Is calling Hillary Clinton Annie Oakley similar to likening Obama's SC win to Jessie Jackson?

[jsamuel]

Does that play on the fact that she is woman like the Jessie Jackson quote played on the fact that Obama is black?

[MadBadger]

1. The argument against Obama is that he won SC because he was black

I dont see the same magnitude with Obama's Oakley comment.

[AllentownJake]

2. No

I respect Annie Oakley.

Shame on Barack Obama, Annie Oakley is a good folk hero.

[NYCGirl]

4. Yes, she's a great folk hero. And Hillary Clinton's no Annie Oakley. She just

thinks she is.

[redqueen]

3. No.

*sigh*

Are analogies really this hard?

[PA Democrat]

27. LOL. Thank God they took them off the College Board exam!

[redqueen]

28. Heh... well that sort of explains things...

I guess...


:crazy:

[julialnyc]

5. No... it would be like calling Obama Rambo if he started pretending was a gun enthusiast

[GarbagemanLB]

6. Uh...no. He called her Annie Oakley NOT because she was a woman but because she was PANDERING.

[jsamuel]

7. couldn't he have said Billy the Kid or something?

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

17. then people would think he was referring to Wild Bill Clinton

who is being called Billy the kid in some places.

[Texas Hill Country]

22. how about Jesse James? Daniel Boone?

[cali]

8. no. That was part of a concerted effort by team Clinton

to frame Obama as a fringe minority candidate who couldn't appeal to white voters in the upcoming states. His comment about Annie Oakley is akin to Clinton mocking him for remarks he's made.

[meow mix]

9. no, her gun totin' ways were the issue.

but im thinkin you know that already

[ampad]

10. Would it of been better to call her Jesse James

Then people would be screaming he was calling her a man or a cross dresser, geesh. I think it was evident what he was getting at.

[DemGa]

11. There was nothing inherently racial in Clinton's comment

-- this was all speculation. Obama clearly meant to mock Sen. Clinton.

The two are certainly dissimilar.

[BeyondGeography]

12. Not even close

[Jersey Devil]

13. You would have preferred "Hopalong Hillary"?

I hope you are not serious.

[SoCalDem]

19. or Cisco-kid Clinton.. who'd be her Pancho? Penn?

:rofl:

[bigtree]

14. yes it is

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

15. did the Jesse Jackson quote have to do with Guns?

?

[SoCalDem]

16. Did Annie Oakley win the South Carolina primary?

:rofl:

[blogslut]

18. No

n/t

[CakeGrrl]

20. No. It wasn't about her being a woman, it was about her being a so-called GUN-TOTER

Would you have asked that question if Obama had compared HRC to The Rifleman or Billy the Kid?

[WillyT]

21. More Like Ma Barker To Me...

[mrJJ]

23. Calamity Jane

The Self-Swiftboating campaign that Sen Clinton has been running deserves the "Calamity Jane" title instead of Annie Oakley

[grasswire]

24. "you can't get a man with a gun"?

I think it's a very disappointing comment from Obama, full of misogynistic implications.

[ampad]

25. Looks like we are witnessing the birth

of a Clinton supporter faux outrage. How exciting for us to see this bullshit from the start. :eyes:

[jsamuel]

26. I was interested in people's opinions.

I don't support Clinton.

[PaulaFarrell]

29. just stirring, huh? n/t

[jsamuel]

33. well, it is a political discussion board for the primary

where else would we discuss an issue like this?

[frazzled]

30. Did Annie Oakley run for president?

If not, the comments bear no relationship to one another.

(try adding this line: Annie Oakley won Pennsylvania, too, but she didn't get the nomination).

[mythyc]

31. No

nt :eyes:

[DearAbby]

32. R.E.A.C.H.I.N.G.

Classic line from the award winning Movie

"Joe Dirt"


"I got the poo on meee!


WARNING....SHIT SLINGING ZONE!

[kwenu]

34. The way I've heard it played here in Texas is that Obama owes Annie Oakley's descendents an apology.

[shayes51]

35. Yes, but don't look for the

Obama folks to say so.

[anonymous171]

36. No. It's a remark on her sudden love of guns and whiskey.

[cooolandrew]

37. Not even worth responding to this thread.

[WinkyDink]

38. And yet........
