POLITICS: HILLARY NEVER WANTED TO BE VP / CHRIS ROCK RESPONDS TO CLINTON / THE TRUTH ABOUT IRAQ

Bill Clinton took a seat on the couch with the ladies of ABC’s The View on Monday for the first time. When asked whether his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, wanted to join Dem. presidential nominee Barack Obama on the Democratic ticket, the former president replied, “Not really, she didn’t.”

She said that if he asked, I’ll do it because it’s my duty. She loves being a senator for New York and has more freedom to develop her positions on the issues and her things,” he said. He added that while Sen. Joe Biden was a “good choice” to be Obama’s running mate, Sen. Clinton “would have been the best politically”.

Clinton said he’d be surprised if Obama didn’t win, but also spoke admirably of Republican presidential nominee John McCain.

CHRIS ROCK RESPONDS TO CLINTON

Following his appearance on The View, Bill Clinton visited The Late Show With David Letterman. Fellow guest, actor/comedian Chris Rock remarked, “Boy, is it me or he didn’t want to say the name Barack Obama?” Hilarity ensued.

THE TRUTH ABOUT IRAQ

Check out the video of U.S. Army Specialist Darrell Anderson exposing U.S. policy regarding Iraq.

Anderson describes the escalation of violence against unarmed civilians: “In April, they told us, ‘In a crowded area, if one person shoots at you, kill everybody’.” Anderson explains the rationale from the officers: “They [members of the crowd of people] are letting them [the person or persons firing at the U.S. military] attack you. They’re no longer innocent if they’re there at the time of the crime…”

    I WISH PEOPLE STOP SAYING IRAQ ATTACKED ON 9/11….THAT’S NOT THE CASE PEOPLE!!!

  9. *Sigh*

    Watching this interview, made me love Bill even more! This man is accomplishing so much, globally! I guess this why he was elected for 2 terms! Cannot wait til 2012, when we can have another Clinton in the White House! ;)

  10. T.Lynn

    Chris Rock is a fool and I knew Hillary didn’t want to be a VP, it was either Pres or nothing!

  11. Dame( No one on the corner has swagger like Dame)

    I loooooooove Chris Rock he is the best to me.

    LOL at Bill and the Mike Vick comment was true David face was red as hell

  12. *Sigh*

    Someone sent me an email, earlier today, saying that Biden was gonna excuse himself from the VP position due to health problems, and that Hillary is suppose to be taking his place. I think it’s rumor, though.

    Subject: Dem VP Change

    This is the first I have seen of this but apparently it has been circulating a lot. Don’t know how true it might be.

    On or about October 5th, Biden will excuse himself from the ticket, citing health problems, and he will be replaced by Hillary. This is timed to occur
    after the VP debate on 10/2.

    There have been talks all weekend about how to proceed with this info. Generally, the feeling is that we should all go ahead and get it out there
    to as many blog sites and personal email lists as is possible. I have already seen a few short blurbs about this – the ‘health problem’ cited in
    those articles was aneurysm. Probably many of you have heard the same rumblings.

    However, at this point, with this inside info from the DNC, it looks like this Obama strategy will be a go. Therefore, it seems that the best
    strategy is to get out in front of this Obama maneuver, spell it out in detail, and thereby expose it for the grand manipulation that it is.

  13. Mimi

    I LOVE CHRIS ROCKS COMEDY STYLE! White folks love his style too… he even made them laugh about Mike Vick. I really, really wish that Mike Vick had not been sentenced to prison. I pray for Mike. PEACE!

  14. kahmmillion

    Wow- you can still see that Bill is upset about Hilary not winning. SMH-And to think black people were riding for him even when he was getting brains from Monica. Damn shame!

  15. dukesman2000

    I elect SIGH the new Propaganda Minister….

  16. Elise

    About Chris Rock: That was too funny! I love him!!!!

    About ‘The Truth About Iraq’: This is sickening to me. I couldn’t watch the whole video. This war isn’t doing anything but embeding the notion of hatred and destruction…the same thing that was embeded into the soul of Hitler. If people really research the history of Hitler, they would understand why his ideology was the way it was. I’m not condoning his actions, but this is what the war on Iraq is doing; its filling some child up with a great sense of hatred who will one day become deadly.

    Karma thrives.

  17. the_one

    WHAT THE HAILE IS CLINTON SAYING OMG, I AM SO TIRED OF HILARY AND WOOOO IS ME. SO PEOPLE SHOULD VOTE ON THEIR SEXIST RACIST VIEWS AND THAT SHOULD BE OKAY. THEY REALLY WANT HIM TO FAIL SO THEY CAN HAVE A SHOT IN 4 to 8 YEARS. I AM SO TIRED OF THIS ISH!!!!

  18. dukesman2000

    Hilary and Bill need to go away. They want Brack Obama to lose so she can re-run as a “I told you he was not electable” candidate. It is all strategic, so in the most subtle ways, they are going to try and discredit the Obama – Biden ticket.

  19. renee

    if people will hate the clintons anyway, if i were them i would go campaign for mccain.

  20. me

    considering her position i think they are doing the best they can. what the heck do you want her to do? obama needs to get a back bone and do his job

  21. c

    nobody is being sexist to Sarah Palin, that woman is off her rocker…Hilary and her are two entirely different people & if it was Hilary against Sarah, Hilary would wipe the floor with her lying, gun toting, woman hating ass

  22. i think

    Say that Chris! I knew after that comment a commercial break was coming, LOL

  23. me

    chris is funny. but bill wasn’t doing that. he was talking about her position as senator not as a candidate.

    like bill said you don’t have to hate or find something wrong with the opponent to justify voting for the other. people are just looking for any reason to blame the clintons when barack loses

    but i agree with his dog sentiment though. vick ain’t got no business in jail

  24. ja

    Wow CL
    Yall wrong for this foolishness. You wont post anything positive about McCain but you put this less than American up. This young Man join the Millitary for the wrong reason. Like I have said the Army dosen’t make you a man if you were a drug selling dumb a@@ when you got in then thats what your are going to do. EVERY Iraq Vet is not Homeless. I went twice and I’m own my home. Not Every soldier is against the war. For the record. There is no inital trainning in the Army that last for just 4 weeks. This young man ran to Canada, that’s were he should have stayed. I hate the fact that American ( and I use this term lightly) Get on the news and say ” Oh soldiers are kill everybody” Which is a lie. Frankly in parts of Iraq there are people who great us with gifts. They risk their lives just to shake our hand, but they dont show that.

    Now my real point. It clear that he really doesn’t have a clue. When he said 9/11 wasnt real. I was at fort hood, texas and I remember just how real it was. See I join before any attack because I enjoy the freedoms we have that are exclusive to Americans. It’s one thing to die in a instant in a attack but it’s quite another to know in the back of your mind that you may leave and never come home. To go in knowing this is a trip.

    You see I have encounter some of these Young Vets like this young man here. And he is going about it in the wrong way. The young ones 20 -25. They dont want the three year free ride in school they are offered even if they are kicked out of the Army, They dont want to got to classes to show them how to adapt to everyday like, they dont want the free health care given by the VA, They dont want to fill out paper work for job trainning or the housing program. They want money. Never mind the 20,000-40,0000- they have already recieved for just showing up. never mind not having paid taxes on the salary/ plus extra money given on top totaling up to 1000 a month.

    Cl this was a bad look and a Punch to every Soldier serving for the right reasons. I understand that this in enterainment for you all, but for some of us this is real life. And for those currently serving in Iraq like my husband, this is LIFE OR DEATH.

    Thank you VERY much

  25. Carlitos

    “Brittney” I agree. The ones to deceive you the quickest are the ones closest to you.

  26. Tigg

    Did no one watch the last video? Yea, love President Clinton…Chris Rock is funny, got that- but no comments on the last video.

    I used to say I feared no man, nothing, just God. But I fear the complacency that has grown and the self-deception we’ve all become so comfortable with. What is the cost of indifference? How will we be forced to pay?

  27. ZULU

    @ JA #22:

    So you’re wiping off civilizations to protect freedoms “exclusive to Americans.” What do you want, a cookie? Why do some brainwashed vets stay waxing nonsense. The fact is that you’re nothing but a completely replaceable serial number, and if you were any brighter, your utility to society would be higher. One man’s freedom fighter is another man’s freeloader.

  28. Mel B

    JA is absolutely right. I was in the miltary for 7 years. Some people make soldiers look bad. I’ve been stationed in Kansas, TX & Germany. There are good soldiers and then their are punk azz soldiers who make us look bad. The military helps a lot of people who don’t have their futures planned out. It was the best thing for me. When I got out I used the GI Bill & bettered myself. I hate when already dumb azz people join the military, complain ever day & then start talking smack. Talk about biting off the hand that feeds you and another thing, Terrorist don’t give a dam where they at, those lil kids don’t play. They’ll smoke your azz and play soccer a second later. I hate bad soldiers, they paint the wrong picuture of the military & obviously have mental issues, no wonder they be on the run.

  29. Qdoba

    *stepping on my soapbox and arranging my obama t-shirt just right*

    I wish people would stop tying the war in Iraq to 9/11! Most of the terrorists who attacked on 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia, but they are an ally, so they didn’t want to anger them. We, as in the USA, are such a dependent a** country for oil that we didnt go after the country that actually harbors more terrorists then most in saudia arabia, but we used the tragedy as an excuse to gain more oil by going into Iraq. Its funny how no one, especially Republicans, talk about the fact that we started this whole damn thing because there were supposed weapons of MASS destruction. The only weapon of mass destruction in Iraq is the US. It pains my heart to see our soldiers die everyday for a money hungry cause and a President who is dumb as bricks. If America elects John McCain as the next President, it shows that people would rather worry about the color of a man’s skin then the possibility of actually getting out of this sh*t hole Bush has put us in. If that happens American deserves everything it gets for being small minded and STILL very racist.

    *stepping off my soapbox and out to register more voters*

  30. ZULU

    And it’s ironic that you champion American “freedom” on one hand and then turn around and attack another person’s right to citizenship and free speech. But then again, you don’t come across as the sharpest tool in the shed.

  31. dukesman2000

    The guy has not told one lie in this video. And for you to call him “less than American,” is totally uncalled for. The typical republican who feels they should support Bush’s policies, no matter how wrong, fucked up and costly they have been to everyone in this country. The biggest cost we’ve endured is the lost of thousands of lives of these young men and women in combat in an unjust war. Just by the thought that anyone who disagrees with America or doesn’t support the government’s policies is unpatriotic, makes you more un-American or unpatriotic than anyone else. Isn’t that what America is about? Being able to stand up for what’s right even in the face of the most formidable adversaries? Patriotism is supporting your country always but supporting your government when it deserves it – Mark Twain

    I wish someone would call me unpatriotic or Un-American – I served in two branches of the US Armed forces. I have seen combat twice under two separate presidents – Kosovo under Clinton and Iraqi Freedom. So by your definition I should be fucking president, huh?

    You claimed you served in Iraq twice – where did you go to boot camp, where were you stationed and what was your MOS?

  32. Annette

    Chris is funny BUT always seems to me, He got the early stages of a mental disorder or mental disease.

  33. NA

    if you were running for a democratic presidential nomination and you worked sooo hard and then lost you’d be bitter too…

    they’re attempting to swallow their pride so don’t give them so much shit. they’re doing a decent job at that.
    you don’t know how they feel like. even if it’s fake, WHY DOES IT MATTER?

    i loooooove chris rock. he’s funny as hell, but it’s kinda like….. what’s the point of saying all that? i understand he’s a comedian….

    stop hatin on them when you don’t know how it feels to be in that position

    all people ever do is complain about hillary.

  34. Queen

    I can always count on Rock to make my day,lol….I can’t wait to see his special on HBO!

  35. sassydancer

    Chris Rocks is sooooooo funny i really like his openess and courage to say whatever we really want to say but wouldn’t! lmao!!!!

  36. thicky

    OMG-Chris had me rolling! I’m sorry I just don’t feel like being angry or depressed, or frustrated today, so I skipped the other 2 posts. Hope y’all have a nice one today, xoxo Thicky

  37. Ms. Lady

    This is #22 – this young man isnt wrong for what he is saying. This is all apart of the Bush Doctrine. If you dont know what the Bush Doctrine is then look it up. Sarah Palin didnt know either. But, the bottom line is we are trying to be “proactive” in dealing with terrorism. But, in doing so we are killing innocent lives all in the name of taking out terrorists before they take us out.

    This post is on point and thank you for posting it. As far as McCain, if you want UNBIASED news then listen a news station and NOT A BLOG.

  38. tanya

    hillary seem like she would get in the white house and try to take over. she don’t seem like she likes to listen. I would have rathered he pick her, but i understand why he didn’t. if the rumor is true, democrats would win by a landslide.

  39. Beau T. Full

    Chris Rock is the BEST!! Some of our funniest, smartest Black comedians have gone on to a better place, but Chris reminds us there is still some great, relevant talent on the scene!! Can’t wait for HBO special this weekend;-)

  40. SUPERDUPER50000000000

    DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN– chris rock is hilariousss– he had me rollin!!!!

  41. JUDAH

    @Ja

    The fact of the matter is that you are an adherent to a movement to kill and destroy hundreds of thousands of innocent people and you have the nerve to justify it.

  42. SUPERDUPER50000000000

    All three of the videos are very informative and give different perspectives I haven;t looked at!! thanks JUDAH & JDAKAR!

  43. KWILL33

    Everyone don’t forget Chris Rock has a special coming on HBO this weekend.That clip was hillarious

  44. dukesman2000

    You never see smoke with fire. What do you know Judas contributed these videos. That explains why whenever we are in one of our frequent exchanges, most times my comments are “moderated” while your filth always gets posted…you are hobnobbing J Dakar.

    What are you a freaking freelance contributor now, serpent? lol

  45. MAI03

    He isn’t the only vet saying this, other vets have spoken out aw well.

    Besides homeless or awol vets, there are countless vets in mental institutions from what they experienced over there in current & past wars.

  46. JUDAH

    @DaisyDukesman

    You want the brother’s number or something, lmao? Anyone can contribute a story. That’s if they have something to contribute.

  47. it's me

    I don’t think Bill sounded bitter. He was about as enthusiastic as possible. His wife didn’t win, so he’s not going to knock people down and say vote for Obama. The Clinton’s are doing there part by being supportive and telling people to stand for the democratic party. What more can we ask. By the way… I think Barack could have picked a better VP even it wasn’t Hillary. Biden is Boooooring!!! and is not adding any type of push to the campaign.

  48. pete

    if hussein obama thinks he can win without the overwhelming support of hillary clinton supporter then he must have gone to this lovely “cocaine“, say what you want to say about hillary clinton but she`s not an overnight sensation like hussein obama and she`s had 18 million votes to proove it and these folks have been with her for decades, supporting her all through the drama(monica lewinsky) these are folks have been her fans since forever, so i hope hussein can figure out a way to woo these voters, he has less than 6 weeks to do it….lol talk about mission impossible!

  49. JUDAH

    @Pete

    Uh oh brother, don’t mention that the god Obama does cocaine and crack (gasp).

  50. Bluejay

    I just pray that OBAMA wins.

  51. *Sigh*

    LMAO!

    @ 37 – What are you talking about?

    I watched Chris Rock’s video…and I think he needs to STFU. Just my 2 cents. :)

  52. You'll buy anything!

    Ja:

    There is NOTHING positive to say about McCain! Oh, damn! I forgot I swore that I would ignore you.

  53. dukesman2000

    Pete and Judas are busom buddies…the bitter honky and the Uncle Tom.

  54. Ready 4 REAL Change

    I knew Hillary didn’t want VP…she’s her own woman and she’ll be able to run again. I think that it might be a good thing that the clinton’s aren’t HUGELY supportive of Barack…so if he wins he wins on his own merit..nobody will be able to say the Clinton’s won the election for him. U have to give it to both Dems they both ran excellent campaigns in the primaries.

  55. DON'T BE FOOLED

    Look don’t let Bill fool you he could care less about Sara Palin.
    Why not compliment her in an interview in which the media and the entire world is listening to what he is saying??????

  56. JUDAH

    @Daisy

    Damn. You a simple, jealous nigga, lmao. Send in a story. The word is “b-o-s-o-m”. Daisy quick, name 3 things that Obama will do for your beloved America.

  57. DON'T BE FOOLED, AGAIN

    LET ME POINT OUT SOMETHING ELSE NOT ONE TIME HAS hILLARY SAID THESE THINGS ABOUT sARA pALIN AND NOT ONE TIME HAS EITHER ONE OF THEM SIAD SHE WAS QUALIFIED TO BE VP, OR PRESIDENT .
    EVEN OBAMA SAID SHE WAS VERY SKILLED.

    PLEASE KNOW THAT BILL AND HILLARY BREATHE POLITICS AS WELL AS THE OTHER OLD BOYS (ie KENNEDY ETC) THE OLD BOYS (REPUBS AS WELL AS DEMS ) LOVE THIS COUNTRY TO ME AND THEIR LEGACIES TO LET SARA PLAIN REPRESENT THIS COUNTRY SO WHY NOT BE NICE!!!!! CAUSE THE OLD BOYS IN WASHINGTON ARE UP TO SOMETHING TRUST ME AND BILL AND HILLARY KNOW A LOT MORE ABOUT SARA PALIN THAN WE DO!!!!

    LOOK AT OUT PAST VICE PRESIDENTS…YOU CAN BELIEVE THIS OR NOT BUT WE WILL NOT BE PAYING FOR HER THREE NANNYS….TOO MUCH BAGGAGE.

    ANOTHER ALL THESE POLLS YOUNG FOLK DON’T BE MOVED BY WHAT YOU SEE…OBAMA MADE A GOD CHOICE WHICH BILL IS RIGHT AND MCCAIN MADE A POLITICAL CHOICE DID NOT PUT COUNTRY AND DON’T YOU ALL KNOWS THAT GOD LOVES THIS COUNTYR AND THE PEOPLE IN IT MORE THAN ANYONE AND HE HAS HEARD EVERY LIE FROM THE MCCAIN CAMP, EVERY DECEPTION AND TRICK IN USING (PIMPING) SARA PALIN.

    ANOTHER THING THAT THOSE OF US SPIRITUALLY MINDED KNOW THAT SARA PALIN IS OUTSIDE OF THE WILL OF GOD FOR HER LIFE AT THIS TIME AND OBAMA IS SMACK DAB IN THE WILL GOD FOR HIS LIFE.

    WE ARE NTO AFRAID FOR GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US THE SPIRIT OF FEAR AND IT IS NOT OVER UNTIL GOD SAYS IT IS OVER.

    THEY MAY HAVE A STRATEGY THE SAME AS THE CLINTONS FROM DAY ONE BUT GOD HAS A PLAN…AND YOU BETTER BELIEVE THAT.

    OH AND KNOW THIS THEIR ARE PRAYER WARRIORS AND HAVE BEEN PRAYER WARRIORS INTERCEDING FOR OBAMA AND HIS FAMILY DAILY WE KNOW THIS IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE AND JEZEBEL, WITHCRAFT AND BIGOTRY ARE NAMES THAT ARE NOT ABOVE THE NAME OF JESUS AND MUST BOW!!!

  58. Mel B

    ** Dukesman2000 & every other person who got issues with Soldiers**
    By definition you served in Kosovo, well I served in Bosnia “Operation Joint Endeavor” and that wasn’t a war…. that was peace keeping. Get your facts straight & know the difference between WAR and peacekeeping… Peacekeeping is babysitting aka Keeping the Peace. That wasn’t considered war. I could care less about John Mc Cain but if you was a real soldier you’d know that John Mc Cain was a POW. He was seperated from his family for years. They broke that dude down & basically dismembered his body. If you’ve served in any kind of war situation then you know that we live in the greatest country alive. After being in 3rd world countries, I realize how great America is, we got running water, heat, homes & jobs. Our air
    doesn’t have the stench of dead bodies or feces. All soldiers are my brothers and sistahs but to make fun of Mc Cain proves that you aint or never were a soldier, maybe you was a wanksta soldier cuz I got heart for soldiers. I was an 88 Mike, Drove PLC’s, 9 15′s, Hets, 5 tons and all that ish. 88 Mikes bring supplies to the front lines and are on the streets, you can’t even eat without us so believe me, I’ve seen it all & having Freedom aint free without US Soldiers hooyah!
    I aint saying you don’t have heart but you sure don’t act like a soldier…. whose side are you really on????
