I'm an Edwards fan, but I'm LIVID about what they're doing to Hillary
on TV right now.

She speaks, I believe, from the heart about caring what happens to America's future.. and she gets a little emotional.

And the right wing wurlitzer POUNCES.. "She's on her last legs!", "The campaign is in trouble!", " She's exhausted!". . All of them dancing around chanting "Die, Hillary, DIE"

(Of course none of them note that Edwards statement that he "takes it personally" has been part of his regular speeches for months)

But this piling on would be funny if it wasn't so destructive.

1. I expect it from the MSM, butr when it comes from other liberals,
it pisses me off. If it keeps up I'll vote for her out of protest.

2. Thanks annabana fo fanna
The media must read DU because it's the #1 "taking" point around this trap today.

Makes you feel SO warm and excited about all this "change" and "hope" that's being flung around here.

5. Yep. People must be willing to change, not expect others to change things for them.

Democrats acting like Republicans, and expecting Democratic results...sigh.

Edit: Then again, that's what I saw Hillary doing to Obama in the debates a few nights ago...

6. Cali, I think many have kept quite for far too long and they have reached the breaking point.
Unfortunately, it's a dollar short and a day late.

4. This election has proved to me that we as women haven't come all that far.
I'm so very sad.

8. It's wrong, I agree.
Makes me wonder when Obama will fall out of favor with the pundits and end up with these jackals at his throat.

10. It's nothing new, unfortunately
The Inevitable Big Ed Muskie was DOA after he got "water in his eye" in NH in 1972. History does repeat itself, it seems.

12. The crying was orchestrated, like everything the Clintons do.
She's no more capable of spontaneous emotion than Spock. This was planned, and it backfired, so now the Hillbot Spin Factory is in overdrive.

15. Its a double edged sword, HRC always had the majority of msm attention
first (for her benefit) they convinced many that she would be the inevitable Democratic Nominee. Now the msm honor with that same attention, EXCEPT, the are in the slicing and dicing mode.
