Obama should learn to practice what he preaches and stop causing "bickering".

[MojoMojoMojo]

Ferrarro and Bill Clinton did not make racist comments.
Analysis of voters by race is not being racist.(But voting for a particular candidate only because their race could be)
You all are making a big deal out of nothing just to elevate your candidate.
Obama is encouraging it.Obama should learn to practice what he preaches and stop causing "bickering".
So much for his words,they have no meaning.

[Occam Bandage]

1. Ferraro says Obama is only successful because he's black. Obama is to blame. Welcome to Hillworld.

[gabeana]

4. I wonder if we evaluated Hillary on her Gender

I'm sure the Hillary supporters would not call us sexist, right?

[MojoMojoMojo]

8. Shes saying he has 80% of the AA vote because hes black.

Which is true.
If Hillary were also AA ,the votes of the AA population would be more evenly distributed.
The AA population is not voting a particular way just on issues.

[jeffrey_X]

10. No that's not what she said, and AA's are only 13% of our population.

How is this such a huge advantage?

[Occam Bandage]

11. No, she's saying Obama is where he is because he's black, esp. in reference to the media.

(Clinton handily led the black vote until after Iowa, btw.)

[NYCGirl]

25. Oh, I get it. She led the black vote until people ACTUALLY STARTED VOTING!

That clears it up for me.

:rofl:

[Occam Bandage]

27. Pretty much. She led in black support.

Then, people started voting, Obama showed he was viable, and blacks started paying attention. Clinton noticed that she was losing black support, panicked, decided to downplay Obama's rising support by playing Super Racebait GoGoGo before SC, and then woke up the next morning and noticed that all her black support had evaporated.

[NYCGirl]

28. If she really wants to go after Pastor Wright, she'll lose ALL the African American

voters in the US, not just a large majority of them.

[RazBerryBeret]

23. how

do you explain Iowa?

[NYCGirl]

26. Iowa

doesn't count, of course.

:hi:

[RazBerryBeret]

29. ahhh,

I keep forgetting! thanks for the reminder!

[LakeSamish706]

2. Oh really, not only did Ferrarro make racist comments recently she made them in 1988 as well. n/t

[oviedodem]

3. Lets see:

1. Ferrarro and Bill Clinton did not make racist comments.

I agree on Bill NOT Ferraro - Please!!


2. You all are making a big deal out of nothing just to elevate your candidate.

Not true.


3. Obama is encouraging it.Obama should learn to practice what he preaches and stop causing "bickering".

You must be joking.

[skooooo]

5. ignored list

[ChairmanAgnostic]

6. I've had. you guys win. so long

as there are paid political liars and dissemblers coming here in such force, twisting the truth in favor of their queen, I am withdrawing and going on a sabatical.

All these low # members, all on message, all spewing the same shit.

the worst part is that they KNOW that they are lying, because the only alternative is that they are off their meds and simply not in our universe. In fact, I do believe I will repeat this message on a diary.

[otohara]

7. Just Goes To Show Ya

depending on which side you're on, people hear what they want to hear.

[DarienComp]

9. my god.

She wasn't analyzing the damn voters! She said what she said: "If Obama was white, he wouldn't be in this position."

and you know something? Even if it were true, which it bloody isn't, it's still a shitty and offensive thing to say. Disgusting that people are still defending it.

[MojoMojoMojo]

12. So if someone says if Hillary were AA she wouldnt be losing,that would be racist?

[DarienComp]

15. Not only would it be racist, but stupid as well.

If I told you that if Hillary were a MAN, she would've had lost already, would you not think that I'm sexist? And would you not be correct?

[MojoMojoMojo]

20. Not at all sexist IMO. What do feminists think ?She has some support from women that

she may not have if she were a man.Is it sexist to point that out?
Educate me please.

[DarienComp]

21. Purposefully obtuse.

If I came out and said that Hillary Clinton is getting special treatment because everyone is enthralled by the fact that she's a woman (which is equivilent to what Ferraro said about Obama), that's a sexist thing to say. It implies that women don't have the intelligence to make their own decisions, and vote based purely on gender.

Honestly, I'm surprised that some Clinton supporters, who perceive sexism in benign words like "periodically" and "claws" can't grasp this idea.

[MojoMojoMojo]

22. That is only what you construe,it is not at all implied in the statement.

"It implies that women don't have the intelligence to make their own decisions, and vote based purely on gender.
Posted by DarienComp"
Thats why I think Obama is manufacturing bickering over nothing.

[Window]

13. You need to get your mojo fixed.

[MojoMojoMojo]

14. Anyway, my point is to look at whos causing the Bickering.OBAMA

[RememberWellstone]

16. Agreed

He is complaining way too much. I cannot wait until he officially claims the race card. It will happen.

[JBoy]

17. Uh, no.

[grantcart]

18. what words are you referring to - do you have a link?

[K Gardner]

19. I'm sick of posters coming here to do nothing but flamebait and cause trouble, so I'm

engaging my ignore list starting today. You're first.

[RazBerryBeret]

24. OMG,

You're right. Obama could stop all this bickering right now...
if only he'd stop being black......
WTF?
