Falafel O'reilly on how Obama can knock Clinton out of the race
I was browsing the channels and regretfully I watched O'reilly for about 5 minutes to see the crap he was spewing.

He said one thing that he was sure could really hurt Hillary's candidacy is if Obama asked during the debate on Thursday: "What did your husband mean by his Jesse Jackson comment?". He could backhandedly accuse her husband of racism. Falafel thinks that could knock the sails out of Hillary's campaign and give Obama a huge edge on Super Tuesday. Falafel doesn't think Obama would do it, though.

1. Obama has already taken the high road on that
Bill has no idea how to do such a thing.

2. The fact that Jesse himself already said he wasn't offended by it at all
pretty much makes that point moot.

Moral of this story: O'Reilly is an idiot and should not be listened to, regardless og how much you may think his opinion sounds good at first.

11. "Personally, I am gravely offended by comparisons to myself, since I am a horrible figure,
and likening anyone to me is trying to make them as marginal and irrelevant as I am."

3. The entire MSM is eager to help him do that. Anyone wonders why?

4. That would actually be a horrible move.
A moderator asking about it, though, would be effective.

7. I hope Obama is smart enough to ignore that advice---they
just want to stir up trouble with that. It is a win for the
GOP and they know it.

9. They need to get in and get out, unscathed
I would put my best foot forward because a lot of people will be tuning in who have no clue what's been going on for the last year. I think it will be a informative and issue oriented debate.

10. wow, bill o'reailly talking out of his ass
Who ever would have imagined it?

If Obama did that, he would damage himself as much as HRC, since he would play into the attempts to paint him as an "angry black man" playing racial politics. He isn't.

12. I'll keep repeating this until more folks get it.
Obama is being used to clobber HC. Many African Americans have been baited into believing that the Clintons are playing the "race card" while all the time it is just the media's distortions and striking sensitivities among African Americans that need not be there.

Once they have sufficiently smeared the Clintons and divided the Dem voters, needlessly enraged African Americans, they will come after Obama and it will not be pretty.
