More ridiculousness from pro Obama media
Edited on Fri Mar-07-08 04:19 PM by BL611
"On the conference call in which the Clinton campaign -- through their congressional supporters -- called for Obama to dismiss Samantha Power from his campaign, a reporter asked this question: What about how the Clinton campaign handled Bob Johnson's controversial remarks about Obama? "

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/07/742579.aspx

This is preposterous! These are two completely different situations

(1) Hillary is the victim

(2) She does not play the race card. She's the victim.

(3) As far as she knows Obama wasn't a drug dealer, but how can she know for sure. How can you make a definitive statement about someone's past when you're the victim.

(4)The only reason that we even knew Johnson made those statements was because the pro Obama media deemed statements made at a public rally while introducing Hillary as newsworthy. Please. Clearly Obama's much more responsible for comments made off the record to a foreign publication in a foreign nation on a book tour unrelated to the campaign. Media Bias. Victim. Case Closed.

3. She did not denounce or reject
his statement, let alone both. She said what he said is his business. He is an unpaid surrogate, just like her.

Victims are not presidential material. Come back when she gets a spine and/or a message, besides "OMG THE WORLD IS ATTACKING ME! BAWWWWWWWWWW!"

5. No one can EVER be sure of anything about another person
But that's no reason to continue to perpetuate what appears to be such a
blatant lie. When Hillary defended Bill against the "right wing conspiracy"
she claimed that he hadn't lied about Lewinsky ... She didn't qualify it with,
"as far as I know" (which, in retrospect, she probably SHOULD have).

7. You haven't watched the media over the last few weeks, have you?
They have given Hillary and McLame a free ride while being tough on Obama.

12. It's hard to detect the sarcasm ... because
I read posts here every day that are just as whack as your parody, only they're earnest.

I honestly had a conversation with someone who couldn't understand why the attacks against Obama were a problem ... because, after all, they're all "true." (he DID go to a madrassa!)
