Olbermann Tackles Clinton Campaign's Injection of Racism Into the Campaign

Keith Olbermann speaks out: To date 3 of Clinton's most senior advisors - her husband, Bill Clinton; Governor Ed Rendell; and now Geraldine Ferraro - have all injected racial statements into the campaign "offhandedly". This can not be an accident, given that there have been three; they are all very senior; and they are as close to her as can be.

These statements have taken us back to the times of the 50's, when Martin Luther King battled such views and statements.

Today Senator Clinton extended an "apology" - that being, "I'm sorry if these remarks offended you" to paraphrase. If she wants to stop it now, she can say, as she demanded of Senator Obama on Louis Farrakhan - that you, Senator Clinton, condemn these statements and they have no place in your campaign, nor do the people who have made them. I'm sorry if one of those was your husband. And, further, I'm sorry if this offends you. (Greetings)
