Obama’s long history of race baiting and race obsessed behavior has long been an open secret among those who have paid attention.
Now Tucker Carlson has admitted the Obama campaign tried to get reporters to push the false story that the Clintons were racist.
The Carlson admission finally confirms that Obama’s campaign was as divisive, vituperative, heartless, scheming, unethical, malevolent, destructive, and manipulative as many Americans have long believed.
The evidence has long been there – Jesse Jackson Jr.’s Kanye-like implication that Hillary did not care about Katrina victims, the campaign’s infamous South Carolina race memo, rumors of how the Obama camp threatened black superdelegates, and the odious “Hillary wants Obama assassinated” story they tried to sell.
But Carlson becomes the first corporate media journalist to actually say, yes, the Obama campaign tried to use me to sell the Hillary-is-racist crap.

Carlson, taking offense that Obamacrats are now trying to take the racial high road after their racist witch-hunt last year, called the Obama campaign out on Great van Susteren’s show:
Tucker Carlson: "But let me just say, very clearly, it was the Obama campaign that first bought up the race question.
"It was the Obama people who smeared the Clintons as racists – Bill and Hillary Clinton. They made the case to reporters off-the-record, including me, that the Clintons were racists. They started this.
"So for him to get up with a straight face and say the media is bringing this race issue up… No, it was your campaign that started this."
Greta Van Susteren: "How did they bring it up?"
Tucker Carlson: "By this whisper campaign. That Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton were somehow opposing Barack Obama because they did not like the fact he was black.
"And that various statements they made, remember Hillary Clinton famously said that of course it was Lyndon Johnson who signed the Civil Rights Act, you know. Martin Luther King might have advocated for it but it was the president who signed it.
Somehow that became a racist statement according to allies of Barack Obama."He didn’t tell them to be quiet then. He allowed that to happen. Allowed, I think, the slur against the Clintons to fester. That they were somehow animated by bigotry was outrageous. And he did nothing to clear the air.
"So, I don’t know… I don’t want to be lectured by him, at this stage, as a member of the media, in a sanctimonious way. That somehow we’re perpetuating unhealthy race talk."
Carlson is brave for finally telling it like it is, beyond any doubt, that the corporate media has long known Obama to be a race-baiter from day one.
Will any other reporter be honest enough to second what Tucker Carlson revealed?

Chris Matthews kept asking if Bill Clinton called Obama an affirmative action candidate after Clinton downplayed the Obama South Carolina primary win by noting that Jesse Jackson won the state twice in his presidential campaigns.
I hoped Obama would set the record straight but instead he sat on his thumbs and allowed his minions to trash the Clintons. He was going to win anyway so hwe should have taken the high road but he was dishonest at every turn. He repeatedly misrepresented McCain's health care proposal, claiming he intended to tax healthcare benefits without mentioning that he'd give each family $5,000 to pay toward health insurance. When asked about his minister his first impulse was to lie claiming he wasn't there that day. He said his Grandmother's fear of black men loitering on the street was unfounded and due to misguided white prejudice when it was in response to a specific incident. In fact Jesse Jackson declared he was more fearful of blacks on the street than whites
Tell it DK!!! Keep bringing the Truth to Power, Great Article once again.
"...On May 16, 2009 Carlson was introduced as a member of the 'Fox Family' while appearing on the Fox & Friends Weekend edition with no mention what he would be doing for the network..."
And now D.K. Jamaal has joined the "Fair & Balanced" of Foxnews...is this your resume for foxnews D.K.?
Knew this was the case when Barack got away with calling his grandma a typical white person(if hillary and bill had said someone was a typical black person boy oh boy) while any comment bill and hillary made was made into a racial tone. Come on Bill and Hillary of all people. President Obama'a 2 minister friends basically got to mock Hillary for beign white and nothing was done.
"I'm White and I'm a Racist"! That's a paraphrase of the opening remarks made at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.These days just being White has made us feel guilty and that our Race is something to be ashamed of. White kids are beaten up on school buses by Blacks, but that's not racism, its only "kids acting up". White firefighters are passed over in favor of Blacks because of the color of their skin, but that not racism, it's "Affirmative Action". Blacks riot and burn down cities, but that's not Racism, it's "Rage Against Injustice". I could go on, and on, and on, about the Double Standard over Race in this country but I won't. The Blacks, who seem to have a thriving inborn talent at failure unless the White Race helps them along, used Racism as a club, just as savages use clubs in Africa, against the White race long enough. I'm White and I'm a Racist. I'm White and I'm proud to be White. Keep up the "Good Work" Obama. You're a credit to your Race. Another Black failure blaming Whites.
Great Story I knew Obama is guilty and here's hoping more reporters tell the truth. I am offended as an African American when anyone uses racism or cries racism when there is none. Real Racism exists in this world and false claims do nothing to solve that problem. Obama needs to admit this but he won't and he has all his racist Obots to back him up.
Man... Hillary has got to be fuming from wherever Obama sent her today. She no longer has the pulpit and is the victim of the same kind of smears she dished out when Bubba was Prez. Although slinging the wild charge of 'racism' is certainly wrong, it is tough to feel too badly for the Clintons.
Actions speaks louder than words. You hide behind the race card theory to say what ever you won't. This race card talk is played out. Who is this Tucker Carlson anyway? Where is your evidence?
to find out Carlson's credibility go to youtube and search for "jon stewart on crossfire"...Carlson is now working for foxnews...if this story had any basis in truth, do you really think foxnews wouldn't be running it 24/7?
It reminds me of The Fraud ’sticking a knife’ to Hillary and twisting it
Keep calling us racist. Keep calling us bitter and clingy and whatever the else you want. We will remember and we will work even harder to see them all thrown out of office.
TUCKER CARLSON IS MY HOMEBOY.?
Tucker hits the nail on the head when he said the Obama campaign fanned the racist claims.
Obama likes? to use racism to distract people from seeing his stupidity and failures.
clearly it is a vast racist? conspiracy against Obama's administration.
Obama is worthless,lier,hypocrite. I am not racist at all, skin color has nothing to do with it at all.
Thank you so much for continuing to give attention to this matter. Would that Tucker Carlson and the rest of the media had dared to tell the truth of this 18 months ago when it might have still made a difference.
I will say, however, that Tucker Carlson (no friend to Hillary) did have Prof. Sean Wilentz on his program back then, who wrote the article "Race Man" -- detailing how Obama played the race card and blamed the Clintons. Carlson agreed with his conclusions then -but the report died -- never grew any legs. That was that.
To be honest I can't understand how this inexperienced nobody Obama beat an experienced woman like Hillary Clinton. I'm not a fan of Hillary, I supported McCain/Palin, but I do recognize that Hillary Clinton would make a damn good president. We could live with Hillary. I think she has earned the right to be president and somehow her shot at the presiency was stolen from her. Hillary may have some left-wing opinions but I have no doubt but that she does have the best interests of the American people at heart. I fear Obama because I think he is a radical extremeist and disloyal to our country. The leaders of all the Arab terrorist nations love him. The hard-core communist-left in America love him. Terrorists living here in America have no respect for him and don't fear him as we have seen in the last few days where three terrorists were caught trying to set off car bombs. Forget race, this man has no chacter. Terrorists fear and respect Hillary and that's what we need right now.
Oh, please. Tucker is a day late and a bowtie short. A bitter has-been with a grudge. Didn't he recently try to criticize Jon Stewart for attacking Jim Cramer- saying he only did so when the Obama camp said something? Turns out Jon did a piece on it over a year ago. Get this little man his slippers, a boilermaker and an easy chair. His day is done.
Concerned, maybe the public has to be reminded over and over again about how totally corrupt Obama and his administration really is. Obama claims that Hillary Clinton is a racist? Why, because she ran against him? Please give me a break. Obama, That little wessil used the race card all through the election.
