Op-Ed: Obama Was The First To Play Race Card

so clinton supporters....this is what your looking at....to win the nomination....obama just got a few more superdelegates so its obvious she can't convince all the super-delegates left to nominate her....there will be nearly half wanting obama...and she will get the other half.....so those are the facts the clinton campiagn is looking at and as you can tell there not good, which is y some have opt her drop out...cuz its kind of obvious its gonna be hard her to win....

4. what happens to the clintons supporters if she loses??? r u guys gonna split the democratic party cuz she didn't win or are we gonna unite to defeat them damn republicans???

I think we all can agree despite our disagreements of both the candidates.....that a republican doesn't need to be in office.......EVER AGAIN

allright i'm gonna say a few final things on this blog and this solve this whole obama-clinton-mccain..........argument.....

1. People have a terrible view of george bush....obviously
2. Mccain is gonna run the type of campaign bush ran....thats a dooser cuz people don't want anything more dealing with george bush.....the republicans have lost there fire cuzza bush, and won't get enough votes to win the white house....democrats have came in by the numbers and have broke many records in these states.....and also they have made a point just by the turnout they're not going back to a george bush government....thats final

3. Clinton's lead is diminishing by the day....she doesn't have enough delegates to come back....even if she wins Pennsylvania by a landslide....she still has to win kentucky....where her numbers aren't that good.....north Carolina....where she is currently loosing.....indiana.....where the voters scream obama by the second....Oregon where 10000 republicans just switched over to democrat.....3500 of which belong to clinton....the other 6500 r wanting obama......

He dares to speak the truth!

Let the race wars unleash. :)

The day when AA folks can call this like it is? That's a real progress.

He most definitely played the race card. It obviously still works.

The said point?

McCain will win because Obama resorted to thisl

It amazes me what kind of vile non-sequiturs get past the moderators yet other non-incendiary comments don't show up. Anyway, it is clear what upsets some Clinton supporters. It is classic racist thought. They truly believe that Sen. Obama--the black candidate as they have cast him--is inferior to her (and Sen. McCain). Any remotely objective person can not say this is true unless you buy into the Clintons' race baiting tactics. HRC clearly crossed the line when she said that both she and Sen. McCain ("the not black candidates") were qualified to be commader in chief but not her fellow ("the black guy") Democractic opponent. She showed us her hand when she betrayed the Democratic Party by making that statement.

To the misguided, of course Sen. Obama played the race card first. He had the gall to be a black man in the presidential race. So every time they look at him....there he goes again....playing the race card. Forget the fact that Mrs. Clinton was supported by a majority of African-Americans at the outset of the race. Forget the fact that he won that overwhelmingly non-black state of Iowa and other states with similar demographics. There he goes again...playing the race card by being black.

Shame on you, Sen. Obama.

Just to prove this guy is doing the same race baiting he did in The New Republic a month ago, but now he is doing it to help Hillary win PA.

This is the same guy righting the same column in another newspaper. He should be sued for breaking his own copyright. The argument did not fly in the New Republic it does not fly now.

I saw him interviewed after the first time he published this nonsense and he had the nerve to say it was a good strategy by Obama and the Clintons fell into the trap. He has no credibility whatsoever.

The interviewer kept on pressing him on Bill Clinton's SC statement trying to marginalize Obama and he had no answer.

This article is moronic. I find them it of any value whatsoever. It was the Clintons over and over that used subtle race-baiting statements to try to paint Obama as "just the black candidate." The writer of this article is a Clinton shill. White Clinton supporters have no credibility when it comes to identifying what is racist and what is not.

THE CLINTON INSURGENCY IS IN FULL SWING

WHAT ARE WE LOYAL DEMS PREPARED TO DO?

Fueling the current Clinton Insurgency against Obama AND the entire DEM party is the Clintons" belief THEY were robbed of this nomination.

This belief provides them internal psychic comfort and external rationalization for ANY and EVERY behavior we have seen and will continue to see RIGHT THROUGH 2012.

Only the naive think this ends at the Convention. After losing there, the Clinton Insurgency goes underground to further expand their support of McCain's candidacy. If unsuccessful, it moves to the Senate where Hillary as Lieberman REDUX, will practically caucus with McCain to deny President Obama any success.

Between Super Tuesdays Obama won 11 straight states; and the Campaign to Elect Hillary morphed into the Campaign to Defeat Obama via this new political Insurgency we are witnessing daily.
Indeed, Hillary's campaign is an undeclared death-struggle to deny Obama not the nomination (she knows that's already lost), but the Presidency and any media coverage that would aid him.

The goal is no longer winning. Victory is in prolonging the battle and denying the favorite his expected result, while spoiling it so that ultimate victory is worth less each day the Insurgency continues. This new Clinton campaign can only be by design of our Chief Democratic Architect, former President Bill Clinton, himself.

We all know this in our hearts. The only question facing loyal DEMS, to paraphrase Sean Connery from "The Untouchables": What are WE prepared to do?

Hey I just thought about something.....I guess it was Sen. Obama to be the first to bring up race, it happened when he announced he was running for President.

Of course it is Obamas fault. If he had not been born black there would be no reason for the clintons to bring it up.

I guess that was really Sen. Obama's voice coming out of Bill Clinton's mouth when he compared his win in SC to that of Jessie Jacksons?

yeah its real amazing how you say obama uses the race card when he is from both races...how can you be racist....if your moms white???he would then have to hate his own mother.....it goes back to the thinkin of the conservatives in the civil war....if you had 1% black in you, they considered you black.....even with white ancestry....as if white blood is too good to get mixed with black blood....the blood of slaves......denounce this clinton and mccain supporters and i know you will....how can you be racist mentally if your a bi-product of two races mixed....unless you deny part of your bloodline.....if thats the case everything that he does white, ceases to exist from him.....then you would have half of a man...instead you have a human being that has the best of both worlds....noone sees that....they also don't see that there views toward him using the race card....is of a old conservative view....if you have 1% black in you, your black....hes not fully black....so he can't fully use the race card...what people should be sayin is dude your half white....but you dont' hear that.....thats cuz hes not actively using the race card, or the people screaming this have the old conservative view of a slave....

I'LL JUST BE VERY HONEST HERE... I've said from the outset that I could support ANY ONE of the Democratic candidates with enthusiasm, though neither Sen. Obama or Sen. Clinton would probably have been my first choice.

I'm amazed at how much I STILL DEEPLY RESENT the actions of the Obama campaign in the weeks surrounding the S. Carolina primary.
The gist of the article above is true............ I saw it,..... YOU saw it..........I know it..........and so do you.

I'd like to believe there was not a calculated plan in place to paint the Clintons as racists.........
I'd like to believe that.....

I'd like to believe that the folks saying those ugly things we ALL remember, just got carried away, or believed what others had told them.....
That being the savvy poilitician he is.........Sen. Obama merely saw what was happening and had to go with it ,.......just hardball politics......nothing personal.......
I'd like to believe that..........

Sen. Obama will get my vote .......(which is all he ever wanted)
It's going to take awhile to see whether my ENTHUSIASM can be restored...................................tm
