Sorry. Duplicate post. Hillary evokes Al Quaeda. What ELSE do you need to know?
Edited on Mon Jan-07-08 08:16 PM by NoSheep
For Pete's sake! When will democrats learn? And she sobbed and mimicked Edwards'"This is personal" comment. And she's all about Obama's "CHANGE" now. I don't WANT to dislike her, but her words keep reinforcing my gut. She is NOT honest, she is one of "them". She does not support the progressive causes we need championed to turn this country around.

edited because I'm a sorry typist.

1. Sure, why did you spell it "Al Quaeda" ?

27. The DU spell check doesn't pick up on Arabic words.
I've had a problem trying to remember how to spell Abu Graib.

2. I think the word you're looking for is "invokes", and if you think no Dem candidate should mention
terrorism or Al Q then you're living off the friggen' scale.

If this is a duplicate post, then edit to delete all the content.

6. meh. naive people don't push my buttons, they just amaze me.
Don't wet your bed about it.

Realize that if you're going to try and attack a candidate, you should strive to appear sensible. Criticizing a candidate for mentioning those who carried out 9/11 is not sensible.

30. Don't advertise your deficiencies. Hey...just wondering...
do you think all Europeans are pansies?

French are all surrender monkeys?

What other idiotic biases do you proudly hold?

9. Do you have anything other than spelling lessons to offer?
:nopity:

And I duplicated the post because it is important. If you don't get it then you are most likely uninformed. I can see how your heart may be behind Hillary and that these things push your buttons but please listen to what she is saying. This isn't all about you and your opinion. I'm pointing out the plain facts of what she, herself, is saying. She is NOT going to be much different from what we have now.
All the neo-cons have done for the past 8 years is try to scare this country into accepting a fascist regime. I don't accept it and I'm not afraid to fight it. I don't BUY the terrorist scare. We created those people to fight the Russians in Afghanistan. The entire neo-con register is in bed with these people. Why do you think we didn't go after Bin Laden? Where have you been? Can you spell PNAC?

Talk amongst yourselves. Better yet...get a clue.

10. Why are you posting twice to me? Guess I pushed your buttons.
And it's not your spelling, you picked the wrong word entirely.

You need English language lessons.

15. I don't care who you vote for. My only motivation here was
stomping on some ignorance, and hypocrisy.

Mission accomplished.

16. Do you deny she said what she did? That was MY point.
That means something these days which you know as well as I do if you pay attention. I'm not about harping on you. I posted to make sure everyone got that particular piece of information It was the LAST thing I wanted a Democratic Party candidate to say so I posted it and you attacked.

And I DO care who YOU vote for. Whoever it is...I want it to be better than what we have now. I'm concerned she will not be. I don't WANT it to be that way. I'm just pointing out the things that make me concerned. Playing the terrorist card concerns me.

PM me if you want and over the next week if I get the time I'll be happy to send you some links to some info if you need help understanding why it is a scary thing for this country that she said that.

I'm keyed up an excited, yes. Excited and scared. I just hope folks are paying attention. I've been really worried about who she may owe favors to with all the money she has raised and with the media coming out way in advance of any actual votes saying she is the front runner. I don't trust the corporate media. There are so many reasons why we should be concerned about Hillary and any candidate that inherits this office. I tend to think I'm posting to a board of folks where most people keep up with what's going on.

To say I'm ignorant is a joke. You say more about yourself in that statement than you do about me. But I don't want to play that with you. I'd rather discuss the reasons why this concerns me. You aren't pushing MY buttons. I care what you think as well as how you feel. This country matters to me. Your vote matters to me. Your feelings matter to me. I didn't post this to piss you off. I posted it to inform.

It is clearly a serious mistake on my part to assume everyone would immediately understand why I think that mentioning Al Quaeda (or however you spell it) is really important.

17. If you had a point, it got lost in your objectionalbe FR-ish attacks on a Democrat.
Maybe the lesson you can take from this is to not engage in adhominem attacks on individuals and instead focus on your legitimate concerns about their past policy decisions and behavior.

or perhaps she will start saying Osama when referring to Obama.

26. You mean, seeing a human emotion in a person is a positive thing to you?
You and the OP should sit down and have a chat. Maybe there's hope for him.

33. I like that term! Happy Warriors for Change!
And we can expect she will be calling herself a "happy warrior for change" withing 24 hours
And if she means it.. I welcome it(..I'm afraid some people have learned the rovian method of truth bending and double speak all too well. I'd hoped we were above that here.)

What am I saying? It's always been like this: Attack the messenger instead of the message. When do the rules go into effect-or affect...grammar police are about y'know
