8. They have Wright on tape. If she has anything to back up this bull,
she should show it or step off.

14. What they dont have on tape is claiming that Wright struggles between Islam and Christianity
Which is what she and a Washington Times RW tool talked about a couple days ago.

18. I don't watch the jerk. I don't like her, no matter what she says.
She should not accuse people without having at least a shred of proof.

Clearly she's an enemy of the state.

23. Pointing out that Hill's peeps may be using Obama's race to persuade superdelegates to support her..
Edited on Thu Apr-03-08 04:38 PM by VolcanoJen
..does not make Hillary a racist. That's not at all what Andrea Mitchell was insinuating.

Do you know what a racist is? Do you know anything about prejudice + power? C'mon. Not at all what Mitchell was saying.

It's not a far stretch to imagine that a candidate as behind as Hillary, who has picked up, like, one superdelegate in two solid months, might try to point out to undecideds that, you know, Obama... he's black. And America still has a lot of prejudiced people living in it.

That. Does. Not. Make. The. Clintons. Racist.

I don't even think that's below the belt, I really don't. Now, it's not fucking likely to work, because it's just so completely stupid, but there's nothing wrong with what Andrea said the Clintons are doing.

27. If she has no proof, she's not pointing out anything. She's being libelous and
I hope she gets it good.

32. Multiple media outlets are reporting on this.
Are you guys going to keep calling for the heads of every journalist who dares to report unflattering but true stories on Hillary? You've all wandered into the realm of the absurd.

30. About the reaction I'd expect. TPM got trashed earlier for it, too.
Multiple media outlets are reporting on a well-sourced story. Yeah, let's all gather the torches and pitchforks because somebody reports on our candidate unflatteringly--but correctly.

I'm losing track of everybody who's made the shit list by now. :eyes:

I never thought I'd see the day when legions of fellow DUers would turn on both solid lefties and reputable journalists. It's beyond sad.

Edited on Thu Apr-03-08 04:33 PM by Radio_Lady
Andrea probably has a pretty good life, but has to live with Alan Greenspan in order to qualify for it. (Ha-ha-ha)

:sarcasm:





Just a silly joke, folks, stolen from some on-stage comic of long ago... maybe even Milton Berle!

Not just for the racial issue raised here. But I'd like to know what she's doing to try and get them to support her.

26. Here is BO saying his camp did the race-baiting!! The infamous 4 page memo! Look here:

QUOTE
RUSSERT: In terms of accountability, Senator Obama, Senator Clinton on Sunday told me that the Obama campaign had been pushing this storyline. And, true enough, your press secretary in South Carolina -- four pages of alleged comments made by the Clinton people about the issue of race.
In hindsight, do you regret pushing this story?


OBAMA: Well, not only in hindsight, but going forward. I think that, as Hillary said, our supporters, our staff get overzealous. They start saying things that I would not say. And it is my responsibility to make sure that we’re setting a clear tone in our campaign, and I take that responsibility very seriously, which is why I spoke yesterday and sent a message in case people were not clear that what we want to do is make sure that we focus on the issues.

Now, there are going to be significant issues that we debate, and some serious differences that we have. OBAMA: And I’m sure those will be on display today.

and if they can't start acting like jouranlists instead of tabloid sleazebags they should be fired.

I wish we could start a licensing system for journalists so we could yank them for being lying, soulless assholes.

51. She's against Obama. She took Obama's "punished for a baby" comment out of context and also
Edited on Thu Apr-03-08 05:53 PM by jenmito
talked about "garlic noses" all day long, right after he gave a great speech on the economy. And THEN she claimed Obama took MCCAIN'S words out of context with the "troops in Iraq for 100 years" comment going so far as to play McCain's video to try to prove Obama wrong. Too bad she didn't care enough about taking OBAMA'S words out of context to play video of his whole answer.
