Rumors of his Death are Greatly Exaggerated
By Fleaflicker on April 17, 2008 at 2:59 PM in ABC News, Current Affairs, George Stephanopoulos, Obamedia
This is how the Cultists react to someone finally asking tough questions of both candidates. We understand their definition of fairness. It is a one way street.
BTW… This is what the creator of this video sports as her/his profile logo. My apologies in advance. But these are the kinds of people that support Obama.










































was that a death threat?
It’s certainly close to being one.
Stephie ought to have his car sweeped every time he gets in it.
I haven’t seen the video, I’m at work, but when do threats against someone call in the authorities? The mob mentality of the Obama zombies coupled with threats of violence against anyone who questions him seems to me to be a very serious issue and shouldn’t be minimized.
Do you guys know that it says this video is no longer available - what often happens with anything damaging to O.
I’m very curious about it. I would think it should be seen so people can know what craziness they are up to.
Well I can’t get the thing to load here or on youtube. I will watch and if appropriate, flag it. If it’s really bad then the youtube folks need to pull it now.
It most certainly was. That video belongs in an FBI file. And so does whomever posted it.
You see that’s what hanging around with domestic and foreign terrorists brings for you.
Barack Obama must never be president. We must vote against him and get everyone we can to do the same if he steals this nomination.
I have a funny feeling we haven’t seen anything yet from these people and they must not be allowed to pick a president. This is shades of the 60s.
Interesting article from the NYT:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/17/opinion/17kristof.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin
I wonder…
Why is this happening to our Dem party?
And will we ever be able to come together again?
I know that this sounds terribly naive. But. When a certain threshold is crossed, isn’t the danger implicit for all? It shouldn’t be this easy to dismiss lunatic behavior. I mean, I call Maureen “Howdy Dowdy,” but I wouldn’t write an obituary. I sent Toobin an email regarding sitting there and saying nothing when Calffries made the leap from Americans to al Qaeda but I chastened him for his silence … I never said that he didn’t deserve to live. (and, he apologized) Do these freaks not see that they are outside of acceptable human behavior? For OBAMA, for Pete’s sake? Cheez!
Never confuse decency with naivete…..These people practice on ehtics..
Fascism is the antithesis of ethics
I meant these fascists don’t practice ethics.
beebop,
I totally agree and do not think it is naive it all - rather good solid common sense.
It’s 72 all over again. We will come together in about a decade or so. That’s if all goes well. No kidding.
Sugapea,
That article is a the worst major contortion of attempts at “pop psychology” I have read in a while. Consider the first sentence and I am parphrasing from memory:
“In this post fact world”
First of all if is not fact or factual then it is not true. If is not true it is a lie. After many years teaching Amereican and foreign students - no where in the world are people comfortable with LIES or the people who tell them. Human survival instincts causes you to innately not trust, nor really like those type of people. Hence this guy starts off with a false premise.
As far as his quoting certain unidentified studies, he is discusinng differences in learned behaviors or prejudices. “Converted drinkers, smokers or anything else became “converted” because they hate the way their behaviors made them feel about themselves. Rather than accept that unpleasant fact, it is easier to “project” those negative feelings on others who have not converted for whatever reason or circumstance.
For example, I personally never liked rough sports like Hockey, becuase I do not find people beating each other with sticks or slamming them into walls “entertainment”.
In my experience it really comes down to how comfortable or certain you are of your own values. Everyone world wide knows basic right from wrong.
This guy is either a clever corporate shill who is being paid to propagate a breakdown of sensibilities needed for an ordrly society. Or, he is someone who has no sense of responsibilty toward others of the human race. He is disingenuous as Hell.
The Stalinist propaganda machine at Team Obama is fast. Wonder how many death threats George has gotten. These people are terrifying.
I bet the CIA has files on some of these people the size of a phone book. Including Obama.
Ok that is definitely a death threat- these people are dangerous- I wonder what else Ayers is teaching out there?
If my child was attending that school- she would be home TOMORROW!
Ehemmmm…….What do you think the CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS members have been putting up with….
And its Hillary that is tearing the party apart. I’m thinking that it maybe be time for a new party.
AMEN. God. And I thought that the right was frightening.
There are already three parties - the Democratic party, the republican party, and the Obama party.
The Obama party is not a political entity, but rather a very dangerous cult. It needs to be stopped and dismantled ASAP!
And its Hillary that is tearing the party apart. I’m thinking that it maybe be time for a new party.
WHAT? Because she will not withdraw from her campaign and let Barry be simply “anointed”?
OMG! That is really really disturbing.
The ridiculous thing in all these attacks on George Stephanopoulos, is that after his time with Clinton I remember being miffed at him several times for seeming to lean too far to the right. I never saw him as a Clinton partisan since he entered the media fray. He was just pretty balanced, which is what probably bugged me when he was being more objective than I wanted him to be! lol
I met George while I was putting on events for a California Congress candidate (who won btw). George came to a few events I’d planned, and he was just impressive as hell. He really has great energy and a spark about him.
I don’t expect to agree with everything a journalist says — but I’m not going to publicly crucify someone because (I perceived) they were unfair to my candidate. Case in point, Nedra Pickler and Beth Fouhy of AP, they are so in the tank for Obama. I’ve sent them an email calling them on their snarky comments about Hillary, and suggesting they try to be balanced considering they are journalists.
Nothing.. nothing any of us have ever said or done has come close to the mob mentality and hysteria we’re seeing today against the participants of the debate. I read they were actually heckling the Gibson and Stephanopoulos last night. The obamacrats are getting scary…

As a long time progressive Democrat activist myself, and, for the record, a supporter of Obama’s candidacy, I commend this article by Robert Parry to your interest; and the citations to the NYT as well. Decide for yourself about rather or not it was simply a coincidence that Hillary just happened to be so well coached(?) on the Dr. Ayers question posited by her husbands allegedly disgruntled ex publicist.
http://www.consortiumnews.com/Print/2008/041708.html
The article is ridiculous. It is claimed that there is no connection between Ayers and 9/11. Well no shit Sherlock. Who said there was? Oh… except the fact that Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist & we were attacked by unrepentant terrorists. Except that.
Who gives a shit whether Clinton was coached or not you sick bastard? This kind of crap should be repulsive to any descent human being. But, but, fucking Clinton doesn’t work any more. Nothing you sick cretins say works any more.
This one piece of video proves what many of us have known for some time; you sick s o b’s aren’t democrats and you sure as hell don’t belong in our party. And we wouldn’t vote for your damn candidate any more than we would excuse you and this kind of vile behavior.
I apologize sincerely for this post that I made yesterday after first seeing the Stephanopoulos video. I was outraged and responded in an inappropriate manner.
I don’t regret what I said, I regret the manner in which I expressed myself. Again, my apologies.
You are a better person than I am. How do you hold on to your humanity in light of this onslaught of filth and slime?
Hillary is always well prepared for debates. She really does well in every debate, even when she is attacked relentlessly. As has happened in every debate except this one. And by the way, she got some hard questions also. She is able to apologize and admit a mistake and move on. Hillary knew she would be hit over Tuzla.
Obama expected to be given a pass on all of his recent controversies. To pretend that Hillary got some kind of advantage because she prepared is childish. She has always done her own homework.
Obama is incapable of acknowleding he ever was wrong about anything. The voters are always expected to figure out WORM. Again and again. It is wearing thin.
Obama has been really poorly prepared for all of his debates. He doesn’t like to do debates, because he is does not think on his feet. He needs a prepared speech to perform his little unity act.
Yeah like Hillary needs to be coached. She can out-answer him on anything impromptu. It’s called having some actual knowledge.
If I were ABC I would be covering this video on the news and call it what it is. A death threat from just another every-day Obama-Frenzied savage.
Well Scud, I have just two questions.
Have you gone to an Obama training camp?
Are you paid staff or a volunteer for the Obama campaign?
LOL…..SCUD IS A DUD ?

<<<<<< OUTGOING
CLINK HITS THE TRASH CAN
You know, if you go to the blogspot page of the video maker, “buckpower”, and you see that his profile pic is one of Huey Newton (of the original Black Panther fame), in a military jacket and a shotgun strapped across him, then I tend to believe that this guy could be dangerous. Or, that the mass hysteria violent faction of Obama’s followers are feeding off each other, and a tragedy could be in the making.
Obama’s refusal to denounce these violent followers is a huge problem. I have no doubt that preparations are being made to protect Denver during the Convention if Obama has not managed to grab the nomination by then.
I really wonder about the U.of Chicago — this is the same institution that gave us the scourge Milton Frieman’s style economics — used in many South American countries. Naomi Klein’s book “Shock Doctrine” has the background and details.
And now cultists are trying to bully, intimidate and force their leader, Obama, on America by any means possible.
We NEVER hear Obama telling his followers to keep a civil tone — or any other words of caution. So if he doesn’t speak out against what his cult members are doing — they I must assume that he approves of the behavior (threats & intimidations) of his followers.
And YES these people are Cult members — I’ve been saying this since I started observing Cult behavior from Obama followers on the Orange Satan months ago.
Ayers will not be there for long if this flap upets the donors at the U of Chicago
I agree, I believe that for many Obama has slipped into Cultdom. There is no other way to explain this over-the-top behavior for a freshman senator that hasn’t really done much in the scheme of things. They are in love with Axelrod’s words, and Obama’s image. They are scary.
Agree…..1933 Berlin…..All OBAMESSIAH needs is is personal Leni Reifenstahl…
IIRC, Ayers is at The Univ of Illinois IN Chicago… not The Univ OF Chicago.
I doubt he has the academic credentials for UofC.
According to a map I saw, aren’t the Univ of Chicago and the Univ of Illinois Chicago in close proximity to each other?
Kos and his ilk are dishing out an awful lot of hate and rage to an awful lot of young, impressionable men and I hold them personally responsible if anything bad happens.
These people are disgusting and out of control. I no longer hold out hope for a win in November. The party is too fractured, the feelings are too ugly.
Their candidate sucked last night. He sucked because he’s not prepared for the office and it showed. Now all they can do is wallow in their crazy Hillary hatred. Bit ironic, isn’t it, the unprecedented ugliness that Mr. Hope and Unity has brought out in his followers?
The video is gone now, anyone have a brief synopsis to share?
No it isn’t. Works fine.
video won’t load
I hope it made it to the FBI first.
Yikes!
This is real villagers with torches kinda stuff…
I’ve always so admired the subtle approach, reminiscent of W’s “your either with us or against us” comment.
That’s ok, I love the smell of napalm in the morning…
Remember these are people who CHEERED the brutal treatment of Hillary for well over a year. These are people who CONTINUE to heap praise on Dowd, Olberman, and the hosts over at Air Obama Radio, just to name a few, when they spend all their time battering Hillary from pillar to post.
But ask Obama a few tough questions? TO THE RAMPARTS, PEOPLE! This SHALL NOT STAND!
These people are the most sickening hypocrites I have ever encountered. Unbelievable.
Fascists usually are
If the media had bothered in the last 7 years to ask tough questions like they did last night, we may not be at war with Iraq today.
Obama fans don’t seem to understand how crappy our media is compared to much of the foreign press. And it’s partially our fault in this country, because if a journalist dares to question things without first passing them thru a political filter, people get all outraged. I know the Dailyobama’s are presently attacking ABC and trying to get everybody fired. And probably crying to Olbermann, a sportscaster for goodness sakes.
What we saw last night was just a peek at what a responsible press looks like. Instead of realizing that in a democracy people have a right to hear the truth and form their own opinions, Obamabots are out attacking the media, trying to kill the messenger.
This is the same kind of behavior that has made the Iraq war possible and allowed Bush to continue with no accountability.
I predict that before this campaign season is over, we will see an act of violence committed against a media figure by an Obamabot. I hope I’m wrong, but wait and see.
These people are just crazy enough. They’ve lost contact with reality.
Agree….Tends to follow the dictates of typical Facist behavior.
Complete brownshirt mentality and behavior. AKA Thugs.
bush will claim it to be a terrorist act and declare a State of Emergency.
despise bush, but he might be right if he did. obamathugs doing violence on whoever disagrees with them could be the first step on a disastrous path.
Now of course, by “Ramparts” I mean “to DailyKos, MoveOn, and HuffingtonPost, as soon as we get our Lattes refilled down at Starbucks! Get ready for a long night of weary toil (blogging.) Backs will get sore. Callouses on the tips of your typing fingers will develop. But let no slow internet connection or spam filter stop you from expressing your OUTRAGE at the audacity of ABC’s George Stephanopolous actually asking QUESTIONS of Dear Leader!”
it seems to me that Obama has received a pretty nice ride from the media so far - I wonder, if this is the result, what would happen if he is simply ignored?
completely ignored… because obviously asking any real questions will get your life threatened…
Perhaps HRC and McInsane should double up on security….Me thinks….
It’s pretty freakin’ sad when the journalists in America are going to start needing Secret Service protection for asking Obama questions.
PS, that video is sick. I’d certainly view it as a death threatif it was pointed towards me.
The depth of hatred out there and the potential for violence scares the crap out of me. WTH is wrong with people?
Oh dear… I just looked closely at that t-shirt pic posted below the video, from the video makers profile. That guy is a piece of
workshit, actually.Whenever I see a shirt like that, I fervently hope that the owner has put a picture of himself wearing it on his FaceBook page, etc.
Then, whenever he applies for a job, the potential employee can quickly bring it up and see what kind of person he is considering hiring.
People who would wear shirts like that one should never, ever be allowed to forget it. And I mean NEVER- when they are grandparents, they should have their eight-year old granddaughters walking up to them and asking why they saw a photo on the internet of grampa wearing that shirt, and what does it mean?
Delusions of Power…and Mission….
Is he a member of the CGL club?
Interesting how these are the sorts of new Democrats Dean and Brazile are aiming for!
After today, one needs to wonder if Denver is going to say thanks but no thank you for having the DNC there in August!
This is not scarey, this is the workings of how the Weather Underground formed and how other home grown so called revolutionary cells were made in 1968!
The one thing that never slowed down these movements back in the 1960’s was flow of money. A blog needs to be formed here listing all companies supporting Obama, and refusal of spending any money for their goods or services needs to be started immediately starting with a boycott of the Hyatt hotels!
Endorsers of this sort of action need to be foight against as well including boycotting The Boss’s music and the Oprah show for starters!
This is beyond serious now, this is revolutionary tactics by a bunch of kids who have no morals yet because mom and dad are still footing their bills!
I haven’t watched Oprah since she went to the Carolinas to campaign for Obama.
glad to hear it. i never watched her, but if i ever thought of doing it i wouldn’t now.
Very disturbing video. George should report it to authorities.
Whoever created it needs some serious help. This is the kind of person that’s hauled off to jail while the neighbors shake their head and say “he/she seemed like a nice person”. Until they killed someone.
Seriously, the FBI has to investigate this incident and the “Fowler” incident. Ms Fowler also received death threats after she reported the SF bitter fiasco.
All they have to do is to go those blogs (I won’t name them) and see what is there. It can’t be ignored anymore.
George and Hill don’t even like each other very much. I read 2/3 of his book — up to the point where it was too much self aggrendizing. When leaks were coming out of Bill’s administration, she thought that George was the source of them. There were a lot of tough moments between them. And I have never detected any bias from him in her favor. Actually, I thought he had been a shit to her from time to time, but that’s just me.
I agree….When he asked her that BELOW THE BELT on ( even his puny bony ass ) Do you think Obam can bet McInsane ? I wanted to reach into the TV and shove my foot up his ass…I wear a size 8 1/2 probably would’nt fit…
Sometimes I just can’t stand him cause he’s so full of himself and he was when he worked for Ol’ Bill. I’m not sayin’…I’m just judgin’
Say and judge. It works for me.
The actions of the Obamabots must be fully exposed. So far they have mostly acted under the cover of anomymity on the net. The average person has no idea what these people are doing. America needs to know about the bullying tactics, threats and intimidation the Obamaphiles are engaging in on a daily basis.
I have written to Lou Dobbs and a couple of others about these supporters and their unusual behavior. There is a major story here for a very brave reporter to take on. And there is certainly enough evidence of their despicable attitudes/behavior all over the internet. Sunlight really is the best disinfectant!
I am sure that Charlie Gibson and George Steph are shaking their heads. If they still have the gumption to tackle this, they must have TONS of crap that has come through their website.
I am all for first amendment rights. I don’t think anyone here believes in stiffling discussion. But at some point the party needs to take Axe and BOBO to task. BOBO’s little performance in Raleigh was classic BOBO arrogance!
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/04/obama-attempts.html
I think I am going to call him BOBO all of the time. It seems like a great name for a clown.
That article is so typical of BOBO (love the name). He always makes himself out to be a victim who is above it all, meanwhile he has his surrogates running around engaging in the absolute worst and most vicious attacks on Hillary Clinton’s character. BOBO is a phony. He condones and enourages his supporters to behave like hooligans, but he is just so innocent! Maybe I’ll start calling him PHOBO.
I hope George and Charlie expose those creepy supporters.
I hope they do too. Then Dean has to rein in the clown … send in the clown …. there ought to be clown … don’t bother, he’s here ………….
I love those really high notes!
Who here fears violence on Obama’s part if he does not get what he wants?
Everyone is raising their hand.
I’m raising my hand!
Fear - maybe. Expect - yes.
Definitely. This is a violent crowd.
SHARPTON HAS PROMISED AS MUCH…
If Obama is not nominated, the streets of Denver will be filled with screaming morons gashing their own foreheads with shards of glass and throwing themselves in front of buses- when they get done burning Hillary in effigy of course.
Or maybe they’ll go the Buddhist monk route and set fire to themselves. Either way, it will make for good tv. And Darwin will be proven correct again.
We aren’t scared of a bunch of elitist la-las. Coloradans are capable of defending our capital city. They will all faint from lack oxygen in the Mile High City if they get too perturbed. What are they going to do? Really? Elitists and billionaires rioting? throw their pearls at us? (We can hope). That’ll be cool. I’ll put my money on the “bowlers”.
There has been threats of violence and riots, and death threats, both implicit and explicit, for weeks now against Hillary supporters. AA supporting her have been especially bullied and threatened. For God’s sake, they have threatened Tavis Smiley’s ELDERLY MOTHER.
I want nothing to do with these people, or with any sort of candidate who would attract such sickness like a moth to a flame.
This video is truly sick and twisted.
What about Social(ist) Democrats is not understood?
When the Anarchist Cookbook came out who do ya think was the first to read it?
this isn’t socialism.
it’s Stalinism.
Socialism is perfectly respectable in Western Europe.
I thought that these cretins had about bottomed out. Silly me. This is so sick and so repulsive that I cannot believe that anyone would do something so vile. It makes me nauseous.
I don’t like Keith Olbermann and I don’t like Rush Limbaugh and I don’t like Stephanopoulos and I would be equally insensed if this video was about any of them.
A line has been crossed and there is no going back. We don’t want people like this in our party. And if they have taken over with the help of Dean, Brazille, and Pelosi, among others then we need to get the hell out of the Democratic Party and stay out. I want nothing to do with anything like this. Or with a party that contains people that would do it or condone it.
You are right…..This is the type of shit FDR fought against…FASCISM
FASCISM n.1. Totlalitarian governmental system led by a dictator and emphasizing agressive nationalism,militarism, and often racism. Random house dictionary
They have spent the last eight years festering with Ann Coulter. Now that they have another target with whom they don’t agree, it’s like the gauntlet at a frat house. The only difference between the extreme right and the ultra extreme left is the direction.
Charlie Gibson handled it fairly well this evening. H’e packing, I’m sure.
Mr Obama, it is long past time you asked your supporters to cool it! If you are a great leader, demonstrate it by admonishing those that threaten violence to anyone who doesn’t agree with them.
If you can’t stop the implied and blatant ugly threats among supporters, how can we imagine you can be effective bridging a gap between *any* entities if you become president?
Unite your supporters in the name of harmony and sensible, calm discussion.
He flipped Hillary the bird today … he’s not going to tell them to cool it. He’s only interested in stealing this election. He’s BOBO the head thug.
thanks for posting this. I went to utube, signed in, 1-starred this video, and then i flagged it as “dangerous”.
Obama and his supporters make me sick. they are as wacko as Bush supporters are.
Where the hell has my country gone? I just turned 53 a few days ago and am ashamed to be called out as an “American” when I visit foreign nations. I’ve never felt this way in my life until the last few years. Obama in the race sadly doesn’t help the situation, along with the media’s behavior.
Oh fer jeebus Crispies sakes people! These are the same protofacists who sent DEATH THREATS to Tavis Smiley’s mother! Wake the fark up about the mentality we are opposing here!
Obamacrats are on a mission. Silence his critics. Silence anyone that dares ask him a question. Silence anyone that does not support him.
We all thought the Young Republicans were a bunch of thugs — they were small potatoes. Obama has been attracting the anarchists. I’m basing that on the widely distributed comments by some of his supporters that referenced the WTO riots in Seattle, as a model or what they plan to do in Denver if Obama doesn’t get the nomination.
Hey Howard, Hey Nancy, Hey Donna, Hey Sen. Kerry!! Are you all proud of yourselves for turning your back on this growing threat? Or are you going to blame Hillary and her supporters for not giving up yet? THANK GOD Hillary hasn’t given up! If this is a preview of what Obama and Co. has to offer.
This may very well spur a real third party when all is said and done. How could any of us ever support or trust the Democratic Party again after this ridiculous exercise in PC-run amok?
Oh, btw. AP has a front page article on Yahoo that basically gathers up quotes from reviewers who slammed George and Charlie, and talked about the 8 to 1 complaints to ABC about the debate. Sadly, and predictably for AP, it was slanted to make the DEBATE look bad — not the violent assholes who support Obama.
What is with AP? I know that they trashed Al Gore systematically in 2000, then Edwards, then Kerry in 2004. But this all Obama all the time crap is driving me crazy. I don’t know if it’s actually more of a problem that sites like Yahoo are only picking up the pro-obama pieces or what. But it seems only Nedra Pickler and Beth Fouhy (who are assigned to Obama) get their articles published anywhere. The web content/news editors at Yahoo only pick up PRO Obama stuff to feature on their pages.
Hmmm, April 19 is right around the corner.
The most explosive day in astrology and the
anniversary of Waco and Oklahoma City, IIRC.
Senator Obama,we the peace-loving citizens of this great country we fondly call, ‘AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL”,are requesting you to exercise your authority to STOP YOUR SUPPORTERS’FANATIC BEHAVIOUR, by intimidating Senator Clinton’s supporters & posting damaging YouTube video,especially the recent one made against George Stephanopoulos,In Memoriam. For your information,this can be consider an act of terrorism.George should report this to authorities.
We will consider your silence as a sign of condoning this terrorist act.Therefore YOU DO NOT QUALIFY for the job as the COMMANDER -IN-CHIEF.
SENATOR HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON IS THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THIS BLESSED COUNTRY OF OURS, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!
For those of you who saw the thread earlier this morning, with the guy from the 60s who ran an SDS safe house, his words were REMEMBER KENT STATE. Now this is a guy who is stuck in the late sixties, early 70s and that is deranged shit, I don’t care what you say. This Obama has raised the senses of these people and lifted them from the dead. They are Blood in The Street people stuck in a time warp. These are the types Ayers would attract, and they have manipulated the children as well. An Obama presidency is a nightmare presidency. Now, more than ever, you must remember that if this man is the nominee, you must tell everyone you know of what you have seen on the internet of these people. Keep links to websites that have these horrible threads. We have all seen them. Bookmark them. Print them out. Show people. Do not be complacent. Defeating this man is more important than we imagine. Let McCain laugh. I don’t care. I would rather four years or his stupidity than Obama blood in the streets AKA 1970.
Ayers’ actions killed people he knew and loved. And yet. He will tell you that he “didn’t do enough.”
What a sick bastard.
AMEN TO THAT….WHERE HAS DECENCY GONE ?
hi, just checked in and the video is gone, no longer available? Can anyone give me a few specifics?
vidio was removed but the CULTISTS have been houling all day long on the news ,havent seen cable just standard tv
I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE FAIREST DEBATE IN THE LAST 20…ABC go figure?
finaly some one asking the [POOR BABY] a few medium hard questions [wich made him jitery], and his zomby followers said
“obama was realy PUMMELED during the debate”
pummled?….4 half hard questions isnt pummeling
_____________
the republicans are going to rip him to shreads.
_____________
he will be in ERIE PA to day friday spewing his garbage.were i live.
He should have been prepared. He should have known those question would come up. Since he didn’t answer them well, he and his followers are up-in-arms over the questions because they were deemed “too harsh” on Senator Obama.
The Obamatrons have been emailing by the thousands to the major and cable networks complaining about the questions asked.
The guy who works to make a living, who doesn’t have time to email all of the networks, is the one who is being left out of this process. The networks and the DNC need to wake up and realize this.
If they were “awake,” it wouldn’t have come to this. The rail is out — thanks to them — and the train has left the track. When it lands it is going to be ugly. Either way. I don’t know much about physics … but this looks BAD!
That’s why they loved caucuses too. Working people are left out of caucuses.
What I can’t understand is the objection to “walking around money?” What are your thoughts?
That’s the adult way of looking at it. The sophomoric way of looking at it was, they won’t dare ask me, I am protected.
Remember the taxpayers? The ones who actually pay the salary of our elected officials and everything else in this country? They are the ones who are getting screwed this election.
Obama, the media darling, the golden candidate, can do no wrong. Too bad this whole line of questioning we saw on Weds. didn’t happen sooner.
The media is apologizing all over itself. Why?
Hillary has been under that kind of frustrating scrutiny since she declared her bid.
The Yahoo/AP poll results are out. Go look at the “methodology.”
Results are weighted, or adjusted, to reflect the adult population by demographic factors such as age, sex, region, and education.
What the fuck? Why do they bother to survey at all?
Just go ahead and decide what you want the damn poll to say.
You’re an idiot if you think these moderators asked “tough” questions. They were pathetic and most Americans agree with that statement. Just read the polls of the outraged voters. Learn something and go to Glenn Greenwald@salon.com who explains perfectly why these moderators asked what they did. Using the pettiness of this so called “debate” to suggest something negative about Obama had just the opposite effect as the latest polls demonstrate he took the lead in PA after last night’s debate, and no, it had nothing to do with Clinton but rather with the pathetic vapid questions these republican hitmen asked. David Brooks uses the term most Americans etc to describe his own personal opinions as the [polls show most Americans completely disagree with him. Don’t make the same mistake…the only people claiming this debate was at all pertinent are right wing pundits who try to keep the level of discourse on trivial meaningless personality based levels. Go sign the petition at moveon.org for ABC and other Drudge led groupies to get their heads out of their collective asses. Watch George Step get his head handed to him on his weekend show by Kucinich when he tried doing the same type of hit job on him. Just pathetic.
It’s all about A-holes and perspectives.
Just as you sir see things Obama’s way, we see it Hillary’s way. What in the world makes you or those who agree with you are right?
Hillary is not without a formidable amount of support from people who agree with her. So I ponder the question of how much ego one must have to insist that millions are wrong because millions are right.
Uhm… huh?
Can I ask you to which poll you are referring?
The one that weights its results?
The one that includes 300+ additional AA’s and 300+ additional catholics (Casey, anyone?)
There were “polls” that had him even with or just behind Hillary … and he lost to her by 10%.
Believing in fantasy is a terrific way to live if you are 3 years old. Imagine who you are going to feel Wednesday morning when you’ve been reading “polls” and find that he lost by double digits after spending AN OBSCENE amount of money …
Don’t trip over your lower lip.
If only Clinton would have laughed out loud when asked about McCain instead of saying he’s a formidable opponent and instead said, “Are you kidding? More wars McCain?, who doesn’t have a clue about the economy and is just two steps away from senility. Who has to have somebody tell him what to say to keep from getting it confused. What a joke. The only reason he’s even a candidate is because the GOP couldn’t come up with a less embarrassing candidate. Of course Obama can beat him, I can beat him. A blind monkey could beat him because he’s just another Bush on steroids. Hell, we couldn’t survive 4more yrs of Bush or McBush as I like to call him.No McBush has nothing to do with it. The next president is going to be one of us. Next question?”
Quit acting like these snakes are worthy of respect. They are incapable of playing nice or even talking about real issues. As soon as you’re done telling then how much you respect them they hit you in the face with a snowball and laugh at how stupid you are. Look at what they have done to our democracy. Look at what they are. They do nothing that is not motivated by self-serving interests and their entire platform goes against the founding principle of “in order to form a more perfect union…’. If Clinton would have responded that way to the McCain question the moderators mouths would have dropped open in silence as the crowds would have laughed and cheered wildly.
Bush and McCain are enemies to this nation and should be treated as such but dems are so afraid they might hurt their feelings or make them mad. Just saying…
WERE YOU WATCHING?????
He wants to be Ronnie? He wants to be Bush’s Daddy?
Please.
Pisses on the Clinton years of peace and prosperity …. your credibility is missing. Maybe iit got left in the shuffle with hope and change… JJust sayin’
Boy Joey!
I am just surprised as hell that Senator Clinton’s office hasn’t contacted YOU to advise her how to handle herself at a debate. Gee. Wow. Rock on.
