Sour Obama grapes...

[KennedyGuy]

If Obama had gotten the Des Moines paper endorsement..you guys, Faux news and Tweety would be trumpeting this as the final nail in Hillarys coffin...
Instead..since Hillary got it..it is suddenly meaningless and "the kiss of death" because they are never right.
No wonder Obama turned to oprah..
sheesh..

[AX10]

1. True.

[K Gardner]

2. Its not just Obama..

I'm sour graping for Obama, Edwards, Biden, Kucinich, Richardson and Dodd, too !!

Maybe even Gravel !

(Did I forget anybody??) :party: :bounce:

[Joe the Revelator]

3. The facts are the facts...

The register has never endorsed an eventual dem winner. That doesn't mean they never will, but it doesn't bode well for Team Hillary. With that said I was one of the first to congratulate Hillary's supporters on DU, because it will be a good day for them tomorrow.

Stop looking for everyone to be overly excited for someone elses candidate. Do you really think the Hillary supporters would have jumped up and down with joy if Obama got the endorsement?

[DemKR]

4. Only a matter of days before Obama's finished.

[BeyondGeography]

5. Thanks for the laugh

[ClarkUSA]

8. That Clinton Kool-Aide must be mighty strong.

:eyes:

[silverojo]

35. You been smoking some of that weed which WJ Clinton didn't inhale?

That's the only thing I can think of, which would lead you to that conclusion.

What part of "dead heat" don't you Clinton lovers understand?

[ClarkUSA]

6. If Obama had wined and dined the editors and staff and Yepsen, you can bet there'd be disgust too.

Also, the Des Moines Register endorsement read like a seal of approval for politics as usual and ignored her votes on IWR and Kyl-Lieberman
completely, which is not what the many here who count as the Democratic base can find admirable.

[DURHAM D]

7. Yepsen - not on the board.

However, I am sure it makes no difference to you.

[ClarkUSA]

11. He's the head political guy in Iowa -- he's part of the picture and on board alright.

Otherwise Hillary wouldn't have spent two hours having a "private dinner" with him last week prior to this endorsement.
I'm sure this endorsement did not occur without the editors consulting with him.

[DURHAM D]

15. What does this mean "on board alright"? n/t

[KennedyGuy]

10. Earlier Saturday, in Waterloo, Obama told reporters that he would like the paper’s endorsement.

OOps..gues it wasn't so meaningless after all...

[ClarkUSA]

16. What else is he going to say: "I don't want the paper's endorsement"?

But by all means, you Hillaryworlders hang your hats on the Des Moines Register endorsement. I'm sure it will make thousands of Iowans rush to
caucus for Clinton now.... :eyes:

[BeyondGeography]

13. What a sad and incoherent document

Reads like their hearts weren't really in it. I've seen pieces about salty snacks that had more life.

[ClarkUSA]

20. Looks like ol' Bill still knows how to get ladies' knickers in a twist....

So to speak. ;-)

[MonkeyFunk]

28. YEah

those women can't possibly think for themselves...

Do you have any idea how ridiculously sexist you sound?

[Cameron27]

9. It's not Obama,

he was gracious when he got the news.

17. WTF?

[BeyondGeography]

19. It only comes out at night

[Joe the Revelator]

18. Yep, this post proves it, Hillary supporters are the cream of the crop.

:rofl:

[Windy]

23. this is what scares me about Hillary. Look at the type of people who come out for her.

The poison they spread and their lack of maturity. We have not only Obama, but Edwards, Biden, Dodd all of whom are heads and shoulders about clinton when it comes to the issues. the fact that she voted for kyl lieberman should have sounded the death nell for her candidacy.

[maddiejoan]

26. I resent that

That post does not represent the majority of Hillary supporters.

It certainly does not represent me.

[Joe the Revelator]

29. It represents the majority of Hillary supporters on DU

And for the purposes of this discussion, thats enough.

[maddiejoan]

34. No, Wolsh

it doesn't.

It doesn't even represent the majority of Hillary supporters on DU.

[Capn Sunshine]

30. I appreciate that

I only wish it were you running the campaign, because you are not an arrogant hubris filled self entitled prick.

THAT is the take away from the campaign at ground level. That is what comes from the top down.

You on the other hand, are a free thinking individual who appreciates what Hillary brings to the table. So do I. Would that it were you and people like you running things.

The main reason I'm not working for her is that collection of incompetent wacks whose only skill besides kissing beltway ass is staying inside a bubble of entitlement.

[maddiejoan]

33. I appreciate that.

I'm not sure having a bisexual trannie ,like me, running her campaign would be a huge plus for her ;)

[MonkeyFunk]

37. ah, go for it Maddie!

Put me down as a reference!

[juajen]

53. Nor me.

N/T

[leftynyc]

52. Hillary supporter?

Where does it say that?

[comradebillyboy]

31. Even though I support Hillary your characterization of

Obama is downright offensive. If Obama wins the nomination he will have my support. I don't really care if he went through a doper phase. Lots of younger people do and move on with no ill effects.

[ripple]

44. Drug pusher???? Drudge much?

I apologize to the moderators, but I can't resist telling you to fuck off. You are no democrat, or at least not one that I prefer to be associated with.

[MadBadger]

47. No apology should be needed. If they erased yours but not his, then that would be ridiculous.

[MonkeyFunk]

48. sheesh

what a maroon.

[ellisonz]

57. Ignore.

P.S. Family Guy is f-----g stupid.

[sniffa]

59. more brains

[Franc_Lee]

12. I'm for Obama but I agree, I give Hillary credit for scoring Des Moines paper but

Obama scored The Boston Globe so kuddo's to him also...

[Windy]

21. Please I hope this is not Bobby Kennedy Junior

My god. What in the world is going on in the democratic party. How can anyone support this woman over any of the other candidates in this race. (Gravel aside).

There are many reasons not to support your candidate and they are legitimate reasons related to the issues.

It is fear for this country and fear for our children and grandchildren that comes into play when looking at some of Clinton's decidedly neo-con views on critical issues that face this country.

It is not "bashing" or "hatred" to expect more from the candidate who will represent our interests in the general election.

We don't all fall in lock step simply because its a "clinton".

[suston96]

22. The Boston Globe?

I know the Boston Globe.

The Boston Globe is my friend.

The Boston Globe has been in my bird cage for 40 years.

[juajen]

54. That is just "Rich"!

[msongs]

24. the corporate masters' mouthpiece papers have split their votes...may a better third choice win nt

[whirlygigspin]

25. I be hypno-tized by the medias!

welcome to the corporation, please do as your told and refrain from any sudden movements.

thank you for your cooperation

[Skip Intro]

27. It is so damn transparent, isn't it.

And the sore loser whining, sheesh.

[Capn Sunshine]

32. and the horse you rode in on

can't you guys back off for a goddamn second? Enjoy your "victory".

I have nothing bad to say about Hillary tonight, but her campaign is the pits.

[MonkeyFunk]

36. We'd love to enjoy it...

but we're too busy knocking back all the slimy, bitter, jealous attacks from people whose candidate did NOT get the endorsement.

It's been particularly obnoxious here tonight, Cap'n.

[tammywammy]

38. I noticed

I saw the first thread, announcing she got it. Then I was away and when I came back there were all these thread about how crappy that paper is, how Hillary bought it, it's a majority of women on the editorial board, etc. :eyes:

I've never seen anything quite like what happened tonight before. Well, the Oprah hatin' last weekend wasn't pretty either.

[MonkeyFunk]

39. No it wasn't

that was pretty bad, too.

[tammywammy]

40. What I'll never understand

Do people think that being nasty and attacking/sliming like this is really going to covert anyone on DU to their side?

I mean all these Hillary is a republican, Edwards house is too big, Obama's a crack head, it's just dirty.

Oh well.

And congrats to you on the Hillary endorsement tonight.

[MonkeyFunk]

41. I don't understand it, either

But people seem to treat this like a sports rivalry. They just love the "booyah! In your face!" stuff. It's nonsensical.

Thanks for the congrats. It was a nice surprise (the endorsement, not your well wishes).

[tammywammy]

43. I was a little surprised too

I was thinking Edwards or maybe Biden, since he had a good showing at the last couple of debates.

I don't really put much stock into the whole endorsement thing anyways, I guess that's why all this attacking tonight really shocked me. (Except union endorsements, I think those can really sway people, but a newspaper or celebrity not so much)

[juajen]

55. Thank you, honorable and kind person.

[BenDavid]

42. This endorsement will give the HRC campaign a huge shot in

the arm and more so for the campaign workers. I am sure they all are rejoicing with this endorsement and will make them work harder and make sure everyone gets to the caucus.
Ben David

[Hippo_Tron]

45. Yup, it's called spin and every serious campaign does it

Blame American voters for being so disengaged that they actually fall for it.

[Prophet 451]

46. Good for her, why should I care?

I'd be asking much the same whoever the paper had endorsed: It's nice to be recognised but does this actually make a difference to anyone? Papers rarely endorse anyone here (Britain, although they do quite often say how terrible they think X is) and we seem to elect governments just fine without them.

[hayu_lol]

49. OK, so Obama got the 'Globe' and Hillary got the DMR...

there will be others and the same group will still be with us complaining and whining.

Bottom line on the Hillary Haters is that they cannot stand the thought of a woman being president.

They claim all sorts of reasons, but that is what they are afraid of.

I note also that many of the Hillary Haters also seldom endorse other candidates...their only reason for posting is to distribute their thoughts on Hillary. Wonder what name these folks who repeat their nonsense post under at freerepublic. Are they strictly trolls who need to get smacked down?

If not Hillary, then what other woman would these folks endorse?

[Prophet 451]

50. Wow, that was offensive

The implication that someone must be a sexist, "hater" or closet Republican. The idea that someone might disagree with her policies is completely ignored in favour of the truly moronic assertion that everyone should stand up and salute her simply because she's a woman and a Clinton.

You want a woman I would endorse? OK, Barbara Boxer, Barbara Lee, Tammy Baldwin, Sheila Jackson-Lee and the late, lamented Barbara Jordan.

EDIT: I also couldn't care less if Obama got an endorsement from the Globe, Oprah or the Pope. As mentioned, I'm British and the whole idea that anyone would be swayed by an endorsement is highly unusual here.

[SoxFan]

58. Oh, put a sock in it

I support Obama.

I've also supported:

Jeanne Shaheen for US Senate
Jeanne Shaheen for Governor
Deborah "Arnie" Arnesen for Governor
Betsi DeVries for State Senate
Jane Beaulieu for Mayor
Blanche Lincoln for US Senate
Mary Landrieu for Governor
Mary Landrieu for US Senate

All well qualified Democratic women.

[Perry Logan]

51. The Obamites are nothing if not predictable.

[Perky]

56. You are tight...but og the avtual roles were reversed.....

Clinto supporters would be saying that it was the kiss of death....congratulations.... now lets talk about the Obama endorsement by the the Boston Globe.
