Hillary Clinton: LBJ more important to civil rights than MLK

[truthIsStranger]

There is nothing wrong with this reporting. There are a lot more people working at FOX than I ever thought who actually care about the truth. I used to just rip on it from a distance while people cherry picked video clips for me, but there has been a little tiny glimmer of intelligence at FOX lately... it just doesn't seem to be very high up. Propaganda still gets done, for sure, but not by everyone.

[dannyd1572]

FINALLY! I'm glad someone said it!

[TracyInsomiac]

Wow, That was one of the worst pieces of reporting I have ever seen

[robnum1]

it is after all fox news, LMAO!

[PeaceGod12]

I think you are looking for a sort of legitmacy in a political apparatus that is by its very nature corrupt!!

[ajax42186]

Watch the whole clip.... thats not what she said at all!

[bronxbomber824]

He is paraphrasing. That is exactly what she said.

Jesus H Christ

there are no "tactic" behind this

this, sadly, could be an intelligent discussion about the difficulties of enacting Important Laws that serve to improve the lives of AfrAms AND others. Ms C is responding the fact that OB continually compares himself to MLK and she is segwaying this into the Experience Issue and what an incredibly long and difficult road MLK went down due to the challenging governing process.

duh!

[cygapb]

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.

[cygapb]

This is what she said... Don't need to speculate because it speaks for itself.

[outthetube]

A great part of White culture is learning how to act to conceal the strong underling current of their poisonous racism towards Blacks. Clinton publically told America that Obama's leadership skill was a waste of time and his unification message was false hope just as White America viewed MLK's. She also made it clear that votes don't get you in, but few powerful Whites do.

[dikdik1313]

Do you have any links to actual data supporting these claims? A video of her saying it or a transcript of an interview?

[nativeskygirl]

brilliant

Go ahead and believe that "white Am" is something first off, so finite (in case you haven't noticed, we are becoming more & more a mixed heritage society than ever b4, hence the section on the Census called "Other")

and 2ndly that anyone who doesn't look EXACTLY like you is automatically believes racist views and yur gonna live one miserable life. Instill this belief in your children & you might as well lock them in a box. God help you

[BigWaaz]

nativeskygirl, the box you already live is far worse then the would be box I would live in. If God hadn't helped me, I wouldn't see through the bullshit and articulate it as freely as I want. Mybe you're the one who needs God's help.

[dikdik1313]

The true racists are the one going around pointing out that MLK was black and LBJ and JFK were white. That is a separation of race. A true non-racist would view them all as simply people fighting for equal rights!

[outthetube]

dikdik1313, the fabric of Clinton's mind is racism; you can't get any truer than that. This racism is covered up via volatile tolerance. The moment any racist White feels threatened, that very thin layer of tolerance is removed and the pure racism which lies underneath comes out.

I'm not even an Obama supporter or any candidate support, but I deal with studying the psychological patterns of people, and I'm confidently saying Clinton is a racist, White supremacist and has always been.

[cygapb]

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.

[owens1936]

I guess we should change it to Lyndon Baines Johnson Day. What an idiotic thing for Hillary to say. LBJ did the reaction but King (and others way before him)started the action. As much as I love King I also love those who paved the way for him (i.e. Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. DuBois). Hillary needs a history lesson.

[JesusHChristofLDS]

FOX NEWS is well known as being a horribly unprofessional "news" organization, totally void of critical thought or objectivity, something I stress. I only watch FOX for live coverage of someone speaking. Any "reporting" is highly suspect. Please educate yourself about FOX in general. Many "journalists" play with QUOTES by mis-quoting, and/or taking quotes out of context etc. This happens in all media,all the time, and is totally unacceptable in the search for truth. FOX is the worst.

[elevennco11ins]

Question? Was it not Kennedy who initiated Congress to move forward with Legislation regarding civil rights and was the first president to deem it as a "moral issue." LBJ just happened to finish what JFK started, but he gets all the credit. Anyways, clearly MLK was more important to civil rights than LBJ and anyone who thinks otherwise has no knowledge of history.

[outthetube]

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.

[dikdik1313]

That is some of the most racist crap I have ever read. You are a monster!

[dikdik1313]

[fairwitness1111]

Fascinating.

1) Listen to Clinton's actual statement.

2) Listen to the reporters remarks

3) Read the headline of this video

Nothing but incremental embellishment and exaggeration, all in the name of creating a "story" out of absolutely nothing.

This will tell you everything you need to know about how the media (and, yes, people on the web) distort things in the name of news "analysis" and promoting an agenda.

[JesusHChristofLDS]

Your are so very correct. This is worse than "sound bite" media. 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.

[nativeskygirl]

it is astonishing isn't it?

if you wanna totally lose all hope in humanity, read the column in the nyTimes written by Bob Herbert. he tries to interpret Bill C's discussion of Obama's stand on Iraq as dismissing his entire campaign. and says HC's discussion on Civil Rights movement was "taking a cheap shot"

delusional & hell bent on misleading readers. wuts up w/ the times employing this fucktard?

[falawewe]

And why do black people like the clintons again?

[rydar1978]

This news reporter guy is lying...That is Not what hilliary said.

By the way, I'm BLACK so don't accuse me of being racist against blacks.

[SUBZERO617]

Big mistake...

[NotreCongo]

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.

[nativenyc]

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.

[blackenuf4ya]

If MLK hadn't turned up the pressure on racist politicians to do the right thing, LBJ wouldn't have felt the need to change anything, because the system was working quite well for them as it was. After all, they created it to do just that.

That's why MLK was murdered and LBJ was not - LBJ wasn't a threat - MLK was!

[lafjdw]

So this idiot is the one responsible for how this silly rumor has spread. He has completely misinterpreted what she said. HRC obviously sees herself as the LBJ here, but not to the detriment of MLK; she is simply arguing that a President is elected to impiement dreams. Shame on this guy.

[kubrick09mp]

This a flagrant misrepresentation of what she said! She said that the dream expressed by MLK did not begin to be realized until the Civil Rights Act...not that LBJ was more important than MLK. This is just Fox News attempting to pile on Clinton.

[todnyc]

i guess Johnson's legislation doesn't mean shit because he wasn't black (right?)

[elliotholden]

Nope, it just means that MLK was more important because he DIED for it. Johnson passed legislation because the pressure was on.

[todnyc]

you're saying MLK willingly and knowingly martyred himself? r u muzlim? i dont get it.

[blackenuf4ya]

First of all, FUCK that anti-Muslim crap, because we all know that most of you racists hate ANYBODY brown-skinned or red/yellow/olive-skinned. EVERY person of color who's ever tried to live in America has been subject to HORRIBLE racism, so picking on Muslims doesn't convince me that they're suddenly the problem. YOU'RE THE PROBLEM.

[blackenuf4ya]

Second, MLK knew that his days were numbered because he had been receiving hundreds of DEATH THREATS. He had been beaten by POLICE. He was a BLACK man in America, trying to fight for black people's rights. He knew that the possibility of being murdered was more than likely - YET HE DIDN'T STOP! He said that he might not make it to the promised land with us in body, but he'd be there with us in spirit.

[Flufflescump]

It wasn't "Johnson's Legislation." He was a reluctant supporter of Civil Rights who (if I recall correctly) opposed similar legislation when he was in Congress. Now, if you want someone whose contributions to Civil Rights Movement have been underappreciated, look no further than Bobby Kennedy.

[silverborgani]

UNBELIEVEBLE!!!!!! good thing she's done
