From Forbes.com user comments(article: A Startling Collapse for Clinton, And An Inability to Let Go).http://blogs.forbes.com/trailwatch/2008/05/an-startling-co.html


There is no "startling collapse for Clinton" and no "inability to let go." The Democratic nomination process has been interfered with and undermined by an out-of-control pro-Obama biased media.

Black racism cannot trump the Democratic nomination process. Obama's lead in delegates, superdelegates and votes is due to the black racism in voting against Sen. Clinton.

Obama does not have the requisite number of delegates for the nomination; he has no presumptive lock on the nomination. The Democratic nomination process is still in progress and concludes when all of the remaining states have voted and the superdelegates select the best qualified candidate using their independent judgment. Sen. Clinton is the best qualified presidential candidate and she must continue her fight for the future of America.

Qualifications must be the unyielding principle, similar to the rule of law, for the presidential nomination. And there is no "backroom deal" in the unyielding principle of qualifications.

Swiping the nomination from Sen. Clinton with the premature end of the nomination process is a subversion of the Democratic nomination process, and Obama will crash and burn in November and the Democratic Party will be a train wreck in November. I will vote McCain. McCain will be president and it will be four more years of Bush under McCain.

20. Thanks.

[Mrs. Overall]

21. Geez, it has gotten bad here....I can't believe you are being beat up for posting comments

from Forbes.

[Doityourself]

22. People just did not read closely enough..I guess and assumed they were my comments..man the claws

are out here. I thought the topic was clear, maybe I'm wrong because quite a few didn't see it.

[YOY]

24. Sorry, but you need to put the quotes in "quotes"

You threw not just me but others off.

[YOY]

23. My bad and my apologies.

Quick to anger lately...

[Doityourself]

26. No problem..I just thought the heading and the user comments lead in was sufficient.

Apology accepted. I hope we are on the same team. Team Obama!!! Team Democracy!

4. 'Pro-Obama Biased Media"???

What the hell have you been watching?

[depakid]

9. Actually, in the first 7 or 8 months, Obama had unparelleled positive coverage

and don't take my word for it- look at objective studies.

THE INVISIBLE PRIMARY—INVISIBLE NO LONGER
A First Look at Coverage of the 2008 Presidential Campaign

A study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism and the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy

A couple of curious notes:

Many of us here- and certainly the corporate media knew about the Rev. Wright videos last summer, yet they didn't come out until fairly recently. Had the media laid into him back then, he probably wouldn't be where he is now.

Another curious finding was that McCain got hammered by far the hardest.

My thoughts are that this shows the corporate media is even farther to the right than many of us would have guessed.

5. If you are voting for mccain, then you obviously are for a permanent presence in Iraq

You are for his vote against the GI bill, you are against health care for 50 million uninsured, you are for the high energy and food prices, you are for judges like scalia and thomas, in fact, if you are voting for mccain you are NOT in the right forum so go find a non progressive right wing program

In other words, get lost

6. This is the DLC party line, If Hillary doesn't get the Dem Nom she might have to save the dems from

the elitist, activist and Black racist who have wrongfully seized control.

She knows whats best for America and as a result she will run against this false Democratic Nominee and the Republican as a NEW Democrat party candidate backed and supported by the true democratic chair the DLC

7. Clinton supporters are so admirable.

[EFerrari]

8. Wow. Some of those comments are horrible.

Who knew freeps posted at Forbes. :wtf:

[whatchamacallit]

10. Yowzer... You are definitely one of them

:eyes:

11. From the same blog, another comment (very pertinent):

Hillary Clinton lost to Barack Obama due to Obama's superior strategy and campaign organization. This article points out how difficult it is for Hillary to accept her defeat. Yet not so long ago, her official campaign website was hosting contests for the best Hillary Clinton campaign song, while Obama was focusing on his case for political change. Perhaps Hillary Clinton finds it diffcult to accept her own flaws and strategic errors and hubris.


But I agree with the OP - it's a real EDUCATION reading the blogs from newspapers, even Huff.Post, at times. For the most part, we're just playing Tiddly Winks in comparison--FORTUNATELY!!

[EFerrari]

17. I was aghast the first time I read the comments in the SF Chronicle.

It was like accidentally wandering into freeperville.

[Spider Jerusalem]

12. And even more misguided people in this very thread...

the OP says 'from the comments', which means; cut-and-paste example of said comments, NOT the thoughts of the original poster. Reading comprehension and logic, anyone?

[Doityourself]

15. THANK YOU...I was like WTF??? LMAO..

[NashVegas]

13. Even a Broken Clock ...

Black racism? Please. That's just silly and we should throw it out.

White male sexism is far more at play than any chips African-descended people may have on their shoulder (and that's not the same as "black racism," if there is such a thing), however the AA vote is being used as a cover, IMO. I call it "Revenge of the Pissed-Off, Sensitive '80s Male."

This part is absolutely true: The Democratic nomination process has been interfered with and undermined by an out-of-control pro-Obama biased media.. It has also been interfered with by Dem. insiders who are relentlessly feeding the press 3/4 of their stories.

[Doityourself]

14. Whooooaa...these are not my comments...they are from a user on Forbes site..

I'm for Obama!! Didn't you guys see where I said a lot of people are deluded and misguided and said "user comments?"

[whatchamacallit]

16. Oops

sorry then:hi:

[Doityourself]

18. Thanks.

:hug:

[Erin Elizabeth]

25. Wow.

I'm reading Invisible Man right now. More people should read that.

Meanwhile? Clinton supporters are still mostly delusional, as evidenced by this. He or she isn't alone. The one Clinton supporter I know in real life talks like this, too. And she's pro-life. WTFever.

[Doityourself]

27. "WTFever."

Oh my goodnees...I love that saying...gonna steal it.

I see it being said in a Valley Girl sort of way..with head tipped to the side! lol!
