Hillary accused of calling black child a "nig"

[AlonzoMourning23]

Asks a commenter — "Tom" — on my post about the new Hillary Clinton commercial, the one that shows several children sleeping and then Clinton taking a national security phone call in the middle of the night. You can see the commercial at the link, and the pajamas in question are on display during seconds 11 and 12. On pausing, staring, and thinking, I believe these are pajamas that say "good night" all over them, but the letters "NIG" are set apart by a fold in the fabric.

Is the campaign responsible for sending out a subliminal message to stimulate racist thoughts in the unsuspecting viewer? It is either deliberate or terribly incompetent. There is no other writing on screen until the very end of the commercial, and if letters appear in any place in a commercial, they should be carefully selected letters. Certainly, each image is artfully composed and shot and intended to deliver an emotional impact. Could this be a mere lapse?

Are these the same people that stop frame every Disney cartoon movie made so they can find crotch shots of the female characters?

Wow, people have nothing better to do than to speculate about the letters on a blanket. It is an oversight, people need to get real.

Crotch shots? You mean I've been wasting all my time looking for the phallic symbols in the castles??!!

[AlanC]

Lily, apparently, yes

[Pookie]

Okay, that's ridiculous! If it says "Night" then duhh...a fold in the fabric would make "Nig."
This is so stupid! Who's the idiot who doesn't have enough to do?

Even now this is just dumb.

[Truth_and_Power]

That's Racist!!

[preservanation]

I wouldn't put it past the Clintons.
I'm not saying they did do it on purpose, but when I said that they will do anything to get elected...I meant Anything to get elected.
That is my contention, not that they did do it.

[micfranklin]

Even if she did I'm not gonna blow it out of proportion like every other person will.

[preservanation]

The only place this is getting any attention or traction is on the web.
Most media/people agree with you mic...and won't touch it.

It's funny though, Obama's supporters seem to pull out the race issue when they thing Hillary is starting challenge him. Obama isn't, but his supporters are.

[4Reaganomics]

and meanwhile Obama believes in a black values system and his wife talks about the whit oppressors and their church rewards a racist bigot like Louis Farrakhan

and they have the audacity to say that Hillary is the racist candidate. I do not see how people in the democratic party are manipulated by words and can't see that the substantive, experienced, and most electable candidate in the electoral college system is Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Eh.......I don't see Hillary being the "chosen one". Now I'm just waiting for the tit-for-tat when someone mentions Gender.

Like the Democrats or not.....you've got to admit this is history in the making, when the 2 frontrunners are a race and gender never been taken seriously in a Presidential campaign before.......and the Democrats are the ones doing it.

Excellent point, Zo!
This is why we (the evil right) loves the fact that Hillary and Obama are going to bloody each other into their convention.
Can you imagine, if the Clintons are being painted as racists by the Obama camp now, how the press and libs would portray the GOP and McCain for any criticism of him?
Holy Shiit!
I see Mccain being a wuss about this and thus afraid to point out Obama's failings as a serious candidate for fears of accusations of racism.
We have been through this before and know all to well how it goes.
Mark my words
