5. You conveniently ommit that Hil slammed WHITE Eisenhower did nothing for civil rights
Edited on Wed Jan-23-08 11:57 PM by AwesomeFreak
Eisenhower wasn't exactly Latino or black. He was white.
But Hillary bashing a white president would not fit the narrative.

She said it in the same paragraph where she noted Johnson's passing the civil rights act.

I would point to the fact that that Dr. King's dream began to be realized when President Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, when he was able to get through Congress something that President Kennedy was hopeful to do, the President before had not even tried, but it took a president to get it done. That dream became a reality, the power of that dream became a real in people's lives because we had a president who said we are going to do it, and actually got it accomplished."


Some, and you know who I mean by some, have taken selective parts of her words to invent a nonexistent racial divide.
