Apparently he is "a great fan who admires the senator's tremendous accomplishments."

Oh lord.

1. I thought you could not blame somebody for his/her supporters?

Double standards again (I have not read the thread. Anything you post about Obama has no interest for me).

[Bullet1987]

5. This is not Nazi Germany

so Mayweather can't say he likes Obama now? How low will people go to trash someone? Should he be banned from showing up to show his support...geez.

[Mass]

7. I am sure Hillary makes sure that no supporters is a convicted felon as well

:sarcasm:

[Clintonista2]

10. Okie, so Murdoch "supporting" Hillary is off-limits now?

Good to know.

[incapsulated]

2. He is a supporter attending an event

It's not a crime to come to a campaign event.

He isn't there because Obama asked him to come.

Enough already.

[bigdarryl]

3. well Bill Clinton is a serial adultery so should Hillary be scrutinized for...

having her husband campaign for her.

[IndianaJones]

18. lol. nt.

[OKNancy]

9. Was Dancing With The Stars notified ?

They didn't get the memo...huh ?

[MannyGoldstein]

11. Bill Clinton Loved Torture, And He Attends Many Of Hillary's Events

So what's your point?

[incapsulated]

21. And you're no better. n/t

[hedgehog]

12. When Floyd Merriweather is as powerful as Rupert Murdoch,

the I will worry about him.

[Clintonista2]

15. So a persons character doesn't matter to you?

Only their status?

[Ethelk2044]

26. HIllary - HSU Character? WOW Vince Foster?

[Clintonista2]

32. Obama- McClurkin? Maywather? WOW! nt.

[hedgehog]

27. If you want to talk character, why are you calling Mayweather

a convicted wife beater? He was charged but aquitted.

[ShortnFiery]

13. This is some sick stuff. I'm disgusted with SOME people's shameless tactics. n/t

[LadyAziz]

14. Wow

what a stupid post. It's funny I've never hated Hillary as much but these days I can't stand her and her supporters. If her last name wasn't Clinton she would be nothing.

[Clintonista2]

16. Wrong.

[LadyAziz]

19. It's damn well true

She out of all the Dem candidates is more recognized because she is "Bill's wife".

[Clintonista2]

20. Hillary was well on her way politically before she met Bill

[Ethelk2044]

24. the hell she was. No one knew her. Bill is pulling strings in the background to get

people to back her even now.

[Clintonista2]

28. No one knew her?

She was featured in Life magazine while still in college. From Wikipedia:

During her post-graduate study, Rodham served as staff attorney for Edelman's newly-founded Children's Defense Fund in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and as a consultant to the Carnegie Council on Children. During 1974 she was a member of the impeachment inquiry staff in Washington, D.C., advising the House Committee on the Judiciary during the Watergate scandal.Under the guidance of Chief Counsel John Doar and senior member Bernard Nussbaum, Rodham helped research procedures of impeachment and the historical grounds and standards for impeachment. The committee's work culminated in the resignation of President Richard Nixon in August 1974.

By then, Rodham was viewed as someone with a bright political future; Democratic political organizer and consultant Betsey Wright had moved from Texas to Washington the previous year to help guide her career; Wright thought Rodham had the potential to one day become a Senator or President. Meanwhile, Clinton had repeatedly asked her to marry him, and she had continued to defer. However, helped by her having passed the Arkansas but not the District of Columbia bar exam on her first attempt, Rodham came to a key decision. As she later wrote, "I chose to follow my heart instead of my head." She thus followed Bill Clinton to Arkansas, rather than staying in Washington where career prospects were best. Clinton was at the time teaching law and running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in his home state. In August 1974, she moved to Fayetteville, Arkansas, and became one of two female faculty members at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville School of Law, where Bill Clinton also taught. Even then, she still harbored doubts about marriage, concerned that her separate identity would be lost and her accomplishments would be viewed in the light of someone else's accomplishments.

29. She needs him to pull in supporters

I adore Bill but I have no respect for Hillary.

[cali]

23. bullshit.

you may hate her, but that's just garbage. She landed on the cover of a major news magazine before she even met bill.

[LadyAziz]

30. Still

A lot of people vote will on name recognition.

[cali]

33. sure, but that's different than

saying she'd be nobody without bill. I doubt that very, very much.

[Kermitt Gribble]

17. Better start

checking everyone attending campaign events for past DUI's while you're at it.
This crap has got to stop - for every candidate.

[BeyondGeography]

22. You're becoming the poor man's Draft Mario Cuomo

"poor man" as in even lamer.

[Clintonista2]

31. What does that make you?

The "poor mans" Illinoisprogressive?

[BeyondGeography]

34. Where's Lirwin1?

I need to talk to him about his successor.

[DURHAM D]

25. I am a Clinton supporter.

However, I think it is time to knock it off.

[calteacherguy]

35. Good. We need to reach out to everyone. nt
