No Quarter: Barack Flipped Off Hillary!
Edited on Thu Apr-17-08 11:22 PM by TML
Per the guy who has probably never seen the inside of a hair salon in his adult life:

Further — as you’ll see below in a short clip, just below this longer video — he flipped off Hillary in a “street” sort of way. But it is undeniable — I have asked several people to confirm — that he indeed did give Hillary the finger, and it’s clear from the audience reaction that he did so.


Their edited version of the video

CBS video of the same speech with camera angle showing Barack scratching his face with his middle finger and index finger extended at the :39 mark.

Gee, Larry. Is the first finger the "fuck" and the second finger the "you"? Maybe we should ask some of his flunkies who cross-post their bile on this board?

Edited on Thu Apr-17-08 11:29 PM by anonymous171
America is sick of this shit. If Hillary's shills push this forward it will only reinforce what Obama has been saying about the pettiness of our politics.

16. Clinton is not that dumb.
#1 She understands FCC rules (IE if that was really the finger then every network would be fined)

#2 She has enough respect not to say such shit.

#3 She knows that if she tries the backfire will be extreme.

22. Clinton always sends her surrogates to do the dirty work
Exactly one thread above yours right now and posted at the same time

Obama gives Hillary the "fuck you," crowd of his supporters goes wild cheering

So yeah, Clinton is that dumb.

How many points do you think she'll lose in the polls for this one?

33. It wont go mainstream due to FCC rules
Because if somehow it was a flip off then anyone who showed the speech on public airwaves would be fined.


Therefore the people running the censor equipment did not see any flipping off therefore there was none. And saying there is amounts to slander.

Clinton is smart enough to know this and she knows damn well Obama did not flip her off.

7. No sadly, desperate Clinton supporters are trying to push this.
Thankfully tho I have enough respect for Clinton to say that she will not try to push this. As it will backfire.

This is just like the topic earlier about a supposed Hamas endorsement. Turned out it was from a right wing website.

But then again, Bush referring to a reporter as a "major league asshole" didn't hurt, so maybe his Randi and Barack bashing is for the better good.

60. This Is How I Know It's Over For Hillary
Her supporters must feel it in their hearts, in the deepest recesses of their of their souls. This inane accusation is not one made from a position of power, it is an act of utter and complete desperation.

I once viewed Hillary's supporters as the loyal opposition with our own party. Though I still can't believe that all of her supporters have swallowed this tripe, I can neither believe that a continuation of this campaign serves our party or our country.

The Clinton campaign has become a vile embarrassment. If she somehow manages to take the nomination, through any means legitimate or otherwise, I will not vote for her. I will write in the name of Barack Obama.

It is crystal clear to those who are not clouded with a coarse contempt brought on by a lust for the unattainable. Hillary Clinton should immediately apologize to Barack Obama for the actions of her supporters, and then step away from her pursuit of the nomination.

73. I'm from an urban area
and I am African American.

I saw the video and in my experience that is not the way that it is done.

First of all,you are usually mad.
You don't have a smile on your face.
And your finger makes a motion that indicates " Take THAT!"
And your face gets tight.

He was doing a cute version of "the Brush off" which was jovial.
He was not angry, he was getting the audience in a playful but meaningful mood.

Then he went to brush off his leg and the audience was enjoying that too!

He had no reason to give HC the finger, it would not jive with the rest of his actions.

When you are from the South Side of Chicago,the finger is a language.

He was not speaking that language at that time.

Also,it is not given in a big audience where there could be those that don't understand what you are doing.

Now when he finished the debate and he was relaxing with his friend back at the hotel,he would probably say " Man! I wanted to say Take THIS George and John you dirty low down dogs!"

"Take THIS!" and they would slap hands and throw their heads back and start laughing until they were rolling on the floor laughing.

Then throughout the rest of the evening,from time to time, they would repeat it and touch the palm of their hand together and turn around and smack hands with their backs to each other.

It's a language like you will see some of the Basketball players "speak" when their ball hits the hoop.

78. And brushed her off like dandruff; that glib, dissociative, frat-boy humor...
has brought him a long way. For me it has already long since worn thin. It's too cute, watching a grown man act in such ways over & over again.

People that hire people for jobs at the corporate level have been known to point out, that resorting to such cuteness routinely can indicate that applicants have little else on their minds to refer to. Like too much humor, joking, or improvisation. They'd rather locate prospective new hires with balanced points of reference. And not comedians, unless of course they're considering employment at The Improv, or Laughs Unlimited, etc...

Makes me wonder what he has in store for the world, or the likes of Vlad Putin.
