#3 She be from da south, southside of Chicago. Saw it clip on Leno last night. Reminiscent of the finest traditions of carpetbaggers. Truly a painful experience, like William F. Buckley, Jr. trying to speak jive.

#4 This is satire, right?
She is not multilingual - like most Americans, she speaks only English. Does she speak with a Spanish accent when she addresses a Hispanic audience? Or speak in Spanish, better yet?

#5 I've seen her little bullshit cornpone act and my first thought was, "Jesus, that's insulting as hell". What's next, blackface?
But she's Hillary! so no rules apply...

#6 Ms. Clinton, I knew Southern accents, and that was no Southern accent.

#9 Hillary is remarkably naive if she thinks that in this media-saturated age she can pull these stunts and no one will notice! This woman is an absolute disgrace.

#10 Thank you for the link, GP. The only thing more repulsive than such blatant patronizing is the fact that this carpetbagger was getting applauded for it. Much like Hispanics after Bush's election, do America's blacks really think that they won't be cast aside like an old shoe the moment Hillary steps into the Oval Office?

#11 Kewl! No if she can only toss her head from side to side whilst waving her finger she will be as Black as she can be.

#12 She has no virtue.

#13 She does NOT have a Southern accent. I, however, have been told I have a Mexican accent when speaking Spanish. This form my wife who was from Puerto Rico. The pandering by this abomination is unbeleavable.

#14 I think her "multilingual" reference was to her sexual preference. I could be wrong, tho.....

#15 Most Americans speak only English? I'm quite certain that isn't true. I could read and write in Hebrew before I could do so in English, my American-born father-in-law from the other side of town speaks Polish as fluently as English even yet and Mr. Wife used to speak in French with his mother, I've a girlfriend from North Carolina whose three native tongues are American, Greek and German. How many of those born in America translate into Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Spanish, Russian, etc and so forth for their not-much-English speaking parents and grandparents? Not to mention the many Americans who've been abroad long enough to acquire another language or several... or have learnt Spanish in self defense. ;-)

#16 TW, most Americans do speak English only. There's nothing wrong with English spoken well. ;-).

I'd say that probably the same portion of Americans speak other tongues as is usual in most other countries.

#17 look at countries of similar size. I bet Americans of the "interior" speak and know a LOT more foreign languages than Russia, China, Canada, et al....not EVEN counting Dearborn
