Spike Lee Clocks the Clintons By James Hirsen May 6, 2008 When it comes to political speech, Spike Lee is not known for shyness. While appearing on Bloomberg TV, the Obama supporting filmmaker launched a verbal missile in the direction of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Lee cautioned the public about the tactics of the Hillary campaign, saying, “If you know anything about the Clintons and what they've done in politics, they are gonna knock out some kneecaps.” The director-writer portrayed the former president and First Gent wanna-be as having played “his whole thing like he is the great white father.” He also alluded to statements from Bill that some critics have characterized as racist, saying, “I think that they thought this thing was going to be over Super Tuesday, and Obama's a nice young guy, but they didn’t see him as a threat, but when things started to play out the way they did, then they saw their whole thing was in jeopardy.” Lee added, “And that’s when he isn’t just the nice young little guy anymore ... he's our blood enemy -- and then that's when you start to see the things come out the side of President Clinton's neck, comments he meant in South Carolina.” |
