitely branded racist.  

I don't think it is racist to say that states with a high concentration of people of the same racial backgroung as Obama are more likely to vote for him.

Answer 6

HOW was that RACIST? THAT was JUST the TRUTH!

THIS IS WHY OBAMA will DESTROY AMERICA!

EVERYTHING HIS SUPPORTERS DISLIKE THEY CALL RACIST!

SHOULD WE FORGET OBAMAS OWN RACIST WORDS IN HIS BOOK? DREAMS OF MY FATHER?

HOW ABOUT THROWING HIS OWN GRANDMOTHER UNDER THE BUS?

HOW ABOUT REV WRIGHT?

HIS WIFE'S COMMENTS OVER AND OVER AND OVER>>>

HOW MUCH MORE AMERICA?
