Hillary Minion Brings Up Obama’s Drug Use
From the NY Times via Sweetness & Light
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Robert L. Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television, who is campaigning today in South Carolina with Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, just made a suggestion that raised the specter of Barack Obama’s past drug use. He also compared Mr. Obama to Sidney Poitier, the black actor, in “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.”At a rally here for Mrs. Clinton at Columbia College, Mr. Johnson was defending recent comments that Mrs. Clinton made regarding Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. She did not mean to take any credit away from him, Mr. Johnson said, when she said that it took President Johnson to sign the civil rights legislation he fought for.Dr. King had led a “moral crusade,” Mr. Johnson said, but such crusades have to be “written into law.”
“That is the way the legislative process works in this nation and that takes political leadership,” he said. “That’s all Hillary was saying.”
He then added: “And to me, as an African-American, I am frankly insulted that the Obama campaign would imply that we are so stupid that we would think Hillary and Bill Clinton, who have been deeply and emotionally involved in black issues since Barack Obama was doing something in the neighborhood – and I won’t say what he was doing, but he said it in the book – when they have been involved.”
Moments later, he added: “That kind of campaign behavior does not resonate with me, for a guy who says, ‘I want to be a reasonable, likable, Sidney Poitier ‘Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.’ And I’m thinking, I’m thinking to myself, this ain’t a movie, Sidney. This is real life.”
Gee, yet another Clinton hireling attacking Mr. Obama for his drug use and/or dealing.
(And just after attending church services, too.)
Still, why doesn’t Obama just explain how he “didn’t inhale” and put it all behind him?
Over at Michelle Malkin She brings up the Sidney Poitier remark:
This is how they view Obama–as the unbearably, too perfect, too presumptuous, accomplished black doctor character in “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.”If Obama is Poitier, then Johnson and Hillary’s black demagogues are the real-life analogies of Spencer Tracey and Katharine Hepburn’s racist black maid, Tillie, who derides Poitier and treats him as a traitor to his race.
A bit of movie trivia:
The film also attempted to touch upon black-on-black racism, as when both the doctor’s father and the household cook Matilda ‘Tillie’ Binks, played by Isabel Sanford in a small but memorable role, take the young man to task for his perceived presumption……The original version of this film that played in theaters in 1967 contained the sarcastic one-liner “The Reverend Martin Luther King!”, issued by the sassy black maid Tillie in response to the question, “Guess who’s coming to dinner?”, which is the key line of dialogue from which the film got its title. However, after the assassination of Martin Luther King on April 4, 1968, this line was removed from the film, so by August 1968, almost all theater showings of this film had this line omitted. As early as 1969, the line was restored to many but not most prints, and the line was preserved in the VHS and DVD versions of the film as well.
Folks let me tell you, although I’m not a Democrat and have no intention on voting for either of these people Hillary fucked up. Black folks even ones who may not have voted for Obama will turn on her racist ass in a heartbeat. Black folks are not going to allow a white politician, even the Clintons, to drag another black man on the back of the figurative pick-up truck.
The Democrat Party is in serious trouble on this issue, all of these years the Democrats have bitched and moaned and distorted the fact that it was the Republicans who were the primary arbiters of racist and bigoted politics.
Hillary wants to be president badly, and like Dick Morris said she is not beyond destroying Obama on race issues to capture the White House.
Obama watch your back!!!
