Power's RESIGNATION is too little too late. CLINTON should make Obama EAT the word, "MONSTER"!

[CyberPieHole]

This "pulitzer prize winner", Samantha Power needs to be raked over the coals. A woman with her educational background does not take mis~steps...everything she shays or does is calculated. Anything Samantha Power has said or written against Senator Clinton should be re~examined and needs to be exposed for the hate~mongering that it is. Obama has surrounded himself with snakes and crooks. It's time the media wake up to that fact.

I am glad that Samantha Power said what she did. The media will be discussing the depths to which the Obama campaign has SUNK. This kind of coverage is priceless and is sure to cost Obama in the end. Senator Clinton is correct in comparing Obama to Kenneth Starr and Samantha Power just PROVED it.



Samantha Power one of Barack Obama's "TOP FOREIGN POLICY ADVISORS"!:evilgrin:

1. you really shouldn't be allowed to play with matches...

your flames are a little obvious...

[Tropics_Dude83]

5. GARBAGE

[ChairmanAgnostic]

19. right. the OP certainly is.

full of it.

[roguevalley]

89. I think he should eat monster right after she eats Ken Starr.

[hedgehog]

4. "everything she shays " ? Isn't it a little early in the day to be that

plastered?

[NightWatcher]

6. are you serious?

then Queen Hillary should be raked over the coals for the blackening of Obama's face in tv and print ads along will the dozens of nasty little tricks that her surrogates have played as well.

[tabatha]

7. What a lot of nonsense.

The comparison was because Obama asked Clinton to come clean about her tax returns SINCE she left the White House.

When Clinton was running for senate she asked the SAME thing about her opponent - to release his tax returns.

She is a hypocrite.

Good lord, the logic around here is so bad.

[Kittycat]

8. Sore Loser.

You've already lost, now we just watch her campaign implode.

BTW - I wonder how much internal information Penn is feeding McCain's camp?

[HardWorkingDem]

9. Oh, let's see here...HRC followers mad at Obama...but give a pass to McCain "bitch"...

Just love it.

Where was this amount of outrage when a McCain supporter referred to her as "bitch" and McCain responded by adding "excellent question."

Guess soon we'll be seeing a new photo of McCain hugging HRC's armpit...

[CitizenRob]

10. Troll?? You care about "monster" but not HRC endorsing McCain over Obama? I agree, STFU.

[oasis]

21. Hillary never "endorsed" McCain, she merely stated facts that were obvious.(eom)

[cali]

26. No she didn't. Dirrrrty Hilly lied her butt off.

She said that all Obama had in the way of experience was a 2002 speech. What can you expect but filty lies from a filthy little liar such as Dirrrty Hilly?

[CitizenRob]

44. watch the video

[oasis]

The issue was "national security". Hillary jokingly used "the speech" as a measure of

Obama's overall knowledge on the subject. Not a lie.

[Medusa]

11. Obama should not have accepted this woman's resignation

she was right.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

24. agreed.

how many hillarians have resigned after the muslim lies, the NAFTA crap, the drug dealing deceit, and more?

The problem is hillary approves this stuff because it is who she is. Truth and honesty are campaign slogans for her, not an approach to life.

I have never felt more regret about a resignation forced by the Monsters from the Dark Side.

[foxer]

97. Should rehire her, with a salary this time

[kentuck]

12. Yes, she should be a real monster about it.

:-)

[CitizenRob]

13. "too little too late"??? The story broke... what? 24 hours ago?

[Skidmore]

14. It's past time for Hillary to fire her Republican campaign manager.

You know, the one who is the boss to McCain's campaign manager? Then she needs to apologize to the Democratic Party for thie insult of her campaign.

[OhioBlue]

15. get over yourself. n/t

[Fluffdaddy]

16. Things have gotten nasty. I hope we are not playing right into the GOP hands

[txaslftist]

We are. Hillary has calculated that if she can't win in '08,

... it'll be better for her for McCain to win. Then she can run in 2012 on "I told you so ..."

This is an amazing replay of 1968, minus the assassinations.

[RaleighNCDUer]

78. So far.

April and June still lie ahead of us.

I dread turing on the news, every day.

[txaslftist]

81. Oy. Let's don't go there.

You've put your finger on my darkest fear.

[dansolo]

106. This is exactly the reason why I would not want Hillary as Obama's VP

[seabeyond]

72. hillary has become gop hands..... n.t

[Auntie Bush]

103. We already are!

We've been playing into their hands for months. Ever since the far left started slinging mud (right wing hateful talking points) and lies about Hillary. Then Hillary supporters were forced to defend her. That's when it all started and the Obamites started this free for all and are totally responsible for generating so much hate.

[stellanoir]

17. Yeah right

Pulitzer Prize winning PHD's who teach at Harvard and have spent their careers making efforts to stop genocide are really both crooks and snakes.

/sarcasm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samantha_Power

[angie_love]

18. EFF YOU! POS!

Lets see, what have YOU done thats half as brilliant, or even 1/10th? She has more brilliance in her little pinky finger than you will ever have in your whole life. Get over yourself.

[cali]

20. LOL!! Hey, genius, Power IS a pulitizer prize winner.

Putting that in quotation marks just makes you look ignorant. And you're wrong about her comments being calculated. Unlike Dirty Hilly's charming toadies, Wolfshit and Penn, Power is not a politician and has never been involved in politics before. And sorry, but this is the very definition of a one day wonder. The story ended when she resigned. Let's move on to Wolfshit's remarks about Obama being Ken Starr.

[Josiah1982]

65. Power is so smart that she said something to a reportre that forced her to resign

who's the "ignorant" one. She should know how interviews work. She won a pulitzer prize for effs sake. This just shows how desperate the obama camp is.

[cali]

91. No. She's not a politician. She's never worked on a political

campaign and she made a gaffe. It has ip to do with desperation. Obama is in a much better position than hilly. It's clear from her behavior that the Clinton campaign is the one that's desperate.

[sharp_stick]

22. Again BFD

This fake outrage is really getting kind of boring. Raked over the coals? What a pantload of steamy goodness.

[tandot]

23. I think both campaigns should refrain from personal attacks

and I say that as a Hillary supporter.

However, I also think that being compared to Ken Starr is a little bit different to being called a "monster." Can you imagine if the Clinton campaign would have compared Obama to Ted Bundy?

Both campaigns should focus on the important issues at hand and stop the whining and complaining.

[Fluffdaddy]

25. To late for that, This is going to be Super Bad

[tandot]

34. Boy, I really am glad when the whole primary is over

Both campaigns have passionate supporters and, as you said, things are "going to be super bad"

[seabeyond]

32. there you go hillary supporter, dont accept an apology for a mistake, excuse an intended insult

and justify it

[tandot]

49. You go ahead and justify calling a candidate a monster

Obama supporters would go nuts if someone would have called Obama something like that. Do you think DUers who support Obama would accept an apology if the shoe is on the other foot?

She resigned and Clinton had ZERO to do with it. There are Clinton supporters who stepped over the line and resigned or were fired and I don't blame Obama for it.

Obama doesn't need supporters like her saying stuff like that in public. Once he runs against McCain, he can NOT be surrounded by such loose cannons. The last thing we want the Democratic nominee having to do is to apologize publicly for inappropriate name-calling.

Criticize all you want but don't resort to name-calling. And this goes for both campaigns.

[seabeyond]

58. no one was. strog majority of obama people calle dpower on it and wanted the apology.

that is the difference between the obama and hillary people. obama talks about a dead reagan we say stop that shit. hillary praise a competitive kinda alive mccain and hillary support keep mouth shut or justify it.

hillary and her people are becoming so clear to the people, there is a smell to bushco/rove behavior we have been smelling it for 8 years. we see it easily. people are talking about it. she wont be much longer. she chose the wrong path. this isnt dems

[tandot]

71. Unlike a few of the Obama supporters, I can criticize my candidate about things I don't like.

I am not blind to her faults. She shouldn't talk positive about McCain or Reagan, neither should he.

Besides that, whatever is going on here on DU does not reflect what is going on in America. As you can see with all of the polls, Hillary still has strong support among Democrats. Maybe not as high as Obama in some places, but still strong.

You might not see as many Hillary supporters here on DU any more. Many have left DU because of the blind and vicious hatred against her. Others just have the GD-P forum on hide so they don't have to read the trash.

Right now, DU looks like a lake full of piranhas with a few injured animals trying to swim to the other side. Once only piranhas are left, you'll be eating each other.

[seabeyond]

74. right because power resigning less than 24 hrs after apology is really bad..... rollin eyes. n/t

[tandot]

76. You are apparently not reading or not understanding my posts

Roll your eyes all you want.

I don't really care if that idiot resigned. It was up to her and the Obama team.

The original point I was making was that both teams should not personally attack the opponent and also not to talk positively about Republicans.



Just ignore any of my further posts. Life is to precious to waste with pointless arguments.

[Carolina]

52. ge seems to me that at the time, we Dems all

thought the Ken Starr was indeed a MONSTER! So your difference is elusive...

[tandot]

60. Ted Bundy was a monster. I never thought of Ken Starr as one

Starr was an overzealous and biased investigator who was apparently blinded by his support for the Republican party.

[democrattotheend]

27. She resigned almost immediately. What more do you want?

And since she resigned, what difference does it make what else she did or said in the past?

[seabeyond]

28. you are sick. so republican. what a shame. 8 yrs olf this crap it isnt funny or cute

just sick

[dchill]

29. You are such a gifted and inspirational writer...

Your talents are wasted on the dregs of humanity that frequent these premises. Too bad you didn't live in Germany in the 1930's. Himmler could have used talent like yours!

[JimGinPA]

30. Another Drive-By Flamethrower

[KAZ]

31. You and the Monster can take an FN leap. n/t

[jpak]

33. Obama should *make * Hillary eat the words "Ken Starr", "Canada" and "NAFTA"

as far as I know...

[NDambi]

35. Awww,,,the hell with the Monster...she deserves it

[Ellipsis]

36. I actually think it's a brilliant move.

Going negative without going negative. It actually pumps their integrity up a notch.

As you say it will be what "The media will be discussing" ..."the monster" issue will stick. With the spotlighting of her resignation, an issue which would have disappeared in a day will be hovering around during this next critical time period.


And Powers... She'll still be around, just informally ...for now.

[jlake]

37. No, it's just flat out going negative..... this came from the Obama campaign.

I tam trumpeting far and wide here in PA.

[Ellipsis]

43. Go for it. Trumpet away.

[jlake]

45. Yep. I have already flipped 2 Obama supporters... One to undecided and one to Hilly!!!

[Ellipsis]

53. Well they say one person can affect the rational of 50.

For me, I like to make up my own mind.

Good luck with that.

[jlake]

57. Working on my grandparents now.... they were leaning McCain

but I know I can get the sympathy vote from my grandma.... she doesn't like mean bullies picking on women.
...... then to my cousins and my sister ...... and my co-workers, and my book club and everyone I meet on the streets..... ah tonight with my friends.... probably 4 more Hilly votes (Most are already smart enough, so can't flip those good eggs)

[Ellipsis]

70. As long as they VOTE. Hopefully democratic, and the vote COUNTS

I still haven't made a final decision.

I watch the rhetoric on both sides mainly here in GDP, not exclusively. I dislike what I've seen in the last couple of weeks from Hillary, admittedly it was a well timed execution of the kitchen sink mantra IMO. She did what she did to stay in the race and she has the chops and the "balls to play in the big sand box. But the fighting style is something I've never liked.

If Obama has gone negative (and I do believe he is making an effort not to) it's like Bambi verses Godzilla.

Peace.

[txaslftist]

100. You mean one to McCain and one to Hillary. Way to go chuckles.

[Iceburg]

111. I got one today too -- and she was Bama--Ogahggah 3 weeks ago/nt

[jlake]

38. I agree completely. The Obama sleaze machine is in overdrive.... and Hilly needs to fight back!

[snappyturtle]

39. Remember that children are taught:

Sticks and stones...(yada,yada,yada).......names will never hurt me.


I think Senator Clinton had better toughen up if she wants to be president. She's probably heard a lot worse. :eyes:

[OhioBlue]

40. Some people say Hillary is a Monster.

But she's not - as far as I know.

[Josiah1982]

62. Some people say obama is a muslim. But hes's not- as far as I know.

[OhioBlue]

66. uh yeah - that's what Clinton said.

so..... are you a Clinton supporter mocking Clinton?

[Gore1FL]

41. LEt's give CLinton a one syllable word to eat.

Math

[dbonds]

42. You are going to rake someone over the goals for having an opinion?

I'm kind of agreeing with Samantha.

[NorthernSpy]

46. Hillary made friends with the man who joked about her daughter being "ugly".

She IS a monster.

The Los Angeles Times, in its Life & Style section, provided an oblique rendering of the joke that did not fully convey its ugliness. When Maureen Dowd penned a column in the New York Times about the joke, she wrote that McCain "is so revered by the press that his disgusting jape was largely nudged under the rug." But Dowd chose not to relay the joke, either.

The joke did appear in McCain's hometown paper, the Arizona Republic, and the Associated Press did report the joke in full, so everyone in the press had access to McCain's words. But by censoring themselves, the Post, the Times and others helped McCain deflect flak and preserved his status as a Republican presidential contender.

Salon feels its readers deserve the unadulterated truth. Though no tape of McCain's quip has yet emerged, this is what he reportedly said:



"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?
Because her father is Janet Reno."

http://www.salon.com/news/1998/06/25newsb.html

A Hillary-Clinton-vs.-John-McCain election would be "the most civilized election in American history," joked Bill Clinton, "because they like and respect each other."

Bill Clinton made this remark in a speech about how his Senator wife has worked well with Republican Senators, particularly with McCain. "She and John McCain are very close," said the former president.

McCain, who recently won the endorsement of the New York Times, exchanged pleasantries with Hillary Clinton at the ABC debate earlier this month. He told her she did a "good job" in New Hampshire and asked her to say hello to Bill for him.

[Carolina]

47. pie hole, good name and an apt description

for your post and logic

[blogslut]

48. You know what you can shut

right?

[underpants]

50. I'm reminded of the open mic that caught Kerry's "most crooked" comment

These guys are the most crooked, you know, lying group I've ever seen

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,113882,00.html

[ChairmanAgnostic]

55. kerry was right then, Power was right yesterday.

the depths to which hillary's campaign goes is beneath contempt.

[karynnj]

68. Kerry did not say precisely who he was speaking of

and when he had a press conference to say that he was NOT apologizing he spoke of those people who were putting out lies. He may not have intended the comment to be public, but he also had no difficulty standing behind it. In 2004, a subset of the Republicans had already shown themselves to be crooks and liars.

Here the word monster was over the top - and I assume she couldn't claim she meant a sesame street monster.

[cooolandrew]

51. HRC is only enraged as the truth hurts. Any rational person knows she has behaved like a pig..

..Probably more to this as well for the mild mannered Ms Powers to say that. She was a worthy candidate for VP so something has gone on behind the scenes.

www.members.aol.com/cooolandrew2/outstanding.mp3

[greguganus]

54. Yeah!! What does Samantha have against monsters?

Monsters everywhere have called for Samantha's resignation!!
How dare her try to drag monsters through the mud!

[TexasLady]

56. wow this is a bit over the top

kinda perpetuating the 'hate mongering'?

[here_is_to_hope]

59. Project much? n/t

[txaslftist]

61. Is she correct that John McCain would make a better president than Obama?

I mean, in your opinion?

[JackORoses]

63. Hillary is a Monster. Someone needed to say it. Samantha took one for the Team.

People all over the Country will find themselves agreeing with her words.

[snappyturtle]

79. I think Sen. Clinton has treated the party monstrously so if that

makes her a monster, so be it. I say this in respect to her fostering McCain's leadership qualities and her disrespect for the Democratic party rules in regard to Fl and MI.

[dionysus]

64. they still let you play here troll?

[Vinca]

67. Aides running off at the mouth are nothing compared to campaigns

who spread a smear that directly impacts an election. The vote in Ohio was based on NAFTA. Prior to the vote, Obama was trashed far and wide over a claim that was immediately refuted by none other than the Prime Minister of Canada and recorded on videotape. But never mind, the trashing continued, and Obama took a rare beating in Ohio. So what have we learned now? It was actually the Clinton campaign who contacted the Canadians and told them to take her position with "a grain of salt." She lied to Ohio voters and won. You must be very proud - especially given we've had a president who lies as a matter of course for the past 7+ years. Is that the experience she's touting?

[1776Forever]

69. This comment shows HRC & her supporters are haters who cannot admit their fallacies!

It seems to me that if HRC supporters like you could admit that no one is perfect, and that like me, you all have said things that were regretted later and show some forgiveness it would be a virtue that would help to cut off some of your and HRC's sharp edges and make people see that by doing so you are all acting like mature, professional, and caring people. Something to think about?

:eyes:

73. It's just about noon...

[RunningFromCongress]

77. Hillary is a monster. A power hungry, ruthless monster. And she'll lose the GE b/c of it.

[amborin]

80. plus: Samantha Power wants US intervention everywhere on the planet

is that the kind of foreign policy you want?

[txaslftist]

88. Then why isn't she advising the Hillary campaign?

[frylock]

82. it must be difficult for you to not be able to resort to the sexist card on this one..

or has team clinton deemed monster to be a sexist term?

[CyberPieHole]

114. When did I make such a claim? Do you have a link or are you blowing smoke out your

asp?

[amborin]

83. Samantha repeats Right Wing attacks against Hillary, name calling is so school yard nasty

that's what they've been saying for years now.....on the worst of the worst right wing sites....

is this helping Dems?

to have top dem campaign advisors acting like such name-calling jerks?

we are killing our chances for Nov

[MadBadger]

86. OMFG. Every time anybody says anything bad about Hillary, its accused of being a RW attack

[NashVegas]

84. Tonight On Hardball: Is Hillary a Monster, And If So, How Do We Kill It?

She is a traitor. Calling her a monster is nothing.

[SoxFan]

87. To alcohol!

The cause of and solution to all of life's problems!

[faithfulcitizen]

90. Ya know what, I think it hurts Clinton to bring it up, because the term resonates with so many.

Think Jane Fonda in "Monster-In-Law". How about "Monster-In-Chief"? She should drop it quickly...

[Josiah1982]

92. kinda like the Obama/Muslim rumor? That resonates too. Doesn't make it right.

obama and his people should be careful about slinging mud, cause there is lots of mud to go around. just because something 'resonates' doesn't mean it's fair game. It seems as if both camps are on the agressive and the only one really winning is mcCain.

[faithfulcitizen]

96. okay, my point is *she* should stop bringing it up. It doesn't help her to keep it going.

[Mooney]

93. You're overreacting.

The woman resigned. What else should she do, saw off her own hands?

[PITBOS]

94. So are you say she is or is not a monster?!

[Thepricebreaker]

95. Too Freaking bad... go cry somewhere else.. What is this? Powderpuff Football? GET OVER IT. n/t

[Beacool]

98. Well, it's going to be "monstrous" in November

when plenty of us Hillary supporters stay home or vote for someone other than Obama.

:shrug:

[CyberPieHole]

107. You can take that to the bank.

There is absolutely NO reason why anyone who supports Hillary Clinton should vote for Barack Obama if he gets the nod. Obama does not need the votes of those who "support MONSTERS".

[awaysidetraveler]

99. Obama should not have accepted this woman's resignation.

Monsterous?

http://www.slate.com/features/delegatecounter/

You do the math: Hillary already lost this election, and she's doing her best to ruin our chances at the GE.

Her comments about McCain being better qualified than Obama? Monsterous.

Her lies about NAFTA? Monsterous.

Your continuing scathing attacks against your own next presidential candidate--Obama? Monsterous.

Cut it out.

[CreekDog]

101. Only if Tubbs-Jones resigns from that campaign

"his traditional clothing"

and Power should have said, "she's not a monster, as far as I know, I'll take her word for that".

The Clinton campaign couldn't have complained about that one.

[Bluerthanblue]

104. so, Hillary is your new GWBush? the fascist leader?

no thanks-

You can have her- and she can have you.

[superkia]

105. What should Obama make Clinton eat for killing thousands of...

innocent people in a war led by an agenda over oil? Lets see which one really effects Americans, the word monster or an atrocious war?

[CyberPieHole]

108. The war he votes to support? Is that the war you are writing about?

[superkia]

109. Yeah, the Iraq war, I would have thought everyone knew I was...

talking about that one. What should he make her eat for spewing the same propaganda that bush was to convince us to go to war for the oil...wait no, they were convincing us it was about 9/11. Thats the war, I'm not sure how it works if you don't support spending bills that they tied equipment and pay into, I'm talking about one seeing the reality that there was no reason for it and the other seeing that there was a reason...oil. I don't think oil for lives was a good agenda, but some do and they continue to support those candidates. I wonder if they would if it were their family members over there?

I know that all of them that sold us a lie that killed my cousin can kiss my ass, I will never support them because they have shown their true colors...who's agenda they support, the elite. Fuck the lives lost, it wasn't there family.

[Arkana]

110. Sure, maybe when the Clinton people apologize for calling us

"Rovian" and "Kenneth Starr".

Oh, wait, I forgot--it's OK if you're Hillary, right?

[RBInMaine]

112. UNPAID PART TIME ADVISER - NOW FIRED - END OF STORY

This was ONE person who's gaffe can't be extrapolated to everyone. It was unauthorized, she apologized, and she's been quickly dismissed. End of story, unless this is the best you've got. Also, I don't have enough time to name all the Clinton surrogates who have made rotten statements about Obama and his supporters, like the asshole Union guy in OH who called Obama supporters "latte drinking Burkenstock wearing trust fund babies." Do you condone that??? Why didn't Hillary denounce it?? Double standards as usual. You have embraced someone who has embraced the opposition and taken the scorched Earth negative approach. Then you have the gall to chuck out this post. Pathetic.

[milkyway]

113. I'm all for the media talking endlessly about Hillary being called a monster.

Yes, let's have a CNN special about whether Powers was being heartfelt or calculated. Maybe they'll have Candy Crowley present reasons why some people think that Hillary Clinton is, in fact, a monster, and the rest of the crew can debate whether or not they're right, while David Gergen says tsk, tsk, tsk. They might even send Anderson Cooper on location--in a black t-shirt!--to examine the "facts" about whether Hillary Clinton is, indeed, a monster. Maybe they'll call it "Planet in Peril?"
