Posted by Manila Ryce, The Largest Minority at 12:01 PM on January 29, 2008.


The "first black president" has been beefing with the candidate who’s "not black enough", but Stewart finally puts an end to it.

The "first black president" has been beefing with the candidate who’s "not black enough", but Stewart finally puts an end to it. Would Clinton be supporting Obama if his own wife wasn’t running? Perhaps. Would anyone really think Obama was the candidate of change if the media hadn’t chosen Hillary Clinton to be his only competition? Absolutely not.

Digg!

right.
more like makes it up with very short soundbites and tons of ad homenim and innuendo.
i believe what clinton was pointing out is the obvious. SC is segegated. MOST white folks are republicans, and alot of the democrats are black folks. Could it be?
I guess what he is saying is that just like many voting demographics (and the "black vote" demographic is referred to tons), the largly black democratic demographic in this case, voted overwhelmingly for Barak as the demographic did for Rev. Jackson... RACIST! how dare he say that!
let us now cast aspirtions on his wife by talking yet again about the least important aspect of his time in office: monica lewinski, cause ya know, that's what's good for the country...
you frickin morons are really dumbing this one down, so much so you'd think it was a republican race.

why don't you invite bill on to your show rather than debating a graphic? that might be a better service to your country at a pivotal point in history, but that would take some cohones, hey?

Hillary Clinton represents a travesty of an added 4 to 8 years of the same world hegemony as Bush Jr. Let us not forget her perfect Bush agenda voting record up until the day her campaign began! There should be no options left on the table to defeat Hillary Clinton in the Primaries. We certainly must remember the Republican media campaign to declare all candidates as "unelectable" with the exception of Kerry (Yale, Skull and Bones, Wall St.) in 2004. Hillary's playing of the race card is such a ploy. What do Carl Rove, Dick Cheney and Hillary Clinton have in common? Invasion of Iran fixation.

See Hillary Clinton speak for herself here:

Then see the company she keeps with Rev, Hagee of Christian Zionist cult here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exdsB5D1r7Y

She advocated nuclear war against Iran and has never repudiated war in any form.

i should have more of a sense of humor about america in general. but as a canadian, it's like havin a crackhead older brother (really fun guy) that keeps beatin the crap outa all my friends.
hard to laugh sometimes, especially when this dumbing down "crack" is part of the problem.
i'm not the biggest supporter of hillary, but debate the issues or find fault with her that you can lampoon, don't just lie and makes stuff up that you then throw into the mouth of a graphic which you dress down...
what a joke yes, but humorous, no.
