Bill Clinton's Greatest Contribution to the Civil Rights Movement

As the contest for the Democrat presidential nomination sours over racial issues, former President Bill Clinton said today, “I owe it to Martin Luther King to take down Barack Obama by whatever means possible.”

President Clinton, eagerly hoping to return to the White House as First Gent, said “Dr. King envisioned a day when a person would be judged not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.”

“If we don’t work hard to tarnish Obama’s character,” Mr. Clinton said, “then I would be treating him as something less than a full political rival due to the color of skin. Each time Hillary and I sling mud at Barack, or stretch the truth a bit, or take his remarks out of context, it’s a demonstration of the triumph of the Civil Rights movement. He’s getting the same ruthless, negative treatment that we would give to any white candidate.”

The former president added that, “My greatest contribution to the Civil Rights movement will come when the first legitimate black presidential candidate falls in battle, crushed by the vicious tactics of a white presidential couple who love African-Americans more than they love themselves.”
