Who is this guy kidding??
If you have a brain, you know he made these outlandash comments about Bill
and Hillary Clinton because Rev Wright is doing his interview tonight.
If he is so concerned about racisim, then why has he not spoken out to
Obama's "typical white person" comment?
or all the black super
delegates
that get hammered for not supporting
Obama??
This type of crap is one of the reasons why I will not vote for Obama
you get labeled a racist if you do not vote for him.
Talk about intitlement! Obama and his supporters think the White House should be his because he is black. Good grief!
Bill Clinton saying Jesse Jackson won SC twice was not a racist comment
good grief if you make a statement about someone black, oh no!
you are a racist!
He says Hillary Clinton wants to ruin Obama so she can run in 2012!!
That is bull crap!

Clyburn is just telling the truth, the Clinton campaign has been actively pursuing the white racist vote. According to exit polls, almost 1 in 6 voters in Pa. said race influenced their decision and 75% of them voted for Clinton.

Clyburn's right about 2012 as well, considering Clinton is hopelessly behind why else would she stay in the race, if not to muddy Obama up so he loses to McCain.

It would have been a good idea to link to the source. It will enable people to judge Clyburn's comments for themselves.

And what about the fact that 92% of the black voters voted for Obama? Racial preferences are benefiting Obama more than they are hurting him.

Looking at the vote by race voting for another race would convince the casual observer that white are less racist than blacks. Turn about is fairplay.As far as clinton staying in the race you need to ask edward kennedy why he stayed in the race in 1980 against carter to the convention when he was 600 votes behind and had already lost the primary.Some scheme to have delegate removed from the floor at the conventinon by a party rule anbd replaced. Didn't work but he tried. Carter loss that reelection bid to reagan.

Wow aren't we defensive. The black vote before Big Mouth Bill Clinton made those comments were not 92%. Insult me and I am white your not gonna get my vote either.

Clinton looses one of her biggest fund raisers today. He left her camp and join Obama stating that he did not like where her campaign was going. So you can continue to make excuses here but the truth sometimes hurts.

I'm not being defensive, I'm just pointing out that his statement was twisted to make Obama appear the victim of racial prejudice.

The blacks are not voting again Hillary because they are mad at Bill. They are voting for Obama because he's black. And the blacks that do support Hillary are getting flack from other blacks because of their choice.

why should this hurt her because of one guy, she is better off without him if that is the way he feels
no one is making excuses, no excuses are needed
the thread is about Rep Clyburn being a jerk, he is mad because Bill Clinton
did not mind him and because he wants to defuse Rev Wright flapping his big mouth
he is trying to spread lies about Hillary and that stinks especially when he is trying to act like Obama has been treated unfairly because he is black
he was saying "he does not think this" it is "just what he has heard"
yeah right

My, my. How quickly people can turn on you. Not long ago, Bill Clinton was described as the 'first black president". Now he's just a race baiter.
