No matter how suttle, race is being challenged and entered into this race by Rodham Clinton. She is a female who is no doubt desperately trying to get elected. Should we really give her the attention on this. I think not. What do you think?
Obama is obviously the frontrunner. Should we allow the race-card entered by Rodham Clinton to continue?
Clinton is only hurting herself thus far.
If she insists on making this a racial issue I do not think anyone is going to be able to stop her. She has the attention of the press.
I think however, that doing so will only hurt her in the end (especially with African Americans), and lead to further evidence that Obama is a man of integrity (so far her sleazy and rancid attacks throughout this campaign have proven only that).
I think this is healthy for America to view. Many Democrats are finally seeing the Clinton's for what they really are.

Reply:no more 'politics-as-usual' or 'politics-of-destruction'
enough of 'divisive politics' by BOTH parties.
VOTE OBAMA '08!
Reply:Hillary did not enter the race card in this political run it was entered by Obama the day he decided to run for president. I know he can't help it but be African American but that in itself brought the race issue to the table.
To get back to the obvious issue everybody refers to today and that being the comment Hillary made about MLK, I say that people should stop reading into the words and simply listen to the words. I am convinced that Hillary did not intend to lower the importance of MLK but she made a valid point that you can have as great as political ideas as you want unless you have the people to make it a law you got nothing. Her message means one thing only, she can bring change, she has the tools, the people and the knowledge to do so.
Race? well race is an issue 24/7 in our country regardless of politics, we just need to learn to live with it and wipe the race issue all together, we are all American, but as long as we continue to call ourselves African American, Hispanic American, Euro American and so on ... this issue will never leave us, ever.

Obama 08
Reply:To tell you the truth, no! HRC has no reason to do that. You know, it makes me sad, not mad to see these kinds of things. The only reason HRC is winning is because of Bill, period. She just wants to say, "My husband was president, and I am too! Isn't this so exciting! I get to be powerful!" You could say I am crazy, but your probably a grown up who thinks he knows everything. When you go through tough times, mom and grandma got cancer, my dad is almost paralyzed, foreclosure, no healthcare, poor education, you have no choice but to go against the status quo, because the status quo is not working for me or many other people in this country.
Reply:First off, you are a complete fool to vote for osama obama, as he has a muslim upbringing, regardless of his color. As far as hitlery vs. osama obama, i say let them rip each other apart. As we all know, the demon-rats are the party of personal destruction, of dependence upon the state, and of taxation beyond reason. In the end, we also see that the demon-rats are the TRUE party representing racism %26amp; sexism. You'd think the sheeple that vote "d" would be intelligent enough to see that, but if they were, they'd be voting "R" anyway! While many of you don't like Bush, don't worry. The demon-rats will screw up this election, just as they've screwed up the last two.
Reply:Obama front runner? Who u try to cheat - the young kids on YA? Where have u been hiding lately?
Get real.
Do you know that Hillary is beating Obama in over 45 state polls, and in the national poll, and delegate counts?
Reply:It was Obama's camp the cried foul. He's turned off a lot of undecided voters. I'm praying for McCain to get the nomination so I'm not forced to vote for either of them . . .
Reply:I wish she would dry up and blow away.
Reply:Hillary should be ashamed of her self
Reply:She wasn't using the "race card". She was taken out of context, as is usually the case with things like this.
What she was simply saying is that you have to have a president that can actually make things happen and not just talk about making things happen.
Simply put, if it weren't for Dr. King, the Civil Rights movement would not have happened like it did with certainty... and he is to absolutely be given credit for his tremendous amount of work and determination in the face of such adversity...
However, if President Johnson had simply dismissed Dr. King and the Civil Rights Act, that dream would not have been able to become a reality when it did. What she was saying is that you need a president who will get the job done.
It's embarrassing to think that anyone cannot see that, and I wish that people would stop insinuating that the American people are idiots, who can be fooled by such rhetoric.
Want to see what we can do with taking things out of context? Ask Jimmy Kimmel with his "Unnecessary Censorship".
Reply:I don't really see anyone giving it attention,...well except for you, the righties, FOX, and Rush limbaugh...
Reply:Obama did not cry foul, he said simply this:
....Obama said Sunday her comment about King was "ill-advised."...
The Clintons took the term "ill-advised" and turned it into a "racist attack against Hillary and drawing 'race' into the election". The AP, Reuters, Washington Post and NY Times took the exaggeration and ran with it.
The Clintons can manipulate the media better than anyone, even better than Rove.
This is what the Clinton smear-machine has always done. They always paint themselves as victims, as the stalwarts of progress that these other "villains" out there try to prevent. In this case, Barack is now the center of the Clinton attack-machine.
It is dirty-politics, plain and simple. Good old fashioned dirty politics, to paint yourself as a victim, and your opponents as "demons".
The Clintons will win.
They are richer, dirtier and more politically tied to the establishment than Obama. After they won, they'll have to pay out all the political favors they used up to win. Which means we'll see the same old tired politicians, soaking up our tax money, getting lots of ambassador appointments and ripping off the American people.
Reply:I think they are both rediculous. multiple times obama has pulled the "race card" to get the black vote. it is ALL he is running on, and hillary has pulled the "sex card" to get the women's vote. its not right to make what gender or race you are have ANYTHING to do with it. they both have very weak platforms other than that.
