Delightful video clip of Hillary mocking Obama's unrealistic rainbows and puppy dogs rhetoric!

[MethuenProgressive]

I was recently reminded of what a great moment for the Democratic Party this was!
A wake up call, a SNAP OUT IT! call, was sent to the bedazzled.
You might've seen a short edited clip of this, but this clip has the rest of her remarks, with commentary about the "unrealistic" and "naive" Obama by the CNN reporters.

1. So when he wins the nomination

are you going to leave, or just hang out in the lounge?

[MethuenProgressive]

2. We Democrats will stay. The HillHaters will leave, one way or the other.

[Yael]

4. I can't wait to see your posts of support of our candidate

although I know they will be from balled up fists and clenched teeth.

:popcorn:

[LakeSamish706]

6. Whats one way or the other? n/t

[MethuenProgressive]

19. 1) without Hillary to hate they'll have nothing to say, and 2) since they're not really Democrats,

...they'll go elsewhere and support McCain against the weaker Democratic candidate they helped select as an opponent.

[Cooley Hurd]

3. ...or a suicide watch?

:D

[Why Syzygy]

14. If Hillbeans should steal the nomination

I will leave. I will leave DU and the Democratic Party FOREVER. I will NEVER vote for another Democrat as long as I live.

Betray me once, shame on you, betray me twice, won't get betrayed again.

[phrigndumass]

5. Damn! We got caught playing a 30-second soundbite instead of the whole clip!

Deja vu.

[DefenseLawyer]

7. Yeah just delightful

And the Clinton/Rove brand of 51%, no holds barred, fight to the death, cynical politics has served us so well.

[dchill]

8. It is hard to believe that you could possibly think...

that this video portrays your candidate in any kind of positive light.

[MethuenProgressive]

10. "A wake up call, a SNAP OUT IT! call, was sent to the bedazzled."

You don't really believe BO will ride down from the rainbow on his unicorn handing out free puppys and angel feathers, do you? Her mocking the ObamaBots, and Obama, was spot on.

[dchill]

17. That is a false argument.

All the video shows is a resentful, jealous individual. She has not the charisma, so, like the states she didn't win, it is to be deflated. Look at her - deflated is as deflated does.

[Yes We Did]

25. Do you always have to stoop to name calling and utter pettiness?

I have yet to see a thread where you DON'T get petty or call people names. I understand that is how your candidate works, but once in a while it would be nice to NOT read something snarky from you.

[otohara]

30. It's Snapped Me Right Out of Ever Thinking She

was remotely likable.

So you may want to think she did this to snap us out of some crazy spell we are under, but it turned out to be the beginning of the end for many of us who would have been proud to support either candidate. If it's even remotely possible she actually pulls out a legitimate win, I would vote for her, but not with the pride I had when this campaign first started.

[Laurab]

43. If only she had spent that time mocking McCain.

She may not have lost so much respect - she might even still be a viable candidate. That video makes her seem like a desperate, petty, and even jealous, person.

I've never been "bedazzled" by Obama, but I've been impressed. No so with Hillary.

[Tellurian]

87. A quote from Rev Wright equates Obama the "Second Coming"..in the flesh..

http://www.tucc.org/pdf/rey_5-2006.pdf

"Our hope is not built on faith-based dollars, empty liberal
promises or veiled hate-filled preachments of the so-called
conservatives. Our hope is built on Him who came in the
flesh to set us free." - Pastor Jeremiah Wright

[book_worm]

9. Sorry but this clip really angered me. I think it probably helped among her partisans

but it didn't do a thing with Obama supporters except anger them because of the way she portrays us. I also don't think it helps with indpendent minded voters either.

[MethuenProgressive]

12. No one likes being mocked,

especially if the arrow strikes close to the heart.
I think she was spot on.

22. of course that is just an opinion

and it could be said that Hillary supporters also are dewey-eyed for their candidate. One of her biggest supporters, Carville, called Richardson a "Judas" for endorsing Obama. Does that mean he equates Hillary with Christ?

[MethuenProgressive]

37. Well, I've called Obama a Judas Goat...

...of course that's way over the heads of most Baaaaarack supporters.

[Why Syzygy]

79. That's the obvious conclusion. Like we didn't know that.

Hillary JC

[Shakespeare]

44. I gave a substantive rebuttal to your nonsense--and it was deleted.

Most interesting.

Very interesting, in fact. There was no personal attack--merely a comment that refusing to acknwoledge that BOTH CANDIDATES give sound, detailed speeches and policy proposals makes one look like a vicious jackass. No matter how hysterically you want to alert on that, it's not a personal attack.

[redqueen]

47. Agreed. There was nothing against the rules in that response that I saw.

On the contrary, it was much more substantial and reasonable than a thread like this filled with insults like this deserves.

Maybe it was deleted by mistake.

:wtf:

[Shakespeare]

49. Thanks. Heaven forbid I make a statement in favor of unity.

Which is EXACTLY what it was (with the specific point that both candidates' proposals are so sound and detailed that we'll have no trouble beating McCain in the GE).

Unfuckingbelievable.

[MethuenProgressive]

70. Nice CYA edit.

:hi:

[Shakespeare]

71. No, I corrected one typo. Note the time stamp.

My edit clocked in at under 60 seconds after my original post. I stand by every single word in that post, AND the one that was (wrongly) deleted.

Don't let the truth get in the way of your viciousness and snark, though.

edited to add: specifically, I edited the post to correct a coding error where the boldface is. So what, exactly, do you have a problem with?

[bowens43]

11. so in your opinion hillary being an asshole is delightful?

[MethuenProgressive]

13. Since she was mocking you, you have a right to be fearful and unnerved.

But her intent was to help you snap out of it.

[Why Syzygy]

16. She can sit on a Unicorn horn.

So she's playing shrink? Trying to SNAP us? I hate her more every day!

[wileedog]

18. The fact that she condescendingly feels I need to

snap out of anything is enough. I really had no problem with her coming into this race, but I just absolutely despise her and her incompetence now.

[redqueen]

15. She sure can knock down those strawmen!

Magic wand... right.

Is anyone stupid enough to think this crap is meaningful?

[Why Syzygy]

23. Yeah. It proves over and over that she is a wicked BITCH.

She gives Bitch a bad name. Really. It's too good for her.

[Yes We Did]

26. See Methuen... this is what you inspire.

[MethuenProgressive]

33. I see the mass o-mail has gone out.

The mods are getting mass PMs right about now.
Sorry mods, they know not what they do.

[redqueen]

28. That's ugly. She is acting in a very pathetic manner though.

She should fire her campaign. I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume it's them making her look this ridiculous.

[MethuenProgressive]

24. Snap out of it, Red!

:hi:

[redqueen]

29. Snap out of what?

Preferring actual discourse to silly strawmen about magic wands?

Her rhetoric is not persuasive. The way she's been acting is downright embarrassing. I don't see anything appealing about her campaign at all, at this point. I don't know what their strategy is supposed to be going for, but one thing I do know is it's just sad.

[Rubiconski2009]

21. The Clintons and the GOP have been looking hard for something to use against Obama...

....but all they could come up with is something that someone else said.

Obama continues to impress me more everyday. People try to characterize him and he takes it head-on. It's no wonder he is leading and I for one will not be surprised when he trounces McMore-war in the fall. This country is ready for a real leader and people (the intelligent ones) are ready to take this country in a new direction by starting to clean up the mess of the bush-league years.

[Bonobo]

27. She's wearing her "Charlie Brown suit" in that video. I like it!

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

31. I like when she ducks the sniper fire. that's awesome.

[berni_mccoy]

32. Only the damned can mock the hopeful. And Hillary *is* damned... check out this pic

[Skip Intro]

40. Look at these!

[berni_mccoy]

48. I can show the same pics of any senator with Bush or McCain. But Scaife?! He funded the initial

impeachment investigation into Clinton. She's meeting with Scaife ABOUT HER CAMPAIGN. It shows that she is willing to give ANYTHING, including her principles, to get elected. I'm sorry you aren't able to see that.

[Skip Intro]

34. LOOK: Obama said the same thing himself: "a beam of light will come down upon you..."

"My job this morning is to be so persuasive...that a light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany, and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Barack,"

http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9845595-7.html


that kinda creepy stuff needs to be mocked - and Hillary cracked me up when she did it, but he was talking that way first...

[redqueen]

38. He was joking.

About his own candidacy.

What she's doing is not joking, and she's not playfully doing so with her own supporters... she's mocking the supporters of the candidate that is beating her six ways to Sunday.

[MethuenProgressive]

41. I don't think all these Obama followers knew that's what she was mocking, Skip

Perhaps the universal lack of knowledge about BO is why they seen to get so upset when people (like Hillary in that clip) mock his messianic act?

[Skip Intro]

53. I think you might be onto something there... nt

[Why Syzygy]

80. I've seen it.

He is smiling, joking with the audience. He inspires people. GET OVER IT.

That is not a nasty crime as Hellbent would have us believe. People LIKE it.
All she inspires is ANIMOSITY, by her own evil devices.

THAT'S why she mocks him. He has something she will never have. It's really the classic hero story. And Hillary is the evil jealous witch.

[not_too_L8]

35. Ridicule is never the answer...K&R

This just shows how small minded Hillary can be

[redqueen]

36. I gotta ask - are you secretly AGAINST Hillary?

Because IMO this portrays her in a very negative light, and does more to drive up her negatives than anything else.

[ProSense]

39. "Delightful" mocking?

Sheer idiocy!

[MethuenProgressive]

46. Mocking BO's Messianic Complex might be a little unkind, but until his friends stage an intervention

perhep humor might help him snap out of it.
That'd be ven more delightful!

This is the moment I became an Obama supporter, thanks for reminding me

I was on the fence and thought either one would be great. My son was an Obama guy. She mocked him. This momma bear joined her cub and sent money to Obama.

If you think this helps Clinton you are wrong. It hurt her.

Hillary is digging her own grave.

[jefferson_dem]

45. Hideous display by Hillary.

I'm glad voters are rejecting her bullshit and she'll soon be "kicked to the curb" for good.

[MethuenProgressive]

50. Thanks for the kick!

:hi:

[jefferson_dem]

54. My pleasure.

Good luck defending...that.

:hi:

[redqueen]

62. Let me add another.

:kick:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

51. It's unfortunate and surprising that Hillary doesn't understand framing.

Obama, whether you agree with his approach or not, positioned himself as the "hope and change" candidate.

Hillary, by coming out against that tactic, inadvertently framed herself as *against* hope and change.

I realize she wanted to highlight her "experience" versus Obama's charisma, but the way she want about it, and particularly in this clip, ended up backfiring on her because of her mockery of him and his message.

[MethuenProgressive]

57. Obama framed it as though a Female President wouldn't be a Change.

He's got mad skills.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

58. When that female President is the wife of an ex-President, it really isn't.

[MethuenProgressive]

64. He worked his magic on you, I see.

Mad skills, I say.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

66. No, "magic" is imagining sniper fire all around you.

[redqueen]

75. Or...

it could be hubris... thinking that nobody would call her on it... or that if they did, she wouldn't have to answer for it honestly.

[Occam Bandage]

52. A delightful video clip of Bill Richardson endorsing Barack Obama!

[40ozDonkey]

60. K&R this turning point in history - HRC inventing the pyrrhic defeat.

Way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, Hillemmings.

[GodlessBiker]

61. It's very presidential to turn people's hopes and dreams into a dead puppy. Rock on, Cruella.

[MethuenProgressive]

68. Biker... I hate to brake it to you.. but BO was BSing you about that puppy.

Not even He can make it rain puppies.

[GodlessBiker]

69. Of course. But Clinton can suck the love out of a puppy, that's for sure.

[Citizen Kang]

63. it must suck

to be so cynical all the time.

[scheming daemons]

65. That clip is part of the reason she has a 37% favorable and a 48% unfavorable rating.....

...but you Hillary supporters keep putting it out there.


:eyes:

[MethuenProgressive]

67. Is that among "typical white people"?

Or "God DAMN America" in general?

[redqueen]

72. Kick.

Don't want anyone to miss this!

:kick:

[anonymous171]

76. She polls well among those who have had to dodge sniper fire.

[MethuenProgressive]

82. kick!

:kick:

84. Clinton/Richardson 08?

Do you know what year it is?
Do you know what day of the week it is?
Do you know who is President of the United States?
Is there emergency mental health available in your area? 911!

[ieoeja]

73. K&R n/t

[Georgie_92]

74. She's disgusting.I am embarassed for her.

[ecstatic]

77. I saw a troubling sexist picture today...

I'm just posting it to alert people to the dangers of misogyny.

:evilfrown:

[40ozDonkey]

78. I better right click and save that, to educate others.

Shameful, honestly.

[greguganus]

83. ...and "The List" gets bigger...n/t

[MethuenProgressive]

86. Which list? The Pi in the Sky one?

I'd never belong to a site where calling Hillary a c--t is allowed.
You can have it.

[AZBlue]

85. You think it was delightful? How sad.
