What is up with all of this "shrill" business?

[Barack_America]

I was out volunteering all day, can anyone catch me up to speed?

This entire board has exploded and I can't make heads or tails of anything.

Much appreciated.

P.S. I took a great video of Kal Penn and Margaret Cho speaking to Philly-area students about supporting Barack. Kal Penn in particular has been working his ass off for Obama and has an amazing perspective. I'll try to get the video up soon for y'all to experience!

1. Hillary said some, uh, Un Presidential things at an Ohio rally

this afternoon. I leave to you to find one of the half dozen video links in the political videos forum.

And you can draw your own conclusions.

Shrill is not a word that I would use to describe it. Angry, yes, Odd, yes, Un Presidential, YES. But not shrill.

2. Sorry, I saw the word "shrill" in about 10 thread titles here.

I'll search out those videos now that I know what I'm looking for.

Thanks! :hi:

Apparently Obama campaign sent out two fliers, one on NAFTA and one on Health Care.

the one on health care seems to have offended Hillary.

The fuss is about this:

Hillary speaking to a bunch of reporters today said "Shame on you Barack" or some such thing.

5. Oh look at the looks on their

"yeah right, hilary" faces!

[Barack_America]

7. Lol! My thoughts exactly!

They look shocked, I tell you, SHOCKED!

Every time I think that her campaign can't sink any lower, they find new ways to disappoint me.

:thumbsdown:

11. They find new ways to

showcase the thoughts we New Yorkers had about hilary, in Oct 2002, were not wrong.

6. wow

she looks really short in that photo.

8. Hey Yael...

I'll hopefully get it up soon, but I'll probably have to make it protected for a while. We had a really open and honest discussion about many topics including some that have been *touchy* around here. Some of the official campaign people spoke to one issue in particular, so I want to clear making the video public with them, considering they're on camera and all.

But I'll be sure to PM you so you can see it! :hi:

9. Much appreciated!

10. In the video she makes it appear that she is at a rally event

trying to whip up the crowd.

I think she even says "Somebody just gave me these two fliers..." like she was at a meet and greet and just accidentally saw these for the first time... and she is outraged at the Obama campaign.

But from this photo, it's all for the press, hell, the press is all that is there. No crowds, just reporters. Absolutely no reason to be "outraged"... in fact, I suspect she knew about those fliers for some time now.

Staged? I tend to believe it is likely.

12. I jumped on that pic like flies on shit when I saw it

Puts it in a whole different light, doesn't it?

13. Yeah - like pulling the curtain aside and seeing who the Wizard of Oz really is...

She's sinking and needed to create an Obama Drama. Voila!
