This is uncalled for.

Clinton's remarks were distorted entirely. When will people see this? Do you honestly think that the Clintons who have a record of working for African Americans are racist? This is absolutely astonishing.

Why does the press go after Clinton when she supposedly uses the gender card yet stand aside when Obama plays the race card?

CLINTON >>>made it a point to share with the audience that her relationship with King dates back to her childhood.

"I remember hearing him speak when I went with my church in downtown Chicago to go and hear and see for myself someone who had burst through the stereotypes and the caricatures who could not be held back by being beaten or gassed or jailed."
????????????????????????????????????????
She was a down for Barry Goldwater in 1964!!! Who was against the Civil Rights Movement. His homestate of ARIZONA is the ONLY state that doesn't celebrate MLK's birthday. MLK marched in her home city of Chicago in the 60s and called it worse and more racists than anything in the South. (on that note, can John McCain explain why his state won't accept MLK Day?)

Obama never really answered her remarks. The MEDIA blasted her. This is sick.

"Do you honestly think that the Clintons who have a record of working for African Americans are racist?"

Alex, hardly anybody thinks they are racists. What people do think -- and there's a good bit of evidence to back this up now -- is that they're shameless enough to use race to win the election, if that's what it takes.

"Why does the press go after Clinton when she supposedly uses the gender card yet stand aside when Obama plays the race card?"

Alex, Obama didn't play the race card. To play the race card would be political suicide. He never spoke about any of this until forced to after Clinton's MTP performance, when she blamed all misconstruing of her remarks on a "vast Obama conspiracy." The CLINTONS are trying to inject race into the campaign, because they -- and his opponent -- know it's ultimately a loser for Obama.

It's sad. The Clintons have shamed their legacy.

Also, if you look at what has been said over and over again during these past months; The Clintons have been telling us that Barack Obama, isn't good enough to represent any race, or class of people. That is why this is so disheartening, the since of her” Entitlement."

We don't owe anyone our vote, you must first earn it! This is how the American people are being pushed into voting for the Clinton's. What was done in the past is just that, the past! What matter now is what you have done Lately! We need to know Hillary’s experience now, and not Bill’s experience back then in the 1990’s.

Has Hillary made any major changes since she has been in the "Senate" now! However she did vote for the Iraq war and the Iran resolution, what bills has she passed that has helped the American people within the last 7 years? What makes you think that anything will change, does she have the ability to work across party lines?

From what I see so far from Hillary is that we are “Being had,” all talk and no action. So my point is this “We the People of the United States of America,” must judge for ourselves and not what anyone is willing to say, or do to get elected.

So, Hillary if we don't have unity instead we will still have division, and then what good would it do to elect you?

Now, if Obama can bring about change then we are better off going with a new way of thinking instead of having the same old thing and expecting different results equal the definition of Stupidity!

As, to race and the gender card being played it has been played all along by the Hillary Clinton. Example: “I am a woman, I sorry that you don't like me, crying to get votes in New Humphries, I’ve been vetted, and the list goes on and on” What does that say about what you are willing to do to get elected, at any cost? Remember there isn’t any crying in politics; just simply state your case and move on! Let us make our own choice, stick to the facts and stop the BS’!

OBAMA, he's smart, speaks well, inspirational, educated, young, black, but ask yourself this, does he point this out himself, our do we! He has never mentioned these things only other have. That is what the Clinton campaign is "Afraid” of! That you will take the time to look at him, and see what is really wrong with American, because he doesn't fit the stereotype of what White America really thinks about Black people!

This is the fear that the Clinton campaign is afraid of, that we will see this in them. That is why they have been visage in attacking Barack Obama, and they are trying to dismiss him, and all of his accomplishment. So don’t be fooled by the Clinton’s or Karl Rove, they are both using the same playbook. “Attack, Attack, Attack, Dismiss, Dismiss, Dismiss, Blame, Blame, Blame, Destroy Destroy Destroy, Defeat, Defeat Defeat”! Then we the people LOOOOSE!!!!!

So, I ask you again; we are free to choose the candidate of our own choice, but don't be fooled by what you see, or hear the Clintons say they can’t be trusted. Bill Clinton, hasn't never been a black president for black people, but rather the president of the United States of America. That “IS” the same opportunity that Barack Obama is asking of us too!

We don’t need petty insults of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, or of any other person who was willing to lay their life on the line for America to achieve the “Dream of Equality of all its people, Black, White, Brown, Asian, Women and Children”!

To add food for thought; Perhaps we all need to look deep within our own hearts and ask ourselves the one major burning question. Why would you first of all be so disrespectful to someone whom only wants to have a seat at the table? Barack Obama, no doubt must be pretty important.

The movement of inspiration of change and hope that he brings, I would contributed this to his up bring, teaching, character, and his abilities to inspire others by the message of hope, that he now brings us. You see he is living the dream!

What compassion and strong conviction he must have to put himself, and his family out their for so many people to look at. That takes courage and the willingness of sacrifice that he wants to bring about “Change like so many others that came before him!”

He isn’t an empty suit as others have suggested; but rather most importantly enough a “Man” that has the courage to run for president, and to give apart of himself too, and for others.

He has instead demonstrated these gifts of service through his community outreach efforts, community organizer, and his works within the Illinois house of legislation, and now a State Senator. He has achieved many great accomplishments and will continue to achieve greater successes.

But, one thing that I do know; If you allow fear to rule your mind and your hearts, you will never be able to appreciate the efforts of others. “The goal for each individual is to give more than you take from this life, and not the other way around.” And lastly and more importantly: “Dare to Dream” Barack Obama for president of the United States of America!

Let's be clear: Clinton and her campaign surrogates have injected this crap into the campaign over and over, day after day. Her campaign was great until she got nailed for her performance at the Philadelphia debate. Since then, Clinton has sent out a number of supporters/surrogates to shift attention away from the issues that face the nation. Shaheen, Kerrey, Bill Clinton, Johnson, and others.

Her campaign is now cynical, divisive, and reprehensible. The Clintons' lust for power in the face of a nation in crisis is palpable.

The press simply refuses to give Hillary Clinton a fair shake. Most press covering her is negatively slanted while her opponents get the exact opposite treatment. I hope people realize this and understand they can not trust our media outlets.

C'mon people! This is a perfect example of how Sen Clinton would lose this election for us in November. Getting a dem in the white is the most important thing, not Hillary's personal ambition. Let's not give the republicans the gift of a clinton nomination. Vote OBAMA for a sure win in Nov!

in the White House, that is.

Do we have to do this whole Clinton thing all over again? The spin... the endless calculations... the need to seek power at any cost...

History will not be kind to HRC.

Dr. King's legacy will live on for generations - providing a guide post to all people signalling integrity, courage and lasting change.

Hillary racist? Absolutely... it's the subtle kind of racism that people like her cannot see when they look at themselves in the mirror...

Yeah, the media is part of the Vast Barack Obama Conspiracy. Everyone knows only a Clinton or Bush can rule the U.S., but we persist in this infantile affirmative action case to make people feel better.

Now just watch, my words will be twisted to say I am a racist.

Wow. Hillary is in deep trouble. I guess its time to cry.

No I don't think the Clintons are racists.

As far a the media treatment of Senator Clinton, no amount of purported media bias could make this sound any stupider.

"..and see for myself someone who had burst through the stereotypes and the caricatures..."

I read Clinton to be saying that seeing MLK broke through the stereotypes and caricatures she possessed.

Everyday it's some other inanity from her camp.

I have been willing to give her the benefit of the doubt and took no offense at her MLK/President Johnson remark nor to her husband's 'fairy tale remark, which I understood to be a complaint that the media was treating Obama preferentially.

However, the remarks of Saheen, Mark Penn, Kerrey, and Cumno, it seems to me to be not just coincidental.

The day Hillary Clinton rubbed her hands in glee and announced "Now the FUN part begins!" is the day she lost my vote. She's been playing in the mud ever since. She'd make Carl Rove proud if she were a Republican.

"The Clintons have been telling us that Barack Obama, isn't good enough to represent any race, or class of people"

Except of course, that statement is a miserable lie, and both Bill and Hillary Clinton have said exactly the opposite.

Maybe, Hillary Clinton could run for Governor of Arkansas and earn her wings.

Reject the Clinton-Bush-McCain-Giuliani politics of personal destruction in '08. Vote your HOPES and not your fears. Don't reward those who profit off of divisiveness and hatred. Vote FOR something, don't be shamed into voting against anything; And you will have made these United States a far better country.

What has the Clinton's really done for Black Folks? As I remember it, they was not all that great.What worked in the 80's will not work now. And Hillary will soon find this out. This a New Decade. We have come a long way baby.

Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton AKA(Billary) are from Hicksville.

Hillary and Bill Clinton on the Race Issues and the Sexism. 01/14/2008

Why on earth would you of all people bring this up? Was this intentional meant to divide all people from seeing the big picture of America’s flaws?

We are in a war for democracy within Iraq and all across the world. Our goal is to bring individuals together to allow all of its people live in peace.

We only have one world to live on that I know of at this state of the game. So why would we demonstrate such disrespect of one another.

If we want Change, then we must fight for it. Some people in other cutlers would love to have what we have here in America, although it isn't perfect. We don't need to relive the hurtful past although, it still is a daily struggle for most America today.

So, Hillary and Bill and your surrogates like Bob Johnson of ex- BET founder, Charley Shenhne, Mark Penn, etc. and others; keep your mouth shut and stop with the BS. If you win or lose do it the right way, and stop all of this underhanded, undermining, dismissive, devices approach. That will get you no where with the Voter’s. Stop with this mess we all know how racism and sexism, is still the underlining factor that we are still dealing with in our own country today!

Hillary and Bill Clinton you look desperate! Stop lying and distorting Barack Obama’s record to make yourself look better! Stop lying because you are the ones that brought up the race issue, not Barack Obama.

Stop attacking Barack Obama for being above what you are talking about! It shows that you are fearful of what he represents and rightly so, then you deserve to lose.

Also I would like for you to name me one person that hasn’t done something within there youth that they are not proud off. We only have to look at today’s youth to see what is going own with them.

You can be the best parent in the world and teach your children about peer pressures; however that doesn’t mean that they are going to do what you want them to do, even if they don’t tell you, or you have to find out the hard way.

In other words we all have some Skeltons in our closets; at least Barack Obama was honest about his. I can’t say the same for others!

Vote for Change, Yes We Can, Yes We Can Change all the way to the White House Barack Obama! Yes We Can have hope, Dream dreams, Live them and be Counted and not be DISMISSED!

The Clinton era has passed. The boomers have ruled since 1960, let a new generation take its turn. Bill was great when he was president; but, Hilary is no Bill. Another day, another time. It's Obama's time and many Americans can sense the change that's coming. Let it go. A new breed of Americans are in the horizon: educated, tolerant, more global oriented, ready for the 21st century. Karl Rove's tactics of smears and dirt digging are no longer effective. Besides, Rove is stupid.

Response to Referen comments:

Also, if you look at what has been said over and over again during these past months; The Clinton's have been telling us that Barack Obama, isn't good enough to represent any race, or class of people. That is why this is so disheartening, the since of her” Entitlement

I guess that you do get the underlining meaning do you! Its the actions and their words, if you are able to pick up on the message that they are sending. So when she was on meet the press and she was saying how capable he is, well that great and all they why do you have your attack dogs going after him including her.

That is the underlining message, so we need to read between the lines, like the race card and the sexism crying moment and get the big picture!

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to spill the fuel! Just don't be around when you light the match, or you will go up in smoke like, Hillary and Bill comments!

She made her bed and now she has to sleep in it. I don't think anyone is accusing the Clintons of being racist. I think the point is that they are both playing race card with hardball tatics. Racism is something one beleives. Playing the race card is a tatic to win an election.

Remember Hillary's "plantation" remarks? I can still hear her slipping into that "semi-black" accent and speech cadence. She is a manipulative phony through and through.

AMERICAN'S UNITED 1-2-3 END THE
CLINTON-BUSH DYNASTY !!!! FOOD FOR THOUGHT SR BUSH AND MR. SLICK WILLY HIMSELF ARE GOOD BUDDIES. END IT! IT HELPS THE RICH, AND DOESN'T HELP THE MIDDLE WORKING CLASS!!! 1-2-3 END THE CLINTON-BUSH DYNASTY!!!

How can facts become so twisted and misconstrued? Hillary never played the race card. She wasn't playing dirty tactics. Her statement was misconstrued.

Hillary's comment was not in any way negative towards MLK. She only said that it takes a team of people to make something happen. It takes someone with vision and communication skills (MLK), it takes others who can ingrain that vision into our legal system by passing the Civil Rights Act (LBJ). Both are important. Obama is particularly strong on vision. Hillary is particularly strong on execution. So Hillary is pointing out that vision alone is not going to drive the change in this country. It's going to take vision and execution. I think the MLK and LBJ analogy is a good one. In fact, Clinton and Obama would be a terrific team. Vision and execution = leadership.

Hillary said nothing about race. She was talking about two human beings who were catalysts for some of the most exciting change in this country.

i don't think her comments were racially charged, i think they were simply poorly stated, to the misfortune of both her campaign and the Black community.

we know Hil isn't racist, but she is woefully misrepresented by her own staff, and should take this opportunity to find out who is behind a lot of the things going wrong in her campaign, and hand him/her/them a pink slip.

um.
Who's Luke Warm?

Hillary was attempting to take some of the momentum away from Obama, because most people realized that Obama reminded them of MLK, nad JFK, so her tactful remarks back fired, and now she's back peddling. I dislike her and will never vote for her.

Tara I went to the web site you listed, that was bill's record, not hillary's. It's time to turn the page. Who running Bill or Hillary

This is like the workplace, these campaigns. You say something and some people think you mean something else.

This all a non issue. The media is trying to create controversy, and you are falling for it.

Both Obama and Hillary are natural leaders, dedicated Americans, very ambitious, and yes it's ok for a woman to be ambitious, and they both have an excellent intellect and are stong emotionally and mentally.

Hopefully they'll both be President one day...one right after the other one. My own dream....sixteen years of Democrats in the White House. Oh, how great it would be!!!

Finally! Americans are showing that they can distinguish "faked" from "real". The Clintons will tell you everything you want to hear until they get what they want. Let's give a young, honest, energetic politician the chance to start a new political era in the U.S.A.

The person who has fallen the farthest during this slap fight, in my estimation, is Bill Clinton. There is something truly undignified about a former president sloshing around in the sewer of primary politics.

I totally agree with Carmen. The words ' I did not have an affair with that woman' echoed in my mind as I watched Bill spin his web. Bill Clinton has done a lot of great things but telling the truth is not one of them.

Hillary is not racist. She's not. The Obama camp doesn't think so either. What she is - Karl Rove reincarnated. Obama used examples of us reaching for the impossible: JFK's going to the moon till people reached for it or showing MLK's dream being realized when thousands reached for it.

Hillary's words were meant to misinform the uninformed. To paint an untrue picture of Sen. Obama.

From saying he is against pro-choice which she knows is flatly untrue.
From distorting his consistance opposition to the war - which she knows is flatly untrue.

He is ethical and, like us, want a change from all of the lying, backstabbing, doing anything to win politics.

It is a shame because most Dems going into this said we will back whomever the dem nominee is. Now so many, SO MANY are saying they could NEVER support her. She's divided our party and proves all of the "years" she spent working for causes was just building a resume. She cares for nothing but winning.

This is how the game is played when the stakes are high: The Clinton surrogates - who have no direct links to the Hillary campaign, and are thus supposedly acting on their own - don't like the fact that the Nevada Democratic party is making it easy for unionized casino workers to participate in the Saturday caucuses. So they've sued to stop the process.

The state Democratic party has been busy setting up meeting sites at nine big casinos, so that members of the powerful Culinary Workers Union - as well as any non-union workers within a two-mile radius of the sites - can choose a candidate during their work break. That seems like a reasonable idea - so reasonable, in fact, that the Democratic National Committee overwhelmingly approved the plan last spring; and so reasonable that nary a whisper of dissent was voiced by any of the Democratic presidential candidates.

Indeed, when Hillary left Iowa last week, she lamented the fact that so many working people were unable to participate in those caucuses, due to their work schedules. As she told ABC News, "You have a limited period of time on one day to have your voices heard. That is troubling to me. You know, in a situation of a caucus, people who work during that time - they're disenfranchised."

But all of a sudden, Hillary's surrogates are now claiming that the Nevada Democratic plan violates the U.S. Constitution, and that therefore these "at large" caucus sites - which are actually intended to enfranchise more working people - should be eliminated.

I'm just wondering: Could this lawsuit, filed late Friday, have anything to do with the fact that the 60,000-member Culinary Workers Union gave its much-coveted endorsement, 48 hours earlier, to Barack Obama?

Kirsten Searer, the state party's deputy executive director, is quoted as saying that, ever since the caucus rules were OKed by the national Democrats last May, "the campaigns have been fully informed throughout the process." There hadn't been a shred of protest from the Hillary camp about the plans for casino caucus sites; nor had there been any protest from the pro-Hillary folks who have now filed the lawsuit. In fact, some of those pro-Hillary folks are members of the state party, and they participated in the March 31, 2007 meeting that OKed the plan...unanimously.

Officially, Hillary's campaign says it knows nothing about the laswuit and, as the candidate herself said this weekend, "I have no opinion on the lawsuit." So we are supposed to believe that she and her campaign have no connection whatsoever to the plaintiffs, who happen to include the Nevada State Education Association teacher's union, whose deputy executive director is a founding member of Hillary's Nevada Women's Leadership Council. And it's perhaps sheer coincidence that the law firm pushing the suit is Hillary-friendly; several senior partners have given her money, and one prominent lawyer in the firm, ex-congressman James Bilbray, has endorsed her and has been campaigning for her. (Here's Hillary, yesterday: "I don't think it's supporters of mine. There seems to be some misunderstanding about that.")

Hillary has complained for years that the 2000 post-election Florida crisis was an insult to democracy, an attempt by Republicans to disenfranchise minorities by suppressing their votes. It's hard to see how she is well served today by exposing herself to that same charge in Nevada - particularly when it is being leveled by a pro-Democratic union official whose members include large numbers of working-class Hispanics ("This is an attempt to wholesale disenfranchise people who are largely women, largely people of color, and people who do the kind of work that makes this town go").

Ho hum... While Clinton was getting booed by knowledgeable African-Americans, ignorant ones like Charlie Rangel were calling Obama's remarks [merely wonder why HRC complained about Cong. John Clyburn's remarks] "absolutely idiotic."

Rangel and Robert Johnson are absolutely idiotic to support a pair of con-people like the Clinton Inc. duo.
