MSNBC Is Doing It Again And Pissing Me Off - So-Called Handshake Snub.....
Edited on Wed Jan-30-08 05:55 PM by global1
The are continuing to milk the original picture and not showing the series of pics we've seen here or the one that shows Claire McCaskill talking to Obama. They won't even take Obama at his word. They just keep on fueling the fire. This is gross manipulation and coupled with Hillary's cagey answer as to her offering her hand... - they are going out of their way to sway the publics opinion on this.

They keep showing only the one that makes Obama look bad. This is now coming from Tweety and Hardball.

But this is what we've come to expect out of our MSM & *Co for the last 8 years. Haven't we've had enough of this? Are we ready for another 4 years of Rovian tactics and MSM manipulation?

To me the Media and the Clinton campaign are chanting: 4 more years - 4 more years - 4 more years.......

We need to get this country back on track and poised for the future - but it looks like some want us to stay muddled in the current and the past. God help us.

1. Do you BELIEVE this?!
It's interesting that no one has come up with a videotape to show the entire encounter. A photograph is a fraction of split second of time. The idea that they are using a photo to "prove" some kind of "snub" is absolutely outrageous. The fact that they are STILL talking about this two days after the fact is inexcusable!

2. The Obama camp gave 2 different explanations, I think their word is suspect on this issue n/t

4. And Claire McCaskill has no credibility.
Seeing that she is using right wing talking points against Hillary (i.e: the entire "race card" incident), I do not trust her.

3. You don't honestly believe Obama and McCaskshill do you?
Obama made a bad mistake and the media finally paid attention.
You need to learn to accept the truth. If you don't think it was a big deal - fine. But it did happen.

16. They don't back up Obama's (2nd) excuse that Claire asked him a question.
She seems pretty far away for him to have heard anything.... Looks more like He turned away and there was his BFF to gossip about Hillary....

You know the hillary fans were devasted when after they said that obama turned his back on her, and wasn't talking to anybody, that 5th picture showed up.

17. That shows Obama going towards Claire... it does NOTHING to prove his (2nd) excuse.
Sorry, but I ain't buying this BS from Obamanation.

18. I guess if Hil & Ted shook hands for an hour
Nothing will prove anything to you because all of you have got the biggest sets of blinders ever concocted, bigger than the ones the Bush supporters wear.

:argh:

20. I do not have blinders on. If you don't believe there was a snub, that is one thing
but these photos DO NOT prove Obama's story.

28. "Obamanation"? Why are you resorting to name calling? Could it be
that your argument holds no water? Why was Hillary on Faux News Talking to Chris Wallace?

CLINTON: Well, Chris, I reached out my hand in friendship and unity, and my hand is still reaching out and I look forward to shaking his hand when I see him at the debate in California.

5. This is just a taste of what either candidate can expect. And, they have been tearing
Pres. Clinton apart. Or calling Sen. Clinton "Bilary" which they did on MTP.

The field has been narrowed to the very two we were all told 2 yrs ago would be the Dem nominee.

Now, they're going to play them against each other every chance they get 24/7.

8. There was a way to have avoided all of this.
Obama could have shaken her hand.

Now the only way to avoid it is stop watching television.

The next time Obama sees Hillary, he should sweep her up in a big bear hug, have a staffer cue up "Don't Stop (Thinkin' About Tomorrow)", and dance her around a step or two.

27. Oh, no.
More than likely, she would laugh like a wild person, and it would be over. One could only hope.

14. Well, I guess there gunning for Obama now that they ignored JE out of the
race.

If the MSM can't make the primaries a level field between Obama and Hillary, I WILL cast my primary vote for Obama just because I know the MSM wants Hillary and McCain.

19. I am going to e-mail MSNBC
I suggest everyone does otherwise. They are leaving it to people to make their own speculative judgments, why not base that judgment off all the pictures?

25. I emailed Countdown, Hardball and Abrams. We all should, except Hillary supporters, obviously,
because the truth doesn't matter to them.

33. Of course he did. He nearly got fired because of a coordinated effort to complain
about his coverage of Hillary. He had to apologize and has since been too frightened to say ANYTHING negative about her, or to do anything but annoint her Queen.

23. Not a teevee watcher
Edited on Wed Jan-30-08 06:29 PM by jenmarie
but came across this http://www.theleftcoaster.com/">YouTube of Whoppie Goldberg on "The View" talking about "the snub." I think it's pretty spot on.

Senator Obama's arrogance is what turns many of us off. We've had over 7 years of arrogance in the WH. More than enough, thank you.
