TRUTH OUTS: Carlson first reporter to admit Obama's media plot to smear Clintons as racist

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.

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’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?
