What's the implication of your headline--that there's something inappropriate about a black congresswoman who supports Sen. Clinton refererring to Martin Luther King? Are you suggesting that only supporters of Sen. Obama can properly invoke Martin Luther King? I'll tell you this much: Sen. Clinton has much more in common with Dr. King than Sen. Obama has with President Kennedy. Your faux alarmist headline is stupid.

An Ohio resident responding to Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones:

I read your introduction of Bill Clinton today and I must say, your statement that hope started in 1992 with Bill Clinton is the most asinine statement I've heard anyone make. We all have our opinions on and right to support/endorse any candidate, but is it necessary for you to take a swipe at other candidates instead of promoting your own? Did you even consider that just maybe you were belittling millions of innocent men, women and children of all racial injustices who "hoped" for something better long before Clinton and Obama? I'm sure the innocent people in Rwanda that were slaughtered in the 90's hoped America would intervene. I'm sure the survivors of that travesty hoped that Bill Clinton would have explained why his interest in 19 year old interns was unmatched during the affliction their country suffered.

I'll bet you that right now, young girls and boys throughout your district that look up to you, HOPE that you can see through this charade the Clintons have injected you into. You don't find it peculiar that you're on a long list of black representatives that have endorsed the Clintons today? Could it be a political tactic to offset the white endorsements that Obama is receiving? Or even more sinister, could it be they’re (The Clintons) trying to make up for attempting to marginalize Obama’s South Carolina win?

I hope for the sake of your constitutes that, you’re not that ignorant. But I fear for America that you are!

"We have worked with Hillary Clinton for 15 years (and in Kathleen's case, 25 years) and witnessed the power and depth of her convictions firsthand. We've seen her formidable work ethic, courage in the face of adversity and her dignity and clear head in crisis. We've also seen her two-fisted willingness to enter the brawl when America's principles are challenged. Her measured rhetoric, political savvy and pragmatism shield the heart of our nation's most determined and most democratic warrior."....

Please, please MSNBC people or anyone else. Explain your obvious hatred of Hillary Clinton. You won't show results of our vote in FL. (basically saying a million of us don't matter at all to you) all of you put O'bama on a pedistal and smear her at every opportunity. It's in black and white (here on first read for a week, I can find maybe 1 completely positive Hillary post compared to hundreds for O'bama) and on video. You even conflict each other. It's getting sickening. I used love MSNBC as you seemed a place we could go to see both sides of things fairly represented. Why are you shoving this man down our throat. So far, all I hear from him are lofty words and no substance. All of us out here that don't have your cushy jobs and secure lifestyles need to know the SUBSTANCE of what BOTH candidates plan to do. O'bama won't talk about the details, you won't ask him about the details and we're going to be the victims if you get him elected with all your praise and nothing gets accomplished because he's looking like just another puppet.
I like the pretty talk, just like everybody else, but that doesn't mean the man can do the job and get things accomplished. You're playing with our lives, MSNBC. Do you even think about that? You have power that should be used carefully and such one-sided reporting can do a great deal of harm. Us regular folk go to bed at night worried about how we will pay for checkups our kids need that we can't afford, or whether to pay our house payment or put food on the table for the month. I've been on the fence, but the only candidate that has shown any kind of substance and true in-depth knowledge of their own plans is Hillary Clinton. If he has substance under the pretty words, please talk about that, ask him detail questions about that. That's what we need from you. I'm almost begging. I have a feeling if the obvious bias continues you will be losing me and a lot of other viewers.

As I write this Hillary is on the TV celebrating her "win" in Flordia. Florida was uncontested. She won a race with no opposition. She is a terrible and self centered person with an ego that is only rivaled by her husbands. She cares only about herself and no one else. Her and husband just need to go away.

There is nothing that I can fathom in MLK Jr.'s 39 years that suggests to me that he would have approved of the use of the southern strategy. This is particularly so for those who would be expected to know better.

I would suggest that he would have been appalled by their crass self-absorption. Their behaviour has been detestable. Besides, Sen. Clinton, given her own description of what the president should do, is, at best, a manager NOT a leader.

Is it now off limits for anyone in the Clinton camp to make any mention of that great person that was assasinated in Memphis? Would the same hold true for another camp to try to associate itself with that other great person that was assasinated in Dallas?

There is no franchise.....

Both individuals were men....and flawed men at that...but were men that stood up for the things they held dear and we should all take pride and inspiration from both. Who would they endorse in this election? I have no idea but I'd bet it would be the person that best would help them achieve their personal end.

The one thing wrong with this race (and politics in general) is all the comments that are thrown around.

Why are these politicians so worried about the other candidates, all it proves is that they are intimidated and scared. They need to understand that people are more responsive to an honest campaign that focuses on the issues. I thought Hillary was running that kind of camp until as of late.

For all the Hillary shriekers, I think you're facing the fact that Obama "sells papers." Obama is getting three times the searchers on major web searches. Don't think they don't pay attention to what the people want to see. Like it or no, but that's the for-profit system. It also doesn't hurt that the Clintons never miss a chance to kick a reporter. Obama listens to their question and answers them directly. He's given them some real juicy quotes because he speaks his mind. Whether he eschews scripted and focus-grouped sound bites is inexperience or authenticity is a judgement call. The fact is he treats them with a bit of respect, something they don't get from the Clintons.

SEN. OBAMA FALSELY CLAIMED HILLARY SAID NAFTA WAS A 'BOON' TO THE ECONOMY LAST YEAR. At the last debate, Sen. Obama said "And it is absolutely true that NAFTA was a mistake. I know that Hillary on occasion has said -- just last year said this was a boon to the economy." Sen. Obama and his campaign have made the claim repeatedly, even though it is well established that she never said it. [Fact Hub]

THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN FALSELY CLAIMED HILLARY HAD A 20 YEAR PLAN TO BECOME PRESIDENT. This is a widely discredited claim from an anti-Hillary book. [TPM Election Central]
SEN. OBAMA FALSELY CLAIMED THAT HE DOESN'T TAKE MONEY FROM SPECIAL INTERESTS. Obama told the Culinary Workers, "The time has come to tell all the fat cats and the special interests in Washington that their money and their influence don't speak louder than our collective voices. They don't own our government. We do, and we're here to take it back. Those special interests they didn't fund my campaign they will not run my White House and they will not drown out the voices of the American people, working people when I'm President of the United States of America." In fact, Sen. Obama has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from insurance industry, the banking industry, and others. [CNN, 1/12/08; opensecrets.com]
OBAMA FALSELY CLAIMED THAT HILLARY SAID 'TOUGH AND DIRECT DIPLOMACY' WAS 'NAÏVE AND IRRESPONSIBLE.' Actually, Hillary said that she would not pre-commit to personal meetings with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea in the first year of her presidency. She also explicitly promised "a very vigorous diplomatic effort" with all nations, including Iraq. [Union Leader, 10/11/07; CNN/YouTube Debate, 7/23/07]
OBAMA CLAIMS 'NO ONE HAD AN INKLING' THAT REZKO HAD LEGAL AND ETHICAL TROUBLES DURING THE COURSE OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP. Actually, prior to his controversial land deals, prior to land deal, news reports clearly indicated Rezko's troubles, including involvement in kickback scheme. [Fact Hub]
SEN. OBAMA FALSELY CLAIMED THAT HILLARY AND BILL CLINTON SAID HE 'WASN'T OPPOSED TO THE WAR FROM THE START.' Neither Hillary or Bill Clinton has ever said that. They have noted his quotes and record after his speech opposing the war in 2002. [Fact Hub]
SEN. OBAMA CLAIMS HE HAS A 'UNIVERSAL' HEALTH CARE PLAN. Top health care experts agree that his plan leaves 15 million people out. [Fact Hub]
SEN. OBAMA DENIED THAT THE CO-CHAIR OF HIS NEW HAMPSHIRE CAMPAIGN WAS A PHARMACEUTICAL LOBBYIST. His New Hampshire co-chair, Jim Demers, was a pharmaceutical lobbyist. [The Page]
SEN. OBAMA FALSELY CLAIMED THAT HILLARY COULD ORDER THE RELEASE OF ALL HER WHITE HOUSE RECORDS. The process is actually controlled by the National Archives. [Fact Hub]
SEN. OBAMA FALSELY CLAIMED HE HAD NEVER DONE ANY FAVORS FOR REZKO. As a state senator, Barack Obama wrote letters to city and state officials supporting his political patron Tony Rezko's successful bid to get more than $14 million from taxpayers to build apartments for senior citizens.

When George Bush ran for his first term, did the rest of my Dem friends blast him for being a "suspected coke-head" or "stumbling drunk"?? Did we not cry out that such bad personal judgement in the past clouds the future? Then... why the hell is no one painting Senator Obama the way that he painted himself... he was an admitted drug user and well on his way to becoming a junkie... I guess that was just another "bone-headed mistake" that the jr senator made. I certainly pray that america does not allow another petulant child into the whitehouse as eight years has been enough.

Obama Supporters:
We are above these tactics. We must not distort to the dirty tactics and political bashing!

Remember...this is NOT what we do and what we should be doing. We also reflect the CANDIDATE, if anything we should state the facts on issues and explain why we support our candidate. I believe the evidence is overwhelming why we support him and the facts are overwhelming why we have chosen this path of support; not to stray to another camp. Many think that all Obama does is give speeches, well the real supporters know what is really going on.

For all those who left the Obama camp, that's okay, we appreciated your support and hope you realize everyone is passionate on various issues, but the Obama supporters should refrain from this type of behavior. It's okay to be against something, but I believe more importantly, you should be FOR something worthwhile having and achieving.

We should be busy getting out the vote for Obama. The way I see it...the enemy will always come in and try to get you off of the real issues...DON'T LET THEM!

On to Super Tuesday, where the delegates will be separated, hopefully more for Obama and on to more campaigning. No more GUTTER political madness, IT'S NOT WORTH IT!

I knew Bobby Kennedy, and Obama is no Bobby, I resent ted kennedy for comparing the two. You'll notice Bobby's familly supports Hillary. Its like saying someone's the "next Jordon" it's all hype. Bobby had fought in the trenches against organized crime, civil rights, cuban missle crisis he was in the background of all the history being made at that time. He had serious expierience to go along with vision and carrisma. Obama oppossed the war, did he protest and march against it? Did you? We did, people did'nt wait like lemmings for someone to lead, we put our butts on the line, some where beat, some jailed, and some were killed,but we knew our friends family and americans were dying every day, and the grownups were'nt doing anything to stop it. I look at this generation, that did'nt protest the war or what was happening in washington and say if you want respect-earn it, do something more than sit at your commputers and demand something you have yet to earn. You, not Hillary are the ME,ME,ME generation, Do some research, when she was your age she was working for civil rights, working in Washington on the Watergate trial. Raise your sights for crying out loud, I want your generation to stand for something besides "give me" Obama and his supporters, its"Persperation and inspiration", show me that and I will follow you anywhere
