Did you read my comment?
Obama called the Clintons a racist. I didn't mention your name.
Did you read mine?
I said, "He (meaning Obama) never called them racist."
You claim otherwise. Show me evidence.
Respond to the actual point of my diary: the Clintons are not racist, but a very strong case can be made that they raised race as an issue for political gain. Do you deny that they did it? Or, do you defend this sort of behavior?
-but a very strong case can be made that they raised race as an issue for political gain.
Of course he never said it. MLK/LBJ and fairlytale comment were turned around to make is appear the Clintons were racist. It was implied. He implied it and the media took off with it. He also put out a memo in SC saying that the Clintons surrogates were speaking for her. If that were the case than was JJr speaking for Obama when he said Hillary did not cry for Katrina. This is not rocket science.
Anyway, who are you trying to convince?
1) If HRC and BC's comments were turned, who did the turning, Clyburn and Brazile who are not part of Obama's campaign
2) Lets review our conversation:
I started with a generic comment to all HRC supporters about why you folks all seem so enthusiastic about "swift-boating" a fellow Dem, when you are rightfully angry about the treatment your own candidate has received from the Repubs.
You responded not by answering my comment, but by accusing Obama of "calling the Clintons racist."
I replied that he had never done so, and clarifying that there is a difference between being racist and using race for political gain.
Again, you responded by not addressing my response.
If we are going to have a useful exchange of ideas, it would help if you would actually try to answer my questions:
Do you feel justified in "swift-boating" a fellow Dem. Do you feel justified in accusing Obama of "calling the Clintons racist" when he never did. Do you disagree that the Clintons are using race for political gain? Do you feel this is appropriate behavior for a Dem primary?
This is useless. Let's end it here.
