EDIT: Never mind. It came from this thread http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4761495

but I guess it doesn't work as it's own thread.

1. It was Nationally Televised
Good enough?

2. except, this wouldn't be viceral enough
and there has been no serious mainstream coverage of a "is hillary secretly a lesbian?" story. if there were, and if she were giving ellen a friendly kiss on the lips, you'd have something somewhat equivalent. i say "somewhat" because because we aren't living in a country which was hit by a major terrorist attack several years ago by gay extremists.

3. Ok, what are you trying to say here?
Walking with Ellen DeGeneres is offensive? To who?

Or is it something I am not seeing, like the thumb sucking older man in the background (probably SS talking into their famous "cuff mikes").

9. Exactly
Why did the Clinton staffer supposedly think the photo of Obama would be on the front of every paper if it were Hillary? Other than to feed into ridiculous right wing insinuations that he's secretly a muslim?

10. Even IF some campaign staffer circulated the Obama photo
which has not yet been proved or disproved...

replying in kind with a photo that says Hillary talks to famous people, even famous and out lesbians... well, that's just so low that I won't dignify this thread with any more posts.

This is just stupid. And it makes you look stupid.

If a Hillary supporter or campaign worker DID circulate that old Obama photo, with the intent of smearing by association Barack as a Muslim or something, let's let that play out a bit and THEY will look foolish and stupid. Responding in kind with this trash is not cool.

5. OMG
The Media has crowned Obama! They slam Hillary at every waking moment.

"If the press really wanted to help Obama, they'd be holding
his feet to the fire now, instead of giving him a foot rub."

6. I Love Ellen
I was a stage manager in ATL in the late 80's. Got to spend a lot time backstage at a comedy club with her.
She is AWESOME!

=)
