NBC just had an awesome story on the Obama 'scandal'

[GarbagemanLB]

They showed his 'plagiarism', then talked about 'glass houses' and cut to Hillary speaking at an event copying word for word something Bill said two years earlier. :rofl: :rofl:

[Mme. Defarge]

1. They are so going to wish

they had never gone down this path.

[Glimmer of Hope]

I am thinking so too.

[ShortnFiery]

5. Yes, Mme. Defarge, we have much catching up to do on our knitting.

:evilgrin:

[FrenchieCat]

6. That's what I'm thinking!

[Renew Deal]

8. Now we know Hillary has plagiarized against Edwards, Carter, Howard Dean, and Bill Clinton

22. I can't believe they opened this can of worms. nt

[Cha]

25. Tone deaf I tell ya..and wandering over

into Stupid.

34. People do stupid things when they are trying too hard. n/t

21. Riiiiiiiiiiiight...everybody is scared to death of

getting the big attack dog unleashed on their ass. :scared: :scared:

[TexasObserver]

29. And that is why Oliphant is one of the top ten political cartoonists in the world.

True. Insightful. Acerbic. Funny.

[Cha]

32. I'm so glad I was turned onto him

by a DUer and have a direct line to his repertoire.

[Whisp]

36. ahem, check out the name on the ship.

or am I imagining things?
that plume of smoke is there for a purpose, perhaps?
ack.

[meow mix]

37. another bad move,,

team clinton is a p.o.s.

[casus belli]

40. She didn't actually say it...that's the rub.

If it backfires, someone resigns and she claims that their comments don't reflect her own ideas. Kind of like the drug use and "middle name = Hussein" tactics that never won any traction.

[BeyondGeography]

2. Somewhere in the deep dark recesses of their minds Hillaryworld knows they're paying for ShusterGate

Even if I agree with NBC's take on this, who could blame them for sticking it to the Clinton campaign?

[thunder rising]

9. whispering ... I agree, Hill screwed up.

[Kahuna]

15. Yep. They shouldn't expect any favors from the media (other than CNN)

after Shuster-Gate. :applause:

[Mme. Defarge]

17. And to that one can only say ...

touché!

[Medusa]

26. I don't even think they have that much self-awareness

they aren't half as clever as they seem to think they are.

[madrchsod]

28. never thought of that....opps..they should have spoke softly......

and carried a big stick.........

[Cha]

30. Really? m$$m doesn't like

to be bullied? Had enough of the bushite tactics have they?

[Bicoastal]

3. Oh, yeah?....well...everyone knows that NBC stands for "We Bash Clintons!"

Except with an N...instead of a W...so...

uh...

Screw NBC!

[thunder rising]

4. "Good artists borrow, great artists steal." Picasso and/or T.S. Eliot

Get over it!!

[NYCGirl]

19. Here's a good one from Al Giordano of "The Field". As Woody Guthrie said

when asked about Bob Dylan, "oh, sure, he steals from me, but that’s okay because I steal from everybody!”

[Voice for Peace]

41. How about George Harrison's "I hope I wrote this song"

after he was successfully sued for stealing the music for "my sweet lord"

[knowledgeispwr]

7. I actually used that expression on some other thread I think...

that "those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."

Really, with the comments coming out the Clinton campaign lately, it's almost as if they were trying to lose.

[Tarheel_Dem]

10. LOL....

I don't know why they just don't quit. They are still trying to run a 90's campaign. The Obama camp is running a 21st century campaign. With YouTube, Google, and the 24/7 news media it is way too easy to rebut these foolish allegations. And unfortunately, the mudslinger winds up with their own face muddy.

Too funny. She just got the smackdown on Keith Olbermann as well.

[my3boyz]

11. Oh man...I missed it!!! Thanks for posting the info!!

:rofl:

[Scurrilous]

12. HAH!

:thumbsup:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

13. Oh, oh. I doubt that was supposed to happen.

I wish I'd seen it. I've not seen anything on television about this yet and I was wondering how this was going go over.

[loveangelc]

14. NBC news? haha wow.

[Cha]

31. Exactly!

Oh boy!

[dcindian]

16. Hey if she has to plagiarize 35 years of experience somewhere

I would bet there are only a few different political styles. Following those few styles leads to rampant reuse of material. Except Clinton has brought it to whole new level where she actually plagiarizes someone else's career and calls it her own.

[tishaLA]

18. But let's be truthful....it doesn't matter if Clinton looks bad

people EXPECT it of her. Their whole scheme is to sully Obama's integrity so it makes it appear that voting for Obama is not much different than voting for Clinton.

That's the whole idea behind them creating this scandal.

[poomie123]

20. Is he what we've been thinking he is?

Or is he a slickster, a used car salesman type?

I'm beginning to wonder.

[Adelante]

23. Welcome to DU, poomie123

:hi:

[Yael]

24. Welcome to DU!

Suggestion -- get the lay of the land. Don't start off by jumping into a support thread and pissing on it.

:hi:

[eShirl]

27. you're beginning to wonder, huh?

bye bye

[Imagevision]

33. In the catagory of; "and what story will you be talikng about tomorrow" yaaaawnnn.....!

[meow mix]

[Arugula Latte]
