Suggestion : Go to google type in "racist tactics" then 'clinton' or any name you like, who ever has the most hits is using the most racist tactics.

Originally posted by Sam The ShamI suppose the 'racist' thing was that Hillary slighted Martin Luther King by stating that Lydon Baines Johnson was more instrumental in getting civil rights laws passed than MLK. Which is to point true.... he pulled enough 'strings' to get legislation through Congress, but he got something from MLK as well, a modest agreement not to give LBJ a bunch of heat about Vietnam War. Tit for tat as it were.
That's been asked several times on this thread and no one has responded, so apparently the claim is so weak they're too embarrassed to reply and state their case.

BILL Clinton compared Obama's win to Jesse Jackson's win back in the 80's. The intent was to say Obama's win wasn't all that important because Jesse jackson won and still didn't get the nomination either.
Some people are saying Bill Clinton was just trying to remind voters that Obama is black which seems absurd since my guess is most americans already know Barack obama ain't no white guy.

Obama has more appeal because he is running as the 'Rodney King' candidate, that is, we should all be nice to one another and 'can't we all get along?' That married to this idea that he is the candidate of Change (change can be good or bad) and now as Caroline Kennedy would have us believe, hope for America. Just like her daddy wss....
Interesting thing , least in my humble opinion, is we are seeing a split in the Democratic Party, we have the Clinton Democratic Party, those that loved Bill and then the Obama side of the Democratic Party, the if we all just loved and cared about everyone all the world's problems would disappear tommorrow group.
Too bad Hillary has the delegates and the machine, all this will be decided next Tuesday. And Obama can go back to Chicago with his tail between his legs after the Hillary/Bill show give him a proper whooping.

Originally posted by uzlessI'd completely forgotten about Jesse Jackson's moronic bid for president. Remember when MLK was killed, and Jackson went on TV THE NEXT DAY, wearing a "blood" (ketchup) stained shirt (like he couldn't have changed clothes in 24 hours) claiming that King "died in his arms". Then it came out that Ralph Abernathy was the one who held King while Jackson was hiding downstairs on the other side of the building. What a opportunistic liar. Jesse then showed a picture of himself standing next to King on the balcony, trying to prove he was with King when he was shot, until it became common knowledge that the photo was taken the day before. The clown wasn't smart enough to know that his fabrications would come out. Just a despicable person.
