The Hill: “Obama: ‘I bit my tongue’ against Clinton”
By SusanUnPC on June 26, 2008 at 1:40 PM in Barack Obama, Bill Clinton
Here’s the latest fall-out from last week’s heated meeting of the Congressional Black Caucus with Barack Obama, during which he said that Clinton’s female supporters need to “get over it” and support him. (See Pagan Power’s “Obama to Hillary Supporters: Get Over It!“)
Obama: ‘I bit my tongue’ against Clinton
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) said he bit his tongue “many times” during the fierce primary battle with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.).
Two sources said that Obama’s comments came after Rep. Diane Watson (D-Calif.), a Clinton backer, told the Illinois senator that the Democratic Party needs time to heal.
“I bit my tongue many times. Many times. I bit my tongue many times during this campaign,” Obama told his colleagues in the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) last week during a private meeting. He repeated the “I bit my tongue” phrase three times during the meeting, the sources said.
Never mind that the media gave Obama a pass for his sexist remarks and for playing the race card while incessantly scrutinizing everything that Bill and Hillary Clinton said.
Never mind that Obama’s enablers — including Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, James Clyburn, and Jesse Jackson, Jr. — ignored the sexist remarks against Hillary Clinton until after the primary season ended, but cried “foul” at every imagined (and mostly imaginary) racial slight.
Never mind that Obama’s thuggish supporters constantly harassed, intimidated and threatened pro-Hillary bloggers with impunity — and with the tacit approval of the Obama campaign.
Never mind that millions of Americans are deeply concerned by Obama’s longtime intimate associations with radical racists like Revs. Jeremiah Wright and James Meeks, Father Michael Pfleger, and unrepentant terrorist William Ayers — but that ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos is widely excorciated for questioning Obama about these relationships, for the first time, in a debate.
Never mind that, after his disastrous performance in that ABC debate, Barack Obama refused to debate Hillary Clinton again, but was given a pass by the media for chickening out on facing Clinton, a far more able and formidable debater.
Never mind that Howard Dean and the DNC gamed the primary so that Obama would be handed the nomination, no matter that Dean and Obama disenfranchised millions of Michigan and Florida voters, and manipulated the Rules and Bylaws Committee to give Obama four of Hillary’s delegates as well as more delegates who did not vote for Obama.
Never mind that … YOU ADD TO THE LIST.

Here’s what Bud White wrote in a pithy, angry post on June 1, 2008:
Why are we angry? Here’s 10 reasons:
1. Blatant sexism
2. Race-baiting as a political tool
3. Vote stealing. Literally taking away delegates from Hillary in Michigan (worse than FL in ’00)
4. The less qualified man getting preference over the more qualified woman.
5. Obama’s membership in a hate cult and his convenient break with Trinity
6. The media’s unrelenting bias against Hillary
7. Dr. Dean’s malpractice in managing this primary race (the 50 state joke)
8. The other candidate attacks Hillary’s health care plan from the Right
9. Smearing our most progressive president since LBJ
10. Suggesting that Hillary’s supporters are bitter, gun-owning “Archie Bunkers”
