Now she has BET founder and Clinton supporter Bob Johnson going after Obama now.
Methinks many African Americans will be sitting out the general election if she and her minions keep this up.
The Clinton's have been blowing this dog whistle loud and clear all month - obviously an attempt to force Obama's hand to "play the race card".
Then Donna Brazile and James Clyburn ring the alarm and the MSM comes sniffing around, the Obama campaign finally issues a response - to South Carolina voters, not the press.

Those of us who have been paying attention all along KNOW that the original alarm bells were sounded in the Black blogosphere and on Black radio. Then Brazile and Clyburn spoke up, the MSM got wind of it and Obama's camp finally touches on it.
No matter what he does, Obama will be accused of "playing the race card" if he or his campaign answers any of these, but I say so be it.
There was a conversation about this at the time, at the mydd cesspit, which went as those sorts of things usually go.
Hillary Clinton has blamed Barack Obama for instigating the MLK controversy.
(h/t Prometheus 6)
This is not true. The story aired on January 7, 2008. The Politico reported on the story that day before it aired. The comments section of that post was full of people who were offended by the comments. That evening Clinton was already trying to clean up the mess she had made.
There was absolutely no statement from Barack Obama or the Obama campaign on the issue amidst all of that.
(if you're riding hard for Obama like y'all are, anything could meet the criteria for'wack'.)
Please advise!
Thanks,
Carmen D
Her campaign is down right outrageous. It's manipulative, wrong and disgusting. I will be chairing my local Democrats for McCain committee if she gets the nomination. Say what you want about his views, he wouldn't use these kind of tactics to win.
Also of note: versus McCain:
McCain 49
Clinton 37
(18% of Democrats backing McCain; 7% undecided)
McCain 46
Obama 43
Tell me again, who is more electable? If the Democratic Party wants to find a way to yet again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, it'll nominate Clinton.
Creating a story and then blaming your opponent for it is what Bush does. That is a disqualification for the office of President.
The good news, she has so irritated unions in Nevada, where they make up 50% of the caucus, that she may lose a state she had a twenty point lead in a month ago.
Clinton knows she can't win. An honorable politician would've run to the end, realizing that they couldn't do anything about it. The dishonorable Clintons decided that they were bigger than the party--of course we knew this when DOMA, welfare reform, NAFTA, the Iraq War, etc, happened--and so they decided to take the rest of the party down with them.
Bill is obsessed with his legacy. He's a fool to not see that any good legacy that he may have despite impeachment is tied up in a President Obama. Instead, he'll be remembered as a narcissistic fool that ruined his own party and cemented divisions through misguided attacks unbecoming of a former President in support of his wife's campaign. His choice. I'll say it now, there have been 43 Presidents. Clinton was the should be ranked 41st, Bush should be ranked 42nd, and Buchanan should be ranked 43rd. However, there's still a chance to go down as the worst in history if this BS keeps up.
Knock it off now. And you want to know what the Republicans are going if it's Clinton/Bayh: put JC Watts on the ticket, and proceed to realign the country in their favor. Good for them.
What exactly has Johnson done to uplift the black community? Sure he created a few millionaires along the way to his billion dollar payday. The damage he wrought with the hateful music that was included along with other good hip hop music - did as much to interfere with the progress of black youth that any republican college tuition cutback ever did. And to even hint at Obama's drug use, a mistake he acknowledged versus insulting our intelligence as a previous political rockstar has, is pretty darn bold coming from Johnson. Maybe we should ask Obama what he was "listening" to and "watching" while he was doing whatever he was doing in the neighborhoods.
I never respected Johnson before, and think far less of him now. Does he care how I feel - no - he has never shown a flip about what the black community felt - just what we were willing to buy from him and his cronies.
@carmen. email me direct (baratunde at baratunde dot com) or find me on IM so we can sort out your problems. Feel free to use one of the empty templates I left open <a href="mailto:though.
@g.d">though.
@g.d.
while I support Obama, this site does not officially do so. two of us are strongly for. one leans strongly and one is undecided.
I really wanted the tracker to grab what people think is illegitimate and especially what they think is racially motivated in some way.
If Hillary says Obama's health care plan isn't as good as hers, I don't consider that an "attack"
If Bill refers to Obama as a "kid" that is an attack.
Clearly what Bob Johnson did today qualifies.
Here is the link.
Part of HRCs vicious and racist comments include Obama being 'lazy' and all talk.
So, this is handy info to have.
Sagereader at Think on These Things has a complete list of Obama's record in the Illinois senate as well.

I will say this.
I am white and am appalled by the Clintons and their surrogates.
She is trying to divide white vs Black and more.
This woman needs to be stopped and she needs to not get the nomination.
I will never vote for her.
Barack Obama is my senator and I am a big supporter of his. He does not deserve his reputation being swiftboated like this and especially from a fellow democrat.
I never trusted the Clintons and I cannot see how people are excusing this behavior by them.
I have to admit: up until January 3 I like and respect all of the Democratic candidates, including Clinton. But, once she (and Bill) lost in Iowa we were all reminded of the real Clintons: win at all costs and the truth, and decency, be damned.
If Hillary is the Democratic nominee, I'll take at look at McCain if the Republicans pick him. I'll take an even closer look at Bloomberg if he hops in the race. But, I am definitely ABC: Anybody But Clinton.
I don't watch BET, and I wish there was a way I could get that garbage network off my satellite service. BET was a once promising idea that has been run into the gutter by people looking to make a fast dollar at any cost.
I'd vote for Clinton before I voted for any Republiklan.

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/ask-marian-wright-edleman-to-support-barack-obama
Petition short version:
We the under signed ask Marian Wright Edleman to show
her support for Barack Obama for president 2008. We
also would appreciate Marian explaining why her
husband resigned from Bill clintons cabinet and why on
July 24th when Marian Spoke to Amy Goodman at
democracynow.org she didn't eleborate further in her
views of Hillary Clinton who proclaims to be the
candidate for childrens right.
The following are a few articles explaining in some
detail as to the clintons dealings with regards to
Marian Wright Edleman. (note: these articles can be
found at the petition site by clicking petition
overview under Marians picture)
PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY ASAP
Danielle Clarke
""Hillary Co-Ops Marians organization as if Marian is
endorsing her""
NOTE: The link to Hillary's site is below.
http://hillaryclinton.com/issues/family/
Go to hillaryclinton.com. Click 'HILLARY" tab at top
of page and select "Hillary's Story". Then on the
right of the page under "HILLARY ON THE ISSUES" click
"Supporting Parents and Caring for Children". In the
second paragraph read..."From her first job out of law
school at the Children's Defense Fund..."
Hillary is effectively associating herself with the
CDF without seeking actually saying she is and without
saying why Marian the individual citizen, her mentor
at CDF is not supporting her for the nomination. This
mention of the CDF by Hillary in this fashion does not
give the correct impression. Namely, that neither
Marian nor her husband, who resigned the Clinton
Administration in PROTEST, are at odds with the
Clinton's in a most serious way. What is the nature
of that disagreement when the Clinton's are giving the
impression that all is well with her relationship with
the CDF. This is SO a typically Clinton (not quite
honest) maneuver. Marian has a Christian and
Citizenship duty to correct that false impression. To
share the truth with the Democrats and the American
people BEFORE they nominate another Clinton to the
important job of President of the United States at
this critical point in our Nation's history.

peace, Villager
1) Hillary should be fighting her own battles, not hiding behind her husband
2) There's a huge different between attacking someone's political agenda (policies and plans) and race-baiting.
