I assume there is a video attached (am firewalled out of youtube these days)

If explaining doesn't spoil it, can someone clue me in?

It's a song she's quoting, by Rev James Cleveland. Who doesn't quote something or other in these rallies? Instead of WTF I want to say WTP (what's the problem?) :p

Chorus:
I don't feel no ways tired,
I've come too far from where I started from.
Nobody told me that the road would be easy,
I don't believe He brought me this far to leave me.

Vamp:
I don't believe He brought me this far
(repeat as desired)

I've been sick (I don't believe),
but God brought me (He brought me this far).
I've been in trouble (I don't believe),
but God brought me (He brought me this far).

I’ve been friendless (I don't believe),
but God brought me (He brought me this far).
I’ve been lonely (I don't believe),
but God brought me (He brought me this far).

Please don’t leave me (I don't believe),
don’t leave me Jesus (He brought me this far).
Don’t leave (I don't believe),
don’t leave me Lord (He brought me this far).

I don’t believe (I don't believe)
that God would bring me
(would bring me this far).

I don’t believe (I don't believe)
that God would bring me
(would bring me this far).

I don’t believe (I don't believe)
that God would bring me (would bring me this far just to leave me).

The problem is the very badly done Southern African-American accent. If a Republican did that she'd be crucified.



edit: Its Hillary Clinton
Shawnee123 • Mar 8, 2007 10:24 am
lol...point taken, Griff.

You're right, there would have been some crucifying going on. Was that video (from Faux News) the Fox way of crucifying Hillary for it? Out of context I can't tell if they were just airing the rally, or if they were pointing out exactly what you said, that no one else would get away with it (if the latter is the case then she did NOT get away with it.)

Faux News take something out of context? [southern]I'm shocked and appalled.[/accent]

I think the whole bit is on youtube and ya its taken out of context.

That's because repubicans despise minorities. ;)

Fox is such a hoot. One of the best amusement channels around, IMHO. My favorite thing on Fox ever was during the immediate aftermath of Katrina, when the studio anchors were extolling the speedy response of the Feds in New Orleans, then they cut to Geraldo Rivera and some other guy at the Super Dome. They were both *freaking* out, talking about the squalor and the dead people and the stench and on and on...

Meanwhile the guy in the studio keeps trying to steer them back to a more positive take on things, and they're just beside themselves, oblivious to the "hey, guys, get with the party line, here" subtext the anchor was trying to pull them into.

I wish I'd recorded it. Best thing ever, their own employees actually acting like *reporters* instead of mouthpieces for the Right.

IIRC, didn't Shepard Smith give Hannity a mild bitchslap of reality during their Katrina coverage as well?

Considering the wording and manner of what she was quoting I can't see how she could help doing it in the vernacular? And she came from Arkansas. :confused:

True, dat. Whew, good thing she isn't being crucified for it, since no person on the right would do such a thing. :rolleyes:
elSicomoro • Mar 8, 2007 12:45 pm
She's not a real Southerner...she's originally from Chicago. ;)

The Clintons have had Righteous Whitey cards from the black community for years now, hence this is probably a non-issue. When I'm with my black friends, I lapse into "black vernacular" at times...of course, I have a Righteous Whitey card too.
Shawnee123 • Mar 8, 2007 12:47 pm
Where can I get one of those cards?
elSicomoro • Mar 8, 2007 12:56 pm
It's kinda like the Freemasons...you have to get in good with a black person and gently nudge them for one. :D

Doesn't she actually come from Illinois or somewhere else? She pretends to be Southern when it's convenient, pretended to be a New Yorker to steal a senate seat, and pretends to care ...

Oh, shit. She's a Democrat. It's not like I could forget that.

Nevermind.
Happy Monkey • Mar 8, 2007 3:18 pm
She lived in Arkansas for 17 years, moving there shortly after completing her education.

What are you trying? :stickpoke :flamer:

Not that a repubican would ever do that.
the broader promises he used in 2000 to present himself as "a different kind of Republican" -- [COLOR="Red"]a promise of bipartisan cooperation and help for the poor and disadvantaged[/COLOR].

And of course, Alan Keyes thought he had a real chance to win that Senate seat in Illinois.

And last I heard, Wolf is still a registered Democrat. ;)
