Did you guys know that LBJ would throw nude parties at the white house?
He had a nasty habit of showing his penis to almost everyone who worked for him. That's almost a quote from one of them. When he was asked why he invaded Hanoi, he said "to prove I had a bigger penis than [Vietnamese name I don't remember]."
Lol so based on that... why do you think he had JFK killed?
Because JFK had a bigger penis! I swear to god, it is almost that simple.
Uh, yeah it takes a president and legislatures working together to make laws that transforms "words" and "dreams" into realities. WHICH is why Obama is NOT running for the debate team but President of the United States. Clinton's comment has no logic attached to the criticism she's launching. Obama is seeking presidential power with a popular vote mandate to make good on his words- isn't that the whole point of running for President?
She has a point, Lyndon Johnson doesn't get as much credit as MLK does and he/his administration were responsible for the passing of the civil rights bill
It was Martin Luther King who got Lyndon Johnson to sign the Civil Rights Bill. Johnson didnt care about blacks, he cared about being elected in 1964. This never would have happened if it hadnt been for Martin Luther King. He was the one who constantly went to jail for his cause to end discrimination, not Lyndon Johnson.
"Direct action is not a substitute for work in the courts and the halls of government. Bringing about passage of a new and broad law by a city council, state legislature, or the Congress, or pleading cases before the courts of the land, does not eliminate the necessity for bringing about the mass dramatization of injustice in front of a city hall.
Indeed, direct action and legal action complement one another. When skillfully employed, each becomes more effective."
i dont understand why alot of these comments are bashing Hillary, she's not down playing MLK's idea and hope of change through a dream. she's saying his dream is the thought and intentions for change, LBJ is the one who passed the civil rights act, so MLK thought it, LBJ enforced it! no credit taken away from neither.
Hillary Clinton is a neo-Nazi. Don't vote for her, she represents white supremacy and the scare tactics of yesterday.
It's sad that America is trying to get someone in office AFTER her husband lied about ORAL SEX with a 22 year old intern (whose vagina he scarred with a cigar) while she was getting her "experience" in the office
You need a president to sign off on an act to become law. Is Martin Luther King a legislation? MLK's dreams were real and what Hillary meant for those who are not ignant and actually heard the whole thing was that Vice president Lynden B. Johnson signed an act that struck congress that change was really going to happen and not only talk. (This act got congress's attention!!)That was all she meant!!Yes Mlk did the work but whats gonna happen if it ain't law dumb asses?
ugh...you guys are all stupid. what she said is correct, she was in no way implying that what dr. king went through wasn't amazing, all she was saying is that an average person cannot make a change in the GOVERNMENT. it takes a politician to do that. since dr. king wasn't one, all he did was change the hearts and lives of millions of americans. that is nothing short of a miracle, but this was not her point. why are people today so ignorant?
first of all an educated man would know that a durogatory remark, is the one thing any one would expect from a race that blames every thing on any body they can get over it already!!!! you dont see the mexicans crying about how unfair life is their still slaves get over yourself's you all are just voting for a balck man none of the minority actually knows what obama stands for all you knoow hes a black man know black man is as great as king jr their all political uncle toms can you say sellout
I think that MLK would have been a footnote in history, if Bush had been president at the time instead of JFK or LBJ. Bush would have jailed MLK for violating the Patriot Act, and Civil Rights would have died.
I like Hillary, but what she doesn't realize is that Dr. Kings dream has nothing to do with a piece of legislation, it has to do with mans heart being able to see past color and look at a mans character, when we can see each other as equals, the the dream comes true.
Reading between the lines: Blacks need the permission of white liberals to achieve equality.
Not only does Hillary minimize the work of Dr. King, she minimized the work of hundreds of thousands who were hosed down, arrested, lynched/murdered or harassed in the Civil Rights movement.
Clinton's comment on MLK's role in driving Civil Rights in America. For her to say that Dr. King was "important", but the "real driving force" for Civil Rights in America was President Johnson (LBJ) because he "signed" the Civil Rights Legislation is crazy. How can she not consider the effort of a man (MLK) who forced the hand of a nation, its President, to recognize people of color. Let's be clear, LBJ signed the Legislation because of the "driving force" presented by Dr. King.
I think Hillary was saying here that it took a president to take kings dream from dream to beginning of reality. Also that Obama is no president. He's no MLK for that matter either. He never should have said "Sorry guys the dream will die,it can't be done." He started it.He's a dummy. He is out of his league.
I had to listen to it about 20 times... but I didn't hear any racist remarks?!?!?!
Can someone help me?!
I don't see anything racist about this. She said it took LBJ to finally get something through legislation...indicating the importance of presidency and how people need to work together.
This is so typical way of America, certain 'groups' always try to add race to something that isn't there.
I'm so sick of this shit. If you want respect, earn it.
that's funny..whites add race to stuff when it's not a race issue also..but when they do it,it's OK. There are many examples of black people who never mention race and when they try to do something, someone else brings in race...so it's not just certain groups.
Also, can you explain why Hilary brought up MLK in the first place. What was the POINT of her analogy. Why would you compare your OPPONENT to MLK and then proceed to talk about the actions of a president? Explain that...

KING's DREAM BEGAN WHEN JOHNSON PASSED CIVIL RIGHTS. HE WAS ABLE TO GET SOMETHING KENNEDY WAS HOPEFUL, PRESIDENT BEFORE HAD NOT TRIED, BUT IT TOOK A PRESIDENT (LBJ) TO GET IT DONE. DREAM BECAME A REALITY, BECAUSE PRESIDENT (LBJ) SAID TO DO IT AND GOT IT DONE.
I would and I would point to the fact that Dr. KING's DREAM BEGAN to be realized WHEN President Lyndon JOHNSON PASSED the CIVIL RIGHTS act of 1964. When HE WAS ABLE TO GET through Congress SOMETHING that President KENNEDY WAS HOPEFUL to do, PRESIDENT BEFORE HAD NOT even TRIED, BUT IT TOOK A PRESIDENT (LBJ) TO GET IT DONE. That DREAM BECAME A REALITY, the power of that dream became real in people's lives, BECAUSE we had a PRESIDENT (LBJ) who SAID we are going TO DO IT AND actually GOT IT DONE.
I would and I would point to the fact that Dr. King's dream began to be realized when President Lyndon Johnson passed the civil rights act of 1964. When he was able to get through Congress something that President Kennedy was hopeful to do, President before had not even tried, but it took a President to get it done. That dream became a reality, the power of that dream became real in people's lives, because we had a President who said we are going to do it and actually got it done.
Attending the MLK speech is something that moved Hillary to become a DEMOCRAT in the first place. It then, is what ultimately resulted in her stepping down from her position at Wellesley College as President of the Young Republicans to participate in the coming fight for civil rights for African Americans. This is something she has fought for HER WHOLE LIFE. It is now being discredited by those who would rather see someone else as the Democratic nominee.
I'd like to thank unhappy individuals for further dividing our party--making something out of, not a whole lot (and you know it). I think you know and I know VERY WELL how important Martin Luther King was and is to her and what it means to the Democratic Party. Many of us weren't born when she attended a MLK speech in "Chi-town."
Why did Obama introduce MLK and race into the debate in the first place?
Obama and his lackeys did the same thing when Bill Clinton criticized his Iraq war positions - Again we're told by Obama and his lackeys that the comments were "troubling" and that there were "racial connotations". Absolutely hysterical.
Oh, and we're expected to believe voters in NH turned out to be "racists" as well. After all, Obama lost.
I just have to say, this is ridiculous. Anyone that listened to what she was actually saying would realize, that she was not making a racist comment and was not saying it takes a white man to get something done!! The fact that this is even being escalated, just shows how ignorant people are.
ill probaly never vote because thats the way i am but if i had to i would vote for mit romney im morman and i like republican veiws more than democratic
Hillary made no comparison of MLK to LBJ at all. She merely stated that MLK's dream began to be realized after LBJ signed the Civil Rights act of 1964. That is true.
OUTTHETUBE- I advise you to think critically. I challenge you to pick apart her exact quote and point out piece by piece how she offended you. Please do this for us, so we can better understand your stance.
My AZ man Barry Goldwater was not a racist, nor was his opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. We, even I, may have reservations or conflict with that line of thought in that time in our history, but he should be recognized as the strict ideologue that he was, not a racist. He said that the government cannot legislate morality. Racists could understandable favor his position, but for their own reasons.
TheWickedWitch, it didn't cloud anything, your perception of reality is yours. I made truthful points and posted them in a few places. Not a thousand place, but a small few I thought were worthy places after reading comments left by other posters.
if you base your votes on political ads or what they said/did in the media instead of where the candidates stand on the issues, then DON'T VOTE!!!! This latest media debacle is living proof of the dumbing down of America.
oh come on! really? you think that mlk, dynamic though he was, was really gonna make something happen without the backing of a president? all she's saying is that it took his initiative to spur lbj to do great things in the world. mlk couldn't have done them on his own. and if obama is gonna play the black vicitim card, we don't need him as president...he may be on welfare before his term's up.
There are less black people on welfare compare to caucasians (Partly because blacks are a minority) and it is Clinton here doing freely the talking and not being dictated in any form or shape whatsoever by Obama.She is TOO OLD to put the blame on others;just look at her old face!she should assume responsability for her blunders if she has any leadership skill in her!!!
i'm sure had she made a blunder she would consider taking responsibility, but what she's saying is that it took a president to help mlk's dreams come alive. she's simply saying that she can be that kind of president. she can make dreams reality if given the chance. she's not "dissing" mlk.
I wissh bias CNN could play this video materiel and stop throwing on us the amended damage control multiple-versions of this hookers statements...She has just lost my vote!
Wow. I missed it. Could one of the Obama race-baiters quote the exact text where Hillary supposedly "disses" MLK?
F'ing laughable.
Obama continues to feign victimhood in the name of black people everywhere whenever anyone criticizes him or, in this case, when they respond to the insulting comparison HE MADE of himself to MLK.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Obama's campaing is using the race card here. No question about it. No where here do I hear Hillary making ay racist nor diminishing D King.
The issue here is Obama is using this to deviate attention from his no record while in the Senate, his flip flop voting record on many of his votes, his Muslim background, his lack of experience.
The Clintons planned for Obama to play off of his race, but he didn't so they strategically injected race into the campaign. After it blew up in their face they tried to make it look like Obama was the culprit. Think about it, the Clintons never make political moves without thinking them through, even Dick Morris (Clinton's former strategist) said they would use race against Obama. Their motto, "Whatever it takes".
Obama is a product of the "change" that Dr King spoke of in his "I have a Dream" speech. He embodies the best of two races.
If a biracial person with European ancestry can't have a fair shake at the Presidency, then there is little hope for other minorities. Look at how Governor Richardson was overlooked, even with all of his experience and qualifications.
Listen to the statment. Some of you have selective hearing. When our country heads into a depression greater than the one in the 1930's because of the way you vote. Don't ask us for a loan. (In 1992) It's the economy stupid.
She actually DID 'dis' MLK!!! And now she blames the Obama camp for "distorting" what she "actually" said. Hmmmmmmm... it can only be a very crude attempt to blow smoke over her OWN grave distortion -- if not outright DISMISSAL -- of one great man's enormous impact upon the collective conscience of Americans in a very dark phase of our past. She gives FAR too much credit to the man who just happened to be standing next to the light switch when we all found ourselves standing in the dark.
That statement actually backfires her intent in discrediting Obama. If she's implying that it took a president to bring King's dream into reality, then wouldn't it make sense to give a person who has that dream the legislative power to act upon it?
Wow.. I'm not trying to be a drama queen here, but what she said there was extremely disrespectful. I know she probably didn't intend for it to seem like that, but that's what it was. She actually belittled what Dr. King had to go through for our Country to see the error of its ways and finally do something about it. If Dr. King didn't fight for the dream as much as he did would Johnson or anyone else have stood up to do something about it?
You blacks are all over-reacting to Hillary's comments and you know it. You can't face the fact that Hillary was putting MLK in his rightful historic place and you're simply using this to hurt her and help Obama. It's phony, like when you all supported OJ over his victim, Nicole Brown (just because he was black and she was white & blond). I will never believe a word you blacks say again.
Of course she is a racist...that's why she was able to make the kind of "blunder" that she did...and now claim that (Obama) people are TWISTING her words.
1st, she says there's no point for Obama's supporters to have the hope that MLK's supporters had for him & his ideals. It's her opinion. 2nd, says that it takes a strong president to make the right changes to improve the US. The people can wish for this and wish for that, but if the congress and president don't want it to happen...it won't! She says she's a strong enough leader to do this, and that Barak is not. SO, what's wrong with this? NOTHING!
It is funny when candidates try to bend history to their own political ends.I'm wondering what else she'll come up with;If it hadn't been for FW de Klerk, Nelson
Mandela wouldn't have got anywhere.
India owes its independence to Ernest Bevin, not Gandhi.And of course, America is free today thanks largely to the much underrated and politically experienced Lord Shelborne, rather than dreamers like George Washington and his friends.
What's more important? The dream or putting the dream into action? It's the dream that matters - this is what drives us - inspires us to move forward. Without the dream there is no cause for action.
It amazes me how many people underestimate the power of the presidency-- even those who are living through the era of the worst president in history. We want to believe anyone can be president--We vote with our feelings, not our brains. I am very inspired by Obama, but Hillary has been through the storm and come out the other side. Obama should be president after Hillary-- it will take that long to clean up the mess Bush has left.
Wrong. This jerk needs to go away. The fact that the republicans WANT to run against her should be a tip off about the scandals we are in for. This comment was so repugnant that she needs to apologize to MLK's family. Dispicable
Lyndon Johnson began America's direct involvement in the ground war in Vietnam. By 1968 there were 550,000 American soldiers inside Vietnam; in 1967 and 1968 they were being killed at the rate of over 1000 a month.
On the other hand, Martin Luther King Jr won the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to setup civil rights.
Clinton's premise is false, Presidents don't all of a sudden make a federal law and change magically appears on the ground. It's a President who responds to people's needs demanding it themselves, and that makes sure there's POLITICAL WILL to enforce the law when needed.
Bottom line: 1000's of normal, unsung folks made King's dream a reality not a single President.
That is PRECISELY what she said! Oh my God! While MLK had a dream, it moved these President's...JFK, etc...to pass civil rights act....And Lyndon Johnson was finally able to pass this act, and do so. People are COMPLETELY misinterpretting it, and blowing it WAY out of proportion.
It was the grassroots organizing that pressured Kennedy and Johnson to ACT. Civil Rights Act didn't do shit for the hard realities of people GETTING HANGED AND SHOT IN MISSISSIPPI and all over the country. Hence the wave of violence after, and hence the Freedom Summer that led to the Voting Rights Act. (Reference Stokley Carmichael's biography)
This bitch won because she cried on television in front of million of viewers. Let's not forget 57% of the vote in NH where women. Most women are senstive to this kind of shitty politics. This Bitch will never be president. No one wants 4 more years of Bill Clinton of getting his dick sucked my White House interns.
She's not portraying it as a balanced equation; she's putting all of the weight on the role of the President, the guy who sits in his office and signs the bill. And when she says President, she means herself. Let's think, Clinton or King?
Hilary in no way tried to take credit away from MLK by saying that LBJ played an active role in passing the Civil Rights Act. He twisted quite a few arms to get that to pass and he rightfully deserves credit that.
As an activist MLK did what was necessary to convince the public that it was the right thing to do, and LBJ completed the equation by using his influence. It's ridiculous to say that Hilary desrespected MLK when she did no such thing.
Obama's running for president too you idiot, and he's kicking your ass. Maybe he can inspire with speech as well as sign bills into law in the oval office.
She doesn't even know Eisenhower. "The president before him" indeed. She should go back to the script and stop making herself available to the press. But I think it might be all over for her with this latest in an unbelievable series of the most asinine and idiotic statements.
Did you even see the video? She didn't "diss" MLK, she just said that actions are necessary to back up dreams. Obviously, MLK was not president, so it wasn't about him somehow failing--at all.
And I say this as an Edwards supporter who'll likely support Obama if my guy doesn't get the nomination. Seriously. Major projection.
Come ON. Who is running this campaign??? LBJ was a fair weather friend at best of civil rights. It was the Civil Rights Movement, and Dr. King in particular, that got this done. LBJ signed the act. Hillary is making Barack Obama's case for him with this astounding gaffe. We really need people with bold ideas.
Damn, I guess we just "dreamed" that Dr. King was going to jail, folks were getting food dumped on them at food counters, and people got blistered by fire hoses. One helluva "dream with no action" huh Hilary?
Way to go Hillary - can't wait to see you go to South Carolina and support that quote. She is finished - you have not only marginalized a great American, but you have also lost the vote of millions of people. Future generations will look at this footage as your final stand.
I kinda liked her before, but now I am furious. She totally disregarded the role of African Americans in the civil rights movement. Hillary actually believes that only politicians can do things. Obama believes in the people, Hillary talks like she is better than us.
I support Obama, but still had respect for her. But after this comment and disrespect to one of the greatest American leader MLK, I have lost ALL RESPECT for this woman. How dare she dis-credit the work of MLK.
Seriously. Denigrating one of the most beloved figures in American history (who is beloved for some very good reasons) is not the wisest campaign strategy.
No she's responding to a quote from Obama who took her "false hope" stattement from the debate out of context to say that's like saying MLK was giving false hope. Please don't turn this into yet another overamplified story that would divide the community as no one needs that right now. This is a desperate attempt by the media to create a stupid story that doesn't exist.
No, She is basically saying that Pre. Ly was the reason why the law got past. I agree yes he did but, she did not acknowledge MLK or the many people that fought for civil rights. MLK had a dream, if there was no dream then do you honestly think that pres. ly would have passed that law?
She was asked 2defend her comment which was taken out of context. She made the not giving false hopes comment when defending herself as an agent of change by already having a record of making ve+ change, giving confidence in her abillity to make further change with regards to getting bills passed through Congress 2 become reality. It was unfair 2 suggest her comment was saying MLK was giving false hopes, so it wasn't a direct question on how the Civil Rights Act was formed & passed.
Did you even listen to it? She said, "Dr. King's dream began to be realized when President Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act". Credit is given to both of these figures in this statement.
She just basically said "authority is freedom."
Did you guys know that LBJ would throw nude parties at the white house?
He had a nasty habit of showing his penis to almost everyone who worked for him. That's almost a quote from one of them. When he was asked why he invaded Hanoi, he said "to prove I had a bigger penis than [Vietnamese name I don't remember]."

When HE WAS ABLE TO GET through Congress SOMETHING that President KENNEDY WAS HOPEFUL to do, PRESIDENT BEFORE HAD NOT even TRIED, BUT IT TOOK A PRESIDENT (LBJ) TO GET IT DONE. That DREAM BECAME A REALITY, the power of that dream became real in people's lives, BECAUSE we had a PRESIDENT (LBJ) who SAID we are going TO DO IT AND actually GOT IT DONE.

Attending the MLK speech is something that moved Hillary to become a DEMOCRAT in the first place. It then, is what ultimately resulted in her stepping down from her position at Wellesley College as President of the Young Republicans to participate in the coming fight for civil rights for African Americans. This is something she has fought for HER WHOLE LIFE. It is now being discredited by those who would rather see someone else as the Democratic nominee.

I'd like to thank unhappy individuals for further dividing our party--making something out of, not a whole lot (and you know it). I think you know and I know VERY WELL how important Martin Luther King was and is to her and what it means to the Democratic Party. Many of us weren't born when she attended a MLK speech in "Chi-town."

Why did Obama introduce MLK and race into the debate in the first place?
Obama and his lackeys did the same thing when Bill Clinton criticized his Iraq war positions - Again we're told by Obama and his lackeys that the comments were "troubling" and that there were "racial connotations". Absolutely hysterical.
Oh, and we're expected to believe voters in NH turned out to be "racists" as well. After all, Obama lost.

I just have to say, this is ridiculous. Anyone that listened to what she was actually saying would realize, that she was not making a racist comment and was not saying it takes a white man to get something done!! The fact that this is even being escalated, just shows how ignorant people are.

Hilary just effectively slapped every single Black person in the face with those sickening words.
1) Whether people knew it or not, racism were a set of laws (and still are), inspired by White genetic survival.
2) MLK's view were natural humanistic ones really requiring no laws but commonsense; meaning Whites are naturally inhumane.
Clinton knew exactly what she was doing and it is clear Hilary has already been chosen to be the next president.

Hillary made no comparison of MLK to LBJ at all. She merely stated that MLK's dream began to be realized after LBJ signed the Civil Rights act of 1964. That is true.

My AZ man Barry Goldwater was not a racist, nor was his opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. We, even I, may have reservations or conflict with that line of thought in that time in our history, but he should be recognized as the strict ideologue that he was, not a racist. He said that the government cannot legislate morality. Racists could understandable favor his position, but for their own reasons.

The Clintons are sociopaths.
The Clintons planned for Obama to play off of his race, but he didn't so they strategically injected race into the campaign. After it blew up in their face they tried to make it look like Obama was the culprit. Think about it, the Clintons never make political moves without thinking them through, even Dick Morris (Clinton's former strategist) said they would use race against Obama. Their motto, "Whatever it takes".

Obama is a product of the "change" that Dr King spoke of in his "I have a Dream" speech. He embodies the best of two races.
If a biracial person with European ancestry can't have a fair shake at the Presidency, then there is little hope for other minorities. Look at how Governor Richardson was overlooked, even with all of his experience and qualifications.

She gives FAR too much credit to the man who just happened to be standing next to the light switch when we all found ourselves standing in the dark.

That statement actually backfires her intent in discrediting Obama. If she's implying that it took a president to bring King's dream into reality, then wouldn't it make sense to give a person who has that dream the legislative power to act upon it?

Wow.. I'm not trying to be a drama queen here, but what she said there was extremely disrespectful. I know she probably didn't intend for it to seem like that, but that's what it was. She actually belittled what Dr. King had to go through for our Country to see the error of its ways and finally do something about it. If Dr. King didn't fight for the dream as much as he did would Johnson or anyone else have stood up to do something about it?

It's her opinion. 2nd, says that it takes a strong president to make the right changes to improve the US. The people can wish for this and wish for that, but if the congress and president don't want it to happen...it won't! She says she's a strong enough leader to do this, and that Barak is not.

Hilary in no way tried to take credit away from MLK by saying that LBJ played an active role in passing the Civil Rights Act. He twisted quite a few arms to get that to pass and he rightfully deserves credit that.
As an activist MLK did what was necessary to convince the public that it was the right thing to do, and LBJ completed the equation by using his influence. It's ridiculous to say that Hilary desrespected MLK when she did no such thing.
