Once again, BartCop sees what most thick-headed Democrats cannot.

[Rageneau]

Boy, oh boy. Just take a look at the Clinton-hating posts on this forum! It was never THIS bad on Free Republic! All this hate still boiling out over an enemy these people claim is DEFEATED.

Why? Where does this horrible level of hate come from?

It comes from the right wing, that's where -- in the form of the Mainstream Media, and this isn't the first time people who thought they were good Democrats got tricked into doing the work of the conservative Republicans.

Consider this from BartCop, who so far as I know, has never been wrong on a political issue since (at least) 1997.

From today's Bartcop./com

"In the 2000 election, our whore media demonized Gore and praised Bush.
They painted Gore as a helpless serial liar, and he was unstable if serial liar's not enough.
We didn't like it when the whore media made our decisions for us.

In the 2004 primaries, remember what our whore media did to Howard Dean?
Our whore media demonized Dean, saying he was unstable, and quite possibly wild enough
to eat a young child. Remember how they played his scream and laughed at him?
We didn't like it when the whore media made our decisions for us.

In the 2004 general election, remember what our whore media did to John Kerry?
They painted Kerry as a demented liar who claimed he went into battle in Vietnam,
while praising Bush's brave service to our country in the Air National Guard.
We didn't like it when the whore media made our decisions for us.

Now it's 2008, and once again, our whore media is up to their same,old tricks.
They have demonized our front-runner and elevated and praised Obama.

Why am I the only one who sees what they're doing?
The whore media is owned by super-rich Republican bastards.

They demonized Gore, Dean and Kerry, then praised Obama
to get Hillary out of the race - and we let them do that?

We stood and applauded while they fabricated horseshit racism charges
against the best friends Black people ever had in the White House.

Soon they're going to demonize Obama and praise McCain
and we'll be shocked - because we're Democrats.

Why am I the only one who sees what they're doing?

[WeDidIt]

1. Bartcop is an idiot

The media propped up Clinton from the day she announced until the day after Iowa. They've propped her up since there was no chance of her winning.

But Bart has never been known for his cognitive skills. He only sees what he wants to see.

[BOSSHOG]

6. Your open minded two cents worth is overwhelming

its part of the Unity Cults charm.

Don't fret, I'm a democrat, not a cultist, despite you and your kinds greatest efforts I will be there for OUR candidate in the fall.

[WeDidIt]

8. Fallacy ad hominem

[peacebaby3]

48. Hey BOSSHOG. Let me tell you what Bartcop did one time.

He took a random photo of some soldiers serving (in what appeared to be Iraq) and shopped it to call them "murderers" and "rapists." He had no idea who those soldiers were in this photo or if there was any chance that their family members might see the photo. Someone even posted it here with a link back to his blog (and sadly, the majority of the replies were praising it - although there weren't that many). How is that any better than the horrible people who put purple bandaids on to bash Kerry? My husband recently retired from the military and he served in Iraq. That could have easily been a photo of him.

Sorry, Bartcop is an idiot.

[dchill]

11. You are right.

Bartcop is a big Clinton supporter - and not in a good way. Belated Welcome to DU, IWantAnyDem!
:hi:

[Carolina]

25. agree...

used to love Bartcop, but just like the Clintons, he has become sadly disappointing. His blind support for Hillary is just that selectively blind. All his writings on the war and tutu Democrats --including Kerry and Edwards -- yet somehow in his eyes Hillary, the aye voter on IWR and the Patriot Act, can do no wrong.

[mitchum]

39. Yes, he is such a lush that he suffers from wet brain

[Rene]

42. Excellent points per Bartcop. check www.attacktimeline.com for yourself

See who's run a Karl Rovian type of campaign. I'll never vote for this straw man-obama. Hillary gets my writein....if she's not the official candidate.

[depakid]

44. The corporate media sat on the Wright videos for how long?

and treated Obama with kid gloves- with more positive press that ANY candidate for how long?

http://www.journalism.org/node/9828

I realize that learning how to think critically and analyze objectively will be difficult after 7 years of Republican outrages (and Democratic complicity) -but if folks want a fighting chance to win in November, they'd better get started learning (or re-learning) how its done....

[NJmaverick]

2. Funny this is how the repukes defended bush- they labeled all of bush's critics as "bush haters"

it's a dishonest tactic that is also quite shameful.

[Exilednight]

3. Bartcop might be the most colorful crayon in the box, but he's not the brightest. n/t

[ColesCountyDem]

9. My sentiments exactly!

:rofl:

[ShortnFiery]

40. Well put. Respect him many times, but on this one, he's wrong.

:shrug:

[JerseygirlCT]

4. Oh lunchmeat.

The right wing has been salivating at the prospect of a fight against Clinton for years now. They're all loaded up and ready to shoot. Obama's nomination screws up all their plans, and that makes them mad.

The media are interested in keeping the fight going as long as possible. It's the ratings.

These lines definitely cross, of course. And it's perhaps more than just coincidence that they've all been doing all they can to further Clinton remaining in the race.

[Rene]

45. Wrong....Hillary Clinton would be the stronger candidate. Obama is a wimp

a 'no resume'featherweight.....a packaged product from the king makers. Shme to watch the sheeple following him over a cliff into chaos and confusion.

[JerseygirlCT]

49. She cannot win. Face it. She's not going to be the nominee, to begin with

and she would have started with nearly half the country dead set against her.

We've seen what happens in 51-49 fights with the GOP machine. Wasn't going to happen.

With her behavior during this campaign turning off a significant portion of people who should have been her base, she's in even worse shape.

Obama's resume is not featherweight - unless you think working in the community counts for nothing. She was first lady - that's what she's counting on for a lot of her "resume". Not a particularly impressive achievement, IMO.

She's been an ok senator for a few years longer than he has.

John McCain has been a senator much, much longer than either of them. Do you prefer his "heavyweight" resume? Should that put him in the WH?

I think not.

[mattclearing]

5. That's right, blame everyone but yourself.

The Clintons have no one to blame but themselves. The sooner people realize that, the sooner the healing can begin.

[seabeyond]

7. no. they have been trying to push hillary since before 2004. and we arent buying

it....

[Orangepeel]

10. Oh, well. If the whore media was able to defeat her in the primary

the whore media would have been able to defeat her in the general.

What I wonder is what the whore media was doing when it talked about nothing but Reverend Wright for a month.

[Peregrine Took]

12. Ignore the facile name calling here. You are exactly right. The sexism and

outright misogyny I've seen on DU and elsewhere in the so-called progressive blogisphere makes freeperville pale in comparison.

I'm sickened by it and while I would never vote for McCain I'm so repelled by these bizarre and manic "bot's of Obama I just don't think I could ever vote for him.

[Exilednight]

17. So you're going to let what some rabid supporter said on in the internet prevent .....

you from voting for Obama? I've seen some pretty nasty things said about Obama from Hillary supporters, would that prevent you from voting for her?

[roguevalley]

31. so, don't vote. your unwillingness to look at the shit storm by

the hill bots make you a partisan. who cares if you vote or not. don't.

[mcctatas]

13. "Why am I the only one who sees what they're doing?"

Um, because he's off his meds? :shrug:

[Fovea]

14. For almost a year

the name Clinton was synonymous with the word inevitable.
Ms. Clinton brought her own negatives with her.
She then fought a typical Republican campaign.

So what if they demonize Obama?

They are whores. They are the mouthbreathers in the body politic.

This is the election year the wide stance party made, and their embedded enablers. It is going to eat them alive with fava beans and vinaigrette.

John McCain is going to make the Repugs look enviously at George McGovern. I mean at least we got a good elder statesman out of the disaster.

The cost will be that Obama will have to embrace the horror, and start getting ready to be F.D.R. on day one. It is more than he thinks is doable now, but he will find that in 2009, it is not just possible to provide universal healthcare, but that it may be near impossible to hold on to the private healthcare system.

We are in the Long Emergency. It is no longer deniable, and the old rules no longer apply. Progress is no longer suburbias ten miles farther out, and a thousand more square feet of living space on another 5 acres of lot.

Progress is what keeps society together through the storm.

[DemGa]

15. But if we look just a bit deeper at the case of Gore - we see a Dem behind that too

"There are those urging Bill Bradley to discontinue his campaign against Al Gore in the name of salvaging Democratic unity. But it appears that Bradley has instead decided to fight on full throttle, putting Gore's trustworthiness on trial. And that's good news for our democracy.

"How can the people trust a candidate," Bradley asked in New York the day after the New Hampshire primary, "who doesn't respect them enough to tell them the truth in the campaign?"

Bradley has warned voters to watch for Gore's "tricky" way with words, going as far as to compare him with Richard Nixon: "the kind of politician who'd chop down a tree, then stand on the stump and give a speech about conservation."

http://ariannaonline.huffingtonpost.com/columns/column.php?id=228

Now, they've run the same sly trick on Clinton - questioning her honesty and integrity at every turn, until it became the Obamas mantra: Clinton is a liar. Useful tools.

So BartCop asks:"Why am I the only one who sees what they're doing?" You're not the only one - many like me, saw through it all the while.

[roseBudd]

19. actually snipergate was her own doing and real

[DemGa]

22. But the Obama campaign was running this line on Clinton

long before "snipergate." It's just a campaign tactic - the very lowest.

[roseBudd]

26. link please

[DemGa]

33. It's always been about attacking Clinton's honesty and integrity - slickly done

“People have heard a lot of things that just aren’t true from the mouth of the First Lady, from the mouth of the former president, from the mouth of the campaign," said Robert Gibbs, Obama’s communications director."

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0108/8002.html

Q. Has she been truthful to voters about what she would do as president?

A. “No.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/27/us/politics/28q-aobama.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

top Obama strategist David Axelrod said: "We're going to spell out positions on issues and demand others do as well. One of the things that people are looking for is someone . . . who will be forthright with them and not pass everything through a political calculator.

http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/asection/la-na-debate1nov01,1,7488705.story

Obama responded: "Hillary's idea is that we should force everyone to buy insurance. But this is yet another issue where she is not being straight with the American people because she refuses to tell us how much she would fine people if they couldn't afford insurance."

16. Bartcop? The pink tutu guy?

He's an idiot!

[WeDidIt]

20. Bartcop objectifies women

Bartcop Hotties

[ticapnews]

18. Maybe if Clinton's chief strategists knew the rules she'd have done better

Expecting Hillary to wrap up the nomination early because she was going to take all 370 of California's delegates was the worst campaign blunder since Dukakis rode around in that tank.

Blaming the media now seems just a tad desperate.

[Beregond2]

21. I suppose

that's why they've done everything to get her elected but stage a coup for her? I suppose that's why they have been harping on Rev. Wright and flag pins, and "bittergate" and all those other bogus anti-Obama faux-scandals for months? And on what planet is Hillary the front-runner?

This guy is either a moron, or blinded by his devotion to Her Hillaryness.

[highplainsdem]

23. No, he isn't the only one who sees it. It's been obvious for months.

They wanted Edwards out of the race, so they ignored him. (They did the same thing in 2004, to hurt his chances. And as Bartcop said, they demonized Dean.)

They built up Obama as "the rock star" -- God, I must've heard that said about him at least hundreds of times on cable news and network news shows. OTOH, they went after Hillary constantly.

And I expect them to now turn on Obama and start praising McCain.

Hillary has a lot more experience with them than Obama does. I believe she could have handled this better.

I'm still hoping she'll be on the ticket. He's going to need all the help he can get from her.

[40ozDonkey]

24. Oh good, more crap from the Democratic version of 28%ers.

I'm so glad we dodged this bullet and put the cult of personality types where they belong.

In the 2004 primaries, remember what our whore media did to Howard Dean?
Our whore media demonized Dean, saying he was unstable, and quite possibly wild enough
to eat a young child. Remember how they played his scream and laughed at him?
We didn't like it when the whore media made our decisions for us.

You liked it when the DLC did it though: http://www.ndol.org/ndol_ci.cfm?contentid=251690&kaid=1 "What activists like Dean call the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party is an aberration; the McGovern-Mondale wing, defined principally by weakness abroad and elitist, interest-group liberalism at home," From and Reed wrote in a fiery memo titled "The Real Soul of the Democratic Party" on May 15, 2003. What have Hillary fans done to discredit the DLC for leading the whore media attack? Oh, right, nothing. They rewarded them.

Now it's 2008, and once again, our whore media is up to their same,old tricks.
They have demonized our front-runner and elevated and praised Obama.
Why am I the only one who sees what they're doing?
The whore media is owned by super-rich Republican bastards.

Yeah, she should make those Republican bastards pay by giving air time to Mellon-Scaife and ... Rupert... Murdoch. <sigh>

We stood and applauded while they fabricated horseshit racism charges
against the best friends Black people ever had in the White House.

Why did Hillary apologize for Ferraro's remarks? Because they were too awesome and she was sorry she didn't think of saying it first? :eyes:

Why am I the only one who sees what they're doing?
Not sure, I'm guessing it's because Bartcop's off his fucking meds and somebody left the laptop out?

[NewHampshireDem]

27. :sigh: I was hoping the OP was going to give me a reason to

put Bartblog back on my RSS. Instead, it's only reinforced my decision to remove it. :(

[OzarkDem]

28. Bart is correct

and once they elevate Obama, they will tear him down in the GE. Pretty predictable.

[phrigndumass]

29. "the best friends Black people ever had in the White House"

Not exactly subtle, but very incorrect. Think Lyndon Johnson. Think Abraham Lincoln.

I used to enjoy a good Bartcop read every now and then, but I noticed early on in this primary season that he has some of his own demons to tend to. One is ego, and another is racial ignorance.

Maybe he's been hitting the chinaco a bit too hard lately.

[tularetom]

30. Clinton had this thing in the bag

Money up the wazoo

A veteran campaign organizatrion

Connections with the Hollywood elite.

Name recognition.


And still managed to blow it all to lose to a newbie who nobody knew from fucking Adam before the beginning of the campaign. She ran a horrible campaign and lost the aura of inevitablility the whore media had bestowed on her. Why? She is not a likeable person. And despite what anybody says, she is not a "fighter".

In Mr Cop's terms she's the pinkest of the pink tutu Dems, having voted for the Iraq war and refused to back away from it because she is still afraid of being labeled "weak on terror". Worst of all she is not even true to her own beliefs - she was a defender of the black panthers and the radical antiwar movement back in the day.

Hillary Clinton is a fake - fake fighter, fake conservative, fake racist, fake everything. And it shows. And most people can spot a fake. And Bartcop has become a sad partisan instead of a progressive observer.

[OzarkDem]

51. Then she refused to sell out

to Wall Street and the private insurance industry. Obama, ever the eager bag-man, took the bait.

[TragedyandHope]

32. TYPO:

"They have demonized our front-runner and elevated and praised Obama."

[bowens43]

34. only an idiot would blame the media for what hillary did to herself.

She has evolved into nothing more then a mirror image of bush. She and W are two ends of the same worm. She's a deceitful, lying, race baiter.

It's tiume for hillary to Sit down STFU.

[walldude]

35. Muslim, Osama, Madrassa, Wright, Hates Babies, bad bowler

yeah Obama is just getting his ass kissed by the media :eyes: Talk about thick headed. Try checking out hillaryis44 to see what freeperville looks like..

[hfojvt]

36. consider the source of hate on this site

It comes from the same people who did NOT fall for the smears against Gore, the people who did NOT fall for the smears against Dean, and who did NOT fall for the smears against Kerry. Funny how this time we would fall for propaganda from the M$M.

Sorry, but that does not add up. Is the media really enouraging people to hate Hillary as a Republican-Lite?

[jillan]

37. Me thinks I need to start reading Bartcop more.

That was excellent.

[madrchsod]

38. second link from bartcop today

funny it does`t get any better the second time around...

[Danger Mouse]

41. who gives a shit what fartcop has to say?

[HuffleClaw]

47. cute but not a genuine response of course n/t

[OzarkDem]

50. Careful

you're showing your true colors.

[zulchzulu]

43. Why aren't the voters as smart as you and this Bartcop genius?

:puke:

[HuffleClaw]

46. some have been TRYING to tell people this for a loooong time

but very very few have listened.


and its far too late now.

[Buzz Clik]

53. Oh, bullshit.

If we're too fucking stupid to figure out fact from fiction, we shouldn't be allowed to vote.

[Buzz Clik]

52. Rightwing? Some of it for sure. A lot of it is pure rage and frustration.

There is no question that we have been infiltrated by knuckledragging assholes. They have disrupted constantly.

But that isn't me, and I'm plenty pissed off at the Clinton campaign and all their minions. The level of unforgivable shit that has been dished out toward Obama for months has been all that we can stand. And, now that she cannot possibly win except by changing the rules, somebody expects us to simply wring our hands and cluck our tongues. Fuck that.
