i heard that when she said his name she replaced "Luther" with the n-word.

Usually that's a good campaign strategy -- a cute little signal to frightened whiteys that MLK only gets lip service, not policy. Like when Bush ordered the U Mich anti-quotas case -- on MLK's birthday. LINK

Well, neither was LBJ, although my parents did teach me that the Tooth Fairy was a hard-drinking Texan who swore like a sailor.

Well, he sure as hell wasn't bullet proof, hasn't risen from the grave, and didn't give me a damn cent for my teeth. I'd say its accurate.

yup i'm still waiting for her to start freaking the fark out and having a michael richards moment. please god please god.

What, did she suggest that MLK actually existed?

There's no crying your way out of this one....

She's cheese. Like that High School Guidance Counselor with subtle, secret uncooked emotional issues who tells any young person who walks into her office (particularly the boys)...

"I'm not here to give you false hopes."

...unless she finds the young'un sufficiently heartbroken and castrated by their school experience to begin with.

She's a Bummer. Wrong for Planet Earth let alone America.


I say "Phooey".

My god people are STUPID!

It DID take LBJ to pass the law. She says a COMPLETELY LEGIT AND HISTORICALLY ACCURATE statement, and the black community TWIST it into being racist.

No, she didn't use the n word moran.

Man some people get offended over NOTHING. She didn't say anything negative about MLK, she simply stated that a single citizen DOES NOT HAVE the power to pass law.

JEEBUS.

I'm gonna go move to another planet now.

I'm tired of all the stupid farkers on this one. Who wants to come with?

Wait, wouldn't that make Jesus was a black super-fairy?

School House Rock taught me that only Congress can pass laws.

Subby is retard. MLK is much better than Superman, Jesus and the Tooth Fairy all in one. (new window)

I wonder how many farkers have never been bothered to watch the damn thing?

Arthur Jumbles: School House Rock taught me that only Congress can pass laws.

yeah well a president has to sign the bill into law first now doesn't he?

That would be Jesuperluthertoother King.

Mrs Clinton, trying to make a point about presidential leadership and Mr Obama's constant references to Dr King, the civil rights icon, said: "Dr King's dream began to be realised when President Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It took a president to get it done."

Uh, yeah... That's why he's applying for the job, dumbass!

Superman NO. Black Man Yes. Jesus? No. Savior of His Race and their rights? Yes. Tooth Fairy? No. Bringing a brighter Smile to people's faces? Yes.

If a Republican candidate said this, Jesse and Al would be in overdrive.

Martin Luther King, PLEASE!

It's not a completely fatal mistake -- she's got some immunity to this sort of thing.

She probably could have substituted Obama for Tiger in the same dumb comment that announcer on the golf channel recently made and she'd still be able to skate out of it without too much damage.

Martin Luther King wasn't more powerful than a locomotive but he sure could stop a speeding bullet.

You're an embarrassment to the Republican Party. Kindly STFU.

Hillary was really taken out of context here.

If you read her comments more fully, it becomes clear that she wasn't comparing Johnson to King...she was comparing Johnson to KENNEDY.

Kennedy, she said, was "hopeful" on the civil rights issue, but it took Johnson's unparalleled ability to wrestle votes out of the Congress to actually get anything done. In other words, Kennedy's pretty speeches may have lifted people's spirits -- but they failed to enact the laws that needed to be enacted.

She's absolutely right.

If Trent Lott had said this, it would be 7/24 on the news. I just went to cnn.com, and it's not even on their front page. Kinda funny how the media decides what is to be the big story.

My first thought: whatever it takes to bring her down

My second thought: Wow...it's that attitude that can turn otherwise-good people into schills resembling politicians today.

My third thought: Whatever it takes.

atlanta_ufo: Kinda funny how the media decides what is to be the big story.

how can you expect them to report this when a set of twins GOT MARRIED!!!

LOL. Being England, I thought at first it might have been the Weasley twins getting married.

Let me get this right... Hillary = LBJ? The man who started the great "WAR ON POVERTY!!!"

That's all I need to know. Not like I didn't already.

I'm sure all of her initiatives will prove just as successful.

Que the "Well what about the war on drugs" liberal dodge in 5-4-3..

Racist biatch!

The CRA passed in a landslide and could have over-ridden a presidential veto. Once the Democratic party came to grips with Southern Democrats and their strangelhold on blocking such legislation it passed easily.

You're another embarrassment. And it's "Hillary", you friggin' tool.

Funny that, isn't it? But you're a racist for suggesting it.

/There never was a Martin Luther King.
//It's just a story in a book.

kingMountain: i heard that when she said his name she replaced "Luther" with the n-word.

A weatherman got fired for doing something similar.

WHOA THERE.

Actually, it had a lot more to do with the 80% support it had among the Republicans than then ~65% it did among the Democrats. The biggest opposition to it was Democratic, yet the left always claims credit for it. Revisionist history at its finest.

eatin' fetus

just saw your response to my post.... wtf?
did i pull your string?
that racist remark..... were hillarys words....not mine.

/see link i posted to hear it from the horses mouth.
//thats all....carry on

balthan: kingMountain: i heard that when she said his name she replaced "Luther" with the n-word.

Wow. Really? How was this not bigger news when this happened?

Someone got fired over an obvious slip-of-the-tongue? How sad.

jaedreth: HISTORICALLY ACCURATE

And that started counting when?
We're talking about MLK here!

That's all fine and dandy, but what is with papers like the NY Times and The Times (UK) not using periods to complete abbreviations such as "Mr." and "Mrs."?

She's absolutely right.

So you're saying that she needs to be Obama's VP, then Obama needs to be assassinated, and she can use the ensuing goodwill to get things done? Maybe it's not racist, but it's still kind of revisionist.

The 1964 Civil Rights Act took away the right of all Americans, regardless of race, creed or color, to freely associate.

/but minority business owners are rarely prosecuted for discrimination, so I guess they don't care.

Hillary is a bit off the mark on this but I don't see how it could be construed she was denigrating King. You would be hard pressed to find a more worthy advocate for black Americans or the poor in general. The Clintons have repeatedly cited King and Kennedy over the years as their inspiration. So these allegations are spurious and ridiculous.

Where Hillary's assessment went awry was in giving too much credit to Johnson.
While its true Johnson was at the helm when the civil rights agenda made the law books its genesis was with Kennedy's Camelot administration. You see Kennedy himself would have seen the legislation to fruition but he was seriously handicapped. Having been plugged full of holes in Dallas when he was assassinated and all.

Johnson couldn't have done anything but see the Kennedy legacy through. His death left a martyr like movement that made quick adoption inevitable. Johnson knew that he was unable to propel an agenda of his own and didn't seek the party's election. Robert Kennedy was set to take civil rights even further than Johnson when he was cut down.

So it was Kennedy's assassination more than anything else that created the atmosphere to enact civil rights legislation. King in turn had influenced Kennedy. But it was Kennedy who championed the cause at the peril of his own political ambitions.

She didn't dis on King, she was saying how King actually put actions to his words. She went on to say that King not only preached, but he took legitimate steps to make change, ie; working on legislation, organizing marches, etc. Where as Obama has yet to do anything but 'preach". I'm voting for Obama, but I think this is an unfair attack on Clinton.

He farking was, though. I mean, shiat, I'm sure Superman and the Tooth Fairy cheated on their spouses regularly. Funny how we always skip over those mysterious 3 years where he was anti-Vietnam.

It is all a tactic to get out the Black vote. After seeing Hillary's bump after being picking on for a tear, the same tactic is being used to mobilize the black vote. Get the voters mad and out. Republicans used Gay marriage bans, democrats use "the other guy hates you" to gets their base angry.
