“People feel genuinely concerned about whether we are reaching a tipping point, where if we don’t make some decisions now, we’re not going to be able to solve some very major problems,” Obama said. “There’s just a sense we’re out of balance, we’re out of whack and the American people are going to have to engage if we’re going to be able to solve these problems.”from here

Just about every conservative today (not just some, almost all) has some racist connection in the past.
Please place my quote back in the context I speak (Clinton’s memoirs)

He’s an opportunistic politician…pure and simple.
Politician? Opportunistic? No way….

I await the excerpts from My Life…
Here are a few example:

On Whitewater:

“The other problem was that the jury didn’t have all the facts about David Hale’s connections to my political adversaries…The jury didn’t know about the money and support Hale had been receiving from a clandestine effort known as the Arkansas Porject. The Arkansas Project was funded by the ultra-conservative billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife…working through Parker Dozhier, a former aide to Justice Jim Johnson, the project set up a haven for Hale at Dozhier’s bait should outside Hot Springs” (711)

“The racists had a far more fervent champion in Justice Jim Johnson, who had risen from humble roots in Crossett, in southeast Arkansas, to the state supreme court on rhetoric that won the endorsement of the Ku Klux Klan in the governor’s race…with Johnson, racism was theology” (84)

“…a conservative group called Citizens United, whose principals were Floyd Brown and David Bossie. Brown had produced the infamous Willie Horton ads against Mike Dukakis in 1988. Bossie had helped him write a book for the 1992 campaign entitled Slick Willie: Why America Cannot Trust Bill Clinton, in which the authors gave “special thanks” to Justice Johnson” (586).

“I could understand why right-wingers like Rush Limbaugh, Bill Danemeyer, Jerry Falwell, and a paper like the Washington Times would say such things. The Washington Times was avowededly right-wing, financed by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, and edited by Wes Pruden Jr., whose father, The Reverent Wesley Pruden, had bveen a chaplain of hte Citizens’ Council in Arkansas and an ally of Justice Jim Johnson’s in their lost crusade against civil rights for blacks (588).”

Now, I was gonna look up more but I realized that the book is 1,000 pages long and I read it 1 1/2 year ago. It is not computer searchable. The only way I found these was by looking up “Johnson, Jim” in the index. If you pay me $50/hr, I will quit my softball team, stop going to the gym, and start reading from the beginning, and type every quote out for you. You’re also welcome to borrow my book.

Just about every conservative today (not just some, almost all) has some racist connection in the past.

That is what you wrote (emphasis mine).

If you would like to back away from that assertion, please do.

Here’s how I see the events vis-a-vis Obama/hip-hop:

(1) Obama is appearing in a photo-op with Ludacris to talk about “empowering the youth”.

The stars were aligned in Chicago Wednesday, and they were there to talk about lighting the way for the nation’s youth.

U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, contemplating a run for president, met privately with rapper Ludacris to talk about young people.

“We talked about empowering the youth,” said the artist, whose real name is Chris Bridges.

(2) Ludacris is polluting the youth culture.

Youza Hoooooo!

(3) When Don Imus does a poor imitation of a rapper on the air, Obama calls him out.

“He didn’t just cross the line,” Mr. Obama said in an interview with ABC News. “He fed into some of the worst stereotypes that my two young daughters are having to deal with today in America.”

(4) Later, Obama criticizes the cultural pollution of rap.

“Turn on the radio station. There are a whole lot of songs that use the same language…we’ve been permitting it in our homes, and in our schools and on iPods.”

Now, this strikes me as rank opportunism.

Did he even know who Ludacris was when they met last year to talk about empowering young people? Did he care? Apparently not. Reading five lines of Ludacris lyrics should make you cringe. Reading or listening to Ludacris reinforces “the worst stereotypes” more than anything Imus has said or done.

But all that doesn’t matter to Obama. He’s an opportunistic politician…pure and simple.

Now, back to my challenge.

Show me photos of Romney, McCain, Giuliani, Huckabee, Brownback, etc, with popular racists, talking about “empowering the youth”.

Obama wasn’t captured by a paparazzi shaking hands with Ludacris at some Rock The Vote event. Obama purposefully met with Ludcris to talk about “lighting the way for the nation’s youth”. So, show me similar connections between major conservative politicians today and the “KKK/white supremacists/segregationists”.

I await the excerpts from My Life…

I’m at work right now, but I’ll pull some examples tonight. You can borrow my copy if you want.

If you read Bill Clinton’s memoirs, you’ll see that he can link just about every conservative with some KKK/White Supremacist/Segragationist.

Huh? How does he do this, by playing the six degrees of David Duke?

Just about every conservative today (not just some, almost all) has some racist connection in the past.

Ok. You just broke my BS meter.

I call your bluff.

Link five of the current GOP presidential field to the KKK or white supremacists. Show me photos of them with popular racists talking about “race relations” or “empowering the youth.”
