Congratulations Shrillary-bots. You cost a woman her job because she called your Princess a name.

[backscatter712]

Are you happy now?

Your cult couldn't tolerate name-calling towards your charismatic leader.

So you howled. You shrieked. You cried and whimpered.

Now Samantha Powers has resigned.

She's unemployed, in an increasingly fucked up economy.

Hopefully, she'll have enough contacts and leads in her network to land on her feet, but you never know.

Is that what it comes down to? Destroying people's livelihoods?

It's people like you, who consider ruining people's lives to be "good sport" who are destroying this country.

You can go back to your moment of Schadenfreude now.

Oh, and I would have promoted her. Hillary Clinton IS a monster. The truth stings, doesn't it?

[Coexist]

1. I hope this plays out that a great Democrat was hurt b/c Hill is a crybaby.

again.

[papau]

23. LOL - but I will miss her telling folks that Obama's out of Iraq was just campaign talk that he

would revisit after the election - which fits nicely with the economics adviser saying that Obama social program promises should not be a worry to CNBC's Kudlow since there'd be no impact on the budget as Obama did not intend/expect that they would pass.

Which all fit with a NAFTA meeting with Canada Obama saying I'll be lying about NAFTA - that was denied as ever taking place - until the memo surfaced and Obama was shown to be a liar - again.

[Coexist]

37. I'm sorry - what was that about NAFTA and Canada?!

:rofl:

[papau]

48. How quickly we forget about Obama lies about a meeting - until a memo surfaced - as we claim unnamed

sources prove otherwise.

Can't decide if "stupid" or "blind" is the right word. What do you think.

[Yes We Did]

123. And how soon you forget that it was Clinton's staff that started that lie.

[joeybee12]

131. And how quickly you lie because that was never proven...

...just a rumor and didn't get much media play because they saw it for the shit you morons keep promoting.

[susankh4]

141. No lie at all

Canada has confirmed... again and again... that they were contacted by Obama's camp and not Hillary's.

[hueyshort]

148. AMEN

they aren't gonna listen tho

Posted by rodeodance on Fri Mar-07-08 05:52 PM



Here's the official story, folks!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PMO: Canadian officials only got briefing from Obama campaign - not Clinton

6 hours ago

OTTAWA — Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton never gave Canada any secret assurances about the future of NAFTA such as those allegedly offered by Barack Obama's campaign, Prime Minister Stephen Harper's office said Friday.

With the NAFTA affair swirling over the U.S. election and Canadian officials skittish about saying anything else that might influence the race, it took the PMO two days to deliver the information.

After being asked whether Canadian officials asked for - or received - any briefings from a Clinton campaign representative outlining her plans on NAFTA, a spokeswoman for the prime minister offered a response Friday.

"The answer is no, they did not," said Harper spokeswoman Sandra Buckler. ...

So what took them so long to issue this confirmation of what the Clintons have been saying?

[rodeodance]

25. Obama took responsibilty for this. You can learn from him.

[niceypoo]

139. No shit...

She did it to herself.....Obamas supporters know it...

Obamites are simply bizarre....

[saracat]

45. Like Obama "whining' about the press"'costing" him Ohio and Texas?

[tridim]

50. Why isn't the "press" reporting that Obama WON Texas?

Obama shouldn't be whining (which he's not), he should be screaming. The media is covering up Obama's win.

[saracat]

62. Because he didn't "win" the primary?

[tridim]

65. He won the most delegates, the only number that matters at the convention.

[saracat]

66. But he didn't "WIN" the primary.

[tridim]

70. He didn't win the lottery either

He won the delegates.

[saracat]

69. And aren'y you guys the ones that take offense at delegates NOT fepresenting the popular vote?

Odd. If they go to Barack its acceptable? Double standard yet again.

[gort]

84. Because it is a race for the Party's nomination,

not a popularity contest.

The party has the right to act in it's own best interest. Hence, why some states have a caucus or a closed primary and award the delegates proportionately based on the results.

It is also to keep the opposing party from influencing the picking of the nominee. Some states have open primaries, good for them.

Democrats choose to award delegates based on percentages and Republicans play it winner-take-all.

How would you feel if the Democrats did the winner-take-all route?

Yea, the system sucks and there is something bad or unfair to piss everyone off.

Save the popularity contest for when it counts, The General Election.

[Seabiscuit]

85. Take the "s" off delegates, and you might have it right.

To date, Obama has 1 Texas delegate more than Clinton: 107 to 106.

Had it not been for Texas' totally fucked up combination primary/caucus system, Hillary would have picked up more delegates than Obama (based on the primary results, where she received 99,629 more votes than Obama).

[theredpen]

89. Don't mess with Texas

Do you live in Texas? No? Leave our fucking primary/caucus system alone. There are benefits to a primary and benefits to a caucus. We get both. Our caucuses were awesome this year. Go to the Texas forum and read about a party that's fire up for real — not just a bunch of screaming babies.

And the caucus results aren't all in. Obama will win by more than one delegate.

[Seabiscuit]

93. I'll mess with Texas all I want. Caucuses are thoroughly undemocratic, and I live in a democracy

(or at least what's left of it) so I have a right to speak out against Texas' undemocratic primary system. All caucuses do is reward the wealthiest candidates who can afford to put the most feet on the ground to twist voters' arms.

So screw you and screw Texas' fucked up primary/caucus system.

[tridim]

94. Hillary supporters could have attended the caucus for FREE

Why didn't they show up?

[Seabiscuit]

100. You deliberately miss the point in order to obfuscate.

Wealthy candidates can afford put more people on the ground to organize voters and get them to the caucuses.

You knew that. You know that. And yet, in typical Obamanoid fashion, you went into denial by changing the subject.

[tridim]

110. I went to my caucus because I care about my candidate.

Nobody told me to go. Keep making excuses if you want, it's the Clinton way.

Every informed voter in TX knows how their system works. Obama simply has more grassroots support.

[theredpen]

113. tridim, if Clinton supporters could be bothered to show up at caucuses...

...they would be the greatest thing since sliced bread. Since Obama is inspiring the grass roots, they are evil.

Please try to keep up with the oh-so-compelling arguments.

[theredpen]

114. Nobody twisted anyone's arms

"All caucuses do is reward the wealthiest candidates who can afford to put the most feet on the ground to twist voters' arms."

No one twisted my arm to go to a caucus. No one. Obama's "find your caucus" site couldn't even figure out where I was supposed to go. I had to look it on on State of Texas sites and that was a chore.

So I went, as did thousands of others. And when I was there, we voted (how undemocratic!!!!) for who would get the delegates from the caucus. Then we voted (again! what a terrible affront to democracy) for who the delegates would be.

I guess we're still not as great as the "recall vote" state.

[JuniperLea]

132. These primaries and such belong to all Americans...

Your outrage is sorely misplaced.

[splat]

68. 100k people caucusing doesn't negate 2.5 million voting

[tridim]

73. Fine, keep thinking that Hillary won TX. It doesn't change the fact that she didn't..

You can say anthing you want, but more Obama delegates will be seated in Denver.

[Seabiscuit]

104. You can say anything you want, but Hillary got 99,629 more votes than Obama. So she won

where the voters are concerned. The delegate count got distorted by the thoroughly undemocratic caucus held simultaneously with the primary voting.

[theredpen]

116. There were voters at the caucuses

They voted on further delegates and Clinton lost.

That means she lost the state.

Clinton's only hope to win the primary is in unpledged superdelegates. We'll see how dedicated to democracy her supporters are at the convention.

[Yes We Did]

124. Actually, Obama won Texas. And as far as whining... "Why do I get the first questions?"

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. Hey, c'mon.

If they cared about people's jobs they wouldn't be supporting Clinton.

[OhioChick]

4. Good Point. n/t

[Catherina]

154. Thank you n/t

[anonymous171]

3. Apparently it's "good politics"

[bigtree]

5. I never said a word about it.

generalize much? Wasn't this Obama's decision? He's responsible for his own actions, as is Powers.

[NightWatcher]

6. you are wrong, Hillary is no princess

she is the queen and Chelsea is the princess

[jillan]

7. Maybe she will think twice next time she wants to call someone a name.

[backscatter712]

15. TRIVIAL OFFENSES MUST BE DRACONIANLY PUNISHED!!!

RAWR!!! I'M THE AUTHORITARIAN!!! I GET MY JOLLIES BY PUNISHING PEOPLE! AFTER ALL, THEY BROKE RULES, SO THEY HAVE NO REASON TO COMPLAIN WHEN THEIR ENTIRE LIVES ARE RUINED!!!

[rodeodance]

21. Obama did what he thought best in the situation. Take you whin up with him.

[jillan]

28. Omg - you need to chill out.

[SammyWinstonJack]

75. No kidding!

:scared: Over the top. :hide:

[zarath]

44. Unwritten rules, at that

There is no actual rule that you cannot describe someone as a "monster".

[SoxFan]

59. OOOH! She called Hillary a name!

Maybe Howard Wolfson should convene a conference call and demand that Samantha Power be ordered to wirte "I will not be mean to Hillary" 100 times on the blackboard.

[Catherina]

156. Oh No, It's Lèse majesté! Off with her head!

If this is what Hillary brings in the Primaries, I can't wait to see the treats she has for us under a presidency. What next? Gulags for unflattering portraits of Her Majesty?

For Clinton supporters to dare accuse anyone of sexism is a mockery of justice. The howls of outrage against a really self-made woman who embodies real feminism for daring to call a spade a spade were breath-taking in their hypocrisy.

Lèse majesté

[tabatha]

8. She had to resign. As an Obama supporter you know

that he does not tolerate ad hominem attacks.

However, I still respect Samantha - she apologized.

[RunningFromCongress]

9. That's the Clinton MO, attack then play victim.

[rodeodance]

31. Take a good lesson from Obama. He did right. Now you blam HRC. shame on you.

[Shakespeare]

39. That's certainly the pattern she's establishing.

And I'm growing very, very weary of it. A little sickened by it, too. :puke:

[Howardx]

10. whaaaaa!

some parasite lost her host oh no!

[SammyWinstonJack]

76. ...

:spray:

[Seabiscuit]

96. here's a quick pic of barackscatterbrain712:

[stellanoir]

11. She was an unpaid advisor who is involved in all sorts of other pursuits.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samantha_Power

[wndycty]

12. She won't be unemployed for long, she still has a great job at Harvard. . .

. . .not to mention TIME Magazine, she will be fine.

[NeedleCast]

13. Bullshit

and I say that as an Obama supporter. If the roles had been reversed, if it had been a Clinton staffer calling Obama a monster, the rabid Obama campers would be throwing a fucking fit.

Get a grip.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

38. Thanks NeedleCast.

It's quite a bit of rending of garments there, isn't it?

[NeedleCast]

58. You can always count on someone at DU

to invoke Captain Hyperbole! I have my reasons for not voting for Hillary but none of them revolve around what some dumbass staffer did this one time at band camp, just as my support for Obama is not based on the occasional Hillary staffer doing something stupid. Personally I don't the that either candidate's supporters who post OPs like this are doing much to "support" their candidate. Way to many people at DU have elevated their particular pony to diefic levels (just like we did with Pelosi). Their future holds much disappointment and gnashed teeth.

[rodeodance]

14. I am glad Obama took responsilibity for this issue unlike the blaming of the OP. which is immature!

[Yossariant]

16. She was a vicious. vitriolic POS. She showed her true colors.

[MyNameGoesHere]

17. That's right never blame the person that said something dumb,

always lay the blame at the person that was the target of a dumb comment. YES YOU CAN!,, act like a republican.

[TheDebbieDee]

18. Obamacans shoudn't be so gullible.........

Powers KNEW what she said was going to be published. This is the Obama Campaign's way of taking a shot at Hillary while keeping Obama's hands clean.

Believe me, Ms. Powers resignation isn't worth the paper it's been written on. This was just another scene in the Obama Campaign charade. I'm sure there will be many more scenes to follow on both sides!

[The_Casual_Observer]

19. Oh, tough ass!

[Scurrilous]

They did it for the lady!

:thumbsup:

[dailykoff]

155. Ironic isn't?

Another proud principle tossed under the bus. I frankly don't get it. :shrug:

[2rth2pwr]

20. Obama's the one who threw her to the curb

The man has no compassion.

[ProSense]

22. Terry McAwful is trying to make money off the incident:

Monster money

You can always tell who's on offense in this campaign by who's playing the victim most aggressively in their fundraising emails -- a favored tactic for all political fundraisers.

Today, that would be Hillary. Terry McAuliffe emails supporters:

Dear ,

Just one day after Senator Obama promised to begin attacking Hillary, a senior Obama advisor has called her a "monster."

That's right -- a "monster."

At the same time, Senator Obama's aides have begun rehashing the old negative attacks of the 90's against Hillary.

This is not the politics of hope -- it's the usual attack style politics that we have seen time and time again.

And it must stop.

Only you can make that happen. A small contribution now -- even as little as $5 -- will show the Obama campaign that there is a price to this kind of attack politics.

Make a contribution to stop the Obama attacks.

[NeedleCast]

32. hehehehe

Hillary staffers complaining about Obama attacks are pretty funny

[Maven]

24. Wow you sound like a vicious little crybaby.

Go sit in the corner until you burn off some steam.

[dionysus]

40. sputters red-faced harvey, through his tears...

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Tom Rinaldo]

26. She was an unpaid advisor who never quit her day job. n/t

[DerekJ]

27. to be honest if the roles were reversed, you would have demanded her be fired too. NT

[SammyWinstonJack]

78. Indeed they would have.

[AlCzervik]

29. she quit teaching at Harvard---highly unlikely.

[Nite Owl]

30. Too bad Hillary

couldn't bring herself to ask Bush*/Cheney to resign. Seems like a name against her is much more of an offense than a destruction of our Constitution.

[Political Heretic]

33. Well, we can all be thankful you don't have any decision making powers in the O campaign.

Sorry, but you can say things in public that you can't say to the press. It was unprofessional, and Obama doesn't need a news cycle devoted to the story. Basic media communicaton 101 rule number one: there is no such thing as "off the record." Message discipline means you never say anything to a reporter that you don't expect to see in print. If she can't figure out that basic rule, the she should go ahead and stand aside.

[Fran Kubelik]

34. She was fired because people on DU howled and shrieked?

The power this board has. I had no idea.
Damn.
I am going to start posting more.



On edit: Do you all think you could work on getting me a raise next? Thanks in advance!

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

42. LOL.

DU's omnipotence in the world is greatly exaggerated.

:rofl: :rofl:

[SammyWinstonJack]

81. LOL!

:evilgrin:

[ronnykmarshall]

90. I didn't know we had that much POWER!!!

OK everyone!

I want The Supremes to get back together!

Get on that NOW!!

[Josiah1982]

35. Power is a POS and anyone who defends her is as well so EFF OFF eom

[dionysus]

41. oh noes!!! n00b needs banky!!!

[1776Forever]

36. Something to think about - We are all human!!! Or are we?? HRC supporters check this out!

It seems to me that if HRC supporters could admit that no one is perfect, and that like me, they all have said things that were regretted later and show some forgiveness it would be a virtue that would help to cut off some of their and HRC's sharp edges and make people see that by doing so they are all acting like mature, professional, and caring people.

:eyes:

[SeaLyons]

43. wow...Obama supporters

are completely nuts. Of course she lost her job!!!! She made a very inappropriate comment and OBAMA had to fire her. Hillary did nothing. Get it? OBAMA fired her because SHE said something inappropriate. End of story.

[Gormy Cuss]

49. Who made her mouth say those words? Puppeteer strings??

[NashVegas]

57. She Said This:

"We f***** up in Ohio," she admitted. "In Ohio, they are obsessed and Hillary is going to town on it, because she knows Ohio's the only place they can win.

"She is a monster, too – that is off the record – she is stooping to anything," Ms Power said, hastily trying to withdraw her remark.

"Interestingly, the people in her innermost circle seem to not mind her; I think they really love her."

But she added: "There is this middle circle – they are really on the warpath. But the truth is she has proved herself really willing to stoop."

In recent TV appearances Mrs Clinton had looked desperate and on the back foot.

Ms Power agreed, and said: "Here, it looks like desperation. I hope it looks like desperation there too.

"You just look at her and think: ergh. But if you are poor and she is telling you some story about how Obama is going to take your job away, maybe it will be more effective. The amount of deceit she has put forward is really unattractive."

That's the from the original story, which Google has taken out of their cache, where it was just 15 minutes ago.

Honest to god none of you have a clue about anything to do with politics do you?

[busymom]

61. Samantha Powers screwed up

She alone is responsible for her language, tenor and resignation.

[amborin]

63. blaming others for your misdeeds, again, failing to take responsibility

do you have any idea how pathological this is?

Samantha Powers commits a nasty deed and rather than hold her responsible for her loose mouth and viciousness, you try to blame others

incredible

and by the way, Powers is wealthy

do you know her Harvard salary?

over 100K per year

and book royalties, too!

[ingac70]

64. Hills folks can call Obama a drug dealer and that is ok....

But you better not dare call her names!

[rinsd]

67. Shaheen resigned from the campaign for that.

Robert Johnson had no position with the campaign to resign but the campaign made him issue an apology.

But telling lies for Obama is apparently "ok".

[ingac70]

74. Mark Penn repeated that shit...

and he's still there.

[rinsd]

79. Penn repeated what shit?

Yesterday on Hardball, the post-debate spin room included the top strategists from the top 3 campaigns: Joe Trippi for Edwards, David Axelrod for Obama and Mark Penn for Clinton and was an absolute disaster for Clinton thanks to Penn who, in my view, made things worse for her as he tried, so I would have thought, to right the ship.

When Chris Matthews asked Penn if he thought the story about Bill Shaheen's remarks had legs, he said what I figured he'd say, and did a fine job, fairly standard for post-debate spin: accentuate the positive, get in the talking points, etc.

Mark Penn: I think this story's over, I think we made it very clear yesterday that we didn't condone it, we weren't a part of the story that he went on with and we absolutely apologized, the senator went on the tarmac and apologized personally because this is not part of this campaign. She has been running a year long positive campaign in which she's out there talking about ending the Iraq war and healthcare for all...

Matthews then asked if Penn considered the Clinton campaign's use of Obama's past indiscretions and a reference to what he said in kindergarten as the basis for attacks on Obama out of line. This is where Penn actually escalated the attack first advanced by Shaheen as opposed to quashing it.

Mark Penn: Well, I think we've made clear that the issue related to cocaine use is not something that the campaign was in any way raising and I think that's been made clear...

This is when Joe Trippi jumped in and called Penn out.

Joe Trippi: I think he just did it again. He just did it again. Unbelievable. This guy's been filibustering on this, he just said 'cocaine' again.

Mark Penn: I think you're saying 'cocaine.' I think you're saying it.

Joe Trippi: Look the person that won today was John Edwards, Why because he's speaking to the frustration of Americans about something that's going on, how greed's taken over Washington...he's talking about real stuff that's really affecting working people here in Iowa who are frustrated about their jobs while we listen to this garbage that's been going on for a couple of days now and I agree with David on that.

71. Im just glad it's over and done. Quickly.

but like I said, Clinton advisors will now have to tread lightly, and watch everything they say.
I wonder what Saturday will bring? Sunday, Monday, Tuesday?...ad nauseum.
It IS still 'silly season'.

77. Hahahaha, good one

AS= little kick to help get "the word out", wink wink ;)

[yardwork]

80. I think that this reflects well on Obama. He made a campaign promise.

He kept it.

Obama said that comments like that wouldn't be tolerated by his campaign staff, and he followed through. Quite a contrast with the current squatter in the White House, who promised to fire anyone involved in the Plame outing, then protected Rove and Cheney.

If Hillary thinks that this was a success for her, she's wrong. She just handed Obama an awesome victory. She dared him to live up to a campaign promise...and he did!

[anamandujano]

88. only because it was backfiring on him

[Straight Shooter]

157. Maybe it reflects well; maybe not. It sure shines a light on what the O campaign thinks of Hillary.

Now try to imagine the way they talk to one another when there are no reporters present ...

I sincerely doubt the "hope-change-unity" theme abounds in such conversations.

Unless you have a medical license... mentioning any kind of treatment like that could land you in BIG trouble. I have seen a teacher go through a legal process because she mentioned to a student's parents that the student needed some kind of treatment and they went for it.

Just a FYI for you. I strongly suggest you change that to "Chill Pill" and do not mention real world treatments in posts.

And before you ask No I do not need any treatment.

He would have to take you to court and PROVE that you were SERIOUSLY instructing and/or enabling him to get such specific treatment. He would have to prove that in the majorities eyes a REASONABLE person would think that you were seriously suggesting he go to his cabinet and take a Xanax. Geesh. Where do these people come from ...

101. Was she not on a book tour in Europe? Is she not a professor? Having trouble finding tears for her.

[huskerlaw]

105. My god

you do a GREAT job of representing Obama. If I become an Obama supporter, can I be an asshole just like you??

I'm finding it fucking hard to support Obama AND Hillary. Unfortunately, there are people like you on both sides and frankly, I don't want to be associated with people like you. I mean really? Look at yourself. Shit.

[TZ]

111. this thread has the worst examples from both sides

I'm no Hillary fan (I actually like Obama) but this IS fucking nuts and TOTALLY uncalled for.
Its odd, how much I personally dislike Clinton, I often find myself defending her from assholes like the OP. There are ALOT of them here.x(

[huskerlaw]

115. It's absolutely disgusting

Obviously my first choice did not include either Clinton or Obama and I have gone back and looked at both candidates and, while I don't dislike either of them, I don't entirely LIKE either of them either. And I gotta say, seeing crap like this doesn't help.

I'll support either of them in the general, but the shit-throwing from both sides has kept me from getting re-involved in the primary process. It's immature and frankly, ridiculous. Every once in a while I have to remind myself why I've basically blocked GD-P. Well...posts like this are exactly the reason. If I wanted to read steaming piles of dog shit, I'd go elsewhere...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

106. yeah it was my personal doing.

[Catherine Vincent]

107. Damn!

You look so pretty being on Obama's side. Keep it up.

[Maddy McCall]

109. No, SHE got herself fired.

What a stupid thing to do...you never talk candidly to the press and then finish the tirade with "but this is off the record."

[rug]

112. Yup, her Harvard Law Degree is worthless.

[rodeodance]

125. too bad she let hate fill her vitae.

[otohara]

117. Princess Monster

more and more!

[LanternWaste]

118. We stay above the fray

"Shrillary-bots". "Princess". "Destroying livelihoods". "Ruining people's lives". "Monster". "So you howled. You shrieked. You cried and whimpered."


No... we're NOTHING like Free Republic. We stay above the fray, above the everyday name-calling, and above all-- we refrain from both hyperbole and exaggeration.

We remain composed, civil, and dignified-- and the only times we don't is because "well... THEY did it first!" which was a wonderfully valid reason prior to age of enlightenment, but for some reason it simply doesn't sit very well anymore...

[AikidoSoul]

135. You seem to be

the only one who makes sense here.

Wow! A moment of sanity.. how refreshing.

:hi:

[AikidoSoul]

136. You seem to be

the only one who makes sense here.

Wow! A moment of sanity.. how refreshing.

:hi:

[democrattotheend]

119. Shrillary is a right wing, sexist name for her

We don't do Obama any favors by using it.

[NMMatt]

127. Proves that Hillary and her ilk don't give a shit about women

Only their own power grab.

[OzarkDem]

128. If this is the caliber of Obama's "brain trust" no wonder he's losing

Good grief, she makes Condi Rice look like a genius.

[cooolandrew]

129. All the wrong adjectives in that post and trigger words they dont help.

Edit buttons are great if you could manage it.

[JuniperLea]

130. She behaved unprofessionally...

She deserved to lose her job. I would have fired her in a New York second!

Your righteous indignation is silly, but amusing.

[rasputin1952]

134. I'm not a Clinton supporter at this point...but by calling people

"Shrillary-bots", aren't you on the same plane as the woman who lost her job?

There is far too much name calling all over the place, and by posting what you've posted, you've done nothing to calm the waters.

Just a thought.

[LulaMay]

137. You aren't a true liberal as long as you call women "shrill" , you are a chauvinist.

[Eurobabe]

138. Samantha took one for the team.

Don't worry, she'll be back, after Obama wins the nomination. Have faith. The HILLBots have not won this at all. :hi:

[judaspriestess]

140. is this a friggin joke?

a Harvard professor hurting for a job? LOL

[susankh4]

142. Wah-Wah... poor Samantha

Little elistist that she is.

She will never know what "unemployment" feels like. Not with that silver spoon in her mouth... and her hi-faluting Hah-vaad position.

Nope. The unemployed are the "poor" and gullible folk in Ohio. PA. MI. WVA...... the one's Mr. Obama will happily sell down the river to keep his repug friends happy.

[eridani]

143. "Monster" was uncalled for, period. Campaign higher-ups have to be professional n/t

[Perry Logan]

144. "The Audacity of Assholery"

[DemVet]

146. Serves her right. n/t

[workinclasszero]

147. The Hillbots that scream SEXISM!!!

Force a female out into the street because she was truthful about the way she feels. Yeah thats just another great triumph for the women's movement, eh??? :sarcasm:

Way to go Hillbots!:puke:

[indimuse]

149. delusional much??

:crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy:

[krkaufman]

150. It's just the latest in their "Hillary the victim" sub-theme

see also: "Obama is just like Ken Starr? Remember how he picked on Hillary, Dems? Now go hate Obama just like Ken Starr."

[rodeodance]

153. OP is just the lasted BLAME HIllary. hey--it was Samatha talking. GET A GRIP

[krkaufman]

158. Yes, Samantha had an emotional outburst, that she immediately regretted...

... and for which she resigned her association with the Obama campaign. It was not a systemic negative campaigning approach architected at the highest levels of the Obama campaign, as evidenced by the campaign's response.

The Clinton campaign's continued references to Powers' off-hand remark does, indeed, demonstrate further pushing of the "Hillary as victim" theme, invigorated by the SNL skit of exactly 2 weeks ago.

You say potahto, I say potayto. Let's call the whole thing stfu! ;)

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

151. That's A Great Rhythm Your Stamping Feet Are Making. It's Kinda Funky.

[Ravy]

159. Unemployed from a non-paid advisor's job? Now maybe she will have time

to make some money. Using your logic, Hillary supporters did her a favor.

The truth stings, doesn't it?
