Bill's recent words were wrongly spun as racial, but today's comparing Obama to JJ are DESPICABLE

11. Oof, just by the initials and the implication...

I thought it was bill comparing Obama to J.J. from "Good Times". Woo. I was set to be pissed.

5. Look, I can partially defend him

There is an advantage for Obama in SC if he holds the black vote. That is a fact! The disturbing part is the ease and the regularity that the clintons continue to bring this up.

6. This will be the story next week. And Bill has now sunk HRC in Super Tues South states, as well. Go

Billary ! Obama will sail right past this marginalizing garbage !

7. The other comments were bad too

Maybe you are not catching the code words. He is pushing the same buttons that Republicans push.


Pundits now saying that he "ut down the blunt instrument and picked up a chainsaw" over the Jackson comments.

8. It was a final vindictive jab after the bell was rung n/t

9. I don't think there is anything malicious about his mentioning how...

SC's black population has voted in the past when a black candidate runs for the White House. I'm not going to read any ill-intentions into what he's saying, either.

It appears that many black voters in SC (obviously not all) will vote for a black candidate over a white candidate. I don't think neither Bill nor anyone else claims that there's something "wrong" with that, but that it's just historically how it's been in SC.

Congrats, Barack... onward to Feb. 5, I say.

10. He's got a point

Winning there didn't mean Jackson could win everywhere. Its the same with Obama. The Clintons had demographics against them in South Carolina.

I'm sorry race has become a factor but the media keeps pushing it.
