What has happened in here??

[RockaFowler]

OK, I'm using one of my 3 posts today to try and figure out what the heck is going on in here people.

One idiot posts a doctored video (come on the DVD has been out for years and no-one mentioned it before today) on youtube and it's the end of Hillary's campaign. DU used to be a place where we would see reasonable people writing reasonable thoughts about Democratic principles. Today I see people smear a perfectly good man and try to blame Hillary for it. Again, what has happened here?

Now before you go and flame me - I am not a Hillary supporter. I voted for Edwards. But, I will vote for the Democrat that is our nominee. And that, my friends, should be our ultimate goal.

Stop the fighting, please. Let the voters vote. And at the end of the day, we will win the White House!

Thank You and Peace!!!

1. I think there are quite a few of us who are regretting the hasty actions of the morning,

2. Insanity, denial, blame and the race issue have replaced EVERYTHING ELSE.

The SD should just nominate a REAL WINNER like JOHN EDWARDS and be done with IT!!!

3. As a HRC supporter...

...I would probably agree with you at this point.

10. That would cause so many problems

Take the nomination from the black guy and the white woman and give it to the white southern man (I love him and am not bashing him) the MSM and the GOP would have a field day with that.

5. OK

There are people here that say even if the tape was doctored and a good man was smeared they are happy because it hurt Hillary Clinton's campaign...

6. it's the heat of the moment

You're non-commital just like John Edwards so far, I( take it - but what's with the three-per-day post quota?

7. Actually, the comment about "those people are sh_t" was mentioned by the WaPo and The Australian

Herald in article written in 1993 and 1995 respectively.

Both papers thought he was referring to the voters of Indiana.

So yes, it has been mentioned before.

Just FYI

9. Having listened to it again...

I take back what I said this morning.

Kantor does sound like he actually said "Those people are shitting" and he was referring to Bush 41 & company.

14. I have no idea. I just know what the newspapers said in '93 and '95. I think after

Senator Clinton endorsed McCain over the Democratic front runner, people were so shocked they are ready to believe anything.

That was when she lost it with the super delegates, IMHO. That was so far over the line that people wonder what her campaign is capable of. Sayiong (or not ) that the voters are sh_t is really nothing compared to the endorsement

8. Like Rev. Wright and "Fingergate" aren't worse.

TWO newspapers heard the same thing we heard.

13. Rec for the greatest page

I'm just getting caught up on this here -- seems like the outrage du jour, or rather, the distraction du jour.

I'm with you. It's about a Democrat in the White House as far as I'm concerned, and I'll vote for either as the nominee.
