Hillary will say and do anything
From the Hillary will say and/or do anything required to get elected files:
In a continuing effort to make this point Hillary's team was again insinuating this weekend in South Carolina that Barack Obama sold drugs as a youth in Chicago. Part of Hill's her coterie of corporate elites, BET founder, Robert Johnson, pictured above, put it out there in deliberate, carefully coded comments...
"I'm frankly insulted that the Obama campaign would imply that we are so stupid that we would think Bill and Hillary Clinton, who have been deeply and emotionally involved in black issues when Barack Obama was doing something in the neighborhood that I won't say what he was doing, but he said it in his book."-Johnson
Then when it generated controversy, he ran away from it, denied that was how he meant it.
"My comments today were referring to Barack Obama's time spent as a community organizer, and nothing else. Any other suggestion is simply irresponsible and incorrect."-Johnson
Oh yeah, they have always been honest, stand-up folks, Team Clinton, nothing disingenuous in those comments. Ha!! Hillary is the Democrats equivalent of George Bush II. She wants take the reins of power at all costs. Truth and morality, have no value to her other than as avenues to reach power, when necessary use them, when appropriate discard them. It is the Clintonian philosophy.

Does Johnson really believe people will believe he was talking about community service? What a p.o.s. -- and that's such clinton move, to say "I'm lying and you know I'm lying but there's nothing you can do to make me say that I'm lying." He perfected that long before w., who didn't perfect it but sure used the shit out of it.
It is amazing how comfortable societally we have become with spin, a.k.a. people in power bullshitting us. They no longer have to even give the appearance of caring about the truth, just be a good enough dissembler, and the truth is irrelevant. This is perhaps the worst legacy of the Clinton era. And I am befuddled that despite so much media it continues to happen and happen. Where are our standards for integrity?
