CNN Is SLAMMING Hillary!

[JimGinPA]

Unbelievable!

[WA98296]

1. Details! I'm still glued to KO

[JimGinPA]

5. They Think Her Speech Was Disrespectful At Best

[WA98296]

12. It certainly was.

[mikiturner]

45. They are ripping her to shreds

Wow.

[hogwyld]

58. Finally!

They've given her a free ride the whole primary. It's about time they reveal who she really is!

[whistle]

The media horse-shit throwing has to stop

[Hugabear]

32. It will stop once Hillary stops fighting her impossible fight

At this point, it's pretty obvious that this is all about her, not what's best for the party.

[cui bono]

35. WEll it keeps getting thrown in their lap by Hillary.

[OhioChick]

2. At this point...

I find it to be very deserving.

[YDogg]

3. "we're in the midst of another clinton family drama"

[otohara]

26. Ain't That The Truth

Hillary "Sybil" Clinton

[TwilightGardener]

4. "Deranged narcissism". Best line of the night. Thank you Jeffrey Toobin.

[JimGinPA]

11. Really! He Is Normally Very Balanced...

She screwed up.

[Avalux]

22. He blurted it out and his voice was an octave higher -

he couldn't help saying it. Yay Toobin!

[polichick]

13. Wow, he actually said that?!

[Avalux]

17. I can't believe he said that! Awesome.

And he's completely correct; after the email saying this should be HER night. WTF? If she were a man, no one would say it should be HIS night.

[Coexist]

24. I was stunned that he said that - he is gonna get slammed by Hillary supporters tomorrow!

[HooptieWagon]

49. No worries...

"under the bus" is all filled up.

[K Gardner]

44. Damn.. I missed it ! Thanks for the update ! CNN doing a MUCH better job.

[Misskittycat]

57. Loved that line.

[Ice-9]

60. Here's coverage from one of the Atlantic's bloggers

Worst moment of TV commentary (that I can think of at the moment)

Gloria Borger just now on CNN, reading credulously from a Hillary-supporter email saying that this "needed to be her night" and thus it was OK for her to perform the way she did.

Best moment: Jeffrey Toobin's instant, unscripted, "What are you TALKING ABOUT???" response, saying that except for the "deranged narcissism of the Clintons" the point would be that she had lost and Obama had won and it was time for her to step aside. That was "hard" on her, but elections are hard. It was no picnic for Bob Dole or George HW Bush or Paul Tsongas or Jerry Brown when Bill Clinton beat them, either, but that is life and they didn't try to stay on stage. This last part is me talking, but it's what Toobin implied.

6. I quit watching cnn

they may want her out to focus on the nominee

that is remarkable... I'll catch reruns if I wake up at three AM

if the phone's not ringing, that'll be ok with me

[jefferson_dem]

7. Gergen and Toobin have been relentless on her since that speech...

Rightly so.

They are saying she missed a potentially great moment, which she tried to make about her.

Color me NOT surprised.

[polichick]

21. I'm glad they're speaking the truth - it was a shameful moment for the party imo.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

29. the truth won out.

after that, I saw Terry McAwful on the daily show. it was actually funny.

[MichiganVote]

8. What's new?

[Melancholic Toaster]

9. And Rush always called it "Clinton News Network"

:rofl:

[BuyingThyme]

10. CNN's Carl Bernstein just lost about ten million dollars.

He thought he had written the definitive biography on the first female major-party presidential candidate.

He picked the wrong subject.

[crankychatter]

34. I kinda like that guy.... thanks for giving me ONE reason to mourne Clinton's EPIC FAILURE - nt

.

[saltpoint]

14. She plays the petulant victim; she gets the correspondent flack.

Her speech this evening was a big political mistake on her part, IMO.

[otohara]

28. Opinion Pages Across America - Will Slam Her

Mo Dowd, Bob Herbert, just today our paper who endorsed her said get out gracefully Hillary, unite. Of course we're in Denver and the thought of the Clinton army of angry voters coming to what was supposed to be a historic celebration, could now be a mess.

[saltpoint]

46. It would be nice if someone close to her could lay out the cards on

the table in front of the woman.

She appears somewhere along the line to have forgotten her manners.

[Samantha]

38. She stabbed herself in her political heart

and so the true bleeding begins. She has no one to blame but herself. Her version eventually, however, will read that Obama did it.

[saltpoint]

48. Hi, Samantha. Agree. She took the knife up in her own fingers and

rammed it home deep and true.

I'm really up to here with her sqawking "Victim! I"m a Victim!!" all the time.

Sheesh.

[Ichingcarpenter]

15. Remember the Guy behind Hillary in her West Virginia speech?

They showed him on late night with Jimmy Gimble ....... he was behind her tonight again in New York.

I just saw it.

18. EVERY FUCKIN DEMOCRAT SHOULD BE!

[Doityourself]

19. Mostly Gergen and Toobin saying she's only focused on herself...

[ErinBerin84]

20. I usually don't watch CNN, but i had turned it on too

They all seem pretty exasperated , I definitely agree with the "she robbed herself from what could have been a great moment from her". Lol at them saying " Oh, well we're getting emails from Clinton supporters saying that it WAS the perfect moment..."

[bridgit]

23. pft, right, like that's news...

[JimGinPA]

25. CNN Has Practically Been Taking Dictation From Her Campaign

[BklynChick]

27. Jeffrey Toobin, "deranged narcissim" spot on!

[El presidente]

30. Who's CNN?

Do you mean someone at CNN?

[jespwrs]

31. CNN

Is a joke of a news network. As an Obama supporter, I could say the same thing as you are about CNN. They have some halfway decent people on sometimes, but CNN will always drive to sell the ads and bring home the ratings. They like to dabble in the news and ride people's emotions like money waves.

[jespwrs]

33. But

I have to say "deranged narcissism" is a great phrase to describe the Clintons at this point.

[apocalypsehow]

36. Her disgraceful refusal to help her Party and (more importantly) her country by conceding deserves

a good deal of "slamming."

[vaberella]

37. You know what's crazy...I get the feeling the Clinton Camp (not supporters) might say it's Obama's

fault for themn getting flack. I can't forget how it turned on Obama for what Clinton said. As for the CNN thing was it me or did you not hear "deranged narcisism."

[woolldog]

39. Toobin said her speech was evidence of "deranged narcisism"

I kid you not.

[hokies4ever]

40. I died laughing at that comment

:rofl:

[americanstranger]

41. He pretty much pegged it.

She won't hear the end of this for a while, I'm thinking.

- as

[angee_is_mad]

42. It's about TIME!!!!

I guess I can go back to watching CNN now.

[stillcool]

56. I don't think so...

the 'media' only does this kind of stuff, when they are sure it's safe. I think there will be a floodgate of shit about the Clinton's, and it won't be any favor to the Democratic Party.

[hokies4ever]

43. Hillary deserved that slamming

They really painted her as a bitter old woman trying to crap on Obama's historic win. Carville was a sniffling little weasel as always.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

47. STOP THE PRESSES!! The Clinton News Network is trashing their own??!?! n/t

[Tinksrival]

50. Thanks for the heads up

Oh I couldn't wait to switch Tweety off. KO looked exasperated!

[Phx_Dem]

51. Maybe

we should start thanking Clinton for being such a horse's ass. She's destroying her reputation and any chance at a meaningful position in the OBMAMA ADMINSTRATION baby.

Keep it up Hilly, We dig it. :hippie:

[hendo]

52. I hope someone posts it. i don't have cable n/t

[gal]

53. As they should, she was very disrespectufl to Obama.

Her staff also emailed CNN and said tonight was about her. Hmmm it always is isn't it?

[hendo]

54. I hope someone posts it. i don't have cable n/t

[BlooInBloo]

55. Still?

:P

[Douglas Carpenter]

59. Only a few hours ago I wrote a post urging people to understand that Hillary is really not so bad

Hillary was narcissistic, shameless, classless, treacherous.............

Only a few hours ago I wrote a post urging people to understand that Hillary is really not so bad and perhaps she wouldn't be that bad of a V.P.nominee:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=6251816&mesg_id=6251816

Her shameful behavior has left me completely speechless

[Condem]

62. My feelings exactly, Douglas

I'm embarrassed by my posts the last week, calling for a unity ticket. Fuck that.

[ericgtr]

61. She asked for it by holding the party hostage!

Screw her.
