Black Entertainment Network founder Bob Johnson, at a South Carolina campaign appearance with Senator Hillary Clinton, said the following to the audience: "And to me, as an African American, I am frankly insulted that the Obama campaign would imply that we are so stupid that we would think Hillary and Bill Clinton, who have been deeply and emotionally involved in black issues since Barack Obama was doing something in the neighborhood--and I won't say what he was doing, but he said it in the book--when they have been involved."
What was Johnson referring to? Obama's published admission of past drug use. What did Clinton say about Johnson's statement when she spoke after Johnson? Nothing. That's not even plausible deniability.
Johnson later explained that he was only speaking about Obama's "time spent as a community organizer, and nothing else." To be polite, that's simply not true. And the game continues.
