1. Playing the race card was the best thing Obama ever did.

Look how far it's got him. Now anyone who doesn't automatically genuflect to him is a racist.

Of sexism, we hear nothing.

Nor do we hear from all the other races and people who comprise America. Bush liked to trot them out. I guess Obama will get around to it eventually.

2. I can't wait until the primaries are over

This is not only not racist, it's very annoying.

3. Its not really racism its stereotyping

The Clintons are so rich and so out of touch with mainstream american all they have is the stereotype of people. Ghandi ran a gas station the indian guy at the 7-11 stereotype. Southerners not speaking proper english with a twang another stereotype. Black man getting to where he is because he is black another stereotype. All the stereotypes are wrong and completely out of touch but thats the Clintons for ya. You know most of them are jokes and you know Rich white people make stereotypical (some could call it racist) jokes like that all the time. They don't think its a big deal because when they are at their cocktail party with their friends saying these kinds of jokes everybody laughs.

4. The problem is...

the Clintons are in positions of power that rule over those they stereotype. THAT is a problem.

5. When it works to his advantage Obama"s Camp has no problem with racism

When congressman John Lewis was pressured by black voters and black delegates to drop his support of Hillary Clinton. There was no outrage. There ware no accusations of racism..or reverse racism. There was no mention of it here on DU. There is no outrage here when Hillary has been referred to as a b**ch,witch, w*ore, monster, fluffer, hysterical, those were just a few names off the top of my head. I for one am glad that finally Americans have little tolerance for racism...too bad that that doesn't hold true for sexism.

Military-Industrial Complex Speech, Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961

http://coursesa.matrix.msu.edu/~hst306/documents/indust.html

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.

Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.

In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.

(snip)

We pray that peoples of all faiths, all races, all nations, may have their great human needs satisfied; that those now denied opportunity shall come to enjoy it to the full; that all who yearn for freedom may experience its spiritual blessings; that those who have freedom will understand, also, its heavy responsibilities; that all who are insensitive to the needs of others will learn charity; that the scourges of poverty, disease and ignorance will be made to disappear from the earth, and that, in the goodness of time, all peoples will come to live together in a peace guaranteed by the binding force of mutual respect and love.

............

That was 1961 - 47 years ago - warning from a Republican President - where are we now? And if you don't think HRC's vote on the Iraq War and the Kyle-Liberman Bill aren't connected, think again.
