Clinton made a racially tinged comment. She wanted Obama to come out and play the race card. Obama, Harvard law professor is too smart for that but that didnt stop Clinton. Other people, outside of Obama's camp responded and were upset. Hillary is saying that Obama is fanning the flames? WTF. He did nothing wrong. Geesh. This is making me sick.

They're not telling white people not to vote for Obama because he's black, they're trying to court the black vote away from him.

Hillary will say and do ANYTHING to win. Rotten to the core.This is all a ploy. Classic Clinton politics. Throw mud, lie, cry, and lie some more, dirty rotten politics...then just when people start putting her in her place, she says "oh we're gonna try and tone it down now"....just before the vote. Don't be fooled, the real Clintons are far more nasty and disgusting whores than they have shown so far. If Hillary's the nominee, she'll lose to McCain.

Hilliary Clinton takes pride in the fact that she was a Goldwater girl for senator goldwater...is it not ironic that goldwater at the time was in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964...When President Johnson won the Election he signed the bill into law..

It's astonishing that people buy into this silly notion that the Clintons are using racism. What she said is an echo of "Where's The Beef", clumsily attempting to paint Obama a man of words, not a man of action. She happened to choose a black leader, MLK, as the reference point for this critique. You can say many things about the Clintons, but they are hardly stupid enough to play the race card with the SC primary looming, where 50% of the electorate is black. That is complete nonsense.

Hell we all know what she tried to imply, and she's done this stupid shit time and time again. She basically implied that a white person makes black people's wishes happen, and real black leaders like Martin Luther King just do the little work so vote for white Hillary. Man of all people, she picked the one guy that virtually everyone respects. Heck I'm hispanic and I'm grateful for the sacrifice he and others did for us miniorities.

Hillary is using GENDER CARD,"EXPERIENCED HUSBAND" CARD + RACE CARD, by bringin' DUMBASS JOHNSON to talk about "SOMETHING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD"!shame on her for playing so DIRTY-thats why no one should vote for her!

[sarcasmosis]

This is a solid gold brick come from the sky. Get those headlines, get those damned heads looking the right way. or left way. whatever.

[missdivinestalls]

Johnson needs to eff off. He has nothing valid to say and is a hypocrite. I agree with the comment below that Hilary and Barak need to smack back at the media for blowing something so stupid out of proportion. Stick to the REAL issues. Not this fluff.

[kitty0loaf]

the thing that bothers me the most is how she is trying to pin this debacle on the "obama camp" when it was primarily fueled by james clyburn, jesse jackson, and random bloggers/radio hosts as far as i can tell.

There is too much stress on political party as i see in the posts. I am democrat,however i am voting for a republican RON PAUL. I have never been moved by a politician like this since JFK. RON PAUL 2008
