MLK DAY SPECIALS: Remembering That Time Hillary Clinton Was Black

by Jim Newell  

Back in early 2007, the clowns running the nascent Hillary Clinton For President campaign thought it would be a good idea to stop in famous Selma, Alabama to deliver a sermon at a black church and show off Hillary Clinton’s own Negro Dialect. It was hilarious. That’s all. [YouTube]

That was cringe-worthy must-see teevee. Thanks for the memories!

I was born a poor black child …

Well, she does know a thing or two about how a plantation is run…

ladymacbeth January 18, 2010 at 3:40 pm

ahhh the beginning of the pantsuit era.

She was just using her Negro Dialect – all the successful politicians have one.

rocktonsammy January 18, 2010 at 3:46 pm

Harvey Milk has a days already?

Damn geyz.

dijetlo January 18, 2010 at 3:46 pm

She quoted Galatians!
An’ her tongue didn’t catch fire!
This gotta be some kind of voodoo trickery…is she still a Democrat?

CrunchyKnee January 18, 2010 at 3:47 pm

I miss those heady days…pre-PUMA rage and before our collective Internets psyche was squashed by the mssive SkoalRebel machine…ahhhhh, memories.

[re=496394]Way Cool Larry[/re]: No kidding.
At least she didn’t swing her neck around and end with two snaps in a figure eight.

Yay! recycling my 2008 comments!

Snarkalicious January 18, 2010 at 3:47 pm

Biotch. That is all.

Todd Mecklem January 18, 2010 at 3:48 pm

She don’t know nothin’ bout birthin’ babies, either.

And who cares what St. Paul told her? If he was such a good friend, he wouldn’t have hosted the Republican convention.

CrunchyKnee January 18, 2010 at 3:49 pm

[re=496404]germansteel[/re]: And they know WHEN to use it. That is all, also too.

proudgrampa January 18, 2010 at 3:49 pm

Her Negro dialect was fine, but I thought it was Blagojevich who was blacker…

marciax3 January 18, 2010 at 3:51 pm

Forget y’all! I’m from the Rock and she did my eighth grade commencement speech. She was cool peoples. Glad her ass lost, but still.

*faceplant*

Is that loud background noise when Hill starts quoting Cleveland the sound of the congregants rummaging around for obects to throw at her? But, the guy standing behind her starts smiling and standing and clapping. So evidently my white liberal guilt cringe is not felt by at least some of the actual black people in the church. I am so confused. I do not know who to identify with. Advice plz.

JMP January 18, 2010 at 3:55 pm

Those heady days, when we were heading to an inevitable Clinton/Giuliani general election matchup; before Hillary started going after the bitters’ votes and her high-profile supporters started slinging racist shit against Obama. Good times.

RoscoePColtraine January 18, 2010 at 4:03 pm

Verbiage can be learned, but is only half the equation. Inflection is a gift from god. Sorry, Hils. You ain’t got the gift.

Suds McKenzie January 18, 2010 at 4:14 pm

Needs more hair extensions.

Same shit, different politico. This kind of pandering is eternal, here’s Al Gore hard at it waaaay back before the goatee even:

Remember also that many southern states celebrate today variously as “Rebellion Memorial Day” or “God Damn America (of the 1860s) Day”.

[re=496464]plowman[/re]: Ha! Yeah I hear ya, always funny when a guy from Tennessee “tawlks lahk” … uh … a guy from Tennessee?

lawchic January 18, 2010 at 5:36 pm

[re=496400]Jim89048[/re]: Yeah, this. It was after this comment that I knew that I would never vote for her for President. I mean most Democratic politicians do shameless pandering in predominantly Black churches during election time, but you have to draw the line somewhere.

plowman January 18, 2010 at 5:50 pm

[re=496482]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: Yeah, I hear you too, he sounds just like a good ol’ Tennessee boy raised at the Fairfax Hotel in D.C. and educated at St. Albans & Harvard… Oh, that’s right, he chopped some brush back in Tennessee while on vacation, a lot like W. down in Crawford.

Lascauxcaveman January 19, 2010 at 1:56 am

[re=496500]plowman[/re]: I spent tay-un days in DC, oh, ’round 2001 ah buhleev. I was tawlkin’ like a Suth-nuh when ah lay-uft.

Same thing happened when I spent 6 months in Australia, but hey; that was six months. I got tired of Aussies asking what part of Canada I was from. (I’m from Seattle.)

Some people just pick it up.
