Did Bill Clinton play the race card in South Carolina?
If Bill said it didn't happen, then clearly it didn't. Bill has always shown himself to be truthful and trustworthy in all matters when questioned.
Reply:It worked great for Obama.
Reply:No! Stop the stupid stuff. Why do you look at everything through some kind of racial prism? He stated a fact. Facts are facts and people don't like the truth so they "play the race card". It don't fly any more. We are going to make decisions based on facts!


We are not going to worry about your FEEEEElings or your self esteem any more. If you can't identify a problem with facts and call it what it is you will never be able to fix it.


When you play the RACE CARD you show that you have lost in your argument to the facts!
Reply:Yes, but it was only a Jack or a 10 of race.
Reply:Clinton fell right into the trap set by Obama's camp. When he and Hillary made those two non-racist comments in NH, which were then touted as racist by Obama's people, it made him extremely angry. It should have made him angry, it was complete b.s. But it made him lose his focus and say the comment about Jesse Jackson in SC, which is now being pointed to as him starting some sort of race war. No one wants to remember how Obama's camp turned those two remarks in NH into racism when they clearly weren't. That's what started this mess, yet Clinton gets blamed for starting something that already had begun. Should he have made the Jesse Jackson remark? No, it was a bad move. It just gave Mr. Hands Clean Obama more ammunition to add to the ridiculous notion that either Clinton was being racist in NH. Boom, in Clinton fell - and I bet that makes him madder than anything else right now.
Reply:No he said Obama's claims that he does not support the Iraq war based on jumping onstage to attract voters at a 2002 anti-war rally, was a "fairytale", because Obama's record in the Senate is a Hawk, who has voted to escalate the war.





The racist spin was all Axelrod and Obama, being on the offensive in the usual misinformation, and ruthless way, that Obama has been advancing to crush Hillary.





Some Obama backers cry "racism." We find the accusation to be unsubstantiated.

Reply:Perhaps, so what? The "Race Card", the "Sex Card" the "I live on the planet Earth Card"... It's not like "it's" not true.





I cannot pretend that I'm not a member of the human race to avoid the fact that I am.





Race is a fact of life - it's not going away, nor should it matter.
