Hey, GOP, testing to see how far you can with racial attacks? Here are some examples of racial sabotage from another campaign. Enjoy!
“Well, I think we've made clear that the issue related to cocaine use is not something that the campaign was in any way raising … I think that's been made clear.”

”It’s not a TV-crazed race. Frankly you can’t buyyour way into it,”  Cuomo said. “You can’t shuck and jive at a press conference,” he  added. “All those moves you can make with the press don’t work when you’re in someone’s living room.”

“If you have a social need, you're with Hillary,”the aide said. “If  you want Obama to be your imaginary hip black friend and you're young and you have no social needs, then he's cool.”

“And to me, as an African-American, I am franklyinsulted that the Obama campaign would imply that we are so stupid that we would think Hillary and Bill Clinton, who have been deeply and emotionally involved in black issues since Barack Obama was doing something in the  neighborhood –  and I won’t say what he was doing, but he said it in the book –  when they have been involved ...
. . .
That kind of campaign behavior does not resonatewith me, for a guy who says, ‘I want to be a reasonable, likable, Sidney Poitier ‘Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.’ And I’m thinking, I’m thinking to myself,  this ain’t a movie, Sidney. This is real life.”

“[Clinton and Obama] are getting votes, to be sure, because of their  race or gender. That's why people tell me Hillary doesn't have a  chance of winning here…”

In response to a question from CNN reporter JessicaYellin, Clinton  scolded her. “This is almost like once you accuse someone of racism  and bigotry, the facts become irrelevant. The first thing I'd like to say: You asked me about this. Not one single solitary citizen asked  about any of this, and they never do.…And you are determined to take this election awayfrom them. And  that's not right. This election ought to belong to those people who are out here asking questions about their lives...”

Bill Clinton, 23 Jan. 2008

After fielding several questions from a crowd ofabout 200 in  Kingstree, Bill Clinton called on a black man standing off to the side of the small stage. The man identified himself as a pastor and told Clinton that "black America is voting for Obama because he's black."
The man also said Democrats are in a “dangerousposition” because if  Obama wins the nomination, voters will put a Republican in the White  House.
“They're not ready to for a black president,” the man said.
Several black audience members nodded their heads.Several said in  unison, "That's right!"
Clinton responded, “First of all, as an American, I have to tell you I  hope you're not right.”

In response to this question: "what does it say about Barack Obama that it takes two of you to beat him?" Clinton says that “Jesse  Jackson won South Carolina twice, in ‘84 and ‘88, and he ran a good  campaign. And Sen. Obama’s run a good campaign here; he’s run a good campaign everywhere. He’s a good candidate with a good organization.”

Clinton campaign strategists denied any intentional effort to stir the racial debate. But they said they believe the fallout has had the effect of branding Obama as "the black candidate," a tag that could  hurt him outside the South.
