Character ASSASSINATION
looks like the Clinton camp is bent on destroying Keith Olbermann's character,
since he made that special comment about her tolerance toward Ferraro's racial
motivated comment.

This is the type of Government Hillary wants to run when you disagree with her
she destroys you by CHARACTER ASSASSINATION. I'm seeing a trend here
which should be alarming to any true Democrats and the voices are slowly growing
from those disgruntle Clinton backers just because Olbermann cannot stand for
what they (Clintons)have become.

This is an area every Democrats need to focus on and start addressing, how long
can we as Democrats allow Republicans with the help of the DLC insider dealing
continue to use these incoherent tactics to further their selfish needs.

Its about time people start calling them for what they are.



word for the wise should be quite sufficient!

27. Can't as the OP is one of my 300+ ignores...

But I've seen rumor that the Hillbots are upset about a joke KO told about someone going into a room with Hillary and only one emerges or something...

Is there a link to a MSNBC clip of this joke?

The Hillbots claims that this is encouraging violence against women but it sounds to me more like a "Thunderdome" reference and that as a metaphor, not an actual "deathmatch".

31. Thanks for the link...
and, holy crap, THAT'S what the fuss is about? He was clearly speaking metaphorically, and right after comments about 30 rounds in a boxing match (what, is Obama a woman beater TOO because KO says they are like prize fighters in a boxing match?)...

Give me a break.

Such nonsense coming from the Clintonistas.

Edited on Fri Apr-25-08 02:03 PM by mcctatas
ass-hattier devotees are doing. The Shuster thing, that was weak sauce from the hillary campaign; this is a bunch of outrage junkies looking for a new white whale to slay (and yes that is in reference to Keith's {though I love him to pieces} beefy appearance on Lettermn):evilgrin:

8. GROSS generalization
He just had her on recently -- and it's not as if he's been out
to "get" her from the start. I think he, like many of us, has
become increasingly disillusioned with her campaign and has
responded.

5. More fascism in a newer, female face: HRC
You won't see many of our civil liberties restored under her, plus
more soft censorship of the media (e.g., David Shuster).

6. OT
I love how the word "assassination" has "ass" in it twice. I like to shake my butt when I say it "ASS-ASS-ination".

FAUX Noize and Rush Limbaugh. :puke:

10. They really are turning into a sad, sad charicature of liberals and feminists, aren't they?
Step out of line and you're 'dead' to them.

Wait, is that a death threat? Did they threaten KO, Randi, Bill Richardson ...

Someone get on your blog and MAKE IT SO! :eyes:

11. I was hesitant to accept the argument that a candidate will run the office as s/he runs a campaign,
but now I accept that argument completely.

We really cannot afford to have Hillary Clinton in the White House.

17. There have been rants on here about Keith Oberman not
behaving or giving into some organization. This latest snafu is just that. He doesn't like Hillary and has made it clear from what other posters have said. I don't get to hear him very often so I can't personally say what I think, but I don't think he is being destroyed.

18. I'd say the "Character Assassination"
Edited on Fri Apr-25-08 02:16 PM by cricket08
has been directed at HRC. Olbermann assassinating HER character night after night. That special comment on Ferraro was DISGUSTING!! Even Obama himself said what Ferraro had said was NOT racist. If you think it's okay for Olbermann to assault HRC every night, then when he turns and runs his magic on Obama, I'm sure you'll be okay with that too!!

He's a blowhard, arrogant asshole, and has lost journalistic credibility. He's got a fucking nerve saying "good night and good luck" every night. When he showed his bias for Obama, he lost any credibility he might have had. He never has anyone on his show but those that echo his thoughts.

The tide is turning, and he going to be left out there looking like the fool he is.

22. Speaking of loosing Journalistic credibility
we can name quite a few who have actually lost that, who are in Hillary's corner,
want me to start:-

Wolf Blitzer

Joe 'motormouth' Scarborough

Chris 'tweety' Mathews

The whole of 'fucking' Fox news network and

CNN (Clinton News Network)

Those anchor women on MSNBC during the day, I can go on and on....

26. Ferraro was spouting hate like a Klansman in drag, and you know it.
"Oh they would never vote for him if he wasn't BLACK"

And she said exactly the same thing about Jesse Jackson in 1988.

Ferraro IS a racist. And a FAUX employee besides. (But isn't that redundant?)

23. This is so laughable. Obama does nothing but insult HRC's character.
His attacks are not issue based. They are always character based.

I think there's some projection going on.

29. Hmm...
I respond commenting on the irony of your post, given that your candidate and his supporters do NOTHING BUT personally attacking HRC every day.

And then your response doesn't even pretend to contain a bit of substance.

Guess I proved my point.

33. Personally attacking ?
How? What has he said that was "personal" ? Has he brought up the Blue Dress ? That was pretty personal, and he has never brought up that episode has he ? Not even to point out that Pastor Wright was invited to WH when Bill was apologizing for that affair.

Has the name Vince Foster been brought up by Obama ? No, it has not.

He has talked about how her words and actions are contradictory. That is not personal. That is politics.
