Doug Wilder just again tried to put race in the campaign by
misquoting Bill Clinton on "Fairy tale" Obama want race to be an issue to unite his base. I have advocated for civil rights, equal rights and equality my entire life and i am sick of African American politicians playing the race card.

5. If Obama can invoke ML King Jr like he did today then all candidates should also quote him. He's
MLK candidate.

6. But in reference to the question posed, Gov. Wilder should have stated
in reference to "The GOP will go after Barack, and he is untested"......

Sen. Obama has had the kitchen sink, and then some, thrown at him from the Clinton campaign. From him being called a Muslim through an E-mail campaign, to be portrayed as simply the "Black" Candidate, to being called a cocaine snorter and a religious kook, with him having already admitted to what was true (cocaine use) while the rest is made up shit. The Clinton campaign has even thrown in the Renzko bullshit, and that is all that they have, with nothing there material or of any consequences considering the Keating 5 McCain has in his own bag.

And so Why would Sen. Obama be afraid or surprised about the politics of hate coming from the Republicans? Hate is the same, no matter where it comes from; Republican or Democratic quarters.

A better question would be, how is Hillary going to fight the Republicans? McCain is much more experienced than she is, and that seems to be what she is running on. Once she releases those tax returns (that was due back in October of 2007), and pressure mounts for her to disclose the activity of the Clinton library and the Clinton Foundation, there will be more enough there to sink her.

McCain states he is the Reformer with Results who hates pork. Hillary's got pork, while Obama has helped pass sweeping ethics reforms.

-----------------------
That's what I would have stated, if they would have asked me to come on the TV.

7. Obama brings race up whenever there is a crucial state with a lot of black voters coming up
Notice there was no race talk from Obama and his cronies in the lead up to Iowa and New Hampshire? It came before South Carolina and now Maryland, Virginia, and DC are up so we shouldn't be too surprised. I bet we will see this before Mississippi too.

It should be remembered it was the Obamas who introduced race into the campaign in 2007, long before Bill challenged Obama's record on IRAQ ( :wtf: does Iraq have to do with race?).

8. Wilder is a scum bag of the worst kind.
He is inserting the race card to rile up Richmond. He knows he is lying about BC and probably laughing behind closed doors with his girlfriends.
