NOT Hillary Clinton For President.
Hillary played on America’s weakness of Racism at an attempt secure an election. She tried to bulldoze another Democratic Candidate by Race-Baiting the Public.
She and her Campaign knew that Racism still is a delicate and touchy subject today for many Americans. Hillary and her Campaign played on America’s weakness.

I feel humiliated by what Hillary Clinton pulled. I feel like I have been made a fool of. Does anyone else?

Sorry Hillary, we are not stupid like you think we are. We are not weak like you think we are!


We can see right through you. We are on to you and your Campaign's sleazy dirty low down tactics.

I don't trust Hillary Clinton. What will be the next group of people she will bait an attack on just to get ahead?

Vote for someone real. Vote for someone you can trust. (And that's NOT Warmongering McCain either)

Vote for the only person you can trust in this Presidential Race!

Vote Barack Obama!!!

10. The quote is scary because it is completely out of context.
The quote is from a conversation she had with Dennis Hastert in 1993 concerning medical savings accounts. There are many, including myself, that have a great deal of concern about MSA's, particularly if they are imposed on people in poverty. My concern is that someone who doesn't have enough food may forgo medical care in order to access their MSA funds.

She was speaking against MSA's and in favor of a system that would not place people in the position of having to choose which essential services they should access.

Putting this quote up out of context is irresponsible. Not doing your own research on it to discover it's context is also irresponsible.

3. She didn't have a twenty year relationship with a racist spiritual advisor.
Edited on Fri Mar-21-08 01:34 PM by Skip Intro

Please don't talk to me about Hillary's supposed race-baiting when I've seen the Obama camp try to make Bill and Hillary out to be racists; when I've seen Obama's spiritual mentor make her out to be the AA community's public enemy number one; and when I've seen your political savior throw his own grandmother under the bus for being white.

Many more people now see Obama for the marketing sham that he is.

14. Obama is half-White and Half-Black.
He is not typical. So what else is he going to call an all White person? :shrug:

With that explanation I don't understand how you perceive any negativity in that statement.

5. Vote for Victimhood! Vote for Obama!
Obama's success has been increased by claiming to have been the victim of an unfair attack at least once every two days. To review his campaign is to remember once instance after another where Axelrod was complaining of unfair treatment and the MSM was cooperating by blaming Clinton for it.

Can we afford a president who is constantly feeling sorry for himself and blaming others?

9. I don't see Obama feeling sorry for himself
at all. Maybe a little of the mirror effect going on with you?

11. Um...

Peace!

12. And I am White.
I should have added this to the O.P. I am not even Black. I feel as if I was baited, but of course I didn't bite.

I never thought the Race issue would get so misinterpreted even here on DU, as it appears to be, even this many days later, so something had to be said.
