[QUOTE= Liberal] Everybody knows black men are lazy. As Hillary’s spokesspooks have taught us, Obama couldn’t have gotten where he is if he didn’t have all the advantages that accrue to being black. [/QUOTE] Spokes[SPOOKS?!?!?](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=spook) !?!?!?!!? Is that how you refer to black people working for Hillary?!?!?! You RACIST!!!twenty-five!!! I should PIT you, but… pits are dark, and black people are dark, so I wouldn’t want to compund your racism by appearing racist in condemning your racism, you racist. ---

[QUOTE=Revtim] Yeah, like that debate where Clinton responded to everything Obama said with “nigga please!”. That seemed somewhat out of line to me. [/QUOTE] Well it was equally out of place for Obama to reply “shut up ho,” then pimp slap her. ---

She was asked about her US/Mexico border policy, and she said “Dig a ditch, please.” These things are always taken out of context. ---

The cover of this week’s \*New Yorker \* says it all. They (Hillary and Barack) are in the same bed and the red phone is ringing off the hook and she reaches to answer it, only because it is on her side of the bed. Precious. But, ya know, if I have to listen ya know to a ya know president who says, ya know, “ya know” several times in every ya know sentence, ya know, I’ll ya know. move to ya know Juneau. He’s not nearly as bad in this as she. ---

I like [Tracy Morgan’s](http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/play.shtml?mea=229454) response to the 3am ad, Geraldine Ferraro’s jibe, and the virtual endorsement Tina Fey gave Hillary two weeks ago (you have to watch a commercial before the clip plays). ---

[QUOTE=Harborwolf] Well it was equally out of place for Obama to reply “shut up ho,” then pimp slap her. [/QUOTE] He can’t, of course, actually say that. But Og, it’d sure be sweet if he did that just once. (Sounds like fodder for an _SNL_ sketch.) Actually, I sometimes wonder if Obama isn’t _too_ cool, calm, collected, etc., for his own good. I get this inkling that maybe someday all of these repressed bitch slaps will suddenly burst forth. Hope not. Well, at least Obama will answer the phone. Reagan’s aides didn’t even _try_ to phone _him_ in the middle of the night. . . . ---

[QUOTE=Boyo Jim] You know if the phone rings at 3 AM for Hillary, she will just give Bill a shot with her elbow to get him to answer it, who will poke Monica with his, er, “knee”, and she will answer it. But Linda Tripp will be recording it anyway, so what’s the BFD about how ready you have to be? [/QUOTE] I assumed that a 3 AM call to Hillary would probably be a gumshoe reporting on Bill’s latest escapade. ---

Niggas please - can’t you see the racism? It’s not that Obama is too lazy to answer the phone, it’s that he’s still out hangin’ with his homies drinkin’ 40’s of malt liquor and ain’t got home yet. Of course. ---

[QUOTE=Harborwolf] Well it was equally out of place for Obama to reply “shut up ho,” then pimp slap her.

[/QUOTE] I honestly thought you were joking, not trolling. My apologies. Something like what I was going to post before I thought I was being whooshed: If it’s so blatant, why didn’t anybody else see that? Not even the crazy-ass OP saw “you don’t want a black man in your home at 3 AM, do you?”. ---

“Liberal couldn’t figure it out” generally isn’t a worthwhile argument, IMO. I can’t answer for anything else, but the allusion seemed blatant to me, and a number of people seem to agree with me. ---
