Re: "Our Bill" not any more
From the Denver Post:
Quote:
But, of course, race does matter. It mattered months ago when perpetual Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said that, in Obama, we have "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy." It continued when the co-chair of Hillary's campaign, William Shaheen, said that Obama would have to answer questions like: " 'Did you ever give drugs to anyone? Did you sell them to anyone?' There are so many openings for Republican dirty tricks." (Yeah. Republican dirty tricks.)
It persists with former Democratic Atlanta mayor and Clinton supporter Andrew Young, saying, according to a New York Times columnist, that "Bill is every bit as black as Barack. He's probably gone with more black women than Barack."
You know, these are the sorts of comments that any good liberal will tell you are utterly racist and misogynistic — especially when they come from the mouth of a Republican.
How could this have happened to the party of tolerance? Hillary is married to Bill, after all.

We just have to try to evaluate them the best we can."
