Pt 8/12 Democratic Presidential Debate 1-21-08

[dumboiscute]

@missraw Yes. That is D.C. at 6:11.

[swamihate]

"Race is a factor in society. There's no doubt, in a race were you got an African American, a woman, and...uhm...John."

The look on Edwards face at around 8:47 is PRICELESS.

Thanks again, Barak, for giving this debate a modicum of humor.

[missraw]

Was that Dave Chappelle in the audience?

[romaniamatti]

thats not true!the african american population is aint the worst negative affected population!there is the hispanics or the native americans who are put in reservations and have a more horrible life than afroamericans!! when edwards says that blacks are to be more respected he more likely means to gain their votes!! they will always be tellin that blacks are the ones who are disadvantaged, to keep them low & hold`em down...but that`s exactly the reason why they`ll never unite!!

[eurekargos]

Hillary is so much more qualified and prepared to BE the president for the USA than all the other democratic candidates combined! The fact that some of them, including Obama, feel that they have hope, is nothing else but a swing of public opinion. But in their heart they do know this: If qualification, experience, executive abilities play any role, Hillary will be the first woman president in the USA. She deserves it. She has my support not only in words but also with my wallet.

[Whoselineisfunny]

"whether its a woman, an african american, john"hahah i love barack obama!!!!! obama for president!!!

[gabetuno]

Dude. Are you kidding? I think you might be the dim one here, not only did he get it, but he turned it into a little self deprecating humor by saying "Thats usually when I read my stuff too..." rather than making a rip against the fact that Edwards' policy is probably equally boring.

Regardless of who you like best, you have to admit this is an amazing field. I gave money to barack though, 20 dollars, and i think he is best for us. oh well.

[Terry5135]

That one little joke by Edwards - that he will read it when he can't get to sleep at night - and that Obama didn't get it, is yet another revealing clue that Obama is simply not as intelligent as Edwards. Unfortunately for Edwards, he doesn't have a tenth of the money for the campaign as the other two. Unfortunately for us too.

[meatmaker2]

was that dave chappelle? hahaha

[Caboose91206]

lol meatmaker2, yea! it is!

[Koolicious22]

"I read a study a few years ago and that said white middle class people were the least prejudice, and black were the most prejudice followed closely by Hispanics. I think it is very important for the black community in America to have heroes other than rappers or sport legends. Just not Obama. " -gangbell

You must be suffering from extreme prejudice. Go get some help and do not inflict your sickness on others.

[gandgbell]

I'm SO not prejudice - if you knew who you were talking to. LOL Why is that prejudice, extreme or otherwise? The white middle class is all over Obama, they really don't care that he is black although to the media and black community- his color is ALL they see. What is the problem - discuss the issue. Don't be afraid.

[godblesskiddchris]

and im not racist, i just dont want my tax money to pay for someone who doesnt wanna work

[godblesskiddchris]

they're all communist scum. it's the blacks' problem that they're poor. why should it be our responsibility to pull their asses out of poverty? there is no discrimination or anything against them, they are given every opportunity to make money. why should we help them if they dont wanna work? and if you disagree with me, then why are like 80% of all criminals minorities mostly blacks and why are a lot of them in poverty?

[suebee62]

Isn't it funny that when Obahma lashed out at Hillary for being an attorney for Wal-Mart, but he didn't like the backlash she gave him for being an attorney for a slumlord. If you can't take it, don't dish it out!

[suebee62]

yes, that was Dave Chappelle you saw in the audience. I have never seen him in the past years doing any thing political, except making fun. Why do you think he showed up there for? Could he be kin to oprah?

[shutterbug0517]

RAZORFANE!!I am A Gay woman and White!!!!!

AND I AM NOT CRAZY!!!

I wouldn't vote for Hillary !!!

And I like A LOT of what Obama has to say

[scammersbuster]

I have a dream! I have a dream! Ok!  My biggest dream is to see Obama and Hillary running together at the end. One for president & the other as Vice. They would definetely Win. I'm sure they have common grounds. Hope they think about it.

[blumac81]

Was that Dave Chappel at 6:09????? omg lol

[mistermig]

lol he was like, oh shit

[kamwood11]

Researchchris,

I see that you are a political 'geek' right now with this Presidential Campaign, would it be a problem for you to help me with my film on a white women running for president and black man.

[gandgbell]

I read a study a few years ago and that said white middle class people were the least prejudice, and black were the most prejudice followed closely by Hispanics. I think it is very important for the black community in America to have heroes other than rappers or sport legends. Just not Obama.

[awgu]

You're a fucking idiot.

[gandgbell]

So... are you implying I didn't really read an article about prejudice in America or was there something wrong with my sentence structure? Or are you... oh... I see... okay, well you need to deal with your own prejudice in your own time.

[mmnmmovies]

you know im not racist. but ive always felt that people are one sided on prejudice. like a white comedian cant go on stage and say shit about black people but a black comedian can go up and say cracker this and cracker that and not one person says anything.

[icymanipulator75]

i agree...blacks are racist beyond what they think....the rappers that say nigga should be charged or let everyone say it....NIGGA!!

[amatalka87]

she is corrupt!! we can not have a president that cries because she was losing a particular debate! we need a president with thick skin, and a president that can put fear into other countries,and hilary is not that person!!

[oroweat3000]

The biggest thing on youtube right now is a cracker ventriloquist telling very old, very lame Jew and Arab jokes.

[Koolicious22]

You must be suffering from extreme prejudice. Go get some help and do not inflict your sickness on others.

[shutterbug0517]

Hillary speaks about her husband Standing up against poverty during his administration ????

All I can remember about Bill he wasn't standing!! And Monica was on her Knees ;0)

[s4life]

lol.. bill did a lot for our country though.

[Realperson31]

Hillary been working on universal healthcare for 16 years & still it hasn't passed. She couldn't do it when Bill was in office. Now she thinks, she can do it in 4 years when she couldn't do it in 16 years. This tells me, she lacks the ability to inspire others and she is not a closer. We need a President that is a closer and have the ability to inspire others towards the same cause.

[RoachAsylum]

At least she did something - what did Obama ever do? Oh yeah, that's right: nothing at all

[awgu]

You are a moron.

[Brighterday84]

So, you're buying the Clinton lies, hook line and sinker.

Hillary: double-talking, flip-flopping (read her multiple versions of her statements on the 2001 bankruptcy bill, NAFTA, driver's license for immigrants, Iraq war authorization vote, Kyle-Liberman amendment, etc.,)it's all about me attitude.

[Realperson31]

Hillary wants to mandate (or force) everyone to pay for health care. The thinking is that will drive the price down. What incentive is there for insurance companies to lower the price is everyone is force to buy it?

[Realperson31]

Obama would have kids going to college stay on their parent's health care until the age of 25. Hillary would have kids after they turn age 18 (in college or not) buy their own. Their parents would still likely have to continue to pay for a family plan, but insurance companies would benefit with another paying customer at age 18

[mistermig]

Oh please. She's been working on it WHEN SHE WASN'T PRESIDENT and AGAINST EVERYONE WHO WA FIGHTING HER. What, you're going to fault her for trying so hard for the 16 YEARS??? What was she supposed to do?? Do you want healthcare for our nation, or don't you?? I sure the hell do. "not a closer", sheesh, you just lost your credibility with me.

[wenura]

it was hilarious when obama said we have an african american a woman and john. LMAO

[RoachAsylum]

It was disrespectful to edwards - just more obama nastiness

[s4life]

Gawd... where is your sense of humor????

[awgu]

Loser.

You're probably just some dumb bigot.

[blumac81]

Exactly, racial equality goes both ways people.

Though, I do admit it was funny :)

[monkeyshines4T]

A republican's veiw from this debate:

Hillary is smart, but a pure socialist.

Edwards is genuine and honest, but an ideologist. There plans will NEVER pass the republicans in congress and senate...more deadlock!

Obama is the only one here that will be able to work with the republicans to get things done.

[RoachAsylum]

you're an idiot - obama is much more liberal than hillary

[s4life]

Yeah, and Reagan was as conservative as they come... but eh still managed to pass laws

[edrammeh]

That last question was deflected. It's was probably for the best.

[renijohn012270]

This is the second time Barak Obama made fun of John Edwards for being a WHITE MAN! Say goodbye to the white male 18-75 vote Barak!

[RoachAsylum]

yes obama's true nature is exposed once again

[razorfane]

I hate hillary's smart ass face when the other candidates are speaking.

[smeagolorgollum]

The best chance for the republican party is hilary clinton

[RoachAsylum]

Of course not. Obama cant even handle Bill Clinton and Hillary - how the hell is he going to handle the Repubs? Obama cant even win primaries

[razorfane]

Hillary if corrupt! Fuck that bitch! She's just winning because Women are crazy and vote only for women.

[RoachAsylum]

lol you seem to have issues about women. Not getting laid? Are you ugly as fuck? Whats your problem?

[chmwood]

But he is standing up to the Clintons! He's calling them out on the lies they tell. Speaking as a person who actually respects Bill Clinton's political abilities, his accusations against Obama recently have been lies!

[Realperson31]

So, you're buying the Clinton lies, hook line and sinker.

Hillary: double-talking, flip-flopping (read her multiple versions of her statements on the 2001 bankruptcy bill, NAFTA, driver's license for immigrants, Iraq war authorization vote, Kyle-Liberman amendment, etc.,)it's all about me attitude.

[Realperson31]

If Hillary gets the nom., the republicans will bring ALL the Clintons dirt out. There's plenty of it too. The republicans will have a good chance of winning because of it.

[RoachAsylum]

obama's arrogance and sore loser schtick will cost him dearly

[melekcrescent]

You mean his easy confidence and rightful responses to direct attacks by the other candidates?

It earns my respect. He is both running to win because he believes in his platform, and refuses to let people spin his record to marginalize his positions.

[RoachAsylum]

easy confidence? He nearly exploded with all his accusations and angry behavior. Obama's game is up - he's been exposed

[oldiousnei]

Your racist drivel is so sad. Nicely outed your idiocy in your Caucasian Dominance video.

[RoachAsylum]

You're so dumb you couldnt even out Richard Simmons

[edrammeh]

I'm starting to sense that you have a more personal quarrel with Sen. Obama.

[edrammeh]

Arrogance? Sore loser? You would any see arrogance if you want to see arrogance. And in what aspect do you think he's losing?

[npierluissi]

RoachAsylum is a racist loser!!!!!!
