Bill criticizes voters for "bullying" superdelegates..

[Why Syzygy]

Clinton also spoke against bullying superdelegates to make up their minds, saying, "I cant believe it. It is just frantic the way they are trying to push and pressure and bully all these superdelegates to come out. 'Oh, this is so terrible: The people they want her.

hmm. I remember some of the SDs complaining about the Clinton blitz.
Whatever you do, don't contact your elected public servants.
If it were Her, she would just have you arrested in the hallway to Her office.

Bill doesn't want voters to be HEARD.
He only wants votes counted for Her.

1. Wait a minute...

weren't the hillbots bullying SD's not all that long ago? Someone has to have a link...
:wtf:

[Wetzelbill]

15. I don't have a link

offhand, but last summer and last fall when she was supposed to be "inevitable" the Clinton campaign pressured the SDs to commit to her. That's the biggest reason why was behind in SDs so long, many of them committed when they thought she was a sure thing.

26. Heck, that's nothing.. look at WHO is actually doing the bullying >>>

http://www.hillaryclintonforum.net/discussion/forumdisplay.php?f=41

An entire forum devoted to just superdelegate bullying.
Its HIS people who are freakin wackjobs.

[mcctatas]

29. WOW!!!

and I'm sure we'll be inundated with links to a similarly coordinated effort by Obama supporters, right? No? Waiting....
;)

16. "hillbots?" why are you name calling?

[mcctatas]

18. There is a distinct difference between a Hillbot and a Hillary

supporter, Hillbots are the kind of rabid assholes who would harass superdelegats (as are Obamabots), Hillary supporters just feel passionately about their candidate. Why are you so sensitive? Are you a hillbot? :shrug:

3. Trying to bribe them with a million dollars is better.

4. Whine whine, get outta the kitchen before you become COMPLETEly irrelevant, Bill.

[AllentownJake]

5. Bill is going to say alot

of stupid things in the next 3 weeks. The man doesn't handle losing well. I expect a fullout embarrassing meltdown around the results of MT and SD.

[grantcart]

6. 9 Days please don't let them string it out beyond 6/3 lol

[Wetzelbill]

11. Unfortunately

the voting will be over in 9 days. She'll probably hang in until the 15th. You sound weary, haha. Hang in there we'll get this thing over with soon... I hope. :)

[FrenchieCat]

7. How much crying is he going to do........and why should I believe his lying ass?

[Why Syzygy]

12. Yeah, I'm nowhere near as forgiving of

his sorry ass as his wife is.

[Deja Q]

19. Hey, he didn't have sex with that woman! His cigar did!

I say, ARREST THE CIGAR!

[nichomachus]

8. God forbid the voters should have a say -- that's not the Clinton way

They only trust processes where the votes are counted in secret by Diebold.

[RainDog]

9. he's such a lying sack of shit

such a hypocrite. go read The Rolling Stone article in which the superdelegates talk about being harassed by the Clinton campaign! jesus christ - he's an idiot if he thinks he's doing Hillary any good with this shit.

telling ppl in KY that Obama supporters "don't care about them" -- he has done a lot of damage to himself this primary. I simply cannot stand him any longer. What a user.

[Why Syzygy]

23. BINGO!

Given the way house members are lining up behind Obama, Hillary has only one path to victory — chaos, lunacy, the strong arm and dark, secret, cloak-and-dagger bullshit.

We know, because the superdelegates themselves are admitting it, that party officials whose votes are still in play are being besieged by phone calls from the political Mount Olympus. Ed Tinsley, a county commissioner from Montana, got two calls apiece from Madeleine Albright, Chelsea Clinton and Tom Daschle. It got so intense after a while that Tinsley's friends started to prank-call him, pretending to be various Important People clamoring for his support.

"Yeah, my buddies were goofing around a little bit there," he says with a laugh. "It's slowed down some since I declared for Obama — but I still hear from the Clinton campaign, e-mails telling me Obama can't win and so on."

10. From what I've heard it's all Clinton supporters pressuring the SDs

Those who are uncommitted are being urged to come out for Clinton and those who have endorsed Obama are being urged to change to Clinton. The SDs I've talked with have said nothing about pressure from Obama people.

[polichick]

13. LOL - first he's complaining about disrespect, and now this??

Nothing like a little projection! NOBODY has been more disrespectful toward his wife than he has ~ and we all know from the Bill Richardson episode who's been bullying superdelegates. Too much!!

[City Lights]

14. Laughable, coming from the guy whose daughter put pressure on SDs to

support her mother. Nothing like endorsement by guilt. :eyes:

Go away, Bill. Far, far away. You've become a pathetic, pitiful figure.

[FredScuttle]

17. He should know something about "bullying"

Back in '98, he pushed most of his cabinet and a lot of his supporters out in front of the cameras to put their reputations on the line to lie for him. He hung a lot of those people out to dry and I'd like to think this is karma biting him and his wife in their arrogant asses. Fuck the both of them.

[JVS]

21. Didn't he and Hillary bully Richardson?

[IDemo]

22. And now this musical interlude from the Whinerian Orchestra:

24. I'm really really really really really really REALLY...

...ready for him to just GO AWAY.

[lob1]

28. To make your position absolutely clear, you should've

added one more "really". Otherwise, I really agree with your statement.

[shadowknows69]

25. Um, this is how our democracy works Bill

If our reps aren't doing the things we want we threaten to fire them. Usually doesn't work, but it's still our right.

[anigbrowl]

27. If the people want her, why are they bullying the superdelegates? I'm so confused, Bill!

To think I used to believe this guy was the greatest thing since the discovery of cheese.

[lob1]

30. Good description. From a distance

Bill looks like a nice wheel of cheddar. You get a little closer and realize he's just a pile of limburger.

[NewHampshireDem]

31. I, for one, am glad Bill is getting some exercise

Reach and twist and stretch! Reach and twist and stretch! Reach and twist and stretch!

That's gotta be good for his heart. :P

[Why Syzygy]

32. This is the latest *ain't it awful poor me* victim card.

Obviously, we are supposed to believe that since she hasn't been afforded "respect", she should clearly be the "winner".

Yes, at least he stayed calm too. I'm sure his blood pressure has taken some hits along this route.

33. Bill Clinton; "Why bully the SD's when it's easier to bribe them?" n/t
