I watched a few minutes of the Today show this morning.

They had staged Hillary! supporters behind the anchors. They had Lester Holt out shilling for Hillary! – saying things like “even a win here for Obama is a loss, because of all the black voters”

The really frightening thing is not that the Clinton’s or the MSM are slime…but that their transparently disgusting tactics work.

Why would anyone respond to this kind of crap???

I think I’ll move to France, where things are starting to make sense.

That’s all Joe Scarborough can muster any more. Morning Joe needs to switch from decaf.

Update: Clyburn had better start pushing this “blame Huckabee” meme a lot harder because blacks have a crazy idea that the fault lies mostly with Bill Clinton.

Dick Morris says this is the Clintons’ plan… To get a black backlash… a blacklash, if you will, which is then supposed to get all the white liberals to band together for the Clintons. I heard this theory elsewhere too, but Morris laid it all out on O’Reilly last night.. I would say it sounds like a dumb idea, but we’re talking about Dems here, so it just might work.

Clyburn’s private pleadings to Hillary to cut out the racially coded cr*p shows he knows nhw race got introduced in a toxic fashion into the campaign.

A black, evangelical– like, say, Alan Keyes.

So says Peggy Noonan as well in today’s very good column.

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention, updated throughout the day…so check back often….

Huckabee’s a Rep, he has no bearing on the chicanery and disgraceful episodes happening on the left.

You will never see an African-American Democratic President of the United States.

Obama, who commendably avoided race and gender politics even when pressed on it, has now been forced and compartmentalized into a racialized campaign.

This was what the Clinton’s wanted. They are done with African-Americans and don’t care about the lost demographic, because Latinos will make up for the losses.

Republicans on the other hand wish they had a black candidate to represent their platform.

Next time some Democrat spouts off to you about racist Republicans, remind them that their favorite US President reanimated Jim Crow just so he could find a new intern.

Bill Clinton is a racist mother****er. I’m spitting blood and fire right now.

Well, except for Joe and Mika, who politely declined to press him on it.

Come on Allah, you gotta give Joe credit. It’s not like he didn’t have any rebuttal.

I distinctly heard him say ……… “Hmm”.

president looks like a victim in the cut-and-thrust of the race.

I always thought clinton did the thrusting and wasnt the recipient of it?

…I don’t want to sound disingenuous here…

but he is!

Remember when Clyburn said this?

House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said Monday that a strongly positive report on progress on Iraq by Army Gen. David Petraeus likely would split Democrats in the House and impede his party’s efforts to press for a timetable to end the war.

Clyburn, in an interview with the washingtonpost.com video program PostTalk, said Democrats might be wise to wait for the Petraeus report, scheduled to be delivered in September, before charting next steps in their year-long struggle with President Bush over the direction of U.S. strategy.

Clyburn noted that Petraeus carries significant weight among the 47 members of the Blue Dog caucus in the House, a group of moderate to conservative Democrats. Without their support, he said, Democratic leaders would find it virtually impossible to pass legislation setting a timetable for withdrawal.

“I think there would be enough support in that group to want to stay the course and if the Republicans were to stay united as they have been, then it would be a problem for us,” Clyburn said.
