Re: These appear to be legit (1.33 / 3)

It is too late.  Hillary went where she should never have gone.  You know what I am talking about.  The democrats take pride on our standing up for AAs, but the Clintons want to throw AAs to the back of the bus.  I am a white woman who is part latino, and Hillary has finally crossed the line.

Her exact quote was "to the back of the bus", not "under the bus" =)

Re: These appear to be legit (2.00 / 2)

Actually, it's Obama throwing AA's  under the bus.  First, by cynically using the race-bait-and-switch tactics against Hillary.  Second, by staying up till 2a.m. to write an ass-saving speech that superficially purports to speak honestly, but actually exploits racial issues from every perspective in order to divert blame from himself and cast him as a great philosopher/healer.  How much healing have you seen this last week?  When you have a self-serving motive, no healing can result.  It's so depressing: the democratic party is more divided along racial lines than it has been for decades, and that's even more true after the speech.  You want to blame Hillary for that?  He has used race as a sword and a shield to benefit himself.

Re: These appear to be legit (1.00 / 1)

Now sit there and ask yourself why the Democratic Party is divided along racial lines.  You blame Barack Obama. If that lie is psychologically soothing to you, be my guest.  The fact of the matter is the race baiting started in South Carolina.

But the big lie came with the one of "inevitability".  Good luck with them all.  Your rationale is intellectually dishonest and pathetic.

"the race baiting started in South Carolina."

That's one of several grossly untrue and mischaracterized slanders of Bill Clinton that the Obama campaign has foisted onto this race. Obama supporters continuing to play the race card is discrediting the victims of real racism, by crying wolf.

Continue with the disreputable tactics, they are backfiring miserably for your candidate. Don't let the truth stop you.

Re: These appear to be legit (none / 0)

"I am a white woman who is part latino, and Hillary has finally crossed the line."

Does your being a white woman who is part latino lend any additional credence to your belief that Hillary has finally crossed the line ?

Or, are you implying that Hillar has finally crossed the line BECAUSE you are a white woman who is part latino ?

That would be like saying "I am part Gothic and part Boer, and Hillary has finally crossed the line"!!

When did Clintons throw AA under the bus?

I hate to be prissy, (none / 0)

but...her exact quote was that AAs were being thrown to the BACK of the bus, not under the bus.

There is a significant difference: if you were thrown under the bus, then you would no longer be on the bus.  On the other hand, if you were thrown to the back of the bus, you are still on the bus.

I would rather be thrown to the back than under. <SNARK>

"the Clintons want to throw AAs to the back of the bus"

Your statement is offensive and outrageously untrue. Playing the race card where it is patently false really undermines the problem of identifying real racism. You cut the legs out of the real victims of racism by making this kind of slander.
