"Shame on you Obama" comments by Hillary

[marylanddem]

What a shameful borderline-racist patronizing commentary from Clinton. Abominable.

[AtomicKitten]

1. It's like watching a car crash in slow motion.

[EFerrari]

19. I hope she withdraws soon because this is painful. n/t

[AtomicKitten]

24. Her meltdown on tee-vee today makes me think that is more less likely than likely.

We will see what the Clintons are prepared to do to secure this nomination. I don't think she will step aside gracefully and that, I agree, is a crying shame because it will impact the party negatively.

2. Her comments were very strong and right on point. GO HILLARY!

[Nedsdag]

9. Wow!

And you call Obama supporters cultists.

The woman has totally lost it!

[graywarrior]

3. You know, I could have gone either way at this point.

She just lost me.

[TwilightGardener]

4. Bad move by her, for sure--but I didn't see anything "borderline racist" at all.

[Rageneau]

28. How about this....

She said, "Shame on you." The word "SHAME" incorporates the word "HAM," which was the name of Noah's accursed son, whom many 'Bible believers' insist was the Father of the Negro Race.

Because of an indiscretion, Ham was cursed to be the servant of his brothers for eternity. For hundreds of years, many if not most 'ordinary' Christians used this "Hamitic curse" to justify slavery.

So when Hillary used the word "shame," she was obviously trying to send the message that Obama is black, a descendent of Ham, deserving of shame, and cursed by God Himself into inferiority.

Now, if that ain't racism, neither is anything else the Clinton campaign has said or done.

33. LOL! I don't think the Clintons are racist. I do think they tried to stir

the pot a little in their favor before the SC primary, it backfired, and they won't touch THAT hot stove ever again.

[B2G]

34. Did you forget the sarcasm tag?

Wow.

[murielm99]

5. Oh. The race card again. n/t

[jillan]

6. How the hell is that racist???

Everytime someone calls Obama out on something, does NOT imply racism.

[democrattotheend]

7. What was racist about it?

It was over the top, but I didn't hear anything race-related.

[marylanddem]

14. It was borderline racist because

to me it had the tone of a Lady of the Manor chastizing the help. Sorry, but it was SUCH bullshit.

[ruggerson]

21. Good lord

:crazy:

[democrattotheend]

31. It was bullshit, but I don't see it as racist

Let's be careful about playing the race card here. We don't like it when Clinton's supporters cry sexist over everything Obama says, and I don't think we ought to call everything HRC says racist.

[marylanddem]

32. It was patronizing as hell.

[quantass]

29. I agree, it wasn't racist at all (and i am black)

[Arkana]

8. It's a colossal pile of bullshit

Whatever happened to "I'm honored to be on stage with Barack Obama"? Or was she pandering shamelessly then, too?

Not sure about the racist thing, though...can't say I saw any implications.

[NoBushSpokenHere]

10. Her plan the other day failed - she wanted to make him become

negative - she couldn't do it, so now she is lying to make him look like he is attacking...think it will backfire on her big time! And, sorry, I just have to say this - I adore Ted Strickland and I also know how difficult it is to stand behind a speaker without appearing strange - but damn... just watching him during her tirade was absolutely hilarious! And, no I don't think the head bobbing was anything other than nodding in agreement with her. OMG I have watched this a few times and it is still just as funny as the first time I viewed it!

[TwilightGardener]

27. Reminded me of Tom Harkin, standing behind Howard Dean--kinda stunned, not sure

how to react.

[OzarkDem]

11. Go Hillary!

Obama supporters should stop playing the race card when he's caught lying.

[Quixote1818]

12. I use to really like Hillary but this campaign has brought out the worst in her. nt

[goldcanyonaz]

13. Whah, she's a racist! I'm sick of this race baiting by the Obama campaign.

[cd3dem]

18. Obama responds to Hillary at the debate referring to her remarks as "silly" --pure sexism...

would Obama debate McCain and refer to his comments/criticisms as "silly"?

of course not, this is a sexist language pattern that Obama has demonstrated through-out!

but it is okay to reduce the words of a woman and stick your nose up to her as well!

He is a sexist and he is smug!!!!

[EFerrari]

22. If you don't know racism when you hear it, that's sad for you.

The Clintons have been ugly. They need to go away.

[Danger Mouse]

15. what did she say?

[Johnny__Motown]

16. And she was so honered to share the stage with him.. what ? 32 hours earlier?

Umm.... Duplicitous?

[NC_Nurse]

17. She's full of shit. If she was ahead, she wouldn't want any more debates

either. What a bunch of crap. :eyes:

[Freida5]

20. Here we go with the racist shit again. Can't criticize the messiah

Shame on you for playing the race card in a clear dispute of the campaigns

[marylanddem]

36. Shame on her for her bullshit drama queen diatribe

[robbedvoter]

23. "borderline racist?" I thought he wasn't black now - hence not going to NOLA

[workinclasszero]

25. What a massive train wreck the Hillary for President campaign is gonna be!

The meltdown started today!:popcorn:

[tekisui]

26. What does she expect from Obama? "I's sorry missus Hillary."

"You's right. I shoudn'ta had those rallies and give them speeches. I'll do whatcha says from now on"

Let's get real. She is the shame. Does she think he is her momma?

[marylanddem]

30. I actually don't think she's as smart as she's cracked up to be...

[quantass]

35. Hmm, dont agree with you -- Not Racist at all (i am Afri-Amer)

Please don't cry wolf because i feel it devalues this word when there is a genuine cry of it...when i first heard what Hilary said today i didn't feel she was being racist in the least, and in fact when i saw your post i was "disappointed" that you'd bring it up because i view it differently. Hilary is NOT a racist! She is plain just upset because Obama continues to outplay her. She is growing more frustrated with her finance dwindling and no true working plan of attack against the Obama machine. I admire Hilary (at least before she began her evil negative campaigning) and don't think she deserves such a false claim that you're making.

Oh, and i am African-American (or is it: African-Canadian since Canada is part of North "America")?
