New Hillary supporters' talking point: "Stuff"-gate

[Arkana]

Has anyone noticed the number of threads that keep popping up about this?

Get over it, folks.

[4themind]

1. What's that "stuff" about?

Sorry so many "gates" have been opened I'm losing track of them

[ginnyinWI]

7. apparently, people don't like the fact

that he used the word "stuff" when a more Senatorial word could have been used. Sheesh. If that's all they've got...

[Mooney]

16. He should have said "matter."

Or "particle atoms."

[Cha]

34. So "stuff-it gate" has

taken over "Sweetiegate"? 'Cause I kinda liked Sweetie-PIE!

[4themind]

28. Ohh, but what was the sentance that had the "stuff" people are talking about ?-nt

[niyad]

2. get over it? sorry, but we have one clueless twit in office right now who talks

about "stuff"

[tekisui]

5. And we also have a Liar in Chief.

Obama is not "clueless". He is intelligent and surrounds himself with very intelligent people who know a lot of stuff. I'll take it, thank you very much.

[Arkana]

8. I'm personally looking forward to the day Obama is inaugurated

then we can find out just how much "stuff" he knows. After all, if his campaign is any indication, he knows a great deal of "stuff" about the way Americans think and what they want out of their elected representatives.

[tekisui]

9. He knows how to communicate "stuff". He understands "stuff".

He wins because he has the "stuff".

[niyad]

15. "stuff"?? sorry, but I prefer a little more substance than "stuff"

and, quite frankly, the "stuff" obama is communicating is making me very concerned, as is his vagueness in a lot of areas.

[olkaz]

19. Run with this one

I'm sure the electorate will find it as interesting as you do.

[sudopod]

40. Everyone knows that Obama is a terrible public speaker.

:eyes:

[Arkana]

6. If he had shown no prior ability to speak intelligently on the subject, I'd be worried.

But you are comparing him to George Bush in terms of oratorical ability and intelligence level--a charge that is, at best, incendiary, stupid, and completely unfounded.

[ginnyinWI]

13. exactly.

The man writes books (very well) and speeches--not just adequately, but excellently. The one that impressed me the most was his first book, Dreams from my Father. It reads like a novel, with beautiful imagery and descriptions of conversations that make you feel like you were there. I know a thing or two about writing, and his writing style is great. He could have made a career out of it.

And there was one moment recently that further sold me on his command of language. One time he was answering a question and he used the word "less", then immediately corrected himself and said, "fewer". That says to me that he really knows his English usage, because it's a mistake that a lot of people make all the time and never realize it.

[anigbrowl]

24. Yes. He really needs to talk about STFU.

[Vinca]

3. Let's rename it "stuffit-gate." nt

[sniffa]

4. I haven't noticed any

and there's a reason for that. :bounce:

[AtomicKitten]

10. magic?

"Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, the eyes, the eyes, not around the eyes, don't look around the eyes, look into my eyes. You're under!"

[sniffa]

11. Have they renamed the ignore funtion?

:D

[AtomicKitten]

14. I hope not.

The ignore function stands between me and a granite cookie.

:hi:

[Erin Elizabeth]

39. Oh!

Thank you, you just helped me figure out why I wasn't seeing these threads either.

[Catherine Vincent]

12. What are you talking about?

Obamabots are the ones that need to get over the crap they're posting about Hillary.

[BuyingThyme]

17. If he really did use the word STUFF

he'd better get the damage-control team out there.

This could be his undoing.

[rug]

18. I'll get to it after I'm done with the Mock Hillary's Bowling thread.

[Forkboy]

21. Be sure to read the ones mocking Obama's bowling first.

[rug]

23. I must have missed them with all the 40 year old bookbag threads.

[Forkboy]

26. Maybe you were blinded by the "sweetie gate" threads.

[rug]

27. I saw them after wading through dozens of tears threads.

[Forkboy]

29. I'm surprised you noticed those tucked between the "Obama doesn't want you to vote" threads.

:rofl: Has this been a stupid primary or what?

:toast:

[rug]

31. I haven't been able to leave since the Hillary Must Quit! threads after Iowa.

:rofl:

:hi:

[Forkboy]

32. LOL

This place is crazy. :)

[Forkboy]

20. "sweetie-gate" didn't pan out.

[stahbrett]

22. Obama - he has the Right Stuff

:)

[Torgo Johnson]

25. What a bunch of hypocrites

"I was told we had to land a certain way, we had to have our bullet proof…stuff on, because of the threat of sniper fire. I was also told that the greeting ceremony had been moved away from the, uh, tarmac, but that there was this eight year old girl and I said well I have, I can’t, I can’t rush by her, I’ve got to at least greet her. So I greeted her, I took her STUFF and I left. Now that’s my memory of it."

Hillary Clinton, being interviewed by the Philadelphia Daily News, March 24

[Shae]

33. oh dear

maybe it is okay to use that word after, all -- at least in that context. Ummm --well, of course, that's entirely different than the way Obama used it, you know. Obama's use of the word just shows him to be an empty suit, but when Hillary used it it just shows that she's HUMAN.

Geesh, can't you see the difference?

[Arkana]

37. It shows she's human.

You know, as opposed to a lizard or a T-1000 in a human suit.

[DarienComp]

30. I still think they should have kept pushing "Handshake-gate".

That was immensely fun.

[crankychatter]

35. they come in waves all prepared to stir the race-gender pot OR

whatever sleazy, incendiary, republican like smear they've concocted most recently...

I believe they use proxies, socks, multiple user ID's to falsely pump their crap to the top five all the time

it's a dozen of the same people... conferring over at their clubhouse...

coming back to threaten and provoke

just having kicks... they're not passionate about their candidate

it's all a fucking game to them

[bobthedrummer]

36. Yep-here's one example, a locked Evergreen Emerald thread that ran yesterday

"The Obama infection and the lynching of Hillary Clinton" (4-6-2008)

[Erin Elizabeth]

38. OHMAHGAWD, HE SAID "STUFF??"

Shit. Get rid of him, then.

:sarcasm:
