The Hill welcomes comment from anyone and will almost always post it whether it is favorable or critical, as long as it is substantive and advances debate.

If Hillary goes racially negative it will hurt her standing with minorities now and in the future. African-Americans will pull away from the Clintons and other minorities will feel the same could be done to them in future elections. Hillary should leave anything negative regarding race in her play book.
The American people want change and negative, dirty political tactics do not reflect change.

I don't beleve that Clinton has played a race card. And Armstrong Williams lost his credibility when he accepted $240,000 of taxpayer dollars from George W Bush to hype No Child Left Behind. You're a prostitute

Come on…Obama is BI-racial mister, NOT black only. And guess what. If you catch up to what genetic research is revealing, we ALL are, historically, multi-racial. So cut out the balogna…the word race is obsolete. He is AMERICAN, just like you and me!!!!

This guy is simply all wet. He is trying to start a race issue.
I very carefully scrutinize and analyze every bit of news I observe.
Hillary and Bill Clinton have never given any indication that race has the slightest influence on anything they do, except that they almost "bend over backwards" in favor of non-white Americans.

On the contrary, it is you, Armstrong Williams, who has just played the race card!

Why would you publish anything from this whore- shame on you. Some of us remember journalistic integrity, even if you do not.

It will be interesting to see how a candidate of black and white parentage handles the issue of race, which will come up along the way.
Will he be torn between his European and African heritage or embrace both? Personally, I would not respect a person who denied any part of him or herself.

Armstrong "The Shill" is trying his hand at wedging. Did you get a lot of wedgies when you were a kid, Army? Who paid you for writing this tripe, Army?

Both Hilary and Roseanne Barr both play the race card. Indeed, Blacks are permitted in calling whites out on it just as much as whites will resort to calling blacks out on the race card when pushed in a corner. What's fair is fair.
Now Bob Johnson, who is perhaps the richest poverty pimp in the entire world, made his millions exploiting selling out his own black race and absolutely has no credibility whatsover. This is nothing more than a continuation of the same.

THANK YOU FOR CALLING THE CLINTON'S OUT.
It is WONDERFUL to know that YOU and Robert Novak, the other man I love to hate, were able to call it "like it was".
Hats Off!!
