Thank you, Rachel Maddow: "That's what you say when you want to be McCain's VP"

[writes3000]

"That's NOT what you say when you want to become the Democratic nominee for President."

Thank you for calling out Hillary Clinton.

As KO said in response, "unbelievable".

[LSparkle]

1. I was just going to post this -- the look on Rachel's face said it all

DISGUSTED.

If there weren't election coverage on tomorrow night, it almost looks like KO's ready to make a "Special Comment" about Mrs. Clinton's deplorable remarks.

[writes3000]

16. I have expected

Hillary to make "Worst Persons in the World."

She certainly deserved to make "Worst Dem".

[midora]

38. McCain/Clinton '08!

Talk about a dream ticket! The fightin'man and the hatchet woman! Just stay out of their damn way!

[Mme. Defarge]

43. She could pick right up

where Dick left off.

[midora]

39. McCain/Clinton '08!

Talk about a dream ticket! The fightin'man and the hatchet woman! Just stay out of their damn way!

[TexasObserver]

2. She nailed it!!

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

4. Wouldn't a comment like Clinton made get you the boot from DU?

[TexasObserver]

7. I think anyone saying such a thing should be presumed a Republican.

[sniffa]

3. Just saw that

K&R

[grantcart]

5. its great but we got 2 threads on this

[mmonk]

6. Yes.

And I'm rather disturbed about it. She is correct.

[iilana X]

8. Hillary Clinton has some splaining to do....

to the DNC.

And let's hope this has not escaped the notice of those Super Delegates. I believe they were brought into existence for just such a circumstance as this: to curtail the nomination of someone who is a disgrace to the party.

[Medusa]

21. Hillary and the Clintonistas can't stand Dean or the DNC

they make their own rules, unfortunately. Win at all costs, and if they can't win, they're going to make damn sure they torepedo Obama's chances of winning now or forever. So Democratic of them don't you think?

[mucifer]

9. DOCTOR Maddow is a Rhodes Scholar in political science

the first out lesbian to do this. :)

[Tatiana]

10. They both had a moment where they looked at each other, speechless.

All Keith could say was "unbelievable." Rachel just seemed so hurt and so sad.

Her expression really got me.

[writes3000]

11. Yep, it was pure disappointment with some distaste as well.

You couldn't miss it.

[blm]

13. The moment any of us Dems realize that Clintons betrayed us, does hurt and IS sad.

And then you get angry - and want it to STOP.

19. Hell, I've been there and done that back in 2004.

After 2000, I had a strong suspicion that personal ambition and goals were of more value than the will of the people or the Democratic party. But after 2004, I was convinced.

Even then, I never thought there was anything wrong with personal ambition. After all, you need a healthy dose of it to be a politician. But the politics of personal destruction have really soured me on the Clintons and Hillary Clinton in particular. Even Bill seemed willing to concede that if Hillary did not win both Ohio and Texas, that the campaign should be over. But Hillary herself could lose another 4 straight and she would still soldier on, because if there is the slightest chance she could win, who cares if the Democratic party is torn apart? Who cares if we leave millions of new voters willing to join the Democratic party behind? Who cares about what's right?

That's the difference between Hillary Clinton and Al Gore or John Kerry. You might have disagreed with certain strategic decisions made by Gore or Kerry, but you certainly respected them and knew that they had the interests of the American people and this country at heart.

[stillcool]

25. thanks for the links...

it seems like I can never have too many!:hi: editing to add, that youtube one is ugh...telling.

[blm]

29. That right there was a CHARACTER moment.

.

[maddiejoan]

12. Rachel has turned into a hack

and she is misrepresenting what Hillary said.

[writes3000]

15. What part of Obama has no experience beyond a speech Maddow misrepresent? n/t

[maddiejoan]

18. This part

Hillary Clinton told reporters that both she and the presumtive Republican nominee John McCain offer the experience to be ready to tackle any crisis facing the country under their watch, but Barack Obama simply offers more rhetoric. "I think you'll be able to imagine many things Senator McCain will be able to say," she said. "He’s never been the president, but he will put forth his lifetime of experience. I will put forth my lifetime of experience. Senator Obama will put forth a speech he made in 2002."

[Chulanowa]

20. Yeah, read past the bolded part.

"I have experience. McCain has experience. Obama has a six year-old speech"

VP for McCain my ass, this is what you say when you're aiming to win the GOP primary.

[maddiejoan]

23. uh huh

right.

:eyes:

[Chulanowa]

27. It's right there in the selection you provided

Emoticons aren't going to change what was said.

[maddiejoan]

28. What's your point?

She's right?

:shrug:

[johnnydrama]

30. did she mention

that everything in Obama's 2002 speech was right, and everything she and McCain said were wrong?

[maddiejoan]

35. I prefer Hillary Clintons IWR speech

in Oct of 2002.

[meow mix]

14. amazing how hillarys supporters will back her on mccain over obama

guess i shouldnt be suprised.

[Tribetime]

17. 2004 anbody but Bush

now its anybody but Clinton 2008 in my mind

[demo dutch]

22. Oh please, KO and Rachael are so bias they've been pissing on Hillary for weeks

It's like watching Fox for lefties

[writes3000]

24. Hillary SWORE that there would be a united Democratic party

How in the world will that be possible now that the REPUBLICANS have a tailor-made ad by HER against Obama?

[soleft]

40. KO maybe, Maddow has often taken up the mantle of defending Clinton

If only because no one else would.

[blm]

41. KO only started being tough on Hillary when she first played the 'fear' card. That's been a

specific peeve of his against Bush the last 6 years, but you want to blame him for being consistent and showing integrity for his views.

[demo dutch]

44. Intregrity my ass!

[blm]

45. KO has no integrity because he stands against the fear card when a GOP or a Dem plays it?

I think you need a crash course in journalistic ethics.

KO did EXACTLY what any honest talker does - he slams EITHER side for wrongs against the CITIZENS.

[demo dutch]

46. Spare me your journalistic ethics and honest talker nonsense. He has been neither for weeks now

it's the furthest from a balanced report by any stretch of the imagination!

[blm]

47. Hill shouldn't have tried playing that fear card. You like your Dems Rovelike - many of us don't.

Spare us YOUR desire for another decade of protection for BushInc from the Clintons.

[demo dutch]

48. Rove like Obama supporters more likely right here on DU. If the behavior of

you lot in term of divisiveness is any indication of what to come with a Obama presidency, than it will be another long 4 yrs. Hardly anything to look forward to. Quite frankly if this the caliber of sorry candidates the Dem party can come up with then we deserve to loose in 2008!

[Thrill]

26. How can any Hillary supporter, be happy with what Hillary said today?

And actually defend it? wow

[ChairmanAgnostic]

31. deliberate ignorance. heh, they probably

would hail the flat earth, should she ask it.

[meow mix]

42. shamefully deliberate

and they say were the cult..

[rodeodance]

32. I will . and Rachel is wrong. as is KO. so stuff it.

[tabasco]

33. I've been watching politics and voting Democratic for 30 plus years.

Hillary's snuggling up with the republicans turned me off a long time ago. Her McCain statement is positively disgusting.
Probably the lowest, scummiest comment I have ever seen in a Democratic primary.

[easy_b94]

34. Thanks for your comment RM.....it had to be said.

[meow mix]

36. k&r

[JBoy]

37. Hillary needs to recognize that Obama WILL be the nominee

LEAD;
FOLLOW; or
GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY
