Day one: without an apology to all women of color from the Clinton Camp.
Edited on Mon Jan-14-08 12:48 PM by Perky
Bob Johnson is a lying mysonigistic sack of poo It was takcy for him to bring up the use of drugs in the fist place ,,but it was tackier to lie about it.....what is the mosty tacky is how the Clintons ever allowed him on stage given the craven crap he puts on BET.

10. Viacom and Sumner Redstone own BET
which Johnson sold to them a few years ago. If anything, the African American community should apologize to African American women as that's, evidently, what the community wants to watch on BET.

But good luck on trying to hang everything under the sun around Hillary's neck.

18. although not a fan of BET nor a member of their target audience
I believe their content has become more rap video oriented and further away from the direction Mr. Johnson had tried to take it in (talk shows, information shows, even shades -- with one news show -- of a "black CNN" at one point) initially before he sold it.

But that wasn't what the target audience wanted (or wants) to see. Ergo, more rap videos.

2. Bill Clinton has been on a couple of morning programs
and he said they won't apologize for it. Bill said he accepts Bob's explanation that he wasn't talking about drug use.

5. then what was this guy supposed to be talking about is the question.
The Clinton's are really damaging themselves among AA voters. If Hillary is nominated she is going to have a tough time winning if the AA vote (which is the Dems most loyal) feels betrayed.

9. I agree
I can't help but wonder what they were thinking to even have Bob Johnson campaigning for her. He is not held in high esteem in a large segment of the Black community. Some of her black staffers should have told her this.

This makes her look out of touch.

21. As was previously mentioned, he doesn't own BET. What would be the point
of judging him for someone else's content? The answer is none.

Distortionists. Why are so many in your camp?

4. I didn't have much of a problem with what he said initially. His disingenuous explanation, though...
Edited on Mon Jan-14-08 12:42 PM by SteppingRazor
was fucking ridiculous. Even more absurd was the Clinton campaign saying completely straight-faced that they accepted that explanation at face value.

Look, sling mud around and bring up this crap all you want -- this is a political campaign, it's going to get nasty. But don't insult my intelligence by saying you weren't slinging mud when you've got dirt all over your hands.

11. This from you who suggested that all women who went to Wellesley
are Lesbians.

You have no credibility when it comes to women so stop talking and looking like a clown
