BET Should Be Ashamed

First read has the story of BET founder Bob Johnson, who introduced Hillary Clinton at a town hall today at Columbia University, took a low blow at Barack Obama:

"As an African American, I am frankly insulted that the Obama campaign would imply that we are so stupid that we would think Hillary and Bill 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... When they have been involved, to say that these two people would denigrate the accomplishment of civil rights marchers, men and women who were hosed, beaten and bled, and some died... To say and to expect us now all of a sudden to say we are attacking a black man.

......

The Obama campaign later produced this statement from former South Carolina Rep. "I.S." Leevy Johnson:

“It’s offensive that Senator Clinton literally stood by and said nothing as another one of her campaign’s top supporters launched a personal, divisive attack on Barack Obama,” said Johnson. “For someone who decries the politics of personal destruction, she should’ve immediately denounced these attacks on the spot.”


The Clinton campaign then produced this comment from Johnson: “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.

His comments were referring to Obama's time has a community organizer!?? Give me a break. Is there anyone who believes that??? Let' look at it again:

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...

Of course he was referring to the drug use of Obama's. We are not idiots. "I won't say what he was doing."

Sure, because one not dare utter the words"community organizer!"

What is insulting is to try to make us believe anything but the obvious, which was a shot at Obama's drug use he wrote about in his book.
