A series of comments from Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, her husband and her supporters are spurring a racial backlash and adding a divisive edge to the presidential primary as the candidates head south to heavily African-American South Carolina.
The comments, which ranged from the New York senator appearing to diminish the role of Martin Luther King Jr. in the civil rights movement — an aide later said she misspoke — to Bill Clinton dismissing Sen. Barack Obama’s image in the media as a “fairy tale” — generated outrage on black radio, black blogs and cable television. And now they’ve drawn the attention of prominent African-American politicians.

Hi Louis,
You've copied a previous post exactly that you made in "The Swamp" Blog
http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/...
I politely ask you to
1) Comment on topic, the Politico story is about Clinton vs. Obama, not Ron Paul.
2) Write something a bit more original that a cut and paste from a Tribune blog post.
If you keep up the repeats, I will recommend you for a job in the Chicago media and remove your postings here.

When you're filling your car with $3 gas and buying some $2.65 a dozen eggs, remember who is running on stopping deficit spending. The war for oil is what caused prices for anything that eats grain to skyrocket. When THOSE prices rise, the fresh fruit seller raises his prices again, now you have some nice $5 a pound grapes in the market. It's YOUR money being spent. YOU'RE the one going to pay $250 a week for groceries. Still think Ron Paul sounds like a bad idea? He's the ONLY candidate, Republican or Democrat that is running on reducing your cost of living. He's the only one that's WRITTEN books on economics, not just read them. Austrian economics are favorably mentioned in this month's Scientific American. Maybe you have plenty money. Me, I just can't afford to be boss of the world - and I'm thrilled to know that I'm actually getting to choose something other than business as usual.
