Is HRC being attacked more than normal because she didn't take Obama's campaign seriously?

[CatsDogsBabies]

This is what disturbs me most about HRC and I think it encourages people to attack her. Things like hinting that Obama might be the VP choice even though he was/is ahead and saying that McCain is better qualified to be POTUS. I think Obama supporters would attack HRC less if she acted like she took Obama seriously. It was a real mistake or her to be so dismissive of him.

1. She didn't seem to take anyone else's campaign seriously.

2. This is in great part correct. She dismissed us in RI, I won't forget that

In Rhode Island she acted like it was some big joke that Obama had a huge grassroots network. Well, it's no joke, and she ought to show some respect, she didn't. She lost me then... First it was the SC go round, but RI sealed the deal for me.

3. Dismissive of Us too. She never demonstrated that she understands how her vote on the IWR

looks to millions of Americans. All she gave us is what amounts to a bunch of excuses. Whether she agrees with how we see it or not, she at least needs to indicate that she does in fact KNOW that it looks to us as though she used Us in that vote to build her "resume" for the pResidency. That vote was her ticket into the candidates' club and she knew it and she has never had enough respect for us to recognize that we know it too.

5. You have a great point

She has shown little to no respect for Obama and his campaign.

[GoesTo11]

6. Fairy tale. Heavens parting. You're onto something!

She has refused to engage Obama - and by extension the voters - in serious discussion. Oh well, one more thing for historians to study about how to implode a campaign.

7. and then there was the Commander in Chief Test...

which she and McCain had passed, of course, but Obama had clearly never even heard of!

[SoonerPride]

8. She treated the millions of Obama supporters as though they were delusional.

She was projecting again.

10. During one debate she was condescending to Obama

I hate authoritarian ego.

[Arugula Latte]

11. I remember being pissed off at her arrogance months and months ago...

"I WILL be the nominee!"

I remember thinking: "Screw you, Hillary, we haven't weighed in on that yet, Ms. Presumptuous."

12. I think lately the attacks are more based upon an effort

to force her and her supporters out of the race now instead of waiting for the vote.
Since it appears to me that Obama is winning though I dont understand their doing this, their candidate is probably going to win so why cause friction in the party....its almost like they want to fracture the party.
I might even begin to suspect the most vocal Obama supporters as being closest republicans but of course thats paranoid and not remotely possible.

13. That, and the fact that she's a closet repuke asshole. eom
