CNN Pundit Calls Hillary the "Newt Gingrich of the Democratic Party" Says Half the Party
hates her.

Will Hillary write a letter to CNN to have this person FIRED?

Will CNN start running hour long biographies of Hillary?

2. I actually agree with you. It was a despicable comment, but when you start
picking out one comment and going to war over it, it leaves you less options to go after the really Egregious ones.

28. Somebody on CNN said Obama was BIN LADEN'S secret BROTHER
I can't remember who said it. But it was somebody.

4. OK you've gone too far. Don't you get that the guy on MSNBC included her daughter?
She hasn't gone after people that fucked with her...

Even when Tweety went WAY over the edge on saying that the only reason she was a senator is because her husband slept around.

don't fuck with people's children to get @ them.

What about that don't you get?

13. That is why bringing in Chelsea into this zoo feels not good to me.
All this time Hillary is hyper protective and the next minute there is Chelsea in her unshielded glory in the middle of the blood bath.

How was this not inevitable?

22. So, you wouldn't campaign for a parent? Doesn't mean they should talk shit about you. COME ON.

20. Can she not campaign for her mother without having disparaging remarks
said about her?

What son or daughter wouldn't campaign for their mother or father?

That doesn't mean they can say that shit about her. She hasn't even really been on camera.

25. People are smashing Michelle Obama for something she didn't even say.
Its par for the course and that is why you need to be tough to be in this game.

How can Hillary be all mama bear when she is the one that is setting up her daughter as target?

32. Your people are accusing her of saying she won't vote for Hillary
when she said she wasn't sure she would campaign for Hillary.

Two different things completely. But she keeps getting smashed for it.

5. oh brother...
Edited on Sat Feb-09-08 07:49 PM by pc1971
honestly, you'd think after all the crap mrs. clinton dealt with when mr. clinton was the president, she'd have a thicker skin to the insults being lobbed at her.

personally, i hope she rises to the occassion and lets this crap slide. she should be the bigger person than those trying to insult her.

on edit...

plus it's not good form to go after someone's kid to get at them. no matter how old the kid is. even the mafia had some rules at targeting the children of other mobsters.

7. Half? It's more like 65% that hate her. And that's Democrats.
She'll make McGovern look like FDR in the election.

9. I heard that comment on CNN, and they're not the first to point out ...
that Hillary has high negatives. God knows Hillary or Bill will attack CNN for it.

So that this kind of brainless drivel will go away.

18. Maddy.. I rarely EVER start threads. I've started two or three today and this
is the only one that had any negativity about Hillary in it. The others were about where you could see Hillary on TV at 8 pm and one on the MSNBC bio. Sorry if that offends you. P2B and REDFISH and other Hillary posters are the ones you should rail at about spamming. Thanks.

30. While I adamantly agree with Skinner's “Post per day” limit...
...there are some who are hoping to see it employed to blunt honest, exuberant candidate advocacy and and serious discussion, as opposed to doing what it's SUPPOSED TO DO—which is to knock back the ridiculous spamming, timed “bot” posts, simple flame-baiting and Pug' trolling/agent provacateurism.

You're hardly a rule-breaker. Don't sweat it. :)

24. Obama's campaign has closer ties to Gingrich
Obama used the health care reform model at the American Enterprise Institute that Gingrich helped write to develop his own health care plan.

Obama's plan was written by advisors from AEI and the Brookings Institution, both conservative think tanks.

If true, and I have no reason to doubt your veracity, this speaks volumes about Obama...

limiting the number of threads will be a welcome change on DU.
