Last night's all new "Saturday Night Live" was hosted by actor Shia Labeouf. The show opened with Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton giving a message to America.

Poehler's Clinton says how the race is "hopelessly deadlocked" and she gives reasons why she will make the better president. Reason one? "I am a sore loser... I will probably refuse to campaign for him." Second: "My supporters are racist." It goes from there.

She nailed it ... that Clinton way of saying the nastiest things with a smile on their face. I've always believed the problem with the Clintons wasn't so much that they were corrupt ... the problem was their ability to corrupt the thinking of others.

The Question we need to be asking is....

Would Hillary accept an offer to run for Vice President...

On a ticket with....John McCain?

Baised upon what they have done so far....

The Clintons could NOT CARE LESS...ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

It's all about POWER...

Hilliary-arious. Now I would like to see same thing on Obama. And by the way, just wondering. If Obama was white with the same views, what percentage of black votes would he get against Hilliary?

Bill Ayers was not convicted and the members of his group that were convicted were pardoned by none other than President Bill Clinton. What do you think about that. Look it up on the internet.

I thought that was hysterical, it's a nice parody of the caricature of HRC we've all been seeing around for a while.

Obama launched his IL senate candidacy at the door-step of Bill Ayers the underground terrorist
One of his best friends in the Chicago elite circle was a fella named Rashid, an Iraqi with Hamas connections
Wright ... well we all know his Farrakhan, Libyan/Gaddafi connections and his longstanding relationship with Obama. Not to forget his inflammatory, racist, bigoted and seperatist speeches
Michele Obama claims America is a mean Country and she never had any reason to be proud of the Nation she is clamoring to be the first lady of!
Lack of lapel pin as a protest against patriotism
Crotch salute to the flag during the rendering of the National Anthem!

Well, no wonder Obama is the hero of all the far-left-loons-America haters!!!

SO WHY IS HILLARY SO OBSESSED WITH CONTINUING TO CAMPAIGN ? SURMISE AN UNSPEAKABLE SCENARIO. SURMISE HILLARY'S COMPETITON IS ELIMINATED BEFORE THE CONVENTION. SURMISE BY A U.S . "ALLY" IN THE MIDDLE EAST ACCOMPLISHING YET ANOTHER FALSE FLAG OPERATION. SURMISE THAT HILLARY KNOWS IN ADVANCE. SURMISE THAT PERHAPS HILLARY FULLY KNOWS THAT SHE WILL BE THE LAST PERSON STANDING. SADLY, I WOULD NOT PUT THIS PAST HER.
THE SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE SKIT, THOUGH OFF THE CHARTS BRILLIANT, IS (FOR ME) GUT WRENCHING IN ITS TRUTH TELLING AS WELL. I WISH TO SEE A WOMAN BECOME PRESIDENT IN MY LIFETIME- JUST PLEASE NOT HILLARY.

I can't believe you think this is satire about Hillary. SNL is constantly doing satire about the MSM.
In this skit, Hillary is talking about herself in every way the pundits talk about her every day, every night,
in the newspapers, on the blogs. I believe they were having her speak the pundit speak to knock the MSM. How do I know this? Do you really think that SNL or most people in America think that Hillary's supporters are racists, or that she is unethical, or that she is a sore loser. The pundits would have you believe that, but there are very few in this country who really believe that.

It's amazing how a little slant can cloud your vision.

This skit pokes fun at everyone.

It pokes fun at Obama supporters for saying that Hillary's voters are racist.
It pokes fun at Hillary's personality, and the way she speaks ("I'm not bragging, it's just fact") and at her continuous sliding metric (which has been criticized by her detractors and supporters alike)
It pokes fun at Hillary's supporters for still supporting her (by referring to her as the Next President of the United States, when it's pretty obvious that's not true) and at the supporters who've admitted openly that they're racist
It pokes fun at Obama by pointing out that he is too nice (within her whole 'I am a sore loser' schtick)
It even pokes fun at blacks by suggesting that Rev. Wright is a "pre-eminent AA leader"

Seems to me that sometimes people see precisely what they want to see, but can't be bothered to see all sides of a situation.

Um. Yes, this skit is an attack on everybody including the voters, the MSM, and Hillary Clinton herself.

Also, yes, many people of all backgrounds DO think a) Clinton is a sore loser, b) her supporters are racists and c)that she is unethical.

Hillary is the one who thinks that everybody (I'm not pointing fingers but look in the mirror) is too stupid to figure out her game. Unfortunately for her, she's wrong and so are you.

If anyone's an embarrassment it's Hillary.

The first female American President will come inevitably, soon...there are many strong women in leadership positions across this country who got where they are solely by their own merits and not because of the men they married. I can't believe any self-respecting feminist could *possibly* think Hillary represents feminist principles.

The fact is that there is a significant amount of racism within the democrat party.

It's proven in the state by state primary contests, and demographics, 9/10 times.

Sadly the reality is that even though it's not most democrats, it enough that BO can't win.

I'd suggest everyone try to stop the spinning and insults and try to fix the dem-primary system.

    Favorite    Flag as abusive Posted 06:12 PM on 05/13/2008

I disagree. I think that Obama supporters should actually step up the spinning, the insults, the attacks, and the race cards. It helps define them in the eyes of more objective observers, and will hopefully result in that which they do not wish.

No no, Hillary supporters should step up the "cultish kool-aid drinking", "elitist", "sexist", anti-American fear tactics cards.

I mean, since we're playing "point the finger".

Do you even know what the terms you are using mean? Obviously not. Hillary's the one spinning, attacking, insulting, and playing every race card in the book . You are too drunk on the Clinton kool-aid to realize that your girl plays dirty.

Hahaha! Hilarious. Sad, but true. I used to think that racism was largely pushed out to the fringes in the 21st century. Instead, I've realized, that even among some of my colleagues at work or friends, there is this low-level kind of resentment or distrust of certain minorities like blacks. Its just much more prevalent than I thought. These are not people dropping the N bomb all the time- they're not angry or hateful about it. And those that do it aren't necessarily lower-class or uneducated. They're not Southern or rural. It's frankly a dynamic we don't talk about very much; its this kind of softer bigotry. This people don't see themselves as racists, but realists- even though their perception is usually slanted by a few bad experiences. I think its something we as a society really need to improve - hell if I know how though.

You could be right. In fact, maybe all people, save those who support Obama, are racists. Yeah, that's it; that's the ticket. That's why they don't like him.

c'mon hinnis is that all you can come up with????

- we are not blaming only media bias for Obama's successes thus far.-
sure there was media bias...early on. but they chewed obama's butt for that last 6 weeks and he survived it...also its not like the clintons haven't gotten a media pass during bills runs..
-the flawed caucus system-
its the SAME system that bill dealt with and won and lost on during his run..TWICE..
-Obama's strong support and donations from special interests-
obama has refused PACs money (something hillary hasn't) the only special interest group obama is taking money from is the PEOPLE in donations of 10 and 20...
-Obama's incessant throwing of the race card in an effort to destroy the legacy of the Clinton Administration-
If anyone is playing a card its hillary throwing the GENDER AND RACE card...how many time is one of her surrogates or supports blame misogyny or gender bias..and what about basically saying obama can't win general election cause he's black...
-the reluctance of anyone to criticize Obama for fear of the race card-
good thing the media didn't play that rev wright thing.it would have destroyed obamas chances
-and the naivete of his followers who will believe everything he says, without question -
this coming a supporter of a candidate who wanted to institute a tax holiday that would have done more harm than good ...that was a great plan to you????

I am so sick and tired of Clinton supporters complaining that this race has been unfair and blaming everyone else for Clinton"s loss.

Everyone knows that Clinton could have won the nomination, but the fact is that the Clinton campaign made some serious errors early in the campaign that they were never able to recover from. In my opinion, trusting Mark Penn was one of their most serious errors and they would probably be in much better shape now if Geoff Garin had be running things from the start. Who decided that the Clinton campaign should place their faith in Mark Penn? Hillary? Bill? I"ll tell you this: it wasn"t Obama. The blame for the Clinton campaign"s poor performance lies within the Clinton campaign.

The Clinton campaign had everything that they could possibly have needed: money, connections, the "Clinton" name, and over 100 super delegates to start with. Yet Clinton came in third in Iowa. Not first. Not second. She came in third. So do the Clinton supporters expect me to believe that not only was her Iowa loss Obama"s fault, but Edward"s fault also?

Clinton"s loss is not Barack Obama"s fault. It"s not the media"s fault. It"s not SNL"s fault. It is the fault of Clinton and the Clinton campaign.

Could Clinton beat McCain in November? Would Clinton be a great President? We"ll never know because she lost the primary. Neither Clinton, nor her supporters, should blame anyone else other than Clinton and her campaign for that.

As a Clinton supporter, I agree in the main which what you have said here. I think Clinton is a fine senator, and a substandard campaigner. But I would like to say this to the Obama supporters in this place who seem to take such delight in Clinton's downward trajectory: let it be enough that your candidate is winning. Why do you seem so dedicated to Clinton's humiliation? It's not enough that Obama wins - Clinton must fail?

If Obama does win - as I believe he will - I will back him 100%. But why should we cut the process short? Why are we in such a hurry for the kill? We have an election process in place, a good process, and I think we should honor that process by playing it out to the end.

They can't help it; it is in their nature. Are these the kind of people you wish to ally yourself with in the general? Do you look forward to the race card being thrown against all who dare criticize the mighty Obama? They have the temperament and tactics of the far right, with the politics of the far left. Such a dangerous combination.

As a hard-working African American, I do think it's important that a presidential candidate who calls me and millions of other non-white people lazy should fail because racism should not be the driving force behind any presidential campaign.

We are in a hurry because every day that Clinton spends attacking Obama is a day that John McCain gets another dangerous free ride. She's damaging Obama so she can run in 2012. She shouldn't get away with it. This election should be about America, not about Hillary Clinton.
