Bill Clinton will be on Larry King tonight, but we already know what he says because of the Internet. He’s postponing his Florida campaigning to honor the Jewish high holidays, because… well, let Bill himself confirm the very obvious political motive: “But I think it would be — if we’re trying to win in Florida, it may be that.” You know, offending the Jews during their party week or whatever. And then he says this: “You know, they think that because of who I am and where my politic[al] base has traditionally been, they may want me to go sort of hustle up what Lawton Chiles used to call the ‘cracker vote’ there.” He is so insane. [Ben Smith]

Essentially? He fears the power of circumcision.
Breaking News: McCain wants to postpose the debate.
All hail President Sammy Davis, Jr.

Calling jews ‘crakers’ is funny.
Clinton is out to get the cracker/matzoh vote. Bill Richardson is going to get the tortilla vote. Steve Schmidt is starting a whisper campaign that Obama already has the Halal vote wrapped up.

Good thing people in Florida can’t read, otherwise that “cracker” comment would really cut them deep.
Can iz has mih blo jub naw?
nom nom nom
He is going to crack those crackers for Obama, ya’ heaa?
I have been to Florida, and there are no black people there, except in Miami, and they are all cubans, so exactly what is he talking about? He has gone Reagan on us.
I can haz prmission to start liking Bill again?
Who is this man and why is he relevant? Reminds me of someone who once got a blow job from a Jewish American Princess.
[re=106260]ManchuCandidate[/re]: You’re going to have narrow it down a bit more than that.
Bubba needs to shut the fuck up. He needs to smile, do the slow “thumbs up” thing, and when people say something just lower his head a little and clap. And STFU.
I love me some Bill Clinton…but hasn’t he seemed to go off the reservation message-wise lately? I think he just doesn’t give a f#@#@ anymore.
I know cracker voters, Ben Smith, and you’re no cracker voter.
And remember, “The old he-coon walks just before the light of day.”
Memo to bill: In addition to “crackers”, “Swampbillies” is also an acceptable nomenclature.
[re=106295]IslandGirlFL[/re]: they’re doing some world-class clusterfucking to ensure candidate Hillz in ’12.
As someone who is truly and actually half Cracker / half Jewish, I resemble that comment.
Oh, and someone needs to tell Bill that you can’t call people crackers anymore. Thems days are over!
[re=106315]RobPetrified[/re]: word!
[re=106315]RobPetrified[/re]: But is he taking a potato cannon?
This reminds of John Travolta sporting the yarmulke while eating cheesecake with the Jews in Primary Colors. Some images, real or recreated, just can’t be forgotten.
I know I should be appalled by what he’s been saying of late, but I just can’t help liking the guy. He’s like that really likeable uncle that hits on your girlfriend. You let it slide and laugh it off when she complains because you and he used to have farting contests when you were a kid.
[re=106410]IslandGirlFL[/re]:
Probably not. But there are rumors of a pearl necklace.
[re=106429]Citizen Kang[/re]: No.
[re=106241]Monkey[/re]: Central Florida
I was feeling pretty good about Hillary and pretty terrible about Bill until I realized this whole orchestrated thing is another lame triangulation, Hillary GoodCop / Bill BadCop. People will forget about his seething anger and failures during her campaign and how they influenced this election, and only remember how kind and nice she was after she lost.
My expectations were set really low for her after the primaries, but even after my opinion of them was lowered, I still can’t help but think “it could be worse”.
He’s not just using an offensive term, he’s basically accusing Obama of exploiting him as a white male campaign object. He’s trying to compare this to the way that we as Black people (i’m black) talk about how we’re used as token’s when white people send us out to talk to other black people.
I’ve seen more footage. He gushes about Palin and McCain, and he clearly hates Obama so much that it’s getting embarrassing to watch. Maybe Obama just needs to tell him to stay home and start working on the Clinton 2012 campaign which is what he’s doing anyway.
