Hillary’s “Macaca” moment: mentions soiled Oval Office carpet, tells Hispanic audience to bring their brooms and vacuums….

As I’ve said before, even though she thinks it is a politically useful metaphor, Hillary should probably refrain from mentioning the messy Oval Office rug or carpet. Hillary should also probably not ask any sort of people to bring their……

For Hillary, a broom closet is a parking lot.
Cackle.

I think I’ve said this before, but I firmly believe that HRC is hedging her bets by tying up the Mexican vote. She knows she’s going to have trouble getting the blacks in the primaries. With the natural tendency toward racial conflict between the two groups, she has chosen to divide and conquer the party.

If the “rank-and-file democrats” are only now “reevaluating” the Clintons as to their propensity to lie and distort, well then, they deserve her. What a pathetic group that party is. Let me explain it to them: When your guy (and his gal) are lying, immoral, corrupt, power-hungry animals, they tend to be that way with EVERYONE. You bought ‘em. You own ‘em. And now you’re stuck with ‘em. Have a nice day.

Necesitas ayudar con su español. Pero te entiendo.

Hillary has a lock on the Latino vote…I would say ‘Si!’ only because, if they vote, they won’t vote for a black man. Just a general observation!

That’s a very far-reaching generalization. Barack Obama earned 65-75% of the Latino vote during his past campaigns. Cities all across America have black elected officials getting Latino votes. Furthermore, you ignore the fact that many Latinos span the racial spectrum. Many Latinos are also black.

Yes, there are political and community clashes between blacks and Latinos. But that does not mean “they won’t vote for a black man.”

Just a general observation.

…”if this is the way a campaign is managed how well would the White House be managed.” Did this person MISS the 90′s and the aftermath of the Clintoon ‘admnistration’? HELLO?…Despite the way they left the WH–like The Grinch, drug dealers, graffitti artists and vandals?
Anyone remember Hilly’s memo to the women who worked in the WH: ‘You must wear underwear’?
WHO IN HEAVEN’S NAME WANTS A REPEAT OF ALL THAT, AND MORE?

The Dems own the minorities and have a place for them. If these untermensch of the Liberals are legal, have good jobs and are self sufficient they might actually vote Republican…..and we can’t be having that.

She’s such a freaking idiot. She always says the stupidest things. “I’m not some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette…” “I didn’t choose to stay home and bake cookies…” “Brings your brooms and vacuums to the White House!” Does she enjoy randomly offending large segments of our population???

“I Don’t Feel No Ways Tired” – HRC
“Obama hasn’t done his spadework” – HRC
“Obama is just the neighboring boy” – HRC surrogate
“Barrack Hussain Obama lies” – HRC surrogate
“Obama is like JFK & MLK, and we all know what happened to them” – HRC surrogate
“Bring your brooms & vacuum cleaners” – HRC

The point is that while some media sources are willing to bend over backwards to smear the GOP nominees, Clinton’s gaffe will be met with a sudden burst of responsible journalism.

The so-called jounalists will react to this the same way they did with Billy Jeff back in the 90s.

She’s clever, brilliant, a masterful tactician, the best politician evah.

In other words, she can lie with the best of them …. and that my friends would be Bill.

Wow bobby04040, that was annoying as hell.

As for this post, this is why AP is indispensable. It would be easy to write up a thoughtlessly, partisan post lambasting Hillary on this, but I prefer the objectivity.

Here's a interesting story about the town of Mexico, Maine sending their liberal governor a message about illegals. A snippet: "Mexico Selectmen voted tonight to send a second letter in asking Governor Baldacci to rescind his order which, in effect provides protection to illegal aliens and makes them eligible for more privileges."

Would a woman known for enjoying an occasional ethnic joke and clumsily tailoring her message to minority audiences really stoop to a stereotype like this?

Is McCain a RINO?
Is the Pope Catholic?
Does a wild bear chip in the woods?
Did Bill have sex with that woman?

I’d like to add a snarky remark here, but I think her campaign speaks for itself.

pathetic.
