Video: Andrew Young disses Obama, extols the Clintons’ blackness

By Michelle Malkin  •  December 8, 2007 01:18 PM

(Cross-posting from Hot Air. Too good not to share with you over here!)

Thanks to Redding News Review for the story and Dan Riehl for this jaw-dropping video of former Atlanta mayor Andrew Young talking smack about Barack Obama and touting Bill Clinton’s, ahem, familiarity with black women. Young also pushes the Obama/madrassa rumor. Sometimes, as I noted yesterday in another context, your biggest fans are your worst enemies:

    Bill Clinton was the first “Black President” courtesy of Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Tex.), who conveyed these sentiments to Congressional Black Caucus members, so NOW it’s only appropriate that Mr. Young, another up-and-coming poverty pimp, should promote Ms. Clinton to the same level of esteem.

    Have we fallen down the freaking rabbit hole?

    Waaaaaaiiiitaminnit here,

    Is he saying she “deserves” it more than not-so black Osamabamamania because she set up a support network to counter her whoremongering husband? Is that what I heard him say? Is this what passes for a test of honor these days? That - and setting up a “Soul Train line” at a party. Are they REALLY that shallow? Whoops, sorry, I shouldn’t ask rhetorical questions like that.

    i cannot understand why there is so much love for the clintons from any minority community/group, let alone, the black african american. but dems have twisted and spun history to their advantage for over 40 years regarding the civil rights issue, so i guess i shouldn’t be so surprised. it also speaks to how many feel about multi-racial individuals. being multi-racial myself i have experienced some really strange attitudes.

    when will the black african american community wake up?

    but the gall of this man to state that Hillary setting up a defense committee to circumvent the sexual harrassment suits and the sexual affairs by damaging these women’s lives qualifies her? no it qualifies her as one evil $##$…

    OH…MY…GOD!!! THIS is what they are basing their decision on what they want for a President to be? A woman that neutralizes the affairs her husband has? A man who has a plane load of black women because he has “Jungle Fever”? Because you can’t trust a black man alone in a room by himself to lead? Because Bill Clinton can do the Moon Walk all the way down the Soul Train Line that he, himself formed when he was on the way to Nelson Mandela’s inauguration?

    Well crap, no wonder we keep pounding our heads against the wall over this War Against Global Islamic Aggression and their failure to understand it’s significane and seriousness. No wonder they fail to understand the things that Bush finds to be important and why we, as Republicans support him in his endeavors. They are concerned with finding a “cool” President who is going to know how to dance and cover up for adultery and not someone who is going to know how to protect this country against the oncoming nuclear onslaught from the Iranians and other Islamic nutcases bent on creating the Global Caliphate.

    And the whitest white guy currently in the media, who, since his heart attack has taken on the pallor of a 600 thread Egyptian cotton sheet, id considered to be blacker than Barrack Obama, who is, indeed, black.

    No sir, Liberals do not make any sense to me at all. There is no reason, not a single one, to ever listen to them, let alone ever vote one into any office what-so-ever, be it local, state, or national…and if you do, you haven’t a brain in your head.

    This piece of video is hilarious:
    1. At .09 into the video, is the Sunday school teacher saying that “Barack Obama” is one word?
    2. At 1:25 into the video, does Andrew Young say, “Hillary Clinton, first of all, has Bill behind him?” Does he know something about Hillary that we don’t?
    3. At 1:35 into the video, does Andrew Young say, “Bill Clinton has probably raped more black women than Barack?” This I might believe.

    He not only said that, Young also claims that the Clinton’s rely on black people more than Barack does…all within the same paragraph.

    I understood this to mean that Young is claiming something uniquely “black” about a woman who defends her adulterous husband by smacking down the other women who he had adulterous relations with. Am I mixing up two of Young’s ideas that were mentioned in one breath?

    Too funny that Jesse Jackson was involved in extramarital shenanigans while counseling Bubba on his cheating ways. Of course Monica’s fallatio wasn’t actually sex. One liberal woman I know insisted it was not sex. When I asked if that meant it was ok for her own hubby to enjoy that non-sex from some other woman she became irate.
    How many little Billy Bobs did Bubba actually produce out of wedlock? Of course it was wrong when T. Jefferson impregnanted one of his favorite slave girls, but fine for a pwerful man like Bill. Who was that NOW bimbo/feminazi who said she would happily fellate Clinton because he’s done so much for women? They never see the hypocrisy.
    Apparently Obama’s own daddy dearest spread his own seed far and wide. Shouldn’t Barack Hussein O. show his half-siblings some love?

    I’m trying to sort this out. Oprah backs Obama supposedly because he’s black, but she doesn’t support Hillary even though she’s a woman. Andrew Young supports a white woman because supposedly her white husband is more black than Obama. Hillary then struggles with the feminist vote because even as a feminist she embarrasses them. In fact, Obama is doing better with the female vote than Hillary. However, Obama cannot get the black vote whereas Hillary can.

    At not time in these discussions does where either of the candidates stand on the issues enter the picture. It’s all identity and each of them cannot get the backing of the ‘victim group’ they belong to.

    How confusing can liberalism get anyway?

    All of these black Democrat leaders are nothing more than “uncle toms” slavishly devoted to their white “masters”.

    If you are offended by that statement just look at the same statements made against conservative blacks. I would submit that 90 percent of the black population continuing to vote for whatever Democrat or Clinton there is would be better suited to the above comments.

    Little Andy made a trip to South Africa years ago and got involved in their politics, brought pressure to bear on Bortha’s govt. Many of his fellow blacks of South African birth, were burned to death by the thugs often run by Winnie Mandela. She was famous for her “necklacing” of her fellow blacks who weren’t “black enough for the ANC.” Now SA is one of the most violent crime ridden countries on earth. Their poverty under the ANC has grown exponentially and their professional people have fled the country because there is no law. That’s little Andy’s legacy and what will he wish on us?

    It’s probably true that Obama might share less of the “black experience” than Hilly/Billy. After all, he was born to a Kenyan married to a Kansan woman, raised in multicultural Hawaii, and educated at the finest schools. He certainly has no claim to the legacy of racism.

    As we all know from ugly experience, Bill, and by extension his coattail riding wife, feel our pain, especially if we are black.

    Well, all I know is that when she first became First Lady (”Lady” being debatable), there was a rumor that she was told never to wear short skirts. Why? Because, if she bent over, someone might see her balls.

    Yup, them Dems are very proud of Billy Bob’s “Private Indiscretions” and the fact that Hill-Dawg put the smack-down on all the women he had affairs with/raped/what-have-you. However, in true Democrat/liberal fashion, they are now coming out and making a fuss about Rudy having an affair on his wife and the amount of times he has been married. Apparently, such things are reserved only for the Democrats. Should you do such a thing as a Democrat, you are Presidential and it is a private matter between a wife and her husband. However, if you are a Republican, it is to be brought forth into the public arena where you are to be publically humiliated and shown to be not worthy of public office and therefire unworthy and not trustworthy of the office of the President of the United States.

    They are not known to give their hypocrisy a moment’s rest. Just ask Rusty and the rest of them here.

    From Someone NOT ‘On The Hood’

    > i cannot understand why there is so much love for the clintons from any
    > minority community/group, let alone, the black african american.

    There’re multifaceted reasons for this, not to sound simplistic, but all too many American blacks are weaned with a generally entitlement/socialist mentality fostered by a subtle 1.”we were historically wronged so the country owes us some” , 2. “the past injustice so corrupted our heritage and racial self-esteem it’s difficult to get out community together to think outside the white box and promote ‘our own’ businesses”, 3. “whitey just exploits us to do the dirty work like fight his wars and cleans his toilets so we should get some social recompose”, etc. It fosters a kind of mental lethargy that doesn’t inspire or push blacks to their self-improvement and scholastic potential but instead to ‘fall back’ on the sports/ “just get a civil service job” parachute attitude, which is why ounce per once there’re far more blacks in civil service than the usually more high-powered high-pressed merit awards demands of most large businesses and corporations. This helps pumps a LOT of animosity toward anyone (or party) holding a contrary philosophy (can you spell demonize Republicans?) It’s an animus so strong it creates a “Uncle Tom stain” on any black who thinks otherwise and will liberally “forgive” racial transgressions by liberals. My general family — upper middle class — for example, while initially appalled by Imus’s remark about the woman’s basketball team, has eagerly tuned in his return on the radio just to hear him zing Chaney and Bush and the (”unnecessary pro-Israeli/anti-Arab-colored folks white man’s”) war. They SWEAR Chavez and Castro (and even ‘minding his-own-business’ Saddaam) are really WAY misunderstand well-meaning guys who just are a little over zealous trying to make things fair and comfy for all, screw how high taxes it’ll take to reach paradise, etc,. etc. As for 9-11, well we really didn’t have to go to war chasing Osama just because two buildings fell down, I mean, Al Capone and his cohorts shot up thousands in Chicago but that town’s still standing, right?’ These are the attitudes I have to face every Thanksgiving and Christmas and family reunion.

    I live in Queens New York, and one of its stella communities is Flushing — a community made world famous by the Unisphere from the 1964 World’s Fair, which if you’ve seen films like “Men In Black” you’d recognize in a heartbeat. Back then it was an all white community. Today it’s mostly Asians with a sprinkling of Indian and Pakistani. To travel in Flushing is to swear you’re in Seoul Korea or Taiwan because of all the community supported banks and businesses, and they did it with the minimum of government subsidy. Throw into this community the highest scholastic and reading scores in New York City — and the ONLY reason NYC can cluck about its scholastic scores. Few kids are seen playing basketball or any ball on the streets in Flushing after school and the place is infested by assorted bookstores. The flip side to this is Jamaica Queens, a majority middle-class+ black section only a few miles south, massively rebuilt with government investment with new municipal and fed buildings and subways, etc courtesy Dems from John Lindsay up., yet — and I mean this literally — there’s not a single non-religious bookstore on the main avenues. Lots of music and cheapo fashion stores, but anything promoting the intellect? Forget it. Here’s the home of Count Basie, but top rap stars have kicked that old fogey memory out of here and literally shooting it up with zero Dem condemnation. (Oh, Bill Crosby does but he’s not really a Tom, just a tired old man has-been so have pity on him, you know?)

    It will be very difficult to wean blacks off the Democratic Party (whose conventions would have you covering your kids’ ears from listening to the speakers) due the factors, even though ironically it’s quickly turning to sting back, what the influx of illegal aliens taking jobs and classrooms away from them — yet where’s Jackie and Sharpie on this issue?? Who’s holding these hucksters’ leashes on the most relevant of all issues to black Americans? The self-denial game is alive and well in the black community.

    It’s all so frustrating, I got to to the bathroom. Hope I sounded lucid through my rant.

    One of the reasons, according to someone who knows Slick really, really well that
    people like Slick Willie so much is that he does not have a personality of his own.
    Instead, he highjacks the personality of the person he is talking with and projects
    that personality back onto it’s owner, thus, making the person think that Slick is so
    like him/her that they just have to be simpatico.
    What I wonder is, I read the other day, that Slick said if she is elected, he would sit
    in on cabinet meetings, Only If I Am Asked. Does HRC know he said this? After all,
    she didn’t know about he and Monica even after it having been all over the news for
    a couple of days. Come to think of it, isn’t she too slow to be president?

    Back in 92, i was running sound for all the candidates as they came into my city. I was standing on the stage after Bill’s speech, waiting for him to finish up so I could grab the mics and get the heck out of there and go home, when he was shaking hands on the way out. I was actually pretty impatient, when he grabbed my hand. Two things suddenly went through my mind. The first was I was struck by how tall he was. I am 6′2″ tall, and he was about as tall as I was and pretty much built like me. I wasn’t expecting that. There was one other thought that went though my mind.

    At the time, I wasn’t sure who I was voting for. I was waiting for Bush to say the thing I wanted him to say, which was, “Hey, I have been a bit busy. You know, the Berlin wall came down…I had a war…lots of stuff. Sorry about the taxes, but Dems in Congress stuffed me against the wall and I had no choice. Just give me a chance and let me finish the job.”

    Anyway, the thing that instantly went through my mind when he grabbed my hand and shook it was “Used Car Salesman”.

    that’s right. His presence, his demeanor, his handshake..everything hit me like a used car salesman. It was at that very instant, that one hand shake that I knew, I would never, ever vote for this man ever, no matter what. As the weeks and months went on, I was struck by how many people referred to him in that manner, as well as how many reasons I was given as to why I would not want to legitimately not want to voe for him, nor could I figure out why anyone would want to.

    Shortly after he was elected, i was working another gig, and everyone was talking about how they were excited about finally being able to “pay their own share” towards the debt. I was beside myself. i told them I already paid enough in taxes, and if they wanted to feel really good, when i go my bill they could pay that too. this guy had people in a trance. Seriously, just like a used car salesman. then came the bake sales…

    …This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the “unalienable Rights” of “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. … Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God’s children. … Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. … that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. … I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

    Would that speech be considered sexist today because it spoke of “Men” instead of people or individuals?

    Who is judging who now? Oh well, it was just a dream after all right?

    Andrew Young should be asked in interviews about his statement that Jews and also Arabs and Koreans exploited Black people. He specifically made a reference to “Goldberg selling rotten lettuce to Black people”. His statement was as bigoted as it gets amd Walmart fired him from some do nothing post Walmart had given him. Young knew that he had to clear the air after his remark was published so he naturally went to CNN and Larry King where they all agreed that Mr. Young was somehow tricked into saying things he didn’t believe.
    Mr. Young, like Jesse Jackson, can not accept the fact that nobody cares about him any longer. He is truly Mr. Irelevant and he does not like it.

    Norman Mailer’s The White Negro

    the Negro had stayed alive and begun to grow by following the need of his body where he could. Knowing in the cells of his existence that life was war, nothing but war, the Negro (all exceptions admitted) could rarely afford the sophisticated inhibitions of civilization, and so he kept for his survival the art of the primitive, he lived in the enormous present, he subsisted for his Saturday night kicks, relinquishing the pleasures of the mind for the more obligatory pleasures of the body, and in his music he gave voice to the character and quality of his existence, to his rage and the infinite variations of joy, lust, languor, growl, cramp, pinch, scream and despair of his orgasm.

    That does sound like Bubba, doesn’t it?
