1. It can't get more non-racist than that

Clinton refers to what he thinks are Obama's misleading assertions about the Iraq war. The collection of those assertions is what Clinton calls a "fairy tale". "This whole thing", he said after talking about Obama's war position, is a fairy tale.

I think the MLK/Lyndon Johnson remarks were insensitive though. I think Hillary or Clinton, I don't know who made those remarks, disrespected MLK, although I don't think they disrespected him because of his color, of course.

5. Exactly. First part, not racist. 2nd part, insensitive. and even though she made...
a mistake, and certainly herself meant no disrespect, it's her fault that she has a habit of saying really ackward things sometimes, and that's how it goes, you pay the consequences.

3. During the 2000 election there was a website called "Gore in Context"
with audio and video debunking the way the Republicans were twisting his words.
Oh well.

4. Except that Bill is purposely lying and distorting Obama's
position, so Bill's whole thesis is a "fairy tale."
