Obama supporters....
Wasn't it just a few days ago that you belittled some protesters that picketed in NYC against MSNBC for biased coverage of Hillary? Didn't you show pictures of cows and make fun of them by showing pictures of cows in pastures? You belittled their numbers and had thread after thread mocking them. I find your outrage a little too late now that it has happened to your candidate. It was OK when the media was asking Hillary stupid questions but with Obama in the media hot seat now your attitude sure have changed. I smell hypocrisy. It wasn't OK then and it isn't OK now.

1. Apples and oranges.
The ABC debate really was biased against Obama.

7. The FACT is BO bombed.
He stumbled, fumbled, and then grumbled. He had no clue about how to answer the OBVIOUS questions that any rational human being would KNOW were coming his way. :nuke:

10. No, that's your imagination.
Actually, probably just your wishes.

I don't think you actually believe that.

Let me make it clearer.

I don't believe you.

8. And MSNBC is biased against Hillary.
But you didn't care then about fairness.

15. No, they're not.
If MSNBC were asking Hillary Clinton why she killed Vincent Foster, what she did with all that Whitewater loot, or if Bill slept around because she's not any good in bed, then maybe it'd be comparable.

25. That's bullshit. KO and Matthews have been biased every night for the last
several months. That's just plain bullshit for you to say.

37. Buchanan has been pro Hillary, until last night. He seems to have changed. ...
Even Buchanan can recognize a fraud, and that's what last night's debate was.

17. In my opinion, the debate WAS biased...
but not so much against Obama as the entire Democratic party, and populism in particular. The debate will not help either candidate, but it could drive Hillary's negatives higher. The people (meaning the middle class and lower) are the ones most injured by the Disney Debate.

4. What is it about inane questions while ignoring the issues
Edited on Thu Apr-17-08 06:41 PM by Yael
that seems to be escaping so many of you.

I am as ticked that they put SniperGate in front of Iraq, healthcare and the economy as I am WrightGate, AyersGate, BitterGare and FlagPinGate.

Obama handled the night just fine, IMO.

9. It doesn't matter. Clinton supporters just want every Democrat treated as bad as Clinton has been...
... One might have thought that Clinton supporters would want NO Democrats treated by press as Clinton has been - but this would be a mistake. Clinton supporters really enjoy any Democrat receiving the same treatment. They've joined with the rightwingers in this - just like they both want to defeat Obama in the general election.

.... and told them how wrong they all are.

32. No, I was pointing out the turn Obama supporters have taken
when just a few days ago they were trashing protesters by calling them cows. I don't like any media bias and I don't want them deciding who our candidate will be. I still don't like Obama but that doesn't mean I want biased coverage.

30. Being critical of a lapel pin and knowing a member of the weathermen is equal to..........
voting for Iraq war and then saying you were against it all along, or pushing these stupid 3am ads and then having your spouse make the argument that it was 11pm at night and you didn't know what you were saying but we should trust you to answer the phone in a crisis at 3am?

I'm sorry, but not wearing a lapel pin didn't get 4000 of our young soldiers killed.

36. Yes, and he should until the whole party grows a spine.........
if the soldiers are there, then they should be well funded and have the proper equipment, like up armored humvees and body armor, so as to bring them back home safe. I fault every member of our party for not doing enough to bring them home, but I hold a special place in my own personal hell for the members of my party that sent them there in the first place.

16. If Hillary got nailed like Obama: stammering, meandering, weak
they would be endlessly laughing it up.

There is something in this -- that causes severe irrationality.

21. I am so fucking sick of this shit...
Was making fun of the Hillary supporters kinda childish? Yeah, probably, but the bigger point is the media keeps doing it over and over again to BOTH candidates! Maybe if we could all crawl out of the fucking sandbox long enough we would realize that this election cycle sucks balls no matter who you support. It won't make me feel any better in November if I have to watch John McCain become president because the media has damaged BOTH of our candidates beyond repair and we just sat around like rednecks in a pissing contest going "How's it taste bitch, not so funny when it happens to YOUR candidate"...fucking nauseating! :rant:

45 minutes on wright, bittergate, and tulza were just stupid.

31. Why are you people refusing to embrace our candidate?
Why do you mindlessly, selfishly insist upon forcing the minority candidate down the throats of the voters? Obama is our candidate.

Obama was eviscerated last night -- look at real journalists and their reviews. You will see. Hillary's pouting has been nothing but her usual bullshit posturing.

38. and if
Hillary is the candidate, in some alternate timeline, and in an October debate against McCain she gets it like Obama did last night, (and you know it'll happen) and you come to DU to complain about whatever network did it, what do you expect people here to say?
