Clinton-Backing Congressman Says Clinton Camp Pushed Racist Strategy
June 06, 2008 9:03 AM
Sens. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, and Barack Obama, D-NY, met last night at the home of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. -- who is a big supporter, it should be noted, of a joint ticket.
A joint statement came from Obama spox Bill Burton and Clinton spox Jay Carson saying: “Senator Clinton and Senator Obama met tonight and had a productive discussion about the important work that needs to be done to succeed in November.”
But threatening to steal some thunder from the rapprochement comes Rep. Rob Andrews, D-NJ -- fresh from his primary loss to Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-NJ -- who tells the Newark Star-Ledger that it may be tough for the party to unify behind Obama since the Clinton camp "has engaged in some very divisive tactics and rhetoric it should not have."
Before the April 22 Pennsylvania primary, Andrews says, a "high-ranking person" in the Clinton campaign "pushed a strategy of winning by exploiting tensions between Jews and African-Americans.
"There have been signals coming out of the Clinton campaign that have racial overtones that indeed disturb me," Andrews said. "Frankly, I had a private conversation with a high-ranking person in the campaign ... that used a racial line of argument that I found very disconcerting. It was extremely disconcerting given the rank of this person. It was very disturbing."
The Clinton campaign's response, from spox Phil Singer: "Comments like these, coming so soon after Congressman Andrews' crushing defeat, are sad and divisive."

Regardless of the controversy, DNC operatives, supportive of Mr. Obama, manage to find a way to blame Senator Clinton. By their rules, if 90% of the black voters support the Illinois Senator, that does not constitute racism. But, if one white voter supported Senator Clinton, that constituted racism. Given the fact that all the race bashing has been done by Obama's spiritual advisers, although the Illinois Senator was either sleeping or on a smoke break during these flame-throwing sermons, it is no wonder that the Obama Camps points fingers in every direction but themselves.

The first paragraph of this story should tell you something. If Feinstein supports a joint ticket you can say hello to President McCain or good bye to the Second Amendment.

Should Obama lose in the fall, it will be declared as a loss because of Racism..just as the entire campaign has been whenever someone does not vote for him.....

I dont trust any of them...they are ALL politicians, and lawyers..so that says it all!

It looks to me that Obama's supporters are working so hard to discredit Hillary for every divisiveness in this country. This show that Obama is not the uniter nor can he unite this country. He can't even unite his supporters to look beyond racist issues. Obama will promisse anything just to get elected. NO OBAMA

Thanks,

Obama is the one that has set America back 100 years with all HIS Race Issues. His Pastor - Anti-American, Radical, Racist - and yet another pastor at his "church" - obama is NOT qualified - he is too RADICAL and his background is far too questionable. He will NEVER be elected President of the USA - and will NOT win without the MILLIONS of Hillary supporters.

This is a big fat lie, and why does this story have so many legs? Why doesn't he say who this person in the Clinton campaign is if he is to be believed? He's a sore loser. The Obama campaign effectively used the racist victimization against Bill Clinton, who is NOT a racist...but it worked. Axelrod used Karl Rove's playbook and John McCain had better get ready for the smears from Obama.

Brammy; you are 110% correct on your post, but that leach will never be removed from our country.

I'm pretty sure that Andrews is just angling for a job on MSNBC

His story doesn't make sense. If the Clinton campaign was upset with him for praising Obama, why would they reveal to him some super-secret strategy for pitting blacks against Jews?
Sounds to me like he's bitter about losing his campaign, doesn't think the Clintons campaigned hard enough for him, and is trying to get revenge.

Those Jews who spew hate and lies about Obam't a on the internet cannot be of God because they disobey God's commandments!! If you have policy agreements with Obama, state them and don't vote for him. BUT, stop the lies. He is a Christian and not a Muslim. He does not hate Israel; he wants peace--a peace that will require sacrifice from BOTH Jews and Palestinians. Stop the lies. Only the truth will set you free!

Wait. Is this the same old stuff we have heard the whole time? Why must people bring up the possible negatives involved in the rumors and instead bring up the positives? Why see the glass as half empty? It's much more FULL than empty, to me.

It amazes me how some people can post over the 2,000 words. As a Jewish person, I can SAY WITH CERTAINTY I trust Obama with all my heart and soul. I believe he is a Godsend to our people.

Wild, I agree with you. Let's stomp out the rats in the tabloid media by telling them that we are on to them!

This article is a perfect example of how to divide the Democratic Party even further and in the process, help McCain in his quest for the presidency. I have felt all along that the media were trying to foment discard among the Democrats making it easier for McCain. It is time for Dem's to put down their swords. Obama has won the nomination...forget the rancor which will only bring defeat!
Posted by: Two-cats | Jun 6, 2008 11:34:33 PM
Christians & Muslims don't need to fight. All western countries including the United States of America protect Israel for this reason. Time for the truth!
The Truth
What do all of us! Of every nationality, race & culture have in common? We all are human; experience the same feelings & surroundings. The basic external fundamentals in life are three elements known as the third dimension. Fuel, Oxygen & Heat! All plant, animal & human life is made of this element. Also known as Fire. But all life forms internally are also 90% water! ( Spirit ). Spirit also contains three elements. Which are the sensations of Mind, Heart & Soul. (These are the six elements which are used to form the Star of David in the Jewish religion.)
Water can only occur on Earth as the further away you go from the sun it freezes & the closer you go it evaporates! The human spirit of mind & heart is true spirit while the human external has the same characteristics as fire which is the learning process for each individual. All living creatures will naturally experience negative aspects in life but the heart, mind & soul can overcome these hurdles like mankind has to Earth. This evolution is natural for mankind’s spirit like a child attending school.
Before trade & money, people worked hard as a group or pack to obtain basic food needs to live life. Why is this case? Because each individual pack of humans loved & supported each other when hunting for prey, an emotional interjoining pack that would die for each other in order to survive. The male would hunt food for the pack or tribe due to his superior physical stature while the female would comfort the family spiritually and attend to her children’s needs. This was the age of Man.
The age of man is currently operating under the strongest symbol of life which is pyramidal. Man continue to operate under a triangular or pyramidal operational system but on much broader world terms where World banks, Presidents & Prime ministers of Governments, Kings & Queens, Tribal elders & Chiefs control the general public where the bottom supports the top & the top support the bottom in direction. This is the age of man. The Armed services, Law enforcement & even all political & sporting teams all have a leader under this system. Now, we as humans are becoming increasing individual in our ethics and needs. This is what private business or enterprise brings to all people of all cultures. With the computer age we are approaching the age of women.
The information is set in stone at Egypt in the Pyramids! (Triangular shape with four sides representing North, East, South & West). This is why America & other nations protect Israel; their flag has the Star of David as this was the birthplace of such beliefs. The Jewish belief is that the Star of David represents mankind. A six pointed star with a triangle (pyramid) pointing upwards, (representing the age of man No 6, six derived from Fuel, Oxygen, Heat, Mind, Heart & Soul. 50% good & 50% bad, like the Ying & the Yang in Chinese culture) & a triangle pointed downwards (representing the age of women, No 9). The numbers of 6 & 9 means man mirrors women. Like our D.N.A or Genes. The triangle of the women upside down also represents her womb & rebirthing of energy! We are right at the cusp of these to energy’s meeting. The age of women is technology, ability to obtain the knowledge of D.N.A, cloning & electrical systems as well as having the ability to defeat the environment & reach space through the hard work and labour of all man over time. Men are currently beating this domain on earth of Fire by spiritually thinking of each other & a higher God, no matter what the race or religion.

Why do I mention the Jews! Well, numbers and language are information to the stars! Money & education produces production for all. Have people noticed that all first world countries language are predominately English, which is the most advanced alphabetic language. This has changed with the introduction of money to all other nations. We are all similar in our operations at this point. There are numerous secret organisations and legitimate ones which are not public knowledge which is a form of control like International banks, 322, Illuminati group elite 13 and certain lodges!
The distrubutation of the money should be fair for all people of all countries no matter what line of work they choose to take. I admit, the Management of any Bank, Country or business should receive more money, but just evenly distributed for the people in there area. For example, If a person was a employed as a cleaner or labourer, (And didn’t own the business!), they would be unable to financially support a wife and child while attempting to educate themselves for an improved working position and emotionally support his wife. He is working just like all of us! All citizens of their particular country should have shares invested in the country’s wealth in order to obtain assets for the working individual.
There are two main Laws when dealing with the logistics of Law, trade and money! Law of Land (which is each individual countries Law) & Law of the Sea. (Trade & shipping or boating routes). All world Banks operate under Law of the Sea! This enables them to ascertain own laws over land countries. Certain family’s which privately operated the BANKS of the river or sea of their country for trade became rich during thousands of years & had the fundamentals in place to commence banking organisations for the people of several countries. This enabled the Banks to form a physical domination of man using Law of the Sea, and in time demanded they achieve what was system was in front of them. This was the knowledge of numbers.
Today, Banks control the stability of the global economy to obtain control over each individual & eventually every country to achieve a one world economy which is based on money & money only. Every separate individual countries culture will change forever if this trend continues. All countries should keep their culture & religion as all countries are different. We can still treat individual countries like family. We as people will lose all respect for each other in order to obtain personal greed if all nations are combined for financial wealth without assisting the individuals on the bottom of the triangle. World Business (Private or Government) is established on exactly the same principle of pyramid or triangular operation.
All religions were formed 2000 years ago speaking of this Truth! Sun-worship is where humans obtained knowledge (Calender rotation of Sun around earth, Time). Firstly the Mayan calendar and then the Jewish calendar. Egyptians then to Rome. Reverse Live & you receive evil. The Christian bible even states that this is Satan's domain in Eden where the serpent dwells with Knowledge! (Earth). This is our external energy of fire.
3
Our internal energy of water or spirit requires discipline from our external surroundings in order learn efficiently. With the entrance of computers to our world, unfortunately, people will lose the ability to communicate face to face. We all must maintain our physical contact with each other in communication in order to save world society as we know it.
Christians also believe in the cup of Christ which is water as spirit or positive energy. The Sun is just a birth star for all people on Earth. We all have the same external characteristics as the Sun which is negative & destructive like fire but have the internal characteristics of Water which is positive energy & creative! Just like a battery as we all know! The Sun is the Son of God which is a young star compared to the others. (The others star consolations being God in energy). Earth is a birth star, like hot lava turns to cold rock the human spirit develops from body & soul when born to pure spirit at death.
This is why the Roman's used the cross to kill there criminals!! Too represent the positive water energy of the internal soul, while the external energy of fire is destructive, which is our external surroundings our internal spirit of water lives for life, love & communication of others. Why do we find it so hard to admit that the physical factors of life which are negative make a direct impact on our individual emotional state of minds?
The age of Man adapts to common sense or grounded earthly knowledge while the age of women adapts to starry energy or spiritual thinking. Womankind made the pyramids for mankind to reset! With use of laser cut equipment & technology. Mankind & Womankind are God! It's a natural evolution from one to the other! Man & Women are software while the Earth (Female) & Sun (Male) is our hardware. We are all zero point energy in learning! We all must physically experience bad circumstances mixed with our interpretation of good times spiritually to others, to appreciate & know the good within all of us to help others. Both Male & Female all need a physical & spiritual partner in life for support and direction in life emotionally. Being a parent & producing children is the direction of Mankind, All parents know this is there greatest gift. Unfortunately, money has distorted people’s values when dealing with family or friends.
We all must think of the different circumstances that each and everyone of us are in at any given time. It is in our nature to become competitive when speaking or doing something we believe in and receiving a negative comment for something we refuse to believe in. We must think positive. Man can’t be judgemental or jealous of any ones predicament, as this is a curse in itself.
Human kind has excelled to the point were all living things on earth are relying on us to change. We are currently doing an exceptional job in recycling man made materials like plastic & metals. The world wide population has realised that the greenhouse effect is true, with all the artificial chemicals & pollution currently in the atmosphere, due to our consumption of oil & fuel. Now is the time to slow down in what we are experiencing and take a step back. There are a number of alternative fuels which might not be as volatile as fuel, like electricity, but this could also run a vehicle equivalent distances.

The current culture in the western countries is that it is alright to become a gay or lesbian! This is not natural. This is an individual branch of thinking and idealist in every way. A man & man or women & women can love each other emotionally without physically touching the same sex for pleasures. This is a physical form of love which is currently being confused with spiritual ethics! (No Common Sense). A male’s direction in life is to have a family, protect the family, and provide love & wealth for the family. Obviously, a Females direction is similar, Women are stronger in there spiritual direction of the family, and are, closer to their offspring which is why they give birth! (But physically lack certain qualities of man.) With the entrance of same sex relationships to our society, it will confuse the younger generation of their direction in life. Same sex couples can practice what they want, but not force this belief onto children or society. This is why they should not be able to adopt or become artificial parents via artificial insemination. Don't get me wrong! They might love each other but children deserve the right to have a male & female figure in their life emotionally for the correct direction in life. In order to have same sex relationships, it needs to be accepted by every society world wide or their will be constant division. Love is what the child requires, same sex or Male Female, but again same sex relationships are not natural to a human being. Did we get to where we are today by same sex relationships. In the birth of children! I think that all people do have their own belief systems, and they deserve that. No matter what positive religion they believe in, but man is not God. We might think we are by what we have achieved but we have achieved this by believing in a higher presence other than ourselves. We must all respect & appreciate each other, no matter what skin colour or physical appearance. Sex can be used just to dominate. It's a tool of power over the other. This is why animals when young jump on another of the same sex as it doesn't know the consequences until the dominated one will fight back as it is not natural.
The human eye receives 75% of physical sensation! Heat, Fuel & oxygen are represented by ¾ of our three main elements of physical interaction. (Like our other 25% is a representation of our spiritual sensors. When we move on after life the sensations swap. 75% are spiritual with the other 25% what we experienced in life after learning. Our love & joy of all things multiply. If all nations & races conducted similar beliefs, respecting the spiritual beliefs of individuals, religions & country’s, all world conflict would not occur. This system would be a cubed or square! With an operational system with a number of personnel on a board of Governments, (instead of an individual leader) the organisation of any government would be harder for one person to manipulate. Including & especially the banking sectors. All men & women would operate under a 100% ability to understand others & equal in their standing of all citizens. The bottom would continue to support the top but on equal standards. A representation of four direct sensors. All man & women equal in life & learning.
We require Law in this world for the sole purpose of what would happen if this was not available. The external circumstances of life which are negative would overtake what each & every civilisation ever created. Law works for the benefit of every individual world wide.

I’m Australian! This is the first country in the world to adopt the Multicultural practice for business. This has caused defragmentation of our countries society. We have always been multicultural since the first fleet arrived in 1788. This was originally aboriginal land. We as a country did an excellent job recently in apologising to them for the land we took. I have noticed, other nationalities claiming that they can practice and say whatever they like as it is what they practice in their home country. This is understandable. Every country deserves there own identity & culture. Australia’s culture is every countries culture supported by money. Australians are traditional convicts from England. With the convicts being of all different nationalities. With the computer age, the time zone in Australia is the first to see a new day; this encourages major business to financially operate from these shores. This is why we are multicultural. We do appreciate other nationalities in this country; they have made an outstanding contribution to this country. It will take time for us to realise that we are all one people. We must respect each other at all times.
All people of all cultures should not indulge in any drug which is naturally grown or man made which deliberately alters someone’s state of mind. This takes away what respect they can offer other people while under the influence of the substance. Man made drugs for medication of a medical condition is alright, just as long as it is on a temporary basis or required to support the life of the individual.
We all need love and respect for each other! All cultures & religions. But the direction we are taking, (using money via International private business and not returning the wealth to the people of individual countries equally & fairly) we will all feel the extreme heat when the truth surfaces. Unfortunately, respect is not occurring in modern society due to the different views people hold. All people on earth will become selfish & individual in order to obtain money if this trend continues!
We are all Jewish now, but not when we pass! Man God will never reach the heights of God.
A skilful solider is not violent! An able fighter does not rage! A mighty conqueror does not give battle! A great commander is a humble man.

It is possible Rep. Andrews of NJ did not feel safe to speak up till Hillary is clearly defeated.
This is similar to those uncommitted superdelegates that did not endorse Obama till after the last primary. The power of the Clinton dynasty is so huge that some politicians did not want to have their political career killed short.
This drives home a question.
Should we extend the presidential term limit of two terms to include the immediate family members of the president?
Had we had this Constitutional Amendment, no family will have such an overpowering influence ever again. Then freedom of speech will shine again.
Electing any Clinton or Bush for a high office will stall American democracy.
Vote Democracy! Let's remember why so many of us had died for it.
