Looks Like the Latest Talking Point Has Emerged from the Obama Compound...
...and it's recycled freeper peckersniffing from 1998. How very hopeful and changealicious!

1. Hillary could have had class and not said what she did about Wright. Instead, she showed her true co
lors, yet again. We Obama supporters only learn from the best when it comes to trashing your opponents, Hillbots.

6. She just said that Wright would not have still been her pastor.
I don't really think her answer was bad at all. She also did not comment on the story at all last week. She only spoke of it once she was asked this question. I would have answered the same way. If I heard my pastor talk the way Rev. Wright did, I would have left the church. I think we should give credit where credit is due: She never mentioned the Rev. Wright issue when the story was breaking in the media.

9. Yeah, because it would have hurt her. She only pulled that card out today because of Snipergate.

12. It was the first time she was asked about the issue.
Asked and answered very tactfully. She did not say anything bad about Obama. She just said that she would not have remained in the church. End of story. BTW, this is Obama's story and not Clinton's. Let's not make it about her and return the focus of the Rev. Wright story back to where it belongs.

15. Not true she was asked several times before, they even showed it
and she said she would "let Obama answer that question". This is clearly her way of hitting below the belt, what she is best at. Selectively gutter trashing Obama to take focus off of her sniper gaffe.

2. That is not coming from the Obama "compound" its coming from us grassroots supporters. . .
. . .who traditionally support the Clintons, who normally think shit like this needs to be off limits but who are sick and tired of Hillary's hypocrisy. I hope the Obama campaign does not bring it up, but the media and grassroots supporters should point out that a certain respect is being paid to Hillary's decision to stay with Bill and we just would think she would extend the same courtesy to Obama.

4. Check out the forum. At least three pecker threads posted within minutes of one another.
Pretty impressive coincidence.

14. No, that's what we call an unhealthy fascination with other people's peckers
and there whereabouts. Bizarrely enough, It's a common affliction among both Republicans and DU Obama supporters.

11. K&R, QC! I cannot understand the obsession some of these
folks have with Bill's dick! What is it? I mean, I admit he is a handsome man, but, Jesus, all you anti-Clinton folks need to quit grabbing Bill's dick. It is unseemly...

13. It's creepy. Coming here is like getting sucked into a black hole and emerging
in Free Republic during the autumn of 1998.

16. It's true. We actually have "Democrats" here who are spewing
all (ALL) of the tripe and sewage that was heaped on the Clintons by Republicans in the 90s! I just cannot figure it out. Maybe it is because I have been a Kucinich supporter for years and I have always been put down and belittled by other Democrats, but all this vilification of another Democrat is just unbelievable. This is way beyond simple opposition to an opposing candidate - this is ugly personal destruction...

18. Let me ask you this - and think about it.
Did she deserve it in the 90s? If not then, why now?

21. I have a feeling people are upset shes questioning obamas moral judgement...
Edited on Wed Mar-26-08 09:06 AM by george_maniakes
with regards to not abandoning his pastor. And so people are bringing up her past moral judgements. Mind you, i think it would be nice if we could bring the campaign back to the way it was before iowa. seemed people were nicer back then.

edited to add "people"

22. I agree. Granted that on many issues the two candidates are
not far apart, but they should find the ones that separate them and have at it - policy and 'plans for the nation' style. The problem is that with both candidates, they want to stay as vague about specifics as possible and so there is little to campaign on. But I wish all of this personal destruction crap would stop, that is the Republican brand of campaigning (even though they don't use it on themselves, only on Democrats - hey, that is something that Obama and Clinton have in common with McCain, they all three slime Democrats...)

24. id have to slightly disagree in that it seems bush really went after mccain in 2000...
in a nasty way. I agree that the candidates seem to prefer vagueness rather than specifcs, as it probably allows more wiggle room. Than again i guess all politicians are like that. I just wish the slime would stop. Its so pointless.

And I agree completely about wishing the shit would stop with us...

23. Billary o8
Heres your 2 for 1 deal

misspoke
1 : to speak (as a word) incorrectly
2 : to express (oneself) imperfectly or incorrectly <claims now that he misspoke himself>
intransitive verb

liar
1: a person who tells lies

"I certainly do remember that trip to Bosnia, and as Togo said, there was a saying around the White House that if a place was too small, too poor, or too dangerous, the president couldn't go, so send the First Lady. That’s where we went. I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base."


"I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again," he said with a clenched jaw and stern expression that day. "I did not have sexual

relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time, never. These allegations are false."
