Since Hillary takes Barack at his word

[WolverineDG]

that he's not a Muslim, why has she not publically denounced and/or rejected State Representative Richard Raymond for his racist remarks in the Spanish language paper, El Manana, which ran this past Friday?

In the direct link, you will see that the story has been changed from the original published both online & in print. http://www.elmanana.com.mx/notas.asp?id=43900

However, here's the cached link (which has been screensaved by many; I hope to scan in the printed article as well.)

Now Hillary did say in the last debate that she would ask anyone who made such remarks to publically leave her campaign. Richard Raymond has not been asked to step down.

For those of you who do not understand Spanish, Rep. Raymond stated that Barack Obama is an unexperienced politician who is Muslim. (novato politico de origen musulman)

So, where do we go to see Hillary reject & denounce State Rep. Raymond?

1. Thanks for starting this thread

I know of at least one DUer who screen capped, and I'm sure she'll it post it.

2. Obama can fight his own battles

He's made enough distortions and smears against Clinton, he should consider himself lucky she has stood up for him on this one.

Count your blessings, Obama folk, and fight your own battles. He would not do the same for her.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

7. So you admit he's a battler?

:applause:

[Yael]

15. He's a fighter!

:woohoo:

3. And how stupid is Rep richard raymond?

Or is he just a liar?

[WolverineDG]

4. I thought he was pretty smart

until this happened. Notice that he hasn't said anything like this in the English language media.

5. Thought we wouldn't notice...

not too bright.

27. more like her attempt to stick it to him backfired

[Bread and Circus]

8. Please send this to huffington post if you could or other such webspaces. I bet this would get legs

if it was picked up in a place like that.

9. I don't have an account there

who would I notify?

12. Huff Po has a "send a tip" button on their politics page:

maybe you can try that.

13. This plus her 60 Minutes remark.. yeah. Legs.

11. The same reaswon why Obama has not rejected/denounced Jeremiah Wright

CARLSON: But Jeremiah Wright is at least a mixed bag politically. His work to improve conditions in impoverished black neighborhoods may be laudable, but his rhetoric includes attacks against white people and against Israel. Should Obama distance himself from Dr. Wright, and if so, can he effectively do that?

http://husaria.wordpress.com/2007/05/11/barack-obamas-hateful-connections-part-3/

[WolverineDG]

19. Is Jeremiah Wright part of his official campaign?

Has he gone on record as stating he will ask those who make racist comments to leave his campaign?

14. As with the 60 Minutes thing, can one of our resident KO alerters, alert him to this too?

[question everything]

16. Why? Has Obama chastised McCain for chuckling when someone in the audience

asked him about "the bitch?"

Has Obama said a single world about all the sexual-driven smears on her?

No, he just grumbled that she is "likable enough."

It is not up to her to defend him. Oh, I forgot, as the woman she is expected to subservient her aspirations and her campaign to serve the master.

Was she asked to bring him coffee during any of the debate?

[WolverineDG]

18. Is McCain campaigning for Obama? n/t

[sonias]

17. I am so disappointed in Representative Raymond

Shame on him. He knows better.

20. That's horrible - shame on you Rep. Raymond - and the Clinton campaign.

Let's talk about what's really shameful...preying on the ignorant of this country by spreading outright lies.

[MethuenProgressive]

21. When is Obama going to denounce Donnie McClurklin?

I hate what the DUbamas have done to DU.

[crispini]

22. .

:kick:

[hfojvt]

23. do you understand Spanish?

I don't except for a word or two or ten that are recognizable. Yet as I read the last paragraph it is not clear if Raymond is saying that Obama is a muslim or if he is saying that Republicans and ignorant people will believe Obama is a muslim.

"los blancos republicanos y empresarios" or perhaps he is saying Obama has muslim roots "de origen muscleman".

It's hard for me to denounce something I cannot understand.

[Greyskye]

25. "Novice politician of Muslim origin"

That's the translation I get from "novato politico de origen musulman" when run through the Google Spanish to English translator.

26. My best attempt to translate the entire piece. This guy is insane.

Republicans want Obama: Raymond

Local deputy assures that opposition believes they can beat the Muslim and therefore fear Hillary in the elections

LAREDO, TEXAS.- "The Republicans in the whole country are voting so that Barack Obama is the Democratic candidate for the presidency, so they can defeat him easily in November with John McCain; they fear having to compete against Hillary Clinton with the Arizona senator".

Richmond Raymond, local deputy for the Democratic Party, said yesterday a minute after voting for the New York senator and behind an effort to head the proselytism in favor of the also ex first lady of the nation, that it's obvious that those sympathetic to Repubicans have established a strategy to grant victory to Illinois senator, Barack Hussein Obama, so that he can be a weak candidate, easier to defeat than Hillary Rodham-Clinton.

LARGE CHAINS TOO

"The same occurs with large consortia of the media, television, national and international newspapers, they don't want a woman to be the next president of the United States, but because they know she can beat their republican candidate John McCain, they then want Obama to beat Clinton", insisted Raymond.

That is, that in the United States, the white republicans and the impresarios of the media believe that it's easier to defeat in the constitutional elections of November an African American and political novice of muslim origin, that an experienced, well cemented, very popular and overall that it's about her being a woman, was central.
