For the children here - Hillary was offered to be on Hardball too.

[themaguffin]

Rather than contribute to the assinine thread about Obama's appearance on Hardball, let's make this clear for the children on this board, Hillary was offered an appearance too. Rather than act like children, grow up and ask her campaign why she hasn't accepted the offer yet.

[anonymous171]

1. Fear.

[gateley]

4. Yep. Same reason she hasn't agreed to the NC debate. nt

[anonymous171]

6. When they appear together he always gets better reviews.

That's probably why she's avoiding these kinds of things when at all possible.

[sallyseven]

27. The media gives it to him. She wins them all.

[gateley]

28. Not in my opinion. And I'm not the media. nt

[NC_Nurse]

32. Yeah, I thought she was all hot to have multiple debates...

:wtf:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. She wanted to go on Jim Kramer instead.

She wanted to hear all the hot stock tips about buying Bear Stearns stock with campaign money.

[Swamp Rat]

8. He has more sound effects.

[joshcryer]

15. He knows his shit though.

I'd rather go on there than Hardball any day.

[Ichingcarpenter]

19. His picks in one year are only 33% right

He knows that something is happening with the stock but has been wrong
on what to do with that knowlege.

[MaineDem]

20. Except when he told people to hold their Bear Stearns stock

Three days later it sold for $2 a share.

We all have bad days, I guess. :)

[MannyGoldstein]

25. You Mean "He Knows *Jack* Shit"

His picks well underperform the market.

[Ichingcarpenter]

18. She likes his Rants and lousy advice

but the Hallmark channel is gonna have her on Murder She Wrote,
where she solves a crime with Jessica.

[BlooInBloo]

31. Aaahh.... Jim "Always Wrong" Kramer....

You just gotta love snakeoil salesmen.

[bunnies]

3. I once had a cat that liked to piss on everything.

A vet visit fixed that though.

[YDogg]

5. I thought Obama sounded terrific.

He clearly had an enthusiastic audience.

[GarbagemanLB]

7. I hear she'll be making the rounds on Glenn Beck, Hannity & Colmes, and O'Reilly.

[DearAbby]

9. snort ...n/t

[knight_of_the_star]

10. Fail

Talk about riding a high horse

[ellisonz]

30. lol

[Captain Hilts]

11. Because he uses names like 'nurse ratched', 'madam deFarge', and 'lady MacBeth' to refer to her? nt

[Cha]

16. And we all know hilary is nothing like those

crazed women in fiction. hilary has her own brand goin'..

[hisownpetard]

21. Who does she resemble more - any of those three, or Rocky Balboa?

[Debi]

12. She was too busy preparing for her Faux debute? n/t

[depakid]

13. why she hasn't accepted the offer yet.

Maybe because Hardball is about the most asinine program on TV?

Seriously- it's demeaning to even try to watch (that quite aside from the fact that all people do is holler over one another, so you can hardly hear what they're saying).

To be perfectly honest, I lose some respect for anyone who does that sorry show.

[themaguffin]

17. how many times do the guest and Matthews yell at each on a college tour event?

Jesus, come on.

[Abacus]

14. She seems generally reluctant to do interviews

I know that the Daily Show had been trying to get her on for quite a while. I've heard the "we offered Senator Clinton an interview as well" disclaimer a few times now.

[Beacool]

22. Why would she want to appear in that sexist asshole's show????

MSNBC might as well come out and fully endorse Obama. I bet Tweety got wood just being near his vapid idol.

As for Hillary being afraid, huh, the one thing that woman doesn't know is fear!!! She got more cojones than most men put together.

[Ichingcarpenter]

23. Maybe for the Youth Vote?

It is a college tour and the students ask the questions.

[Beacool]

24. Going to colleges is great, but she can do that without appearing with Tweety.

The guy's sexist remarks throughout this campaign have been despicable, and I would say the same thing regardless of who the woman was at the end of his misogynist comments.

[sallyseven]

26. Why should she go on Hardball.

He hates her guts and has been trashing her for over a year. No matter what she said he would trash it and spit back a her. I hate him and his rotten snotty ways. Don't forget he loves the right wing coulter, pat buchanan, and assorted other deranged individuals. He spent a lot of last year encouraging Obama to go negative. Then he said Obama took his advice.

[StevieM]

29. This is so silly. Why would Hillary appear on a show who's host has been trashing her

day and night?

Steve

[Evergreen Emerald]

33. Why should she go on a show that has attacked her viciously

Tweety called her a baby killer, likened her to Hitler, has continued to repeat the most vile lies and distortions, has said sexist misogynistic hurtful lies.

You respect Obama for not going on Fox? Tweety has been worse to Clinton than anyone on TV. Obama should be boycotting Tweety.

And you "democrats" should be cheering her stance rather than sleeping with that propaganda enemy of democracy.

[johnnydrama]

34. she has a right to not go on Hardball

But her supporters should stop posting that they're giving Obama free airtime.

You can't have it both ways.

[Evergreen Emerald]

37. both ways? It would be nice if both got free air time. Instead

Obama is softballed and fawned over and Clinton is attacked.

Both ways? I have to laugh.

[RememberWellstone]

35. And you know this how?

I can tell you, it is not fear that drives this strong woman...please.

[pkz]

36. She won't go on LKL either

I can understand not showing up on Tweety's show or KO's, but she could go on with Scarborough or Larry King.
Dang! everyone goes on LKL, he has had Bill on lots of times.
