So I Just Heard It On The Ed Schultz Show...."platitudes"

[SoFlaJet]

a Clinton supporter referring to Barack Obama's speaking style. Jeez can't the Clinton campaign come up with ANYTHING original? First they steal Obama's message of "change" and now John McCain's...Hillary Clinton is the new and improved version of Mike Huckabee-working with her "good friend" John McCain like "The Huckster" did for him against Romney...pathetic

[TwilightGardener]

1. Yep--notice McCain does not attack her, but she and McCain are using

the same language all of a sudden--not taking on policy (like Obama is, with NAFTA and lobbyist influence) but just hitting him with the Rove tactic of attacking Obama's strength, his public speaking abilities. It's coordinated. McCain doesn't want to see Obama as nominee, and she doesn't either--and they're old friends. They're trying another Romney squeeze play.

2. Was it an official Clinton supporter, or a caller?

[SoFlaJet]

4. both hnmnf

yea she wants HRC and is "concerned" about the "lack of specific solutions"

[MadBadger]

5. So it was somebody from the campaign.

16. good luck with that "logic"

[yurbud]

3. they are using a 16 year old game plan and we have moved on. It's not enough to be a conservative..

without the fear & hate-mongering.

People had forgotten then that economic and even foreign policy had a direct effect on their lives.

Bush has helpfully reminded us that mishandled properly, those things can have a profound effect on our lives.

6. That was McCain who said that in a speech YESTERDAY!

All that caller was doing was repeating what he heard McCain say about Obama.

In his victory speech after the Potomac primaries, John McCain took several thinly veiled shots at Barack Obama, claiming that offering "only rhetoric" to advance the country "is not the promise of hope. It is a platitute."

12. you obviously didn't hear the call...why?

because it was a she not a he and McCain used the "platitudes" reference on Tuesday night after the primaries

[TexasObserver]

7. Rock Star versus the Old Jaded School Marm. Gee, wonder how this will turn out?!

Hillary is not helping herself with her "Let's put this puppy called HOPE in a bag and toss it into the river, because puppies are trouble!"

Hillary: NO WE CAN'T!!

Helluva campaign theme, isn't it?

[niceypoo]

8. A Clinton supporter is, "the Clinton campaign?"

Meanwhile Obama supporters use Ken Starr talking points

[jackson_dem]

9. A lot of people reach that conclusion after hearing Obama

[Avalux]

10. McCain said the same thing. Now we have Democrats (Hillary supporters) parroting him.

:eyes:

[ElsewheresDaughter]

11. now why would he say that?

n.

1. A trite or banal remark or statement, especially one expressed as if it were original or significant. See Synonyms at cliché.
2. Lack of originality; triteness.

13. her an McCain are going to try to gang up on Obama the same way

as McCain and Huckleberry ganged up on Romney in the Virginia caucus. I believe this is the one where McCain's supporters all went to Huckleberry to defeat Romney...Their tactic is going to backfire. All Obama has to do is paint the image of Hillary and McCain being joined at the hip and he'll defeat both of them.

14. A RW host on FOX radio yesterday compared Sen Obama

to Hitler. The sad thing is that he could have picked that up on DU. Several times over. C&L has the audio: http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/02/15/foxs-tom-sullivan-compares-obama-to-hitler/

[rodeodance]

15. Gee, can't the crying Obamababies be a bit creative? ".pathetic" is your new buzz word--

[stillcool]

18. and "sorry" is Clinton's....

[DemGa]

17. Why? Just call it what it is. Platitudes works fine...nt
