Clinton: McCain Hasn’t Done Enough To Stop Obama/Wright ads
done
GRAHAM, NC — Hillary Clinton says John McCain’s letter to North Carolina Republicans asking them to pull an ad featuring controversial pastor Jeremiah Wright didn’t go far enough to get the ads off the airwaves.
In the Tar Heel state, the GOP is attacking Lt Gov Beverly Eaves Perdue and Treasurer Richard Moore for endorsing Barack Obama — using a long segment of one of the more inflammatory speeches by Obama’s former reverend to paint the two local Democrats with the same anti-American brush. And in Mississippi, a congressional candidate has a similar ad attacking his Democratic opponent using Wright and Obama.
McCain wrote to the North Carolina party urging them to remove the ad from the air, but the party refused.
Senator Clinton told reporters today that McCain needs to go further. “I believe that if Senator McCain were serious, he would do more than send a letter,” she said. “He is the putative nominee. I think he could very clearly tell the North Carolina party, tell the Mississippi party that he would not tolearte these kinds of advertisements, and I’m waiting to see whether he does that.”

OBAMA/ WRIGHT ads. keep them running
And tomorrow she will be commenting on Rev Wright speech on Sunday 4/27/2008. Hillary has split personalities.
Good for her.

Clinton is not fooling anyone, she is FULL of Sh–, and I would NOT vote for her if she was the LAST or ONLY one on the ticket. She is hoping that add help her sorry self, which it will NOT, because there are too many educated voters out there that sees STRAIGHT through the “WITCH”
Look whos talking. She is the one who dug up all the dirt on Obama instead of focusing on the issues. Too late Hillary. We (African Americans) hate you.
this is just another hillawitch tactic , when will she learn that magic spells dont work anymore.
Hillary is a classy lady to want McCin to stop these ads but you can be sure that Obama wouldn’t do the same for her. I personally think the people of NC and the whole country should be reminded of what kind of racist, American hater, bitter, man they are considering running our country. Tell me who your friends or preacher are and you tell me who you are. Why should MacCain stop what Obama thought was good for over 20 years. He is obviously more loyal to Wright than Wright is to him. I respect what Senator Clinton is asking McCain to do but I don’t agree with her. Obama could agree to another debate and straighten out some of his problems but he is to afraid to hear what people will ask. Remember it is Obama who is playing the race card not anyone else.
how can anyone accuse obama of racism, the guy is as much black as he is white and you do remember that obama was first clasified as not black enough. the support he has now from african americans he had to earn, hillawitch started with the african american support and lost it beacause shes not bill shes a liar and simply shes not likable.
NOT McCain, NOT Hillary and NOT Obama SHALL ever dare to TELL us WHAT to say and to FORBID US to speak UNTIL they give us the GREEN light!
Giving us the right to speak IF and ONLY IF IT IS ACCEPTABLE to them!!!
Who the hell they think they are anyway?
Only the COMMUNISTS took that type of DICTATORIAL control over peoples’ right to speak!!!!!!!!
Is this the CHANGE that these “Three STOOGIES” have in mind for Americans?
HORRIBLE choices America has this time - the END of American traditional freedom IS NEAR!
Hillary will be the next president if we’re lucky.

Good post Sergio….people on these blogs try to tell people what they can and can’t feel/say/think…free speech is the crux of democracy

Your a real charmer. We (African Americans) hate you. You sound like a real winner. You are a real Obama supporter and it shows.
SHES RIGHT GOD BLESS HER
She asked McCain what? Tomorrow she will be after Obama or has she learned that negativity does not have any positive results in many people’s mind?

That is funny…she does not have a horse in that race!!! She’s trying the good cop/bad cop bit
Mr. Wright hates America and has so far refused to come clean. The attacks on him are NOT an attack on the black church, but an attack on a left wing communist/antiAmerican individual who hasn’t enough since to know what a good life he and other Blacks in America now have. Blacks in America are as equal as the education they let themselves get will allow. And those who do not or can not work for what they want and what they have can have it handed to them at all of the Tax Payers expense. Not just the white but all tax payers. He -Mr. Wright- needs to open his eyes and when he does, I am sure he would realize he is wrong and decency allowing, he would then apologize.

Senator Obama will be the democratic nominee for president. Senator Obama will get his clock cleaned by McCain in November. It’s all over but counting the electorial votes. Reverend Wright continues to send scud missles into the Obama campaign, and if you think the majority of voting Americans will forget all this crap in November, than you know nothing about this how country works. Those deluded democrats who think you can still, somehow, snatch victory from the jaws of defeat need to commence practicing your now traditional banshee cries of “voter fraud,” “dirty politics,” or whatever whining chant you love to screem after your horribly flawed candidate delivers his/her concession speech.
I think I’ll by stock in whatever corporation produces Kleenex. There will be huge demand in November.
Rev wright the gift that just keep’s on giveing…… Here we go the black’s blame Hillary for barack tie’s to wright. right debbie nj ….. Hillary did it. Hillary did it…… No sorry barack did it . Hillary did not bring the dirt. barack had the dirt……. So stop trying to blame Hillary. ps I hate barack
hey hillary…mcCain help wright the laws that allows this…how do like mccain/fiengold now?…and besides…it is none of his business who spreads the truth that he won’t speak.
GET OVER IT!!!

UMMMM, ya think? Of course she’s indignent. She’s smart enough to see a free ride and jump on.

Huh?????
…uuuhhhh, I believe obamas genetic makeup is
50% White
~42% Indonesian
~6% Black
ExT
No one is to blame for this but Obama .When he mispeaks or associates himself with the wrong person it not McCains or Clintons fault .And the Obama fans needs to quit blaming them for everytime he screws up.It is a shame how the black community has thrown the Clintons under the bus when they have done more for the blacks than Bush ever thought of .The only racist remarks have came from Rev Wright and Michelle Obama .
test
Hmm ok Senator Clinton. Last time I checked, Im pretty sure that Senator McCain has done more to try to stop those ads than you have!
For those who say she needs the Black vote…..No she doesn’t
AAs show up for the polls at 20%, its only cause Obamas running that there is this huge surge in that demographic voting. Believe me, she beats McCain with or without the black vote.
hey jane in PA…
what are the blacks to do then?…because the dnc is a “good ol white boys club” and obama will not get the nomination. the democrats entire history is entwined in racisim…they were formally known during the times that JW reflects on as the dixiecrats.
do you remember Al “low tolerance for negroes” Gore…he is now selling more whoppers (..about anthropogentic global warming) than burger king.
ExT
100% Hypocrite. She will say/do anything from day to day to win the nomination. She flies by the seat of her pants as the wind changes directions atop her broomstick.
Okay, which of the Hillarys are we seeing today. She knows she is in trouble with the black voters and she is only piling on McCain. At this point, I will still vote McCain if this woman gets the Democratic nomination. I am African American and once an enthusiastic supporter of the Clintons. They lost me in South Carolina. They will not win back my vote, no way, no how

HILLARY DOES NOT WANT THE NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICAN PARTY TO STOP RUNNING THE AD ON THE REV. WRIGHT!!!! IT KEEPS HER FROM HAVING TO SPEND MONEY ON THE AD HERSELF!!!!!
SHE IS A PIECE OF WORK!!!!!!
SHE LOVES THE REV. WRIGHT AD!!!!!
Jim you are so right.
Got to do what you got to do. FREE RIDE….. Y NOT?
Just let the people steal the nomination from Mr. Obama and you will see people take to the
streets including non blacks. America is tired of the same of Jim Crow that people like Rush
Limburger refer to as patrotism….
perhaps after JW gets moved into that 1.6 million dollar house in that exclusive all white, gated community…with that 10 million dollar expense account, provided by all those “poor” black people who attend TUCC…it will help temper his rhetoric?
this clown needs to take a “dirt nap”
i just love how these libs/obama supporters keep telling us bitter white folk that we get the “context” wrong when interpeting these tyraids by JW…but never provide the proper context themselves…it is always that we got it wrong, while pretending they know…this enables them to argue in the alternative. in reality though it is “applied ignorance” and intellectual dishonesty.
ExT
That has to be one of the dumbest things Hillary has ever said First of all, she needs to focus on Obama if she’s serious about winning. And second, McCain can’t tell any state party official or other candidate what to do. He’s not the head of the RNC.
I think Hillary is bi-polar. LOL!
Time out……… Did he? or did he not say Rev wright was not at his presidential bid party? I think he did.
Oh Hillary wise up. When are you going to realize that no matter how much you try to guard Obama’s back, he’s not going to return the favor.
PPW…”Just let the people steal the nomination from Mr. Obama”…are you kidding us…or are you just that ignorant? I thought this was America! We the people are the ones that vote and elect our officials. Get a clue or go stick your head back in the sand.

One thing that hasn’t changed - The American people can be easily distracted from the real issues. Anyone who thinks Obama and Wright are interchangeable is just plain worng. I am not here to change anyone’s mind, but it does seem odd that neither Hillary nor McCain can win on their own merits, they need to participate in “gang stalking” Obama. This is a sad day for American when a young man is subject to sort of racial hatred for words he never spoke.
I guess the economy, high gas and food prices don’t matter, the war doesn’t matter none of it matters. All that matters is what Rev Wright says and what William Ayers did in the 1960s.
I thought Obama was on the right track when he told us change happens from the bottom up. I was very excited to start running the govenrnment instead of the government running me. The problem is that Obama overestimated the American people. They are easily sucked into to racial hatred even at their own detriment. It’s a sad day for America.
@:o)-{=={ Can someone tell if i’m right about the rev wright thing????????????
Hillary Clinton does not belong to ANY church. She only goes to service to campaign for herself. I don’t think she should make negative comments about people who do go to church.

Is Hillary after the VP job now?
im sticking with the intelectuals they are usually right, i mean come on is it not clear as day light if you have functioning brain cells you vote obama if you dont you go for hillawitch and if youre brain dead you go for mcinsane is that clear.
oh and dont forget according to hillawitch she’s a native of………………… every state.
YA like the mean street’s of hawaii….. HA HA HA
Poor barack had to live in hawaii with his typical rich white grandmother for most of his life. poor baby… god is so mean.
OBAMA IS AFRAID TO DEBATE. HE CAN ONLY READ SPEECHES FROM A TELEPROMPTER — NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE OUR PRESIDENT! WE HAVE 50 STATES — NOT 48! COUNT THEIR VOTES!
TODAY, THE DNC STRUCK A “MONEY DEAL” WITH OBAMA. THIS JUST MIGHT ASSURE HIM THE VOTES OF THE SUPER-DELEGATES. WE NEED TO GET RID OF DEAN, PELOSI, REID, KENNEDY AND KERRY.
HOW SAD FOR ALL AMERICANS. OUR VOTES DON’T MATTER — MONEY DOES! THINK ABOUT TIES TO WRIGHT, AYERS, REZKO, FARRAKHAN, SINCLIAR, AMONG OTHERS!
WE NEED TO CLEAN OUT OUR WHITE HOUSE. WE NEED NEW REPRESENTATIVES FOR ALL 50 STATES! THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE FOR SENATORS AND CONGRESS MEMBERS.
VOTE HILLARY 2008!
Hillary…. let the Republicans do their thing… stay out of this… it’s actually helping you!!!
But I appreciate you taking the high road on this matter…. it may win you 2 black votes in North Carolina….
REP ALONE….. She know’s that but it is a free ride…….. save’s on gas..
the press and tv commentators can take credit for Wright for all the free exposure they give him and trying to divide the country. Don’t you think this racial divide should stop that you people create. It so repititious and becomming sickening, can’t watch your moderators any longer, especially Shep & Hannity Guess I’ll have to watch CNN
McCain has no obligation to do anything to stop what the local and state R’s are doing. That is their gig. He who pays the piper calls the tune and this tune is playing well in Albany to LA.
I wonder how much Wright was paid to come with charade now, and WHO PAID HIM after all he is retired now and the congregation built him a new home but now he needs cash to furnish it.
McCain is an Atheist. He shouldn’t be running for President.
hillary,
stop the madness! you know that mccain cant legally stop the ads. he can ask, which he did, but thats the most he can do. the ads are put out by PRIVATE persons of interest, not the republican party. now dont say anymore. let theads work (or not).
to Priscella for Obama….. Obama’s mother was an athesist… are you slamming his momma????
YA his momma?
Face it alot of people slamed his momma….
id like to thank STICKBOY for helping the OBAMA camp. i love that people get to see the true racist and hateful supporters of clinton. such a great reflection of herself. got any KOOL-AID stickboy?? im thursty! NO!grape please..
His mom is white so how am i a racist. and yes i do.
I have to admire Hillary for taking a beating and keeps ticking because the press has really bashed her, but she really is making a fool out of herself. She should be giving a quick update on what she has said in the past everyday like that movie, (I think it is called ‘50 First Dates’ W/Drew Barrymore) before she goes out on the campaign trail. She seems to have a split personality.
Hillary should just stay out of it. Let Mr Obama fight his own fight if he is man enough to. Thats what got him in trouble from the start. Everyone was fighting his battles for him. Now he has to stand on his own feet let see where they go.
And hate that was for debbie for sayin blacks hate Hillary. I don’t hate Barack. I just don’t like him.. Hate is a ugly thing…. GOD is not white GOD is not black GOD is not man or woman.. GOD is just GOD. And Barack love’s Rev wright for 20 year’s and wright think’s GOD is black.. and that is not right..
obama btw, never said that he was poor. he stated that his family wasnt rich. and hawaii has its sh$$holes too jus as any place does. obama pointed out that he wasnt as privlaged as the other candidates. but i have to give u ur props stickboy. u keep me entertained in this sh*&hole iraq. ur comments r by far my favorite.
EALY If you are in iraq GOD BLESS YOU MAN…. AND THANKS NO SH*T BESAFE… I will not mess with you out respect. I was to old when the sh*t hit the fan… 47…. tell all we love em …. F Hillary F Barack can not say F John he is a VET… GO U.S.A. AND GET THEM HOME!
in all honesty stickboy, i think both hillary and obama have greatly damaged the chances of getting a dem. in office this go around. fact remains that ill stilll be here regardless of who is in office. never agreed with this war but i do believe we have to finish it however long it takes. aiding countries and leaving has always been a mistake on our part. thanx for your support and it seems that u would be here if u could. ur support is good enough for me man.
EALY sorry but his grandmother was a vp for a bank in hawaii.. and i dated a chick in the 70’s and her mom was a vp and they where real rich.. and did’t barack say he was on foodstamp’s some thing’s just don’t add up ?
EALY If you did go home and not finish..I know it will follow you home.. so keep your head down and your eye’s open and GOD has got your back….
DEBATE! DEBATE!! DEBATE!!!
It’s time for everyone to face the truth. Barack Obama has no real chance of winning the national election in November at this time. His crushing defeat in Pennsylvania makes that fact crystal clear. His best, and only real chance of winning in November is on a ticket with Hillary Clinton as her VP.
Hillary Clinton seemed almost somber at her Pennsylvania victory speech. As if part of her was hoping Obama could have proved he had some chance of winning against the republican attack machine, and their unlimited money, and resources.
But it is absolutely essential that the democrats take back the Whitehouse in November. America, and the American people are in a very desperate condition now. And the whole World has been doing all that they can to help keep us propped up.
Hillary Clinton say’s that the heat, and decisions in the Whitehouse are much tougher than the ones on the campaign trail. But I think Mr. Obama faces a test of whether he has what it takes to be a commander and chief by facing the difficult facts, and the truth before him. And by doing what is best for the American people by dropping out of the race, and offering his whole hearted assistance to Hillary Clinton to help her take back the Whitehouse for the American people, and the World.
Mr. Obama is a great speaker. And I am confident he can explain to the American people the need, and wisdom of such a personal sacrifice for them. It should be clear to everyone by now that Hillary Clinton is fighting her heart out for the American people. She has known for a long time that Mr. Obama can not win this November. You have to remember that the Clinton’s have won the Whitehouse twice before. They know what it takes.
If Mr. Obama fails his test of commander and chief we can only hope that Hillary Clinton can continue her heroic fight for the American people. And that she prevails. She will need all the continual support and help we can give her. She may fight like a superhuman. But she is only human.
Sen. Hillary Clinton: “You know, more people have now voted for me than have voted for my opponent. In fact, I now have more votes than anybody has ever had in a primary contest for a nomination. And it’s also clear that we’ve got nine more important contests to go.”
Sincerely

Stickboy, Jesus is Black God is God. Hate is wrong, and sometimes people use that word out of frustration. I am Black and a woman, and I don’t hate Clinton, but I don’t trust her. And I won’t Vote for her in the primary, but I am a true patriot, so if nominated I’ll hold my nose and vote for her in the general election, because I commented my word to the Democratic party. There are some real tricky things going on within the establishment and we need to change directions. Obama would be the most scrutinized president ever, and he would be more prone to address the problems for solutions that benifit the people for a change instead of personal profit.
I trusted Bill through it all, but he seems to treat that trust with indifference. I don’t hate him, but I am disappointed. You are wrong about Rev. Wright, because he did not say anything unbiblical really. His message may not be desirable to many, but that is what the bible says about messages sent to his people by man.
Hillary Clinton will not be the next President Girls face it, and if we are tricked by the GOP neither will Obama. Watch the story lines and how they change if you get out of the way you can read between the lines. They are playing the Dems. gottcha!!!!
perhaps ur right STICKBOY. but my grandmother was not rich but well off. although the relationship was good, my mother never asked her for anything. we suffered a great deal of hardships before my mother was able to do better. doesnt prove his story, jus throwing that out there. besides, im not able to view speeches and debates from my location and we arent allow access to many sites for security reasons. so my sources are limited to few sites i can access which is biased one way or the other. not so reliable…..but there is jus something i see in obama. in fact all three candidates have their strong points. our commander in chief, love him or hate him…he always been true to his convictions and that goes a long way with me. 1EALY4OBAMA
Queen sweethart no that is just not right if my preist said that crap about black’s white’s jew’s. I’d tell him to go to hell.. and walk out and my GOD will stand next to me on that… hate is hate . and Rev wright hate’s white’s no dout about it.. If i’m not right show me the light..
Jacksmith,
Clintons claim to having the most votes in history holds about as much water as hell. Hillary herself along with the other candidates agreed to boycott michigan due to improper prodedures. counting michigan may have given her more votes. but it could have done the same for obama. why did she place her name after the agreement to boycott michigan?? did she no something that the other candidates didnt? that jus another backdoor clinton tactic that jus wont fly. Clinton is a strong woman but her willingness to do whatever it takes wrong or right for personal glory worries me.
Queen How do you know JESUS was black? did you know him? I think he was brown… Buy the way I have yet to meet a black man or a white man??????? I’ve met alot of brown & tan men.. But no I do not think JESUS was a black man…. just a man…..OK @:O)
u mean all those pictures and paintings of JESUS ive seen my whole life are wrong?? lol…does it really matter? GOD is a being greater than anything we can think of. a being that can be equated by no one on this earth in any form or fashion. he gave all people of all races a piece of him. im no scientist so i have no idea of what color that would make him.
You got that right EALY..
We all are the children of GOD and that is that.. We must do good by him….. If you want to live in his house.. and with that Stickboy has work to do… So EALY stay safe and GOOD BLESS YOU ALL IN IRAQ MAY YOU ALL COME HOME SAFE & SOUND & SOON…. GOD IS RIGHT NEXT TO YOU… Thank’s my brother………GO U.S.A

It’s so sad how this race has become completely about race. The Clinton’s are not racists and everyone knows it. When 92% of blacks in this country (13% of our population is black) are completely in support of Obama because he’s black that makes me sad. I can tell you
