What does this prove and how is it relevant here? Another common tactic on the right, deflection. This is an alleged conversation recounted by a "friend" of Ted Kennedy. Furthermore, if Clinton said this, he was belittling Obama and this statement could've been said about a person of any race, unlike the tacky racist joke in the OP. What does this have to do with the price of tea in China? Nothing. Is this your way of defending the racist email that IS the topic of this thread? Lame.

True, along with acusing everyone else of playing the race card when you get called on your racism.

You all are going to make matters worse. That when there is a real act of racism. Someone being discriminated against or actually called a racial slur. People are going to ignore you.

That goes in both directions. Minorities don't get a pass on that.

Yes everything. Including saying " I dont support Obama" Just something that simple makes you a racist to the left.

Wish you'd welcome back the world of free speech that people had thicker skin and not every sentence had to have the words " I dont mean to offend anyone".

NewsFlash !! Just because something appears to be racist to you does not mean it is. Its a joke, Its not calling anyone a racial slur. It is not discriminating against anyone. Its simply a joke I guess had the person said a white person you'd be fine with it. But we have this pc world that everything is stereotyped that you cant dare say anything about a person that is a minority anymore without it being racist.

So this guy who passed an e-mail is the leader of the Republican party? He didn't make up the joke , and he has quit . This whole thread is a deflection . The Democrats say racist things and you excuse it away . A Republican will be made to step down by the party. Keep up the race baiting , its better than bragging about all the work Obama tells us he has done for us.

Bill Maher can go on national tv and use the N word and he isnt a racist nor is that he said.. But a republican tells a joke and says black person in it and that is racist

Some twisted logic here

Yeah, "alleged" conversation just like the individual in question had an "alleged" email

Right, because only Obama would have been involved in slavery, discriminated against, held a menial job and not able to get a good quality education, unlike the rest of the minorities who wouldnt have had to suffer such hardship... it would only have been Obama..

No one defended racist comments in an email.. Its the outrage of the left when someone on the right makes a "stupid" comment, while the very same individuals sit here and pretend comments made by the left that are ALSO racist, arent racist.. Fine.. if Clintons comments weren't racist, then lets reword it.. GET ME SOME TEA SLAVE.. Thats all you are qualified to do.. There, do you find THAT insulting? I bet you do because it is.. But you had no problem when Clinton said it...
