Slick Willy Continues To Play The Race Card...

Bill Clinton Bristles Anew Over Questions About ‘Race Card’

"Former President Bill Clinton had a testy encounter Tuesday with reporters who questioned his remarks in a radio interview in which he accused Barack Obama’s campaign of unfairly playing the race card on him.

“You always follow me around and play these little games,” Clinton shot back at an ABC News reporter who questioned him about a phone interview with Philadelphia public radio station WHYY.

On Monday, an audibly irritated Clinton railed against the Obama campaign for what he described as an effort to twist comments made in South Carolina on Jan. 26, the Palmetto State’s presidential primary election day.

In the remarks that sparked the furor, Clinton compared Obama’s campaign to that of civil rights activist Jesse Jackson.

“Jesse Jackson won in South Carolina twice in ‘84 and’88, and he ran a good campaign, and Senator Obama has run a good campaign. He has run a good campaign everywhere. He’s got a good — He is a good candidate with a good organization,” Clinton said.

Obama supporters said the remarks were meant to belittle Obama by comparing him with a black candidate whose appeal was more narrow. Obama called the remarks hallmarks of the politics of racism.

Asked Monday if he regretted the comment, Clinton responded: “No, I think that they played the race card on me, and we now know from memos in the campaign and everything that they planned to do it all along.

“Do I regret saying it? No. Do I regret that it was used that way? I certainly do. But you’ve really got to go some (distance) to portray me as a racist,” Clinton said, adding that he has an office in Harlem, and Jackson told him personally he was not offended.

“I called him and asked him if he found anything offensive. And he just laughed and he said, ‘Of course I don’t. We all know what’s going on,’ ” Clinton said.

Clinton told WHYY that he has “conceded that this was used against me, but this was a conversation that occurred early in the morning. We didn’t even know what the vote was going to be at the time. We were all sitting around, drinking coffee — we just finished breakfast — and we were starting, we were talking about South Carolina political history.

“And this was used out of context, and this was twisted for political purposes by the Obama campaign to try to breed resentment elsewhere.”

The former president added a more colorful remark at the end of an interview when he appeared to think he was off-mic.

“I don’t think I should take any sh** from anybody on that, do you?” he apparently asked someone in the room.

A reporter on Tuesday asked Clinton what he meant when he said the Obama campaign was playing the race card on him.

Clinton responded: “No, no, no, that’s not what I said. … You always follow me around and play these little games. And I am not going to play your games today. This is a day about Election Day. Go back and see what the question was, and what my answer was. You have mischaracterized it just to get another cheap story to divert the American people from the real urgent issues before us, and I choose not to play your game today.”

The Clintons are such obsessive liars its hard to tell if this is a pathology with him. He says something on record, is called on it, then says he never said it.

We're not talking about Hillary making stuff up that happened years ago. She thought the media would let the Bosnian sniper-fire lie slide and was sadly mistaken, so you'd think that BJ Billy would be more careful with HIS untruths.

Then again, its only the blacks he's pissing off and the Clinton campaign lost them ages ago. Another Clinton imprimatur: You're only important if you're on our side.
