I just watched Clinton on Bill O's and I have to say: SHE ROCKED!!!!

[Evergreen Emerald]

Dang she is impressive. She gave it to him with every question. She did not allow him to get away with anything, and was obviously very knowledgeable about the issues, about history and about what we need in America.

Way to go Clinton!

[OHdem10]

6. Great! She is reaching across the isle. What did they think of Obama?

Wasn't he on fox? Or are we still in the doublestandardworldofDUwherewhenObamadoesitangelssingandwhenclintondoesitthedevilsings?

[Cali_Democrat]

17. Reaching across the isle? LOL!!!!

She has been using using Rovian campaign tactics and she said that she would obliterate Iran. That woman hasn't reached across the isle, she has turned republican-lite in order to defeat Obama.

[k8conant]

23. isle = island, you must mean aisle...

or maybe not.

[enki23]

29. You know, to the other tribe.

This is the new millennium. All metaphor, allegory, simile, colloquialism, and other such fanciful linguistic turns are legally required to be referenced to reality television. Similarly, "thrown under the bus" actually refers to a little-known American Gladiator named "Bus."

[Hutzpa]

74. Your idea of reaching across the isle

and Obamas are completely different, I can tell from your thinking
that yours is to sell your fellow Democrats out where as Obamas
is to work with them.

but don't let me spoil your party.

[Catchawave]

71. Such hate, FC, such hate.......

:cry:

[flowomo]

2. I only watched part of it... but I have to agree...

she was terrific. She had quick and detailed answers for every stab O'Reilly made; she handled him easily. Her comment about Moses was clever and hilarious. I know she's widely hated here on DU, but the fact is she was impressive.

[Evergreen Emerald]

4. She was impressive. And she owned BillO.

She showed that she is smarter and more quick-witted than he is. She did not let him get away with anything.

Very impressive.

[Leftist Agitator]

10. "She showed that she is smarter and more quick-witted than he is."

No great feat, that.

I'm disgusted that Obama and Clinton both have legitimized that fucking propaganda outlet.

Oy, when will I get my country back?

:shrug:

[Evergreen Emerald]

12. I look at it as reaching for those who watch FoxNews

Both of them did well on FoxNews. They showed that they are not how FoxNews portrays them (and in the case of Clinton--the rest of the media).

Reaching to the other side is a good thing.

And I think Clinton showed that she can reach to the viewers without compromising. She was very true to her progressive ideals.

[Leftist Agitator]

15. I didn't see the interview, because I've been proudly boycotting cable TV for six years now...

But I'm sure that she handled herself well.

I'm just pissed that Democrats are legitimizing the RNC's propaganda outlet, instead of continuing to shun it completely and totally.

Obama is every bit as guilty as is Clinton on that count, I'm sorry to say.

"Reaching to the other side is a good thing. "

Normally I'd agree, but when the target audience has a <1% chance of voting for any Democrat for anything ever, I'd say that it's time wasted, and damage done.

[question everything]

36. If you want to spread your views, or your book to as many people as you can

you go to where the viewers are. This is why all the freepers, including Mrs. Cheney, go on Jon Stewart, and this is why both Hillary and Obama went on Fox.

[goclark]

47. I hate Fox news but it is watched by a captive audience

all day and all night.

Have you noticed that FOX is on in the airports,banks,coffee shops- that is why they are so dangerous.

I was in the bank the other day and people were watching Fox.
They hang the TV from the ceiling -- that was wise because I would like to put my foot through the damn TV when I see O'Reilly's face.

There is a special place in hell for that evil man.

[BlackVelvet04]

18. I thought you guys wanted to reach across the aisle and

work with republicans. Guess not.

[Leftist Agitator]

20. Not the fucking mouth-breathers who tune into Faux "News".

Those any Democrat, hell, any American can do without, I'm glad to say.

[BlackVelvet04]

24. Well, there are independents and moderates who watch

Faux News....so sorry to disallusion your elitist self.

[Leftist Agitator]

26. Um, the word is "disillusioned", first of all.

And um, no there really isn't a large contingent of independents or moderates who watch "Faux".

See here: http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/articles/international_security_bt/102.php?nid=

According to the link, it's only easily deluded Bushites who fuck with that travesty of a network.

Mind you, that study is 5 years old, so perhaps the viewership of ze Faux has transformed over the years, but I sincerely doubt it.

[Lucinda]

62. Actually the word in that context is disillusion - no ED on the end

[Ronnie]

31. And it's on in many waiting rooms, banks, bars,,,

[Eric Condon]

41. Great, now the Hillbots are labeling us "elitist" for criticizing their precious Fox News.

Typical.

[rodeodance]

69. we are praising Hillary's performance, not Fox news.

[Eric Condon]

73. That's not what I got from it.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5761272&mesg_id=5761940

Sounds an awful lot like they're saying "well, unlike you snooty liberals, SOME people do like Fox News."

[rodeodance]

75. fox news has given a venue for Obama in his time of need twice lately--

[Ronnie]

77. "SOME people do like Fox News."

I don't get this part either, but these people are Americans, and they vote. BTW, whichever candidate becomes President, she will be their President too.

[BlackVelvet04]

86. No...

I called you elitist because of the mouth breathers comment.

Buy a clue.

[Eric Condon]

87. I wasn't the one who made the mouth breathers comment.

If only you and your candidate stood up for progressive causes as strongly as you stand up for Faux News and its viewers.

[MADem]

22. You apparently do NOT understand Murdoch. He isn't "right wing."

Where he has owned other franchises, he simply goes with the POWER.

If "the power" is to the left, so is he. If "the power" is to the right, there he is.

About the only consistent theme he shops is the "everyman, working stiff" one.

He's a media mogul. The fact that he's moving leftward by engaging our candidates, and providing them with an HOSPITABLE venue or three in which to speak, tells me that Fox sees what's happening, politically, in this country. That is why they are trending leftward. They're going with strength.

They unloaded that rightwing Nazi with the blond hair who looked like the quintessential SS toady. I'd wager that you'll see more personnel shifts and additions that include more lefties in the mix in future.

[emilyg]

46. Calm down.

It's good exposure for both.

[Zhade]

16. Is self-delusion a clintroll trait?

Think about it for, oh, five seconds - bill o'reilly, well-documented lair and known enemy of liberalism, didn't attack her with the heavy ammo that proves she lies repeatedly (Tuzla video, NAFTA meetings paper trail), and you're not the least bit suspicious as to WHY he didn't?

[emilyg]

42. Watch part 2 and 3.

[Hepburn]

52. My freaking DOG could have wagged her tail and evidenced...

..that she is smarter and more quick witted than Bill-O.

This is an impressive thing to do? Let her take on someone who IS quick, well informed and intelligent...like Rachel Maddow...and then we talk, OK?

:eyes:

[Evergreen Emerald]

58. she did--on Olberman. And she owned him too. He of course

awaited her departure before attacking her.

[question everything]

35. The complete interview is now on the Video forum (2 clips) (nt)

[True_Blue]

48. Hillary is impressive

She's ran a very strong campaign. No one can deny she's a fighter. She'll never let the GOP steal the election from her.

[Cali_Democrat]

5. Bill O. was acting like a jerk for sure from the you tube video I saw...

I refuse to watch Fox News live. I don't want them to count me in their ratings.

I was actually rooting for Hillary believe it or not. I think I need a shower.

[rodeodance]

9. thank you. no shower needed. She deserves respect to go up pucky billo

[Liquorice]

7. I knew she would do well, but I was still very impressed! nt

[rodeodance]

8. yes she did. Lovely strong lady. I raise a glass to you.

[BenDavid]

11. Compare HRC against obama on wallace sunday and this should tell

you that HRC is ready and prepared to by the new President Of The United States.

[JoFerret]

13. Without a doubt she is

(He may be too. )

[question everything]

34. Isn't it interesting that the Obama supporters bash Hillary's appearance

on O'Reilly, but have no problem with Obama appearing on Chris Wallace?

[emilyg]

43. Amazing.

[rodeodance]

54. There has always been a double standard for many.

[Labors of Hercules]

59. Isn't it funny how Obama supporters have the class to say...

Hillary was fantastic on Bill O'Reilly and I was very glad to see her on there to take him down a few notches.

And Obama was likewise fantastic on Chris Wallace.

And you can kiss my ass...

[palindrome]

39. hear hear!!!

go hill!

[still_one]

57. There is a reason Robert Reich, Joe Andrew, Bill Richardson and others have left Clinton

Not only has she ran a terrible campaign, the true character of the Clinton's have made themseleves evident, and it isn't very pretty

[laugle]

88. I agree and she

was brilliant.............

[ccharles000]

14. I agree

[question everything]

19. I don't watch anything on Fox, but, of course, she is knowledgeable about the issues

always has, as opposed to Obama who just use buzz words of "hope" and "change" that don't mean anything, but get the Obama girls and too many young voters and African Americans melting at the sight of him.

[MADem]

21. It was impressive. When he tried to talk over her, she punched him down with charm and a smile.

She made her points, and she got him eating out of her hand.

It was pretty damned brilliant.

[zonkers]

25. She rocked!!!!

http://thehive.modbee.com/files/images/Hillary%20Clinton.bmp

[question everything]

27. She certainly did. Just posted the videos on the video forum

there are parts I and II.

Apparently there is another video there by someone saying that she bashed Obama. She did not, as anyone who would care to watch them - was my very first time to watch Orally - can see.

[democrattotheend]

28. I only saw a couple snippets

But from what I saw:

She was kind of obnoxious during the part about Reverend Wright, but I was impressed with her responses on the tax issue. I have to admit I clapped when she told O'Reilly she was going to raise his taxes.

[StevieM]

30. She was magnificent, as always (eom)

[oldgrowth]

32. None of them should be going on FoX ,IMO

[Writer]

82. No, but it is the propaganda network for Republicans...

and is a good way to reach them for an open primary.

[Control-Z]

33. Rec and

:kick: :hi:

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

37. Never give up

Obama doesn't get it
Hillary does
Get it right
Hillary for president.


The wrong ways about right just cannot get America out of this mess.
And there is still no substitute for experience.

It's not what you want to believe.
And it is better to know than it is to think that you know.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

38. very Presidential

[PBS Poll-435]

45. Indeed.

I am glad that she had the courage to go into an unfavorable environment.

[smiley_glad_hands]

40. I bet she has been impressing alot of wingnuts lately. eom

[PBS Poll-435]

44. K&R. She did great.

Why is it traitorous to FUCKING FIGHT on unfavorable ground?

[Freedom Train]

49. I just watched it on YouTube

You're right, she did good.

[Hepburn]

50. There is NOTHING impressive about any Dem pandering to that asshole Bill-O.

:puke: Take your Repubbie-lite Hilly and freaking leave the Dem party, OK?

[rodeodance]

51. yeah??--well Obama panders to Chris Wallace when he wants to Explain himself to the public.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

53. She defended Obama several times and looked quite Presidential

[Iceburg]

55. Yes she did indeed. Looks like Obama needs a big sister to protect him.

[Tennessee Gal]

56. I agree with you. She was fabulous.

[susankh4]

60. She was fabulous indeed!

Go Hillary! Put that SOB in his place.

[bigtree]

61. yep

she's impressive.

hard to watch the idiot tho

[my2cent]

63. she did really good.

:hi:

[hayu_lol]

64. It is getting more difficult to compare the two candidates...

Hillary talks about issues, puts in the needed details, has plans to fix what is broken...

and Obama still working the old Hope and Change smoke and mirror routine. Maybe he should get a straw hat, a cane, and do a full dress soft shoe routine.

Obama is just plain not ready for prime time. Hillary is.

Go Hillary!

[sandyj999]

65. She Most Definitely Did!

It was worth tolerating him to see it!

[Catchawave]

66. She sure backed that squirrelly dog into the corner !

Bravo Sen Clinton !

[mistertrickster]

67. Rocked? Uh, no. She flipped and flopped. "God bless rich people."

With friends like her, who needs enegmas?

[rodeodance]

68. Hillary is the best. She blew gasbag Billo out of the studio!!

[Catchawave]

70. Careful rodeo, you'll now be "labeled" a Billo supporter !

:rofl:

She was very much in command of that interview :applause: Can't wait for Part 2.

[rodeodance]

79. BHO fans have problems with distinctions

[SeaLyons]

72. She is the BEST...

:bounce:

[jesus_of_suburbia]

76. She handled him brilliantly. He is such an imposing asshole, and she more than held her own!

[rodeodance]

78. agreed

[Texas Hill Country]

80. she was very very impressive... i think Obama would have had a meltdown

[Writer]

81. She was brilliant!

:bounce:

[shayes51]

83. I actually thought he looked a bit

smitten with her. Maybe he really has a love/hate thing going. "I think thou doth protest too much," Mr. Bill. I could not blame him; she's a lovely person--and she looks good, too!

[ShortnFiery]

84. Not unlike Rev. Wright, HRC has devolved into an "tragic caricature" of what she used to be ...

HRC's morphed into an individual she (and her former supporters) loathed during the 1990s.

Her ACT on O'Rielly's show was "a tragic performance" of a Politician de-compensating into absurdity.

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present "The Goddess of Pander and M.E. Obliteration." :nuke:

[DemExpat]

85. Keep it up, Hillary!

Excellent job.
