As much as a delight in Obama's success I take no delight in Hillary's demise. . .

[wndycty]

. . .the Clinton's have pissed me off as of late but I'm still in their corner. I'm glad Obama is taking off and hope he runs away with this, HOWEVER the folks taking pot shots at the Clinton's are pissing me off. Folks, I'm pulling for Obama but she can still very well be our nominee.

[Occam Bandage]

1. Absolutely. I have nothing but respect for Clinton and her campaign.

[wndycty]

2. I respect her and her candidacy, I have no respect for her campaign though

:kick:

[thepurpose]

7. I have to agree. Her staff sucks. She and Bill need to fire the assholes and take over.

[Occam Bandage]

9. They do dirty things. It's all business.

In Presidential politics, nihil sanctum est. Her camp's fallen apart as of late, but it was pretty smart through most the campaign.

[mathewsleep]

31. amen!

or rather what ever the atheist version of that would be.

[KennedyGuy]

3. Great to hear..

Gives one hope after all..thanks.

[Joe the Revelator]

4. Some of us feel passionately about Hillary

Some are for her.

I am not. I think that she's just as dangerous to the future of our country as another 4 years of Bush would be. Am I wrong? Maybe so, maybe not, but I'm not going to start supporting her, or wishing her well because of a few alligator tears.

Thats exactly what she's hoping for.

[Honeycombe8]

5. Ditto. Although..she ain't dead, yet. I don't hear a fat lady singing. nt

[thepurpose]

6. Agreed. It makes me sad really. I think she would make a terrific president.

[BluegrassDem]

8. I don't have respect for her campaign with people like Penn and Shaheen

She has run nothing but a dirty, low down campaign. And people supporting her have been involved with some nasty push polling in Iowa. So I do delight in her campaign's self-destruction.

[Beausoir]

14. But, of course, you DO respect Obama's gay-bashing headliner Donnie McClurkin! Yeah. I thought so.

[parasim]

19. and, of course, you DO respect Clinton's low and dirty campaign. Yeah I thought so.

I'm kidding.

I just think that the technique of asking a question and then immediately following it with "Yeah, I thought so!" is so fucking immature.

[Beausoir]

21. Do you respect Obama's hiring of Donnie McClurkin? Just curious.

You can dodge the question or answer it.

[parasim]

28. No, I don't respect the hiring of the guy.

But then again, I think every candidate has done something that I don't respect (I'd have to dig pretty deep to find something Kucinich has done that I disrespect, though). They are politicians, after all.

Although I was pretty satisfied with Obama's response when he asked about the McClurkin thing.

[Beausoir]

29. I was NOT satisfied with Obama's non-denial-denial about the gay-basher he hired. I do agree with

you about Kucinich.

He is the candidate who most represents me.

[magatte]

34. Stop lying and Slandering - It is amazing the lack of INTEGRITY

He answered AGES ago - as in in October right after that event...

Obama being asked about Donnie McClurkin:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIQLwe-MmxY&eurl#

Original Poster: It is lies and slander to say that Obama never responed.

You are supposed to be FOR something right. And you stoop to bold-faced INFLAMATIVE lying.

Sad. Depressing.

[sandnsea]

32. I don't respect her campaign or her experience

the whole shitpot stinks to high heaven and leaves me wondering if anybody in this country knows what integrity is. How anybody can say they respect the Clintons after the vulgar campaign they have run is beyond me,

[Beausoir]

10. Rumors of her demise are greatly exaggerated.

[Cha]

11. hillary is pot shooting herself

all to hell.

[stray cat]

12. She isn't my first choice but I would certainly get behind her if

she were the nominee. I think she is competent and would be a much better president than any in the repub camp.

[napi21]

13. The media always tracks ofter the one they think is currently winning

and trashes everyone else. Barack very well might run away with this nomination, but it's no certainty! I don't think Edwards is washed up either. I watched so damn many shows tonight I can't remember which one had the conversation that there has only been ONE caucus so far, and big whoop, by
Wed there will have been a total TWO! One very slightly populated state, and one very small one! Sit back...take a deep breath...and let's let the primaries play out.

[rufus dog]

15. I agree with you!

And to be clear since I just tore into some Clinton supporters. Her demise does not give you free reign to bash on Obama blaming her demise on the media and insinuating Obama is naive for not seeing what is around the corner.

[quinnox]

16. Shows not all Obama supporters have bad reputation

There are a few Obama supporters here who I respect and they always are positive about their candidate while not being overly nasty and freeperish towards other candidates. Recommended.

[rodeodance]

17. i will stick with Hil

[Double T]

18. I wish someone had let US know that Obama had his coronation..........

and already picked out furniture and drapes for the Oval Office. It's NOT over till the ALL the VOTERS decide. It is NICE to know there are so many supporters here on DU of the Patriot Act which is so damn progressive.

[wndycty]

24. You know this thread is about paying respect to Clinton, not an excuse for folks to bash Obama. . .

. . .and as for the coronation the same could have been said about Clinton. Let's not make this thread a pissing match and keep it positive. There is a lot of bandwith being wasted on negativity lets leave this thread alone.

[Double T]

25. As long as Obama gets 90% of the corporate MSM coverage........

and 100% of the RW rethug neocon endorsements from ALL the BIG NAME NEOCON pundits you're going to have a pissing match. Obama has some serious issues that are inconsistent with being a progressive and it is interesting so many are willing to look past IT!

[wndycty]

26. Well go start your own thread. . .

. . .I don't think you realize a significant source of the animosity on the DU is from actions like you just took. As an Obama supporter I post a thread out of respect for Hillary yet you want to come in here and start shit.

[Double T]

27. FACTS aren't 'shit'.

[Colobo]

20. Hillary Clinton has been and will continue being a great public servant.

She deserves our respect in that regard.

[countmyvote4real]

22. I wouldn't count her out yet. n/t

[CyberPieHole]

23. Very good post...

:kick: and recommend

[soothsayer]

30. oh, brother. Iowa can pick corn but they can't pick presidents, isn't that the wisdom?

[hayu_lol]

33. For much of Obama's background, there are problems that so far have ...

gotten a pass from the media and his own supporters. Should Hillary and John quit...the spotlight will be focused on him.

Please note that the Repugs will also get a pass.

Looks like Obama will get NH. If he does, he probably will take SC. I feel that Hillary may up and quit with 3 losses in a row. Edwards may squirm, but will not do well in further primaries.

Is Obama secure enough to take the onslaught from the media?
