Poll question: Poll: "I don't think it was IN ANY WAY a racial comment" (MLK comments) Agree?

Is Obama right?

1. I cannot possibly interpret that or virtually anything else said by the Clinton

camp as racist or even racial in tone. The only one I found questionable was the Cuomo comment.

2. They were not racist but they did kind of diminish MLK Jr's accomplishments

even if she didn't mean to do that she should have apologized for the misunderstanding. At least Bill did the right thing with the "fairy tail" comment. Hillary should do the same.

3. Racist? No. Politically clueless and insensitive, yes.

[Quixote1818]

4. Thats the way I see it too. Poor judgment on Hillary's part

then she turns around and says Obama is making this into a race issue when he has said nothing. That bugs me.

5. As I see it, the media is spinning this discussion to their own advantage.

They are the ones who reported it, questioned the motives of the candidates and are reaping the benefits of having a contentious issue to report on. Nobody wins on this issue but corporate media.

6. You have Nailed It, Ma'am!

9. Sorry, I must disagree.

I can't absolve the liberal blogosphere for their part in it.

7. I thought it was an argument for why Obama should have the power of the presidency.

After all, it will take a President to realize his vision. Why shouldn't he be that President?

11. Awesome! Thats exactly what crossed my mind. nt

8. Other: The comments were opportunistic.

oops, I forgot: and not racist. But also not especially wise.

10. Obama never said they made racist comments...

Therefore Clintonites cannot accuse him of race baiting. The Clintons did that themselves. However, it's my feeling that the comments had a racist undertone. Not sure if it was intentional, but it sure seems that way.
