Fired back angrily?
Imagine the different impressions people would get from seeing this clip on TV vs. reading that article. How ridiculous.
And what did ABC say about Bill Clinton's red faced rants? Did they describe them as angry? Of course not...
i have been afraid since Obama became a frontrunner that there would be an effort to paint him as the (ever frightening, oh my!) Angry Black Man. it's outrageous, because this clip, for anyone who watches it, makes it apparent he is being dogged by the media and is simply responding. quite gracefully, i might add.
the same thing happened when Clinton got choked up. she was far from weeping and wailing boo hoo crying, but you'd never know that listening to the various talking heads. unless you actually saw the clip, you'd think she lost it and was gnashing teeth, rending garments, weeping and wailing.
which is what i am prone to do these days looking at the obstacle course before us on the road to november. the democrats have so refined the art of screwing up, i just wonder if we can hold it together and win the oval office AS WE MUST in november, come hell or high water, or we will lose the courts at every level.
bush's primary damage has not been on the supreme court, though that's bad enough. but at every level of the court system he has installed right wing zealots who are, and will continue to, control what makes it to the supreme court.
kiss equal rights good. goodbye roe v. wade. check ya later civil rights. no luck in reviving habeus corpus. we will be well and truly fucked. we MUST have a democratic president.
I say it now--AND I'LL REPEAT AND DELIVER IN NOVEMBER--I will cut off my right arm before I vote for Hillary Clinton. Either I'll keep my free Black ass at home or pull the lever for Bloomberg if he gets in the race. But I have no intention of EVER allowing myself to be a slave to the Democratic Party again.
Its kind of like having a co-worker blatantly lie on you and having to go to your boss to clear your name. Yeah, you might clear your name, but you also give some credence to the lie by even discussing it.
This stuff has gotten me so angry that I can't even look at the Clintons without disdain.
I'm like nmp, I won't be voting for Hillary should she get the nomination. I've accepted that I'm going to have to keep my ass out of the shopping centers in light of the republican administration that we will undoubtedly have come November.
I feel more comfortable with my president being forthright and honest with his racism as is the case with most of the Republicans.
If Barack needs to align himself with Mr. Billionaire Bloomberg, then SO BE IT. I would rather see Barack be Bloomberg's VP. Can you see Bloomberg-Obama? I can (if those red-faced, red-necked crooks steal this).
Clinton/Obama? Sounds like Str8 Bullsh#t to me...I don't want Barack to be sullied by being in anyway associated with those selfish mutha-#@4kas who are willing to win at all cost...even if it means destroying the Democratic Party.

Hilarious. Bill Clinton falls asleep at MLK celebration
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/2008/01/clinton_gets_sleepy_at_mlk_day.php
CLINTON SAYS WE HAVE THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT BECAUSE LYNDON JOHNSON SIGNED IT.
GOLDWATER RAN A CAMPAIGN AGAINST JOHNSON...
SO WHY WAS SHE CAMPAIGNING FOR BARRY GOLDWATER WHO WAS AGAINST THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT???
BY THE WAY CHECK OUT BILL CLINTON'S RACIST POSTCARD HE SENT TO HIS GRANDMA IN 1966 DURING THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.

Apparently Barack's use of the word "y'all", combined with his admonishment that South Carolinians not fall for the Clinton "okey doke" was a little too ebonic.
It's not just the Clintons, folks. The white media have lost there damned minds, too.
As for VP, the only way he should take it is if Clinton pledges one-term before the ticket is announced. Otherwise it's not worth it. We saw what happened to Gore after he waited eight years, and saw them screwing up his chances...
For *O* to sign on with the Clintons would mean that he's willing to play the "same old games and expect a different result." It would be a complete contradiction of what he says he believes...to align with the Clintons would destroy his credibility.
Obama and Bloomberg met this fall. I am not sure how it would play out...Maybe Bloomberg would be willing to be a VP on an Obama/Bloomberg ticket...but if it were my $billion dollars...ha ha, I don't know...
Amen.
An Obama/Bloomberg Independent run might win. A tough, tough road, and one that ensures he'll never get another shot at the Presidency if he doesn't pull it off, but one that could work. Bloomberg might go for it if he got lots of say in the issues he's interested in.
I am upset with the status quo. I just wrote a letter to Sen. Kennedy of Mass. and I live in Kentucky. He might read my letter, and he might not. Besides that we all have to be active.
I am driving tomorrow from Kentucky to volunteer for Obama in Greenville, South Carolina.
I am doing this as a 58 yr old woman who knows that you have to act and not just complain. I have also donated as much as I can budget.
Do not give up. This contest is more than about Sen. Obama, this is about all of us freeing ourselves from the Clinton shackles and the supreme confidence that we can show the rest of the country that the Clintons are all about the status quo and all about their greediness for being treated like royalty.
We can do it......we will find a way.
If this were a pure blog for venting, I would really let loose with what I think (about the Clintons), but I don't want Jack, Jill, DNA or RikyRah to ban me from the comments section. I reserve my most profane, political thoughts for close friends and family.
So I contemplate..."What will I do if the Clintons steal this nomination by doing 'whatever' it takes to win?" Will I willingly line up behind the democratic nominee and be like, "All is fair in love and politics. Those Clintons are some tough cookies. Their the Masters (Massas) of the game."
I'm sorry folks, but politics is NOT a game. Politics is life and death. It's about the quality of all our lives. I'm fortunate--I don't have a subprime mortgage, I have health insurance, and I have a great education. Hillary promises the world...but all that she will be good for is UNITING THE REPUBLICANS...engaging in partisan warfare and REKINDLING old animosities..
When Barack says that Bill is "factually inaccurate," he's being nice. Let me make it plain, "The Clintons are LIARS." Pathelogical LIARS.
This country has SUFFERED THROUGH SEVEN YEARS OF LIES (935 LIES About Iraq+WMD Alone)...WHY IN THE HEEL WOULD WE WANT 4 MORE YEARS OF LIES?
The Clintons will have their legacy...They nearly devastated the party in 1994...now they are about to tear the whole dayum party asunder...what's stunning to me is that no one saw this coming...
Hope will always be killed if it's outgunned by amorality. Unless there's a miracle and Dems see Hillary Clinton for what she represents -- and rejects her -- then the Dems will get the nominee they deserve.
"I never heard a word of public complaint when Mr. Obama said Hillary was not truthful, no character, was poll-driven. He had more pollsters than she did," Bill Clinton said in a heated exchange with a CNN reporter. "When he put out a hit job on me at the same time he called her the senator from Punjab, I never said a word."
It was not clear what he meant by "hit job."
Yeah, so now Bill Clinton is calling Obama a gangster.
"Clinton said he personally witnessed Obama's union forces intimidating Nevada caucus-goers and said an Obama radio ad suggested how Democrats could keep votes from his wife."
"Bill Clinton said civil rights leaders Andrew Young and John Lewis have defended his wife. "They both said that Hillary was right and the people who attacked her were wrong and that she did not play the race card, but they did," he said. "Let him go get in an argument with them about it."
Yeah, these other black people said that Obama played the race card, so they are right. He needs to deal with THOSE black people and not confront Hillary for what she did. If THOSE black people say, I'm not racist, then I'm not.
Andrew Young also said that Bill was just as black as Barack and has probably went out with more black women than Barack.
Is that note "playing the race card?"
Andrew Young also said that Hillary Clinton "neutralized" the numerous women (Bill's ex-flings) ready to derail his campaign.
Is that not "playing the gender card?"
