Atrios NAILS that icky feeling we all have about Hillary

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

That icky feeling is very hard to describe. I couldn't put my finger on it. And then Atrios nailed it:

Deep Thought

Remember back in junior high, when you had that friend that the bullies picked on all the time? And you defended that friend, who really never did all that much for you, which led to you getting your ass kicked a few times yourself? And then you got to high school and your friend joined up with the bullies? It's kind of like that.

24. How?

:crazy:

NGU.

[Rincewind]

4. I don't have an icky feeling about Hillary.

Or, an icky feeling about Obama. Your feelings are just that, your feelings, not anyone else's.

[cbayer]

5. Thanks for that.

It's exactly what I wanted to say.

[anamandujano]

6. Dumb.

edit to add-- He's making the analogy that Obama is a mama's boy that can't take care of himself.

[enki23]

10. wow. just... wow.

.

[DerekJ]

11. I don’t get it, no seriously, how did you establish that analogy?

[Forkboy]

15. frontal lobotomy.

;)

46. Better a bottle in front of me

than a...

[Tesha]

35. Creative reading. (NT)

[grantcart]

41. thought processes were interupted by sniper fire

[uponit7771]

8. Yeap, the friend was always one of the bullies....she's ...so disappointing

[theredpen]

9. Hillary pwned.

[Zhade]

21. Hillary's been pwned.

Fixed to reflect reality about the Snipergate liar.

[theredpen]

22. Thanks, that's what I meant.

[Bluebear]

12. "We all have"

:silly:

[Cha]

13. That's hilary who use to get defended by

me here in New York from the left and the right and then hilly joined the bushits' War On Iraq scam and became one of them.

"Did everybody miss Hillary Clinton inserting TORT REFORM into her speech on the housing crisis?"

14. Atrios admits that Hillary-haters have juvenile minds and are emotionally stuck in high school.

I'm surprised to see Atrios admit to what most of us Hillary supporters have long thought about most Hillary-haters: they don't really know WHY they hate her, but they know that all the cool kids can't stand her, so they hate her, too, hoping it will make the cool kids like them.

IOW, All it takes to be socially accepted is to join a lynch mob.

[goclark]

32. I don't hate her, I feel sad for her

She is an angry person and selfish and that is not what we need in the WH.

[Zueda]

36. I at times say I feel sorry or sad for her...

But my wife always brings me back by reminding me "what if the tables were turned?"

[goclark]

40. Bet she wouldn't feel sorry for either of us

:hug:

[merh]

16. that not only describes Hillary

but a bunch of her supporters. :(

[AGirl]

17. oh god, what a stupid fucking analogy.

[americanstranger]

34. Not if you include the link he had in that post.

The American Spectator??

Now I see where Clinton supporters penchant for quoting right-wing sources comes from - straight from the top.

[TwilightGardener]

18. Yeppers.

[MaraJade]

19. Immature analysis. . .

so typical of the YOUTH supporters of Obama. . .

[Teaser]

26. how old are you?

Atrios is 36. Is that "youth?"

[Zhade]

20. Not to mention the "friend" being a total proven liar. With video to prove it.

NT!

[Orsino]

23. I was about to call this stupid...

...but I guess it's a fair analogy for Democratic corporatism, and the way we get suckered into voting for rich people--who nearly always betray us.

edit: I should specify that I have similar fears about both Democratic candidates, and McCain of course is a given.

[redqueen]

27. Well said. (nt)

[MyNameGoesHere]

25. People here have defended "Hillary the bully"?

Yes delusions run rampant here.

[Catherina]

28. Atrios nailed it n/t

[OmahaBlueDog]

29. I'm getting an icky feeling about both of 'em.

Bosnia....Wright... Bill's a rascist.. Michelle hates America....Hillary is the candidate of corporate America..... Obama is the candidate of Oprah Winfrey...Mark Penn....Rezko.....

I'll take either over McCain, but I'm looking forward to a brokered convention.

[burythehatchet]

33. then she has succeeded. She's a Republican in Dem clothing.

[Zueda]

38. Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding !

We have a winner!

[VolcanoJen]

30. Pretty spot-on.

That article about the Clintons trying to smear an Obama advisor a drunken anti-semite is fucking nauseating. In the American Spectator no less!!!!

I'm so completely beyond done with the Clintons and their loyalists.

Done.

[DemzRock]

31. All fine except Team Clinton did a FREAKING HELL of a lot for us and the economy.

How short people's memories are.

Longest peacetime expansion.

All boats floated higher not just the rich.

Soaring employment and stock market.

From deficits to surpluses.

Etc. Etc.

[NorthernSpy]

37. yes, China and India thank them...

Oh -- you mean us here in the US?


Not so much.

[davsand]

39. Don't forget "Team Clinton" gave us NAFTA.

Rest assured there are a lot of unemployed people here in the US that will NEVER forget that lovely bit of work.

44. The good lasted HOW LONG while the bad lasted HOW LONG? Was deep-sixing BCCI matters

throughout the 90s worth it to this nation?


Are TEMPORARY fixes STILL MORE attractive to you or do you realize now how TRUTH is the foundation for a solid economy AND a stronger more secure nation?

[immoderate]

45. Clintons sailed on the technology bubble.

For the increases in productivity, working people got relatively little. They got out just as the bubble burst.

49. Don't thank the Clintons. Thank Bill Gates and all of the DotCom hucksters.

It was artificial growth driven by stock market speculation and fraudulent bookkeeping. And it collapsed.

Credit where credit is due. And the Clintons deserve next to zero credit from the economic expansion of the '90s.

Sometimes things happen IN SPITE OF the the president not because of them.

[LittleClarkie]

42. Interesting thought. However, we don't "all" have that feeling

since some of that "all" are Hillary supporters.

I'm pretty sure they don't find her icky.

Meanwhile, I was the picked on kid, so I get the reference.

[beachmom]

48. Me, too, LC. In 6th grade especially. I have to say, the neutral

people kind of annoyed me. They just stood there and let it happen. They didn't stick up for me. I may add that they were my friends. I have no idea how that relates to the OP, but that was my story from back then.

47. Perfect.
