is hillary out campaigning for obama? attacking mccain? i never hear about it.

[goletian]

am i missing something? is the media ignoring it?

[babylonsister]

1. Yes she is...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=6678131&mesg_id=6678131

[BlooInBloo]

4. That article only says that she "plans to", Tomorrow. Not that she *is*.

[babylonsister]

5. So I'm giving her the benefit. I can do that. nt

[BlooInBloo]

7. You can do whatever you like. It's just a misleading answer to the OPs question.

[babylonsister]

10. Bullshit. Your disregard is overtaking your reasoning. I don't like

her either, but this is on her schedule. I guess the weather might influence what she does, but otherwise, I imagine she'll be there.

[BlooInBloo]

11. I guess we disagree on what the meaning of "is" is.

[RedShoes]

25. or you have some unrealistic expectations...like wanting her to donate a kidney or something. nt

[musicblind]

54. It does seem like you are letting your hate of Hillary get the best of your judgement

she has done several campaign stops for Barack and has more scheduled.

[Lucinda]

8. She was just in New Mexico for O a couple days ago and is going to Florida

Yes. She is working on his behalf

[Motown_Johnny]

2. Yes, one event on the same day as the Olympic Opening Ceremony.. they picked a slow news day for it

[goletian]

3. she attacking mccain like she did obama?

she can throw an honest kitchen sink at him. no need to lie against this opponent.

[emilyg]

21. You are pitiful.

[goletian]

28. theres nothing pitiful about telling the truth. stop being a hack.

[Metric System]

35. Learn the difference between truth and opinion.

[goletian]

42. no need. i already know the difference.

[musicblind]

58. Then you should demonstrated it

you asked a question and your question was answered. When you did not like the answer because there was nothing in the answer to bash Hillary with... you changed the question.

That is hard evidence that you are not interested in the question asked in your OP. You are only interested in reliving the primaries and bashing Clinton.

[goletian]

65. its a legitimate question. if shes doing what she promised, itd be all over the msm.

[musicblind]

70. As it has been.

[specterderrida]

48. and stop throwing hateful flamebait. You are a pity. DU has had enough of that.

[goletian]

51. this isnt flamebait at all, but i can see why many of you would get so defensive.

[specterderrida]

56. Not flamebait you say. Ok--you are out of touch regarding what is going on

on the political front and are too lazy to find your own answers.

[Marrah_G]

57. It is flamebait- it is nasty- and frankly Obama would be ashamed of your behavior.

[goletian]

63. lol, i doubt obama would be ashamed of someone asking legitimate questions.

hillary isnt making the news much, other than for the vp pick.

[ronnykmarshall]

50. Amen.

[Arkansas Granny]

6. I would wager that her appearances on Obama's behalf are coordinated with

Obama's campaign. She has said that she will work to get him elected and has made appearances with Obama and for Obama already.

[Motown_Johnny]

19. 2 appearances for Obama. 4 fundraisers for Hillary... or is my count off?

I am counting Richardson's also

[Vattel]

18. get over it n/t

[elehhhhna]

9. & her husband? He's SUPER helpful lately, huh? What a "team".

Remember, there is no "I" in "TEAM"...but there IS a "ME".

[FreeState]

72. Gee thats funny - look at the email I just got from him today...

Dear XXX,

We are just 75 days away from a historic election where Democrats have the opportunity to take back the White House and win strong Democratic Majorities in Congress.

I've stood in the House chamber to deliver the State of the Union Address. I've looked out over that sea of faces - some friendly, others not - knowing how critical Congressional support for bold ideas and strong policies is for our future.

Believe me, the best thing we could do to help Barack Obama when he is president is to elect more change-oriented Democrats to Congress on November 4th.

You can start your personal role today by contributing to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC)'s Denver to November campaign before their critical FEC reporting deadline August 31st and if you give today, your gift will be matched 2-to-1 by House Democrats. All eyes will be on fundraising totals after the Democratic Convention ends next week - Democrats have to make a strong showing for these final days from Denver to November.

Contribute $15, $25 or more to our Denver to November campaign and your gift will be matched 2-to-1 by House Democrats.

We must never underestimate the commitment of the hard-core Republican operatives who will come after our candidates. Republican attack groups - even one led by people like Tom DeLay, and another advised by Karl Rove - are prepared to spend nearly $250 million to defeat Democrats.

We know they will attack our candidates with everything they've got, so we urgently need your support before the August 31st deadline. There is no time to wait.

Contribute $15, $25 or more to our Denver to November campaign and your gift will be matched 2-to-1 by House Democrats.

Thank you again for all of your hard work during this high-stakes election. I am counting on you to help pull us through to victory.

Sincerely,


Bill Clinton

P.S. You and I know we cannot let the Republicans and John McCain succeed at giving this country another Bush third term. That's why we need your urgent contribution before our FEC reporting deadline August 31st - we must show we have the resources to fight back.

(granted I doubt this will stop your unnecessary party dividing distain for the former President.)

[msongs]

12. slime hillary clinton day on DU nt

[goletian]

13. its considered sliming her to wonder if shes coming through? topsy turvy world.

you should be just as concerned about this instead of getting defensive.

[emilyg]

23. Your motives are always questionable.

[goletian]

27. attack the message or you have no argument. nt

[musicblind]

60. There is no need to attack the messenger. You have been thoroughly proven

beyond a shadow of a doubt to be incorrect regarding your assumption that she is not campaigning for Obama.

[goletian]

69. kinda hard to refute something that was never declared... snap out of it.

[ronnykmarshall]

52. They're pissed because there were so many pro-Hillary threads yesterday.

They've got to get their fix of Hillary attacks. It's like air and water to them.

[Autumn]

80. Isn't that any day

that ends with a Y?:argh:

[the_real_38]

14. It's Obama's responsibility to win this campaign ...

... he's slipping in the polls, and making excuses like 'the Clintons' isn't going to help things. McCain has gone on the offensive, and Obama's campaign is losing direction. They need to find it. Pronto. Starting with his convention speech - he needs to preach an agenda to match his 'hope-and-change' generalities.

He's got to make the right choice for VP, and he has to use the convention as a turning point. And like it or not, he needs to stop his pensive stammering and start ripping out some sound bites. American presidential politics has a 'bumper sticker' factor that can't just be dismissed.

[Whisp]

37. gee, I wonder if his numbers would be a tad better if...

he wsn't fighting the Repugs, the midea AND the Clintons.

if the saying is true: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, he's going to come out of this as Zeus.

[Beacool]

73. Yeah, I guess that they expect the Clintons to carry him on their shoulders to the finish line.

Whether he wins or loses, it all depends on Obama. Don't be pointing fingers at others.

[goletian]

76. lol, expecting her to support as promised = expecting her to lead helpless obama to victory?

lol. wow. you guys need a reality check.

[David Zephyr]

15. Yes, she is. In fact, she's the ONLY potential VP who's on the road for McCain.

That "middle aged woman" is out working the crowds (New Mexico with Bill Richadson earlier this week) and living out of a suitcase on behalf of Obama.

This Obama fan and supporter throughout the primaries is amazed at how little respect she gets for it. That's sad.

[Chloroplast]

24. "In fact, she's the ONLY potential VP who's on the road for McCain." Oh, really?

:rofl:

[Marrah_G]

26. err typo????????????

[Beausoir]

16. Does Obama need Clinton?

[goletian]

29. no, but every little bit help. plus, hillary can salvage her reputation by keeping her word.

[Beausoir]

31. Bullshit.

Either he needs her or he doesn't. Pick one.

[goletian]

40. im afraid thats a false dichotomy. when bush said, youre either with us or with the terrorists...

which did you pick? lol

[Beacool]

33. Hillary does not "need to salvage her reputation".

Her reputation is intact with millions of people. Although, the party's reputation is another story altogether.

[goletian]

41. oh, she does. trust me. nt

[StevieM]

45. All this talk about Hillary needing to "salvage" and "earn forgiveness" is silly and weird (eom)

[Marrah_G]

46. Trust you? Nah sorry, you are more interested in hating Hillary then helping Obama.

I wonder why that is.

[goletian]

49. im interested in seeing hillary support obama like she said she would. so far...

shes not making many waves.

[Marrah_G]

53. No- Your posts here have made it clear you have a need to smear Hillary, no matter what she does.

Your posts are very transparent. Even when proven wrong you are still grasping for things to attack her with. As someone mentioned up thread: If she gave Obama a kidney it still would not be enough for you.

So did you come to DU in march to support our nominee or are you just here to start fights and prolong division?

[goletian]

61. i cant be proven wrong when asking a question. i made no declaration. number one...

number two, i havent heard much of anything on hillary in the news, so she must not be calling much attention to herself. she was good at it in the primaries, though -- curious. other than "hillary must be vp," shes not mentioned much. i support our nominee, and i expect hillary to do the same. and for the hillary patrol to stop being so defensive and also do the same.

[Marrah_G]

66. FFS

You know what you were doing with this post, the rest of us know what you were doing.

I don't know why I even attempted to converse with you.

Off to ignore land you go with the rest of the little {edit} who insist on trying to stir up more divisive {edit} on this site.

I am looking forward to Nov 5th.

[goletian]

67. yeah, asking questions. are questions on why obama isnt hitting back hard enough met with the same

hostility? lol, no. get over yourself.

[ronnykmarshall]

55. Trust YOU?

No thanks.

[musicblind]

62. Only with you and a select few who frequent DU n/t

[StevieM]

44. My sentiments (expressed in the below post) exactly. The self-righteousness is astounding (eom)

[JVS]

75. au contraire

[StevieM]

43. There is nothing to salvage. Her reputation is sterling. That narative is just wishful, hateful

thinking by hard-core Obamites who wish that Hillary was as "disgraced" as they gleefully proclaim her to be. That's why so many Clinton-haters are really against her being given such prominence at the Convention--it repudiates their silly narrative about how she is a shamed figure within the party and she needs to work hard to earn "forgiveness and redemption." What a bunch of self-righteous, self-serving dribble.

Steve

[moriah]

17. She has been, I heard a wonderful speech on Potus 08 from her in Vegas.

I posted about it, of course, but it didn't look like it got many views. It's not all that interesting to hear that she slammed McCain and endorsed Barack.

One of her best lines, I thought, in that speech:

"When we elect Barack Obama President of the United States, we will have a competent government, and a caring President. How's THAT for a change?"

[highplainsdem]

20. Yes, she is. The media has covered it, topics have been posted here, and you missed them.

Not that they tend to stay on page 1 of GDP very long when it's so much more fun for the Clinton haters to let them drop and post topics bashing the Clintons instead.

[goletian]

30. im surprised the media hasnt sensationalized her support. is she hitting mccain hard?

[PresidentObama]

22. You must not be paying attention. It's ok, a lot of DUers aren't n/t

[Thrill]

32. Shes not a passionate surrogate for him. No need for any of us to act like she is or has been

[Beacool]

74. So???

She's doing what she's been asked to do and done it effectively. She'll go wherever the campaign sends her. That should suffice.

[BklynChick]

34. I don't see her "working her heart out for him" like she promised. No, I don't see that at all.

The statement that Obama needs her is just insulting. There have been maybe 2-3 appearances which I've read about it in the MSM and here.

[ronnykmarshall]

59. Nothing would satisfy you.

She could donate a fucking kidney and you'll still complain.

[thewiseguy]

36. While most of you are sitting on your asses and sliming her, Hillary is in FL today

Campaigning for Barack Obama.



* 10:00 am
* Hillary Clinton addresses the Sheet Metal Workers at Disney Contemporary Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida



* 1:30 pm
* Hillary Clinton attends a Palm Beach County rally for Barack Obama in Boca Raton, Florida



* 4:00 pm
* Hillary Clinton attends a Broward County event for Barack Obama at the Palace Theatre for the Performing Arts in Tamarac, Florida

[Lucinda]

38. AND she's doing it the day after a good friend has died.

This place is so stupid sometimes.

[Major Hogwash]

39. *crickets*

The loud chirping sound of crickets.

For 2 and a half whole months.

Wow, I'm so impressed, NOT!!

[musicblind]

64. You obviously need a hearing aid n/t

[moriah]

78. I responded to this thread with what I have seen and heard.

You're allowed to hate her. That's fine with me.

But overlooking those who have responded to the question honestly and sincerely is not being honest with yourself.

Or am I on your ignore list?

[specterderrida]

47. You need to listen more.

[maddiejoan]

68. They have Google now

You should use that.

[greguganus]

71. She's on a secret campaign mission for Obama. Loose lips can incite sniper fire. Shhhh. n/t

[Whisp]

77. I guess she's already work her tiny little wizened war loving heart out. ?

:shrug:

that shouldn't have taken long.

[Jakes Progress]

79. Posts like yours are

what they show karl rove at breakfast every day to cheer him up.

This is silly, petty, pointless, and counter productive to helping Obama get elected. But, of course, you had a itty tantrum to pitch. it is so important that you get your ego massaged. Tell us just how you think writing this crap will help get Obama elected. You do want that, don't you?
