Hillary = Monster?

[PITBOS]

Interesting how Obama quickly appoligized for this comment. The aide called Hillary a monster offline and in another country and thought she was off the record. Plus she is a unpaid advisor. Did Obama jump on this to get it in the papers? Many people think that of Hillary and why we see such vitriol towrads her.

Is Hillary a monster? mmmmmm. This might need to be discussed more.

11. It's a hoot!

It's like watching a riot erupt in a day-care center.

--p!

[SoFlaJet]

2. Hillary=The Medusa

worse than a monster

[11 Bravo]

18. I don't support her, but one bright side to her possibly obtaining the nomination is that ...

you, and others like you will have to either shut the fuck up, or leave and go try to turn some other forum into a bile-filled cesspool.

[polichick]

3. Yet, it's okay with Hillary that her staff says Obama is like Ken Starr...

Hillary is a disgrace!

[Lucinda]

4. No she didnt think she was off the record. She screwed up and tried to correct it.

Please stick to the facts.

[anigbrowl]

6. Whereas the Clinton campaign just screw up and don't try to correct it.

"Monster" is the new black.

[ingac70]

14. ...

"She is a monster, too – that is off the record – she is stooping to anything,"

[TwilightGardener]

5. A monster? Not "as far as we KNOW"...

[tekisui]

8. I think it's been discussed ad naseum.

Enough is enough.

[PITBOS]

15. oh ok. Well before I post what else can't we talk about?

[tekisui]

16. Just my opinion. You asked for a discussion.

You are free to post whatever you want.

[PITBOS]

29. in the words of BO....point conceded

10. It sure is a good thing Power didn't call Hillary a "bitch" isn't it??

:eyes:

[ericgtr]

12. Hillary is the worst kind of monster, one who puts her party second

K&R

13. The dumbass was too stupid to know that if you say something like she did...

you can't follow it up with "but this is off the record."

[PITBOS]

20. I would bet this dumb ass is many times smarter than both of

us and might actually know what she's talking about.

[Maddy McCall]

22. She may be smarter, but she's not very saavy with the press.

As her recent resignation demonstrates.

What she did was purely stupid.

[PITBOS]

31. i'm not so sure. This might help BO stick up to this bully

[MrCoffee]

21. Samantha Power is not a dumbass by any stretch of your delusional imagination

She is ten times smarter and more talented than either candidate. You have no idea what you're talking about.

[Maddy McCall]

23. In speaking as she did to the press, she was a dumbass.

[tekisui]

25. I am beginning to wonder.

She is extremely intelligent and well-spoken. Maybe she did it intentionally, know it would cost her a position on the campaign. How many times have we heard the word "monster" today?

[MrCoffee]

28. I think she was probably blindsided

She's extremely passionate about issues she's involved in, and the whole interview was part of her book tour (her newest book was released 2/14).

I don't think she anticipated a foreign reporter asking her about the US presidential campaign.

[MrCoffee]

27. She is on her book tour, she's not a paid spokeswoman

The whole interview was predicated on her book release, and I'd imagine she was a bit blindsided by a foreign reporter asking her about a US election campaign.

It was probably a mistake for her to say it (which she immediately realized and tried to retract), but for you to call her a dumbass for it shows that you have no idea who she is or what you're talking about.

She's a brilliant, talented, remarkable liberal mind. Any Democratic administration would be lucky to have her serve.

[Window]

17. LOL! Too funny.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[PITBOS]

19. and oh btw, this was no light weight who said this.

Harvard and Yale law school, Pulitzer Prize winner, involved with human rights.

[Maddy McCall]

24. All that, but too stupid to know that you can't disparage the opposition...

and THEN say "but this is off the record."

[blocker]

26. actually monster is kinda compliment for clinton!

I have other words that would describe her a lot better!!!

[underpants]

30. I do hate to say this but in the soundbite world of MSM "Monster" could be the end for her

We'll see if it lasts through the weekend (my advise to Team Hillary is to let it go, let it die off) but if it does she is done.

A lot of this has not been fair-the rightwing "prepped the battle field" on her for years mainly as an attack on her husband and on feminism but also because they knew she was going to run.

The "Monster" line is something that sticks. It cements the established perception of her.

A shame, she has an incredible history but that might have been the accidental (off record) end of her national run.

We'll see.

32. Who noticed the comment and made it an issue in the US?

After all, my compliments to the Scots and all, but the Scotsman is hardly the number one newspaaper in circulation in the US.

[PITBOS]

39. its interesting it did break here.

[Vinca]

33. Actually, when you read the definition of "monster," it's not off base.

#2 is "a threatening force," #5, "one that is highly successful." Now - about the Ken Starr remark.

[BlueStater]

34. Great. Now you're going to bring all the Obamanuts over to this topic.

The lunatics have truly taken over the asylum.

[HooptieWagon]

35. Headline is very unfair to monsters. n/t

[musiclawyer]

36. Obama should have refused her resignation

He could have said something like, I know that she dislikes HRC, and probably meant that HRC is duplictitous at times and is skilled at press manipulation, because that's what she's told me. But she's a very talented adviser in her field of expertise and I do not want to lose her." I would have loved THAT response

[MrCoffee]

37. I'd have jumped right on the Obama train had he done exactly that

Sadly, he didn't.

[PITBOS]

38. I agree. She's sharp.

[anonymous171]

40. At least he didn't say "She isn't a monster, as far as I know."

[PITBOS]

41. Now THATS a funny one
