Do you think that Hilary Clinton is a hypocrite for saying Obama is playing the race card?

Here is a woman who changes her accent depending upon which group of people she is in front of. If she is in front of southerns, she immediately adapts an twang..etc.etc..





"Up to this point Obama has not only neutralized the race issue, but he's used it to his political advantage. But if the Democratic campaign is seen as a battle between black and white, rather than change vs. more of the same; you can book that plane ticket to Denver for Hillary Clinton. A racially charged campaign while likely to upset African-Americans will almost certainly play dividends among working class and Hispanic voters who are far more likely to be turned off by direct racial appeals. (It hardly seems a coincidence that it was working class voters who made the difference for Hillary in New Hampshire.) The Clintons are smart enough to only raise this issue implicitly, allowing the media and political pundits to run with the ball, which of course they are dutifully doing."

She's completely wrong. When has Obama played the race card? He hasn't, because he knows Americans are more willing to vote for a black candidate who doesn't need to reaffirm that he's black every time he gives a speech. Hillary's willing to create tension over both race and gender to hurt Obama's campaign.
Reply:more like a lying hypocrite.





she played the gender card and faked some tears in new hampshire and got a win there.





when she was called out on it, SHE decided to play the race card in order to take the spotlight off herself.





nothing she does is without motive. she made the ridiculous comment about Dr. King and LBJ to smear Obama's campaign.





obama has decided to take the high road and ignore her foolishness. of course, hrc didn't like this and SHE'S the one who keep saying obama is using the race card.





how sad. how sad that she first used fake tears and now she's using a hard lie to try and get to the white house.





should she get the nomination, i'll be voting for a republican for the first time in my life.





i don't want an individual who will use deceptivenss to win the white house. this nation has had that to happen to us already, and we all know how that debacle turned out.
Reply:yes .............Obama is not playing the race card.......she wants the nation to think that, so they won't vote for him.......
Reply:I don't like Hillary she plays the female race card, and Obama is playing the color race card although very discreetly!!
Reply:This is a Clinton political tactic. We as the American people need to stop falling for it. We need a change. Barack Obama is the way. If Senator Obama wanted to play the race card then he could have done so long ago.





Since he is winning on his own merits, Clinton needs to raise the race card herself and then play the "victim" as if Obama did it.


Pathetic.
Reply:No I think Obama is just desperate so thats why he keeps bringing it up. Either way both of them suck.
Reply:Never take a politician on his/her words and at the same time expect them to even sell their mothers to get votes.Hilary is in it and therefore no exception.
Reply:It looks as though people will have to decide whether they are sexist or racist.
Reply:Absolutely Not.....Nobody plays the race card more than Obama. It's gotten to be such a double-standard when ANY innocent negative true fact about Obama is immediately falsely branded as racist. If ANYONE says that they do not support Obama because of his lack of experience %26amp; qualifications.......They are also immediately falsely branded a racist. Even Bill's " fairytale " comment which had NOTHING to do with racism.....is also immediately branded as being racist.----------- On the other double-standard side; Obama gets a " free pass " on the fact that he belongs to an admitted Black Separatist Church !!! ---- Can ANYONE imagine the furor that would be heard around the world if Hillary belonged to a White Separatist Church ??? ---- The true hypocrite is Obama who plays the race card.
Reply:Yes.
Reply:Obama is not the one who made the comments.





She is the one and Bill is the one. Bill knew he had made an error, otherwise he wouldn't have called Sharpton's show.





FTR- I think that Bill's fairytale comment was about something else. I've watched the tape.





Her accusation that Obama's camp has "played the race card" is insulting. It is not as though anyone needed help to have a negative response to her comment about MLK.





The reality is that the President wouldn't have made a decision to even address equal rights if it had not been for MLK.





Also her point was, that we don't need another "speaker". It takes a President to get things done. Well, guess what Barack is running for President- wouldn't he have the same power as she to effect change if elected. MLK may have run for President and been able to make the CRA a reality if he had lived in Obama's time. He needed the president because the country was too racist to allow his dream to go all the way to the White House.





And LBJ had King wire-tapped- while he was president. Nice.





Hillary Clinton had said King's dream of racial equality was realized only when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.





I would also add that I am no sure that all would agree that King's dream of racial equality has been realized.
Reply:Yeah yeah yeah. and Huckster plays the bible card, McCain the Patriot POW card, Paul the IRS card, Guliani the terror card...Edwards the im just a common guy card, only Thomason and Kucinich don't have a card to play. . . that comes from not playing with a full deck!
Reply:He hasn't had to use it until now. NObama sees this will be his only opportunity to attack Senator Clinton by taking her words out of the context. If there is one candidate that is being most hypocritical, it's Barack Hussein NObama out of all the candidates. So much for a "uniter" huh??

Reply:You just played your card....
Reply:Obama has to pretend to be a "Uniter", but his actions and affiliations tell the true story. He cannot get up there and tell the American people his real agenda, or who he supports, or what he supports - for that matter. Obama's hidden supporters (like Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan - don't forget Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson) have a change in mind all right - but it will not be a change of unification but separation of the races. Talk is cheap - and Obama does a lot of talking. The proof is in the pudding - the proof is in his past - and the proof is in the racist friends that are pushing his campaign.
Reply:Why? You just now pulled the gender card on Clinton yourself.
