2. Classy, just like that picture of Hillary.

[Jim Sagle]

4. Yer the obvious authoritay on class.

[Stephanie]

3. What happened to you, Jim?

She's full of crap and you know it.

[Jim Sagle]

6. All Hillary hate all the time is what happened.

I'm not even all that wild about her, but to the Obama faction here, every breath she takes is a crime against humanity.

It gets old.

[Stephanie]

8. She's run an abominable campaign.

It's no surprise people have turned against her.

[Missouri Blue]

9. Not a crime against humanity, just buffoonery. Admit it . . .

. . . doesn't it remind me of something Dubya would have done? It's the kind of thing we would have read about in "Top Ten Conservative Idiots."

I think we're all hypersensitive to moron politics now after eight years.

[QC]

11. I feel ya. I've never liked Hillary, but the Hope 'n Change crowd

have got me defending her just because I am so sick of their pathological, all-consuming hatred. The very fact that the woman is alive is an affront to them.

[libnnc]

12. Oh come on. The fact that she does stupid shit is an affront to me.

Appear at the museum. Make a great speech. Shake some hands.

BUT FOR JESUS SAKE DO NOT WALK ON THE BALCONY WITH A FUCKING GRIN PLASTERED ON YOUR FACE AND WAVE LIKE YOU'RE PATTI LUPONE IN EVITA! WHY IS THAT SO HARD TO COMPREHEND?

[roguevalley]

60. please. I just loathe her campaign. as a woman, its embarrassing

that the first possible woman presidential candidate turned out to be such a dork politically.

[libnnc]

5. Grinning like a fucking idiot

Hillary, do you ever THINK about WHERE you ARE?

[roguevalley]

61. fench and saunders rule. forever. on that we can all agree. I am sure. :-D

10. She should fire whoever put her there for that photo op.

Unbelievably poor taste.

[apocalypsehow]

67. I thought so, too. But I've been assured that I just don't "get it," whatever that means.

:shrug:

Your post is spot-on. :thumbsup:

[Noirceuil]

13. The Politics of Hate...

The disgusting, unfair attacks Obama and his cultists continuously perpetrate against Hillary are the reason why most of us plan to vote for McCain or stay home if Obama is the nominee.

[libnnc]

14. baloney

you were going to vote for gramps anyway.

[Noirceuil]

16. I plan to stay home...

if Obama is the nominee, but if you people keep churning out the anti-Hillary hate, I will definitely cast a protest vote for gramps!

[Dr.Phool]

17. Yeah, we're really looking forward to Chief Justice John Yoo.

And Associate Justice Ann Coulter.

[emilyg]

29. That old line won't work anymore.

[libnnc]

18. go ahead and get your kids packed for Iraq then

[emilyg]

31. It's still a volunteer army.

[libnnc]

35. not if gramps gets elected.

[crankychatter]

56. The GOP is accepting registrations

don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out

[Hepburn]

53. And....Obama and his supporters had exactly what part in this?

We forced her onto the balcony and forced her to smile inappropriately and make a fucking fool of herself?

GMAFB...:eyes:

[Liquorice]

15. At least she was there. Obama had a "scheduling conflict." Hmph. nt

[Shakespeare]

19. Yes, following in RFKs footsteps in Indiana.

He didn't need to set up a classless photo op to honor MLK and give a powerful speech on economic and social justice.

"Hmph?" Really?

[Liquorice]

20. If Obama had shown up for the anniversary and Hillary had not,

Obama supporters would have went wild with criticism that she wasn't there. I think it's interesting that Obama gets a pass on things like that.

[Shakespeare]

22. If! If! If! That gets really old, you know. It's also bogus.

That seems to be the Hillary camp's only defense lately. "Well, if it had been the other way around!" Well, it wasn't.

There's nothing for Obama to get a "pass" on. Since when do candidates make a pilgrimage to the Lorraine Motel to pay homage? Barf.

At least Hillary didn't look as bad as McCain did at his photo op. I'll give her that much.

[Stephanie]

23. IMAGINE if Obama had showed up on that balcony laughing and smiling like Hillary did

Try to imagine that...

[Liquorice]

26. I think the Hillary hatred is clouding people's judgment. JMO nt

[libnnc]

24. I'm glad that she was there. But her grinning and waving like a fool

at the very spot where King was murdered was not such a cool gesture. Ya think?

[Liquorice]

28. The thing is that everybody does not see the same situation in the same way. When you

have a clearly negative bias towards someone, you are likely to characterize her as "waving like a fool," but if you like her you would not interpret it in the same way.

[libnnc]

30. well, for someone who was so emotional just

recollecting the first time she heard about his assassination, it is a pretty weird image.

[CoffeeCat]

36. I have to agree...she's come a long way...

...since hurling her backpack across the room.

For someone to account such a strong, visceral reaction to King's death,
and then to stand at the very spot where he died---and wave and smile like you're
on a parade float---is a bit odd.

[greguganus]

64. she always makes me hurl.

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[Hepburn]

54. OK...here's your chance: You spin it as a pro-Hillary person.

Tell all of us what is great, or even OK, about standing on the spot where someone was assassinated on the 40th anniversary of the same and to be photographed waving and smiling.

Here's your chance...to tell all of us why this is a good thing, OK?

[Stephanie]

21. Obama had the good sense not to exploit the MLK anniversary

It's offensive.

[Liquorice]

25. If Obama had attended, you would not have seen it as an exploitive

photo op for him. Some Obama supporters seem to see things through a prism of hatred for Hillary Clinton. Anything she does is evil and wrong. She always has terrible motives. It's just not normal.

[Shakespeare]

27. Oh, bullshit. I'm not an Obama supporter, I do not hate Hillary, and...

...I'm saying it was an offense photo op that showed EXTREMELY poor judgment on the part of whomever on her staff set it up.

Any criticism she gets--and a LOT of it lately is richly deserved--brings cries of "oh, you just hate her!" Total hyperbole on your part. Knock it the fuck off already.

[Liquorice]

32. I disagree. You knock it off. nt

[Shakespeare]

34. Well, you're wrong. Your own response above is exactly what I'm talking about.

Someone registers criticism of Hillary, and the kneejerk response is "Hillary hatred!"

Well, that's bullshit. And it's a weak-assed way to defend your candidate.

[Liquorice]

39. I don't know what your so angry about, but it sure seems as though you are! I don't

see the Hillary photos at Lorraine Motel in the same way that Obama supporters do. I've read a couple of threads in which Obama supporters are trashing Hillary over these photos as if she were the devil for showing up to mark the anniversary. Those photos are clearly in the eye of the beholder because I see nothing wrong with her being there, or with the pictures of her being there. That hardly seems a reason to start swearing at people. Jeez.

[BornBlue]

57. You have to see them through human eyes.

Would you go to the place where a civil rights leader was assainated 40 years ago to the date, stand in the same spot smile and waive, or would you go to that same spot with a somber expression on your face? It is as bad as Bush smiling when he talks about war. In the words of Lewis Black, um Mr. President when you talk about war you have to have a frowny face.

[ampad]

33. Your making too much sense for some Clinton supporters

The fact that he didn't go there to exploit MLK death says quite a bit about him. McCain and Hillary need to stop with their crap. McCain voting against MLK holiday then had the nerve to say he didn't fully understand MLK legacy. Hillary secretly telling super D's that Obama cannot win because he is black then she takes a fucking picture smiling and waving on the very spot that MLK died, whatever. MLK had a dream and I'm sure part of that dream was to see us black folks achieve just as much as our white counterparts. Hillary spit on the legacy of King by going behind the scene telling super delegates that a black man cannot win this nomination. I bet MLK would say different if he was alive to see just how far Obama has come. That picture leaves a bad taste in my mouth but not as much as knowing that while she is standing there waving like a dufus she is secretly hoping that racism will turn the super D's to her.

[rainbow4321]

47. Showing up is one thing..showing up to smile/wave/looking giggly

makes one an ignorant, pandering, self-centered fool.

So in addition to misspeaking, we will now have missmiled, miswaved, and mislaughing.

[JCMach1]

37. And how about Obama's pathetic Bill Cosbyesque responsibility

speech on the anniversary of King's assassination? He is usually good... this was the worst speech I have seen him give.

Hillary, in contrast, gave a great speech and appeared very fresh and eloquent.

[F.Gordon]

38. OMFG!!!! Clinton killed MLK??!!!!

Hey Night Stalker... the "motel" is part of a Civil Rights Museum.

http://www.civilrightsmuseum.org/about/history.asp

You can get more rec candy if you post a thread about how much you Hate Clinton.
:hi:

[Stephanie]

40. She's a very bad candidate, with very bad taste, and an even worse agenda

She's incredibly insincere. She reveals herself all the time. This is one of those times. Give it up.

[F.Gordon]

41. You got all that from Hillary visiting a Museum?

I am humbled.

[libnnc]

42. a museum that just happens to be the place where

an icon was slaughtered in broad daylight.

Someone whose death supposedly made Hillary so emotional that she threw her book bag across her dorm room.

And now 40 years later, she's making like Patti Lupone in Evita... :eyes:

[Mimosa]

43. Tone Deaf!!!!!!!!!

Please. That motel room isn't an exhibit at Disney World, is it? Hillary for Panderer in Chief!

[Joe the Revelator]

52. To pretend its "just a museum" is insulting to MLK,and people with more then 2 brain cells.

[bowens43]

44. This isn't photoshopped?

She's really that fucking stupid? I knew she wasn't anywhere near as bright as the bots make her out to be but this is ridiculous.

[OneBlueSky]

45. with a smile and a wave, no less . . . absolutely clueless . . .

one would think that a public figure visiting the site of such an immense tragedy would be pious, somber, reflective . . . if only to respect the memory of Dr. King . . .

if this is an example of Sen. Clinton's judgement, she has no business in the Oval Office . . .

[shayes51]

46. At least she was there, Sweetie.

[democrattotheend]

48. I give her credit for that. Although I am kind of glad Obama wasn't.

Especially seeing those pictures side by side, I think Obama standing in that same spot would have felt kind of eery.

[workinclasszero]

49. Smiling and waving to the cameras

at the very spot that MLK was gunned down.

Wow...just wow.

I guess it is all about Hillary, isn't it?

[Marrah_G]

50. If she had cried or looked solemn you would have filleted her on that too.

Pathetic.

[TexasObserver]

51. Grinning like a Cheshire cat. Totally inappropriate for time and place.

Makes the book bag story even more unlikely to be true.

It's difficult to imagine Hillary getting upset about anything that doesn't involve Hillary and her wishes. Thankfully, her 15 minutes will be over by July.

[Catherine Vincent]

55. This is all that needs to be said....

[shayes51]

58. Thank you.

[Orsino]

59. Yes. Despite the meme that says she was "grinning like a fool" throughout the visit...

...she seems well able to put on the requisite mourning/pensive face. I don't begrudge her a smile and a wave, though out of context they can be made to make her look...well, any way the haters want.

I believe that it might have been a slight misstep--could she not have waited to stand in another spot of less historical significance? But I'll guarantee she wasn't the only one to smile up there that day. It's been forty years, fools; we can mourn King's passing and celebrate his example and accomplishments. I can't tell people how to feel out one snapshot out of many, but even a carpetbagger politician's photo-op is not necessarily in bad taste.

[Joe the Revelator]

63. You celebrate his "example and accomplishments" all over the south, not at the site he was gunned

down at. There is NO excuse, and no picture that will excuse her goober grin walking out of the King-Abernathy suite.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

62. "It takes a president to get things done."

-Hillary Clinton, on the legacy of MLK

"I was pinned down by sniper fire."

-joke from Hillary Clinton, hours before visiting site of MLK's assassination by sniper fire.

[DrFunkenstein]

65. Like Tap Dancing at a Holocaust Museum

This is an iconic location that represents ground zero for one of the greatest traumas in recent American history. I doubt she's racist, but this certainly doesn't help her in the mind-numbingly ignorant category.

Personally, I think it is in poor taste to celebrate the anniversary of someone's murder, but I try not to be too uppity about these kinds of things.

[ksoze]

66. you got some balls using pictures of MLK's death

to do your bashing. How about some 911 photos with Hillary smiling at some point in NYC. You pick one photo of her trip there where she waves to the screaming crowd below and try and build a case of..what? I would suggest you attempt not use assassination pictures to make your points. You are a sick puppy.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

68. Yes, yes he is.

[QC]

69. All that needs to be said about the desperately phony outrage on display in this thread:
