A few more election cycles and I doubt anyone will even remember it once referred to a truly vicious smear of John Kerry’s military service.

Francis,
…and I’ve asked this question before, but if Obama never served in the military, and being “swiftboated” refers to disputing charges about one’s military service….then how is that happening to Obama? Or are you just using that as a generic term?

He sounded like he had read my post on South Carolina and the Black vote.

….WAYYY too many ‘ Safe’ Negroes come on Hardball, even the ones that I love.

I loved Leo being ‘out there’. See – was that so hard? Leo is worth 1000 Stephen A. Smiths, and 100 of that pansy from the Washington Post with the horn-rimmed glasses that just gets on my nerves with his buckdance.

Now, I’m sorry but anyone who claims they believe Johnson’s claim that his comment was about Obama’s days as a community organizer is either a liar, a fool, or both.

Extremely disappointed in Earl. Its amazing how that all mighty dollar will make folks sell their own mama so to speak. It seems as though Earl is on the Clinton payroll. On the other hand, his comments could be just plain old self-hatred or the remnants of a slave-mentality.

I just wanted to kiss him.

It’s the most excellent Clinton Attacks Obama Wiki started by the writers of this blog. It’s a useful resource for keeping track as these attacks are coming fast and furious in pile-on fashion. Of course, you may feel free to use the comments section of the Wiki for your vigorous arguments as to why the entries are incorrect.

You said you understood what dnA was saying, but then you go on ahead with your original point. Like said, there haven’t been such posts about people like Matt Stoller, Paul Rosenberg, Ezra Klein, Paul Krugman, etc., at least in part because they don’t use race in their criticisms.

Your worry over Obama supporters is oft-heard through the progressive blogosphere, (I hate that word so much) but it is a strange criticism, since it could easily describe other bloggers and posters who unnervingly support other Democratic candidates. It’s always been true of politics; for any campaign with a serious chance at winning an election or crafting policy, there have ALWAYS had to be fiercely loyal partisans.

This is a distortion that is being continually repeated that is false. Obama said nothing about Hillary’s remarks for days and when he did he said the comments were ‘ill advised’

It was the black media and community who pounced on HRC’s comments and who were rightly outraged.

Obama simply let HRC stew in the mess of her own making until after a week he extended an olive branch.

That was smart politics. HRC made her bed she needed to lie in it as her remarks were just another in a string of comments from her campaign that were racially biased and the specious analogy about LBJ and MLK established a clear pattern

What needs to stop is all assertions that it was Obama who initiated or ‘blew up’ her remarks.

Obama didn’t need to as the black community can think for themselves and determined what is objectionable.

Obama said nothing as he did not need to.

I just have a major problem (and I’ve attempted to outline this before) when anyone writes off a person because they say something critical about Obama. Even more so when that critic is another African American.

The above-referenced “Official Obama Hater Watch List” may have been a joke, but I guarantee that someone, somewhere is keeping track of that information.

For a candidate who’s playing the role of being above the normal political fray (or at least trying to play that role), it’s kinda sad that his supporters would suggest tracking who doesn’t support him. Sounds a bit McCarthyish to me.

The point of the post was that Hutchinson wrote an entire book about how American society has stereotyped black males, and then kept his mouth shut while the Clintons did the same thing.

You’ll notice that not one post on this blog has been devoted to criticizing say, Paul Krugman or Matt Stoller, or Ezra Klein or any number of progressives who have criticized Obama. That’s because they don’t use race.

Also, take a look at Hutchinson’s archive on Huffington and tell me he’s not a Clinton supporter.
