If the Clinton backlash is much ado about nothing, why is Bill doing damage control?

I see a lot of folks on DU mocking and ridiculing those of us who feel that the Clintons have recently resorted to some racially offensive tactics. Saying we are over reacting treating us like we are crazy people making things up.

2. Because his comment was taken out of context. He is setting record straight !
If people twist your words to gain a pokitical advantage you must set the record straight.

3. I don't know, but he surely didn't defend them very well. I've heard no positive
coverage in the two different broadcasts I've seen/heard about it.

4. He's damned if he does and he's screwed if he doesn't. At least he's stepping up to the plate.

8. And while many of you mock and ridicule Bill at least extends an olive branch. . .
. . .that is a lot more than the folks who are telling us we are crazy race baiters.

5. gee, maybe because Clinton can't afford to lose supporters
but I'm not politically savvy so maybe it has nothing to do with voters and just has to do with the comments on DU

21. You're right. There is no good outcome here. But nobody called
the Clintons bigots. They're just accused of using racist tactics for personal gain. Republicans do it all the time. Most of them are no more racist or homophobic than the average Dem.

6. This is embarrassing, shameful, humiliating
I don't know what to say to the reaction about these out and out racist statements. I really don't. I don't know how people defend "shuck and jive" and now the imaginary hip friend bullshit, the slam on MLK. I don't know what to say. It's just awful.

10. Didn't you hear? "Shuck 'N Jive" is just a quaintly archaic way of speaking.

Kerry was swiftboated in 2004 and didn't want to respond to lies
so he waited and see what a mistake that was.

14. There have been more than a few posts I never submitted
because they could be totally misinterpreted. Probably this one too. Better to not say anything.

13. Because Drudge breathlessly reports anything anti Hillary and then it gets reposted here
and on other sites and people around the country read it.

15. So you are blaming Drudge for things printed in the NY Times, Washington Post and on CNN's website?

20. Well I for one hope that Hillary's team will be more considerate
concerning those who brought them to the dance. They have behaved like fair-weather friends. I hope they will reconsider their tactis before they destroy the party in their efforts to realize THEIR dream of getting Hillary elected. There are things that are more important than that.

She better be "Miss Peace at Any Price". She better not defend herself - that would be RACIST.
