Is This the Same Hillary Clinton Who's Intimating to SDs That Obama Can't Win Because He's Black?

I mean, that is the subtext of her message, isn't it? He can't win because he's a black man, who goes to a black church, with a black pastor, isn't that wright, Hillary?

Democratic presidential hopeful, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., pauses while recounting
her experience the day Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. died on the 40th anniversary of the assassination
at the Mason Temple Church of God and Christ in Memphis, Tenn., Friday, April 4, 2008.

1. She told Richardson MLK can't win, he just can't win, Bill.
Then she made a joke about it on Leno.

2. I think you are Wright!
unfortunately this is what Clinton supporters are saying around here - "he's never going to win because he's Black"

3. Yep - That's The Same Hillary Clinton - And You Know What.......
most people know that she changes her message depending upon whom she is talking to at the time.

You know - I just thought of what Hillary would be good at - probably the perfect job for her - a host of one of the cable news shows. You know - kinda like "Morning Joe" or "Hardball". We can call it something like "Over the Hill" or "Up One Hill & Down The Other" or "Take That Hill".

The timing, the flair, she's a natural.

18. That was a question about Rev. Wright, does not back your OP asssertion, at all.
Edited on Fri Apr-04-08 01:19 PM by Skip Intro

And she seemed to try to move on from it, after being asked about it.

She later said in that presser that private conversations are just that, private. I'm sure Obama has private conversations as well. We could speculate from now 'till Hillary's second term as president what he might be saying too, but it would be just that, wild speculation.

At any rate, you claimed she was making the argument to super dels that Obama cannot win because he's black. I asked you to back up that assertion. So far, you haven't. Can you?

25. "She doesn't deny it."
You have to understand that this is good enough for Obama supporters. There is truth, and there is obatruth, and there is logic, and then there is obalogic. Ninety percent of the crap they use to get their HRC hate-on, is obatruth, based upon obalogic. Basically, a mere allusion to a negative concerning HRC, is for them, the truth as they interpret it. Any criticism, no matter how important, or small, of Obama is now considered "shit-slinging", racist, or both. Ever try to reason, or get some basic truth out of a Bush supporter? You'll have as good a chance making headway here, as you would with one of them. But keep trying, stranger, and more unexplainable things have happened before. Thanks.

11. Honestly, she gives the SD's very little credit and insults their intelligence
It's like she's a teacher telling the 2nd graders what to think. This must be turning them off.

16. It's really pretty galling
Remember how she mocked Obama's upbeat campaign speeches? Hope and dreams are only okay when they don't interfere with her political aspirations. And while it's generally a pointless exercise to indulge in this type of speculation, I like to think that if Martin Luther King, Jr. were still alive today, he'd have excoriated her for her rank cynicism in service of the politics of the status quo.

21. No, that subtext just came from you
and before that, the slander came from the BO campaign. It's disgusting.

Democrats won't forget.

28. Do you believe everything you read on the internet?
Or was that just an excuse for you to call Senator Hillary a name?
