Calling Obama a fraud is like calling Hillary a war monger
Edited on Mon Feb-18-08 09:26 PM by RiverStone
Both statements would be unmitigated bullshit!

Do we really want to tear up the party with this divisive crap?

The MSNBC headline story on the evening news tonight not only included that Obama did not site a couple of sentences from his Boston friend's speech, but that Hillary did the same damn thing when she forgot to site Bill's words (from 2 years ago) in a speech she gave recently.

In both cases - it is no BIG DEAL!!!

Geez, our candidates are human - humans make mistakes. Some carry a lot more weight than others. I don't think Hillary is a war monger for voting for the IWR; though she made a mistake. I don't think Obama is a fraud because he forgot to site a few sentences; though he made a mistake.

We really don't want to get into a battle of who the biggest fuck up is now do we?

Yea, the pukes would love to sit back and watch that! :popcorn:

Why eat our own when we have far, far more important battles to fight?

ON EDIT: To add - my OP's main point is we can all crawl in the gutter and get a hell of a lot nastier if we wanted to --- but why do that?

2. I'm sorry, but I do have a problem with Hillary voting for war for political reasons.

7. I'm not defending her vote, but she is not on the same level as Shrub.

And I say that as an Obama supporter.

My OP point is we can all crawl in the gutter and get a hell of a lot nastier and what good would it do?

People need to see that there are disruptors among us who love to throw rocks at hornets nests - just for the hell of it.

13. I am neither a lier nor brain dead.
I have done my homework. You need to do yours. And for the record I am not for Obama either, even though I think he is a slightly better choice. Hillary is too far to the right to repair much of the damage bu$h has done these last 7 years. And she is NOT against the war. This country needs to stop its war mongering ways.

15. How about commenting on the subject... What? You can't because
you have no facts to back up your argument?
Reality proves you wrong? So you besmirch the messenger instead? Tsk...,tsk...,tsk...

8. GD:P is hate central until the primaries are over. We'll be lucky if it stops then.
Look at the first few responses here. Some people just love being jerks. It gets them off.

10. Oh fer fucks sake....
Now do I call Hillary names too?

NO!

Obama makes a small mistake and now he is labeled a fraud?

Talk about people being on a seek and destroy mission....

Do you want to get into that kind of malicious playground fight?

It only hurts ALL of us.
