Bill Clinton to Ted Kennedy During 2008 Campaign: "A Few Years Ago Obama Would Have Been Getting us Coffee"...


Here comes the waaaacist police! Note: Supposedly Chappaquiddick Ted was "deeply offended" which I find very hard to believe....

One of the enduring mysteries of the 2008 campaign was what got Ted Kennedy so mad at Bill Clinton. The former president's entreaties, at some point, backfired, and the explanation has never quite emerged.

I've finally gotten my hands on a copy of Game Change, in which Heliemann and Halperin report:

[A]s Hillary bungled Caroline, Bill’s handling of Ted was even worse. The day after Iowa, he phoned Kennedy and pressed for an endorsement, making the case for his wife. But Bill then went on, belittling Obama in a manner that deeply offended Kennedy. Recounting the conversation later to a friend, Teddy fumed that Clinton had said, A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.

You beat me to it.

UD, Zip, LT, Furry Foot, et al, love to pint out that all the racists in the Democrat Party somehow migrated to the Republican Party...well they forgot the one they worshiped and elected to the White House...ahahahahahaha.

Anyone remember a Senator named Lott?


I think Harry Reid does...

Obama in '02: 'The Republican Party itself has to drive out Trent Lott'
ShareThis5:28 PM, Jan 9, 2010 · BY John McCormack
In light of President Obama's decision to forgive Harry Reid's remarks about Obama's skin color and lack of a "Negro dialect," check out what Obama said about Trent Lott in 2002:

Illinois Senator Barack Obama (D-13th), who hosted WVON's Cliff Kelley Show, challenged the Republican Party to repudiate Lott's remarks and to call for his resignation as senate leader.

"It seems to be that we can forgive a 100-year-old senator for some of the indiscretion of his youth, but, what is more difficult to forgive is the current president of the U.S. Senate (Lott) suggesting we had been better off if we had followed a segregationist path in this country after all of the battles and fights for civil rights and all the work that we still have to do," said Obama.

He said: "The Republican Party itself has to drive out Trent Lott. If they have to stand for something, they have to stand up and say this is not the person we want representing our party."
--From the December 12, 2002 issue of the Chicago Defender.

MICHAEL STEELE: Reid should step down from leadership role for ‘Negro’ remark.


“I think he should, if the standard is the one set by [Trent Lott],” Steele said on “Fox News Sunday” when asked if Reid should resign his post. Trent Lott resigned his post as Majority Leader in 2002 after praising Strom Thurmond’s 1948 presidential candidacy during a birthday celebration for the 100-year-old South Carolinian.

Mark Halperin and John Heliemann report in their new book, “Game Change,” that Reid said during the campaign he thought Obama could win because, while black, he was “light-skinned” and lacked a “Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”

Hmm. Remember when Reid disparaged Clarence Thomas’s language skills? More on that here. “We suppose Reid will find some staff knucklehead to take the fall for this appallingly shoddy research, but the question remains: Why is the Democratic leader of the U.S. Senate so intent on insulting the intelligence of Clarence Thomas, the only black member of the Supreme Court?” While demonstrating that he himself hasn’t actually read anything relevant? Yep, Reid is an inspirational figure, proof that one needs neither personal appeal nor political skill to rise to Senate Majority Leader.

Re: Reid's Negro Problem [Jonathan Adler]


Might Senator Reid just have a problem with "negro" accomplishments? His remarks about then-candidate Obama remind me of his offensively dismissive comments about Justice Clarence Thomas from December 2004. Back then, Reid called Thomas an "embarrassment" on the court because "his opinions are poorly written." Yet when asked to support his charge, Reid fell flat, making patently false claims about Thomas' opinions (among other things). Significantly, Reid did not simply criticize Thomas for being too conservative or too willing to overturn precedent. Instead, in an effort to distinguish Thomas from Scalia, he suggested that Justice Thomas was not up to the job and that Thomas wrote at a grade-school level. For those who follow the Supreme Court, Reid's comments were ignorant and absurd, but also somewhat predictable as they played upon the stereotype of Justice Thomas as an affirmative action baby who was not qualified to be on the court. Rep. Melvin Watt, then Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, reportedly wrote Reid to caution him against making such comments, particularly insofar as they play upon racial stereotypes and caricatures. Apparently Reid was unable to follow Rep. Watt's advice.

It all depends on the context. What were they saying about him before and after? That will be what makes it racist or not.
