Clinton Campaign Accused of Playing Race Card
WASHINGTON (AP) - Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has been accused of "playing the race card" by using racially-themed campaign ads following Obama's stunning upset victory in South Carolina. Clinton admits that the gloves are off now that primary season is heating up, but denies that her jabs at Obama are racist.
"Being a woman," explained Clinton, "and a member of a minority myself - well, technically a majority, but it still counts affirmative-action-wise - I am extremely sensitive to issues of prejudice and I keep my campaigning tough but fair as a consequence. And what could be fairer than merely stating the obvious, as in my new slogan 'The woman is white, and that makes her all right'?" Still, some of her other slogans have alienated her fellow Democrats, and may be costing her valuable endorsements. Senator Ted Kennedy admitted this was a factor in his recent endorsement of Obama. "I'm not one to ever shy away from calling a spade a spade," burbled a more-sober-than-usual Kennedy, "but after Clinton started using that 'Don't vote for the darkie, he's full of malarky' tagline in her commercials, I decided I'd best make a stand in favor of the Negro race by endorsing that nice young colored boy with the totally phat wife. I wouldn't mind sprinkling a little of that brown sugar on my oatmeal, if ya know what I mean. I'm hoping she's got some slutty friends I can hook up with." Also controversial are her "Watch out for the Tarbaby!" ads currently running in California, where Clinton is defending a 12-point lead in the polls ahead of Tuesday's primary. "I don't know what the fuss is about," explained Clinton, "'tarbaby' is a perfectly legitimate literary allusion with which to describe the subtle dangers that Obama's political inexperience brings to his candidacy. My use of it has nothing to do with ol' biscuit-lips being an African-American. Hell, I'd toss it at Edwards if HE were winning. Although I'd probably change it to 'targayby'." "Anyway," Clinton concluded, "this whole issue is nonsense. Some of my best friends are black. Like Ron Brown... before the son of a bitch crossed me and I had to give him 'flying lessons'." 15 Responses To "Clinton Campaign Accused of Playing Race Card"
Wait, why is this filed under Newish Fakery? I swear I saw this exact interview on CNN. #1 - Posted by: Ernie Loco on February 1, 2008 01:07 PM...and I of course mean Newsish Fakery #2 - Posted by: Ernie Loco on February 1, 2008 01:08 PMAh, you gotta love Harvey - always willing to go skating on that thin ice. Good thing the homeys can't skate... #3 - Posted by: bunkerboy on February 1, 2008 01:34 PMI don't know why Hillary feels the need to play the race card game. I think she could just meet him in a straightforward manner, Obama being so clean and articulate & all... #4 - Posted by: AlanABQ on February 1, 2008 02:49 PMHarvey, You crack me up! Ya got guts man! This one might be another one of your reports that makes it to the google news search engine again. This on has enough truth to that it may stay there longer this time. ~P&B~ #5 - Posted by: Pork & Beans on February 1, 2008 07:13 PMHillary's campaign is denying there is a racial message with the Hillary '08 lawn/garden jockey statue signs. When told that some groups found that to be offensive, an aide responded "Hill told the staff she wanted the garden gnomes, but test polls showed people thought the gnome was Hillary and it scared them. We looked at other signs, such as the farmer's wife or the farmer bent over, but Hillary/lawn jockey just seemed right." #6 - Posted by: lastconservativestanding on February 1, 2008 08:11 PM#5 either that or it will end up on snopes... #7 - Posted by: TerribleTroy on February 1, 2008 09:04 PM"targayby" *snork* #8 - Posted by: Meg Q on February 1, 2008 09:43 PMOMG, this is hilarious! You know, what's "funny" is that if one looks back @ the history of the women's suffrage movement, some proponents pushed for it on the basis that the female white vote would more than counterbalance the male & female black vote... #9 - Posted by: Whitehorse on February 1, 2008 11:15 PMYou actually had me concerned with that spade quote. So I looked it up. Turns out it came from the greeks and was mistranslated into english in the 17th century. Spade as a derogatory term only showed up in the 20th century, but people have been making the false correlation ever since. #10 - Posted by: kylos on February 1, 2008 11:58 PMI think she went a bit far when pandering for the crack ho vote...the clothes, the hair, the trashy way she was speaking, all just to try to look like them...what?...she always looks like that?...oh, wow...forget it, never mind! #11 - Posted by: Son of Bob on February 2, 2008 01:11 AMCalifornia, where Clinton is defending a 12-point lead in the polls ahead of Tuesday's primary. Well, not any more, she isn't. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/02/03/MNF7UR6FE.DTL&tsp=1 On the other hand, this is a story from the San Francisco Chronicle, whose drug-addled "reporters" may have been trying to cover a story about the Giants' outfield, or the new free sex-change clinic downtown, or something else entirely. #12 - Posted by: Silicon Valley Jim on February 3, 2008 10:44 AMHillary's campaign is denying there is a racial message with the Hillary '08 lawn/garden jockey statue signs. #13 - Posted by: carina on February 4, 2008 01:08 PMHarvey: excellent humor as always, and right on target to boot. The *only* thing I'd comment on is the ha-ha Kennedy-is-a-big-fat-drunk thing. AFAIK the guy's been in AA and sober for a number of years now, so I would count "LUSH!" pot-shots as Dude Not Funny. If somebody on the left was making "Limbaugh on painkillers" jokes (e.g. about a serious addiction that the guy owned up to and sought treatment for, successfully), I'd be pissed at the ad-hominem as well. Just a thought. #14 - Posted by: James on February 4, 2008 03:55 PMHillary's new campaign slogan: Post a comment
