Hillary Clinton makes racist joke about Gandhi

Hmmm, you can hear the actual recording here.

You know, it''s actually kind of a funny joke.

Eh. I''ve heard more offensive comments than that, I''m sure ...

Yep. From the articles I read it sounded like some horrible thing, but it''s really not that bad. Perhaps that''s why the whole thing basically blew over.

One of those jokes which just doesn''t translate into text, you really need the tone of voice.

The media blows things way out of proportion just to fill a few pages or extend a show a few min.

I don''t find it funny at all. That was absolutely retarded.

oh, come on. The Senator of New York has no business saying anything like that. It''s not even a mix up like the racist joke her husband made: "America doesn''t Welsh on its debts," which could be explained away as a common saying that was not REALIZED as offensive. Hillary Clinton had to write that on paper, or her speach writers did, and it had to pass through sensitivity checkers. If she said it spur of the moment, then she is a pretty poor politician for not following the script.

Yea but how care about you? You never got laid by Bill Clinton (I''m assuming), which is why its extra specail that it came from her and not some average joe.

It was so utterly non-funny to me that I don''t think I get the joke.

Could someone explain it in a couple sentances? I really have no idea how that could be interpretted as funny to anyone... I don''t get it.

Anyone offended by a joke on gandhi is a biznitch

It''s a racist "joke" because there''s a stupid trend going around, falsly steriotyping predominant people of Southeast Asian ethnicities as "gas station and convience store owners," and it''s obviously promoted by politicians. What are you going to do. *sigh*

I don''t currently recall the name of the radio guy, but he is a fucking tard.

It will be useful to see who whines about political correctness now! We''ll have conservatives dishing on Hillary for her insensitivity and liberals complaining about hypersensitivity.

I love politics!


(btw, how does the Simpsons get away with this stereotype with Abu? Just wondering...)

and the point of that comment was......
and it''s haitians not what you misspelled.

note: though it seemed to be a big deal, that particular line in the video game wasn''t all that serious, especially it reflected the gang mentality at that time. plus i believe that same game said "kill all cubans" and "kill all jamaicans". so really, people need better things to worry about and fix then what''s said on a video game.....
