Clinton, Obama clash over race issue
By BETH FOUHY, Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton suggested
Sunday that Barack Obama's campaign had injected racial
tension into the presidential contest, saying he had distorted
for political gain her comments about Martin Luther King's
role in the civil rights movement.
"This is an unfortunate story line the Obama campaign has
pushed very successfully," the former first lady said in a spirited
appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press." "I don't think this
campaign is about gender, and I sure hope it's not about race."
Clinton taped the show before appearances in South Carolina,
whose Jan. 26 primary will be the first to include a significant
representation of black voters. Blacks were 50 percent of primary
voters in the state in 2004 and the number is expected to swell
this time.
Both New York Sen. Clinton and her husband, the former presi-
dent, have engaged in damage control this week after black leaders
criticized their comments shortly before the New Hampshire
primary last Tuesday.
The senator was quoted as saying King's dream of racial equality
was realized only when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, while Bill Clinton said Illinois Sen.
Obama was telling a "fairy tale" about his opposition to the Iraq
war.
Former President Clinton has since appeared on several black
radio programs to say he was referring to Obama's record on
the Iraq war, not on his effort to become the nation's first black
president.
At an awards dinner Sunday in Atlanta celebrating black achieve-
ment, Michelle Obama said her husband is the person America
needs in the White House right now and was critical of anyone
who would "dismiss this moment as an illusion, a fairy tale." He
is the right candidate "not because of the color of his skin, but
because of the quality and consistency of his character," she said.
As evidence the Obama campaign had pushed the story, Clinton
advisers pointed to a memo written by an Obama staffer compiling
examples of comments by Clinton and her surrogates that could be
construed as racially insensitive. The memo later surfaced on a
handful of political Web sites.
Obama later called Clinton's accusations "ludicrous," and said he
found Clinton's comments about King to be ill-advised and unfor-
tunate.
"If Senator Clinton wants to be distracted by the sorts of political
point-scoring that was evident today then that is going to be her
prerogative," Obama said.
Another rival, John Edwards, added his voice to the chorus of cri-
ticism of Clinton's comments about King.
"I must say I was troubled recently to see a suggestion that real
change that came not through the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King
but through a Washington politician. I fundamentally disagree
with that," Edwards told more than 200 people gathered at a
predominantly black Baptist church in Sumter, S.C.
Later Sunday, the Clinton campaign scrambled to explain comments
by one of its top black supporters, BET founder Bob Johnson, that
seemed to raise the issue of Obama's admitted teenage drug use.
"I am frankly insulted 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 ― when
Barack Obama was doing something in the neighborhood; I won't
say what he was doing, but he said it in his book ― when they
have been involved," Johnson said at an event with Clinton in
Columbia, S.C.
In his memoir, "Dreams from My Father," Obama described using
marijuana and occasionally sampling cocaine as a youth. He declined
to respond directly to Johnson later when asked about it.
"I'm not going to spend all my time running down the other candi-
dates, which seems to be what Senator Clinton has been obsessed
with for the last month," Obama said between visits to people's
door steps in a Las Vegas neighborhood.
The Clinton campaign later released a statement in which Johnson
said his comments referred to Obama's years as a community orga-
nizer in Chicago.
During the televised interview, Hillary Clinton praised King as one
of the people she "admired most in the world," and suggested his
record of activism stood in stark contrast to Obama's.
"Dr. King didn't just give speeches. He marched, he organized, he
protested, he was gassed, he was beaten, he was jailed," she said,
noting King had campaigned for Johnson because he recognized
the need to elect a president who could enact civil rights into law.
While Clinton praised Obama's eloquence, she also stepped up her
contention that his record did not match his rhetoric.
She noted that while he had spoken out eloquently against the war
In 2002 before coming to the Senate, he voted repeatedly to fund the
war once in office.
"If you are part of American political history, you know that speeches
are essential to frame an issue, to inspire, and lift up," Clinton said.
"But when the cameras are gone and when the lights are out, what
happens next?"
Obama scoffed at her suggestion of an inconsistent record on the
war. Campaigning in Las Vegas, he said he voted for war funding
out of an obligation to support the troops, and noted other prominent
Democrats, Sens. Edward M. Kennedy and Barbara Boxer, who
voted the same way.
"Once we had our troops in, two years into a war, it was important
that we do the best job of it," Obama said before speaking at a Pente-
costal church. "They have decided to run a relentlessly negative
campaign. I don't think anyone who is paying attention can deny
that."
Clinton ended her day in South Carolina by speaking to more than
100 women at an invitation-only event at a Columbia bistro.
"We still have too many women who are not being treated fairly in
the work place," she said. "This is not a woman's issue. This is a
fairness and quality issue."
