Bill Clinton disses on the patriotism of other candidates in the race

"I think it would be a great thing if we had an election year where you had two people who loved this country and were devoted to the interest of this country," said Clinton, who was speaking to a group of veterans Friday in Charlotte, N.C. "And people could actually ask themselves who is right on these issues, instead of all this other stuff that always seems to intrude itself on our politics."
- Bill Clinton

This from an elder statesman, and former President.

This is not the first time Bill Clinton has made inappropriate
remarks as an attack dog for Hillary. Though she has reined him
in recently, in the earlier primary races the former president attracted
much other criticism. Following South Carolina's primary in January, he was accused of fanning racial tensions for appearing to cast Obama as little more than a black candidate popular in state with a heavily black electorate. He also criticized the news media for making a race story out of his comments.
