Bill O’Reilly Open Thread [Updated]
By SusanUnPC on April 30, 2008 at 6:45 PM in Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Indiana, North Carolina
JUST ANNOUNCED on Hannity, Fox News: Hillary Clinton now leads Barack Obama 46-44 in North Carolina. (And my friend who is working his tail off in No. Carolina tells me that volunteers are streaming into the offices, and the “feel” of the campaign is transformed, as well as the great, positive reactions they’re getting from voters.)
UPDATE: “InsiderAdvantage/Majority Opinion Survey: North Carolina Democratic Primary: Hillary Clinton Takes Lead Over Obama” (Compiled from InsiderAdvantage and Southern Political Report staff) || PDF of polling results
AND HERE’s THE VIDEO, as PROMISED — and now Part Two is up:
Part Two:
NOW the video is up at Fox News; click above. Also check out THIS report on the great new poll numbers from Fox News. Or read the full article.
And Real Clear Politics nails the reason for Obama’s press conference yesterday:
So why did this particular performance by Wright finally create the need for Obama to speak up more forcefully? That answer is simple: falling poll numbers in Indiana, North Carolina and nationally, and to that, we can safely conclude, Barack Obama takes great offense. — From “Obama’s Wright Turn,” by Richard Baehr
Consider this the spot where you may help “live blog” and comment on Bill O’Reilly’s interview of Hillary Clinton at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT. O’Reilly reairs at 11 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. PT. We will have the video up the moment it becomes available. (I’ve seen “sneak peeks” on Fox News, and it looks great.)

DONATE HERE, DONATE NOW.
BY MIDNIGHT for DOUBLE the value.
Here’s another video, about Hillary volunteers in Indiana:

Susan you are great! I won’t be able to watch but will catch it here later!
Can anybody supply a live stream link for Garlic Nose?
You are very kind.
Anxiously standing by.
Did you see the latest Fox Poll?
HRC favorable rating up, higher than BO now. BO dropped 10 points!!.
HRC is viewed as tough, intelligent, and more in touch with American People.
Here are raw CBS/New York Times numbers now (among registered voters):
If the candidates were Obama and McCain, who would you vote for?
Obama: 45%
McCain: 45%
Undecided/Don’t Know: 6%
If the candidates were Clinton and McCain, who would you vote for?
Clinton: 48%
McCain: 43%
Undecided/Don’t Know: 5%
This is for suicidal SD like Pelosi, TeddyK etc
Among Blue-Collar White Voters
61% - Hillary
23% - Bambi
Fox had their pollster on along with the Rasmussin guy. The Ras. guy has like a 14 point spread but said the results of the last few days are not included. He expects the gap to close on his polls as well. He said if Obama wins NC they do not expect it to be handily. Both pollsters agreed that Wright has hurt him significantly.
And Rasmussen is always in the tank for Barack Obama.
Hmm, 4 parts over two days. Cool! She looks great.
Oh, she’s doing great right now talking about oil prices and energy prices. She’s very forceful and serious, and that is great!
She laughed at his assertion that she was going to “bankrupt the country” with health care.
She thinks he’s hilarious, it’s great.
Hey Bill, you have Hillary on your show. Big coup. How about letting her ANSWER A FUCKING QUESTION instead of just bloviating and strutting sitting down?
Believe it or not, for the next few minutes, the viewers want to hear your guest, not you. Take a deep breath. Let your guest talk.
Hillary- courageous as hell. And thinking and talking circles around O’Reilly.
He sure is full of himself, but she’s used to these types being in the Senate….
Agreed!
He kept interrupting and talking himself. very annoying and agressive. He is too in love with himself– but he seems to do this to everyone…
Good she stood her ground and didn’t let him dominate.
Found funny he said they two were alike about “likability question”.
Interrupting is O’Reilly’s shtick, his trademark. It is his way of bullying and putting his guest off their game. Most cannot stand up to him, mostly because they don’t really know their topic and don’t have the intelligence, wit, and chutzpah to go one-on-one with him.
But Hillary was right there in his face, not giving a quarter and she did it with fire, passion, grace, and class. She was fantastic and beat him at his own game. He never said it, but he was impressed with her ability to go one-on-one with him and not falter or stumble. Not once. She was brilliant and fantastic!!!!! BRAVO HILLARY.
she just beat him on health care
If Bill thinks I’m going to keep his show turned in so I can hear Dennis Miller and Dick “toe-sucker” Morris’s take on Hillary, he’s more nuts than I thought.
great line….”dick “toe-sucker’ morris..funny!
That cracks me up. He has no credibility as an analyst because he’s so consumed, to this day, with anger that he got canned. I MUCH prefer Karl Rove, who has the capacity to be relatively objective.
Dennis always looks to me like somebody ought to run him thru a carwash. Does this man shower???
The woman is so in command of all the issues and what her plans are. Everything comes across clearly and there isn’t an “uh” every two words.
Olberman’s telling people that the Superdelegates have had their little Star Chamber meeting and have decided to back Obama. If that’s true, they are saying
Fuck Michigan
Fuck Florida
Fuck Indiana, North Carolina, West Virginia, Kentucky, Oregon, South Dakota.
And that means I get to say
Fuck you Democratic Party.
I hope it isnt’ true.
Olbermann will say or do anything for Obama.
How many times have we heard this during the past three months?
Who trolls Olbermann?
Don’t let it get to you….I think it is the sound of panic….From Obama
Yeah and F the election in November.
I too hope this isn’t so
The dems will say goodbye to this vet if Obama is the choice..
If games are being played like this I want no part of the this party..
Claire McCaskill is such a DISAPPOINTMENT what a disgrace and YES she has got out in public on her interviews just as ex senator (above the fray) stop the Clinton’s dirty campaigning ..waaaaaaa waaaaaaaaa Bill Bradley…saying we all need to take the high road and then stick a shiff in Hillary..or Bill far as know hasn’t started on Chelsea yet..but give him time..
Chelsea go SD in Peurto Rico…Yippee
There are so many of these dems that I used to have respect for..but, when I see them throwing Hillary under the bus for this Obama empty suit rich associates with money and power..
Rezko..Auchi .. Khalidi..shall we continue now the Hines and Kerry Kennedy’s along with disgraceful Tom Daschle (another one used to have respect for)
We are heading for South Dakota and see if we can help and bring Hillary a victory from Tom’s state
would love that..They are just now getting offices open and hope to make a difference there..
I can’t imagine those independent South Dakota people voting for Obama after all the background has come to surface..I know they didn’t want us to know any of this stuff now trying to tell us it is all unimportant as Obama is such a good man he just would never think like these people he hung out with ,… I DON’T BELIEVE IT AND ESPECIALLY HIS WIFE MICHELLE AND SHE WOULDN’T COMMIT TONIGHT TO ENDORSE HILLARY IF SHE WAS THE NOMINEE..HOW DISGUSTING A PAIR THESE TWO HAVE TURNED OUT TO BE..
I thought so much promise when I heard him in 2004 and truly hoped he felt as he talked as that was where I had evolved to …but nope they are stuck with the friends and associates they themselves chose as friends etc..and look at those characters
they have surrounded themselves with
Too much to say and sometimes just vent like the rest of us..I just am so disappointed in MSM and dems in general when they see a disastorous situation and the left left wing of the dem party which will never get elected..yet they are hanging on to this fraud of a person with wife not denouncing oh Mr.Rev Wright…CNN tonight she would not denounce him..so what does that tell ya
SHE BELIEVES IN THAT CRAP THAT IS BEING SPEWED AT THAT THEOLOGY IN CHURCH..
Not me I CANNOT BE A DEM FIRST NO MATTER WHAT
IF NOT HILLARY I WILL WRITE HER NAME IN BUT, WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA..HAVE NO TRUST IN HIM
Navy vet/ ..womens rights civil rights human rights ONLY HILLARY..
concerned american citizen who thought the democratic party was the progressive party not the leftist party..
Ayers .. Wright .. Meeks… Dohrn..do we have to say more..NO NO we don’t
YES WE WILL
WE HAVE TOO for america’s sake…
Christ O’Reilly is determined to act like a rude bully- this is telling me a lot about what kind of people he thinks watches his show.
But Hillary continues to run circles around him. I can’t believe O’Reilly is trying to make this all about him- “I pay a lot of money, what are your plans gonna do to ME?”
And he’s a total idiot- “Income redistribution, making the rich pay more taxes than the poor, that’s Socialism…” no, it’s not, you clueless dick.
everything is always and has always been about OReilly. He’s an egotistical pig…but he was right, Fox has been more fair than CNN, and especially MSNBC.
OH GOOD FUCKING LORD- “Tax rates were really really low when I was growing up in Levittown…”
You goddamned liar Bill. Taxes were high on the MIDDLE CLASS in the 40s and 50s. Your dad, you’ve admitted in the past, made $35,000 a year when he retired- $150,000 in today’s money.
Low taxes in the 40s and 50s- you are either lying or you just plain don’t know shit. Choose one.
“You are Polarizing!” Um, evidence please? Oh, she just IS. What the fuck ever, you stupid prick.
She’s a woman. SHe expects to be called
1. Polarizing
2. a Bitch
3. a Lesbian
They come with the territory and you just shrug. If Hillary Clinton were a man, her behaviors would be rated as
1. Strong and Decisive
2. Too smart to be a fool
3. A Real Man.
All that stands between the two lists is a dick.
amen, uppity. And after you learn to let it go, they call you an ice queen.
The more they go for her…..The stronger she gets…..
Why, that would make you actually frigid!
(Don’t hear that word as much these days.)
You don’t hear that much these days because dem boys all his their own problems that way.
You don’t hear “frigid” much anymore because dem boys got their own problems that way. Women have indeed learned the art of Talking about them like they always did to women. Look at the Olberman rating. Bust in bed. And Merlot besides! Yeesh I don’t know which is worse, being a lousy lay or bringing Merlot.
Hey hey hey, merlot’s not bad. I’ve had a good South African one one time that was quite nice.
perfect analysis! you hit the mark.
I agree - if she were a man it would be different. I also would add some are against her because of the relationship she has with Bill regarding his womanizing ways. Imagine that, a woman that forgives her husband for being unfaithful. I thought thats what Christians do. I guess forgivness is only good when its convienient. As in Bush taking us to war for no reason. Let’s forgive him - after all - he is an idiot.
And honestly, as much of a flawed husband as he is, he is standing up for her and working himself to the bone for HER AMBITIONS and HER ASPIRATIONS. That means so much.
i also like when bill gets angry and comes to her defense as he darn well should. stand by your woman, bill.
As a self-appointed honorary feminist, I agree 100%.
I actually looked up the definition and I totally agree with feminism:
“The doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men.”
Sounds good to me, women want the same rights and opportunities men. Count me in on continuing to fight for that!
Feminism should have been good for both sexes. If it had reached its full potential.
I don’t know much about it but those ideals strike a loud chord with my spirit. I’ll guess the term has been demonized by oppressors over time to keep women down.
The one thing about assigning roles to the sexes is that there are a lot of people who are miserable. For every woman more suited to being a CEO, there is a man not suited to working in the 9 to 5 atmosphere. How much lower would the death rates be due to heart disease and strokes if men had a better satisfaction level with their lives? Not a scientific poll … merely a rosey observation
Oh, she’s was sooo good. Can’t wait til the next installments. She was sooo personable and just all around likable, funny, and impressively knowledgeable.
I totally agree, she was amazing. No hesitations at all. Smart, funny and right to the point.
I cannot BELIEVE there are people out there who hate this woman (or at least claim to hate her) or prefer Barack Oblather to this REAL leader.
Agreed. It makes no sense. She was very personable, she fought for the middle class and spoke knowledgeably about taxes, oil, economy, etc.
I was just thinking that I’m glad I can be proud of my candidate and never be worried about how she’s going to perform or be embarrassed by her inability to answer tough questions. She doesn’t shy away from a fight, and I like that. O’Reilly got his clock cleaned, and that was only the first 10 minutes.
Exactly. We don’t have to worry at all when she is in the White House. And imagine how worry we will be if the other guy got there.
They hate her because they are afraid of her……Can you imagine if Sen. Clinton was able to be an MLK figure for women….
Think about it…..There are frightened and abused women out there…..
Interesting……No ?
Hillary is an awesome role model for women worldwide! the fact that she can take whatever these sexist jerks dish out over and over again, yet continue growing stronger, is a testament to what a great leader she would be. Also - before the “factor” O’Reilly told Shep Smith that the Clinton machine was formidable. The right wing folks are worried about her, but they can’t hold back on Obama because to them Obama is the anti-christ!
She sure is. If she makes it, she will have made a huge difference to THIS woman, who has put up with a great deal in my profession. But if she can stand up to all that and make it, then there is no reason why I can’t. Ever. And I’m never EVER going to back down again.
Hey, that’s exactly why they are so afraid of her.
They’re getting the picture - and they don’t like it. Imagine, an MLK for women. All of us not backing down again. I just signed a petition for the equal pay for women they’re discussing in the Senate.
Repubs actually FILIBUSTERED it - that’s how scared they are. And McCain said only problem for women, reason we are paid less is we need more education and training!
Is this man delusional - or what?
A lot of it is still left over hatred of and for Bill.
They always had it in more over her than Ol’ Bill…..She is threatening because she is a female who demands equality….
That’s why they played up the cookies….Rile up all those women who are comfy in their assigned place….It’s been going on since the Clinton’s hit the scene….
She is spending almost as much now in Indiana and North Carolina as he is.
There are no slots left for media buys.
This morning’s “staged” event to “not talk about Reverand Wright any more” is to get his face in front of the voters in NC and Indy. The expectations have already been articulated for him in Indiana. It is HOME COURT ADVANTAGE for him. A loss in Indiana is HUGE. It is worse than her drawing close in North Carolina. He can’t continue to look back fondly on rolling up eleven in a row. That was almost two months ago.
He is starting to stink like a loser.
Now I see why Obama will NEVER go on Bill O’Reilly. He wouldn’t be able to keep up, it would be a total bashing.
Maybe if he could borrow some Nation of Islam bodyguards to protect him from tough questions, or at least the A-men corner that accompanied Wright to the National Press club and growled at the questions.
He’d make Obama cry
Cranky and WHINY too!
Speaking of FOX…did you guys see this awesome video from the “chicks at hireheels.” it’s in protest of the media and its unfair treatment of Hillary.
Here’s a tease…
Pornin’ Joe…
Pattt Me…Buchannan
Ohhhhhhhh Riley,
we’ll take you mornin….noon….and alllllll night long!
really…this video is funny!

I still remember when Major asked him a couple of tough questions and he realized he wasn’t on MSNBC … it was written all over his face. I thought I would wet my pants.
Thank you for posting the contribution info and link, Susan. I just gave at hillaryclinton.com (again and again) and I was just on my way here to give you all a little reminder that until midnight your money is good for double. So please all donate… It don’t matter how much…. Let’s give these media weasels some numbers to make their
heads spin!
p.s. I’ll just wait until the interview’s over and see what everybody thought. I don’t need the stinkin’ stress.
surprisingly, it wasn’t stressful at all. And I haven’t watched the MSM since February for fear I might stroke out.
She was brilliant, and had me smiling the whole time. Every time O’Reilly would say something ignorant, she would just laugh and confidently correct the record and then run circles around him on the issues.
She was spectacular. The interview brightened my day. You could see on O’Reilly’s face that she called his bluffs on a lot of issues - I think he was impressed, and a bit embarrassed that she handled him like that.
I actually just wrote to O’Reilly and thanked him. He was more respectful than Olbermann, Matthews, Russert and all the nasty little white boys on Kos and Huff Po and TPM.
I think he, like Buchanan, is impressed by her.
God, I was so proud of her tonight.
maybe they are respect her as a woman and an intelligent politican. the haters? they tell us a lot about themselves everytime they open their mouths.
Did last night — $100. It’s worth it for her.
Having been heavily involved with upstate New york politics in many ways, including having served in office in my city, and having dealt with nutcases all the way up to the state level, New York is HIGHLY taxed, but that has NOTHING to do with Hillary Clinton and EVERYTHING to do with a dysfunctional state senate and assembly that just can’t get enough money to dole out to their friends. New York’s financial woes are the fault of New york legislators and the crackpot thief we had for a governor for more years than he deserved to serve.
In upstate NY the health care insurers, the utility companies OWN the state. They have donated so much money it is no wonder they are raping people left and right and getting away with it. Health insurance costs and utility costs are tow TOP reasons companies drive right by the state. And nobody does a thing about it because they are Owned. Hillary and Chuck tried to do plenty of things in upstate NY but the truth is, the “leaders” there in plenty of places just can’t get the hell out of their own way. They are just too busy taking care of each other and cutting nothing when it comes to costs without sacrificing services. It’s just a big governmental picnic in plenty of spots, starting with Joe Bruno The Broker. Every republican in the state senate is Bruno’s Poodle. I just don’t know why Hillary doesn’t just plain come out and talk about that when someone accuses her of being the blame for upstate NY’s condition.
Is it as bad as IL, no wonder everything in this country seemed to fall apart.
But at least they can fix it now that the problem has been identified.
Hell no! They won’t fix it till a city’s door closes and the state has to take it over. Then these incestuous thieves will get the point. Till then, The Band Plays On. But the most important thing here is none of it has ANYTHING to do with Hillary and if you ask me, she’s being too much of a lady about it. I had the great fortune of being in her company on several occasions when she was first running for Senate and I knew instantly she was way over these people’s heads in terms of teamwork.
I love the people who blame the ills of NY on Hillary Clinton..
I have lived outside of Syracuse NY all my life. Companies were leaving Syracuse and NY long before she became Senator, before her husband was the President. My husband lost his job in 1986. Our local GE left. Hmm if Im correct Ronnie Reagan was President.
You guys have that thieving Lockheed Martin there in Syracuse though. That was all very interested. I was a GE software engineer for a fair number of years. Then I became a manager and did nothing. I’m sure your husband will understand what I mean. Anyways, that Aerospace deal was very very smelly. That Martin Marietta’s Norm Augustine started buying up 100% of nothing in the aerospace industry. First he sucked up GE Aerospace and they called it a merger so they could illegally steal GE vested pensions to shore up their own underfunded pension fund –and get away with it, unheard of till they pulled it off. Then he snapped up Lockheed. I still call them GE- LockMart. lol. He was gearing up for the next war. Smarmy company, that one. You can bet that all the politicians in upstate NY did squat right to keep them from leaving. But you are right, Upstate NY was dead meat long before Hillary arrived, and that’s the way they like it if you ask me.
Didn’t Northrup get caught up in this, also, as well as Boeing, on the West Coast?
We didn’t see as much of this, what you’re describing, we worked on the Space Station, among other projects, life support systems, managing construction of through enterprise project management, a subcontractor to Boeing, and Allied Signal. We owned our own company, still do, though things have changed, for any number of reasons.
Brutal work, but amazing to see what can be accomplished.
We can essentially apply the concept of enterprise project management to any project, from reorganization of a company say, to construction of the F-22.
It was under Clinton we were given this opportunity, the conditions were right, and the federal government easier to work with, in terms of operating a small business.
I remember when Northrup blew that F-20 project. Talking about flushing millions down the can.
Yeah, after dealing with billions of dollars, a few thousand is like pocket change.
You have to readjust your thinking to keep it realistic, normal…
And therefore don’t forget connection - GE, MSNBC. Could their Hillary hate have something to do with that corruption and fear of the Clintons. Bill did order GE to clean up the Hudson. Which they still have not done.
Ah ha — yep — GE — wonderful compay, NOT.
I was in Pittsfield (Mass) years ago — another GE town. Now General Dynamics owns what is left of the Town.
GE > Martin > Lockheed Martin > General Dynamics.
And yes it was during the Reagan/Bush years that all the buying and selling of companies happened and the Pension?? Lost somewhere between, slipped into pockets or offshore?
My husband’s cousin was very involved in Upstate GOP politics for decades. Voted against the ERA — and I have shunned them ever since.
Upstate NY is really completely different than NYC. Sort of like Western Washington and Eastern Washington.
Well it could be worse…..It could be TEXAS……We are just sad…..
Uppity, what happened to Alan Chartok and WAMC?
I came across NY a week or so ago and could not find the station.
It’s still there, 91.9 I think. But it’s become much more conservative, and have a lot of pro-Obama stuff. But much better than cable TV.
Olbermann is touting the SD decision because he knows barry is going to loose the next round in Indiana , NC West and Virginia etc ..It’s his contribution to barrys loosing campagin.. I cannot believe that super delegate decsions have been made so soon. If so maybe the Democratic Party really does have a death wish
It wouldn’t surprise me if they give this nomination to Barky no matter what. his largesse has been spread far and wide, including his fundraising list. If they do that, They can play with themselves in the dark with him till November if they do this, because they are going into marginized mode after November for the next decade, just like all the other times they pulled this crap. The left-of-left leftwing radical nutcases do it everytime to the party when they get off on some snobby candidate. They have some kind of death wish for the Demcratic party or something. Obama would never win. And plenty of Democrats will help make sure he doesn’t, particularly the moderates, which happen to be the majority. They never learn.
yeah, o’reilly made a comment about dems marching off the cliff. it wasn’t far off. i hope the new head of dnc fires everyone of their snotty arses starting with brazile.
Great interview. Even the Obama supporters had only good things to say about Clinton and barely mentioned Obama. Priceless.
Matthew
Listening to Dick Morris. He certainly doesn’t try to hide his dislike of her. When it comes to her he is extremely irrational (and comical).
Bill asked him last week if he could beat him up when Hillary pulls it off.
he’ll have to get in line…
ole dick is sorry he wasn’t hired by the clintons again, but he sold his sould sometime ago. he is so corrupt and seedy looking now just like miller.
Agree….Dick is destined to be a bell hop in hell…..Got that straight from the POPE……….chuckle……
How can SDs turn a blind eye on a big angry elephant swinging his trunk in a small room? Wright is a disaster to Obama & Democrat Party.
Dick Morris is aptly named don’t you think?
Hillary’s interview isn’t on here yet!
Wow, that was an excellent interview!
Talk about the far left blogs up next. Screw ‘em! I love all the nice, cool Hillary blogs!
oops, sorry didn’t mean to post twice. I donated, everyone! Donate to Hillary your donation will be doubled for the next 6 hours or so.
Isn’t it just plain wrong for the tv jerks to talk about “what the Superdelegates are thinking” or what way they are “leaning”
They have a crystal ball or something? I never in all my born days dreamed I would agree with Pat Buchanan on anything, but he sure has Obama nailed. He says this will do him in, I sure hope he is right…I mean Wright.
One comment I have not heard but I certainly thought about more than once, was that the Rev. Wright pranced around like a flaming queen, so full of himself, that I expected about anything out of his mouth. Did anyone besides me feel his drama queen act, hint, hint, hint, was over the top like a La Cage Aux Folles sequel?
Not that there is anything wrong with that. but…
There is when the hypocrisy is used to harm men and women trying to live respectful , productive lives.
Or denial, maybe that’s a better word, when the denial of sexuality and the self hate it inspires (in certain people) is projected onto others, used then as an excuse to harm other, the only “crime” of “other” being that of trying to live peaceful, productive lives, and gain equality under the law.
It is just the fact that, as a gay person, I can see this aspect and wondered if anyone else noticed the flamboyant nature of Uncle Jeremiah?
Yeah, sometimes I think all this behavior in men like Obama (the haters) stems from a basic denial of sexuality, reflecting the greater intolerance, and/or fear of greater rejection of our culture as a whole.
But with the right leader, it will get better.
i thought he acted in a manner that i didn’t expect especiallly at the press club. i have watched a few on cspan and never saw that before. normally it is very sedate.
Ehemmm…..Pastor Wright is a hack crazy fascist MOFO who invented his own religion….He played to type….
Sean is loving him some Hillary on Hannity and Colmes, saying, in effect, she performed perfectly, and that it was a great tactic.
Bob Beckel, OTOH, is a clueless windbag who’d like a date with that dreamy Barack.
Isn’t he annoying. Not particularly bright or insightful. I swear he’s angling for a gig on Obama’s team so he’s kissing up. Karl Rove is light years ahead of him in intelligence and analytical ability.
What’s funny is that Bob is looking sicker and sicker every day as he says positive things about BO that he knows are patently untrue. So many of the commentators are going through this same “regurgitative kissing-up syndrome” - it looks like saying good things about Barry is making them throw up in their mouths a little :-b.
Bob Beckel, er al. WHERE do the Democrats keep coming up with these lame, insipid, tongue tied, strategists? They sure do have a bunch of them
Follow the money. There’s plenty palms to grease and plenty of cash.
OH MY GOD … I may never be able to close my eyes again.
ann coulter and glenn beck … together … and I watched …. lack of respect for Baby-O was Baby-O’s biggest problem …
But Beck nailed it … OMG It is enough to make you ovomit.
For now, the right on the MSM is on our side. Strange temporary bedfellows indeed. I can’t see them staying with Hill in the GE.
This is Grrrrrrrrrrrrreat!!
I have not been this thrilled in years!
and I am starting to enjoy politics again
truthfully I no longer hate that I’m addicted is more like it! lol
(oh well there is always tomorrow)
Don’t know if this video has been posted here, yet. It is just too, too funny. Love it!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=4xhJnXl4kIA
i enjoyed that. big smile!
Fox was great. They were both fired up. If you didn’t catch Lou Dobbs tonight, go look for some clips… the panel was discussing how good she looked, her energy, her message, it’s no longer Bill and Hillary.. it’s about her, tone, etc.
Between Clinton’s appearance on Fox (which made Obama look more dull than ever), Lou Dobbs and the polls today, I feel like I’m living in some alternate universe where reality and balance have been applied. Odd.
I was thinking the same thing. Hope it lasts.
Hmmmmm……..hounds smell blood………No ?
It’s like a Star Trek episode. The pundits are saying nice things about her, she kicks ass on Bill O’Reilly’s show, the polls are turning…are Sulu and Chekhov the two newest Superdelegates?
Rev. Rivers, on H & C, is equating BO with an abused child, vis-a-vis Rev. Wright. That’s why he never broke with him, an abuse syndrome.
Thats it he’s damaged goods, send him to therapy the primaries over.
Holy HOly HOLY chitttttttt
Did you all just hear H & C just now?
The two pollsters
The one had it spot on about NC voters flipping! Exactly!
Cartwheels!!!
Well I thought she’d take IN and NC couple days ago….lets hope it don’t fade….Farmers love Clinton….and her hubby Bill….
if obama loses nc, i hope he has the smarts to suspend his campaign. he can repair the damage and build his resume. down the road who knows! personally i’d like to see another bright attractive minority figure with less baggage.
Mayor Nutter comes to mind.
I think that new leaders have emerged — men and women who have stood up for what is right and that means supporting the candidate with an actual track record. The new leaders emerging will have a wonderful role model in Hillary!!!!
I am so impressed with the well-informed people who post on this site. hillaryresponders.com could certainly benefit from your expertise and your well-written, thoughtful comments.
Judith, can you give a little information about the web site, and it’s mission?
It looks interesting, if I can contribute I will, I’m sure others would want to, as well.
Simon, you are the one I had in mind. The group is called Hillary Rapid Responders. It is not an official Hilary Clinton site, but they police the media and respond to misleading articles about Hillary. They also send links for you to write letters to the editor at newspapers in the states with upcoming primaries. You are very informed on every issue you write about and I think you would be an eloquent Rapid Responder. You would be an excellent “first impression” for people who are still undecided. You also possess the knowledge neede to respond to writer’s in attack mode. I am posting the latest email from Hillary Responders FYI.
Action Alert! NEED RESPONDERS’ REBUTTTAL
Women ENews: Deficit-Hawk Clinton Preens Her Populist Feathers

Note: We thought the first rule of feminism was for a woman to be treated as an individual. So it is quite confusing when an author who is stated to be a leader in feminist economics makes assumptions and bold predictions that Senator Clinton will completely follow in the footsteps of past decisions made by her husband, President Clinton. When will Senator Clinton get judged by her decisions?
Excerpts:
Hillary Clinton’s victory over Barack Obama in the Pennsylvania primary last week has burnished her image as the candidate of the struggling anti-elite.
But if Husband Bill’s economic legacy is any guide, the shot-drinking woman-of-the-people hardly deserves that mantle, especially not at a time when low-wage workers need real leadership.
Hillary’s blue-collar credentials deserve a special scrub, given the extent to which she’s now wooing Indiana voters with intensifying promises of “jobs, jobs, jobs” and has long invoked Bill’s record as a reason to put another Clinton in the White House.
Hillary and Bill are both “deficit hawks” who believe in “pay as you go,” or cutting government spending to the point where it equals government revenue.
So when Hillary asks Wall Street to police itself, I ask why stop at asking the fox to guard the henhouse? Why not an invitation to dinner?
Hillary-for-President steadily touts the good times that rolled during her husband’s tenure.
That’s particularly inappropriate in view of the intensity of our economic crisis, which is more like the 1930s than any presidential candidates are so far willing to admit.

Thanks for bringing up the Hillary Rapid Responders! I’m on their e-mail list and have written many letters on Hillary’s behalf, it’s great. I highly recommend it to everyone here!
Wasn’t Hillary great tonight on Bill O’s show? I was so happy to watch her kick ass. Obama could NEVER handle Bill’s questioning.
You are right!!!
You know, garbage like this is why I’m completely fed up and disgusted with mainstream feminism. They piss and moan and whine up a storm about women who do the dreaded I’m Not A Feminist But, but you know what? Thank fucking GAWD for those women, because they’re all voting Hillary! It’s the nose in the air more-feminist-than-thou morons who are all going Obama to prooooove how empowerful they are by deliberately not voting for the woman, no matter how well-qualified she is. The whole thing just makes me sick.
Me too, Janis. Please consider writing to the author at the email listed. It won’t change her mind…but I think she would be taken aback at hundreds of complaints emailed to her job. It might make her think twice before writing a snarky article about a sister who worked so hard all of her life and proved that “it” can be done. However, this rapid responder group is equal opportunity…this case just happens to pertain to a female bashing our girl.
There’s a 98 yr old guy who is the good friend of my dear friend. By his age you know that he was born BEFORE women won the right to vote.
He is just amazed at some of the young women who refuse to vote for Hillary. HE knows Hillary is the best candidate and he voted for her.
“It was just a few years ago that you women couldn’t vote — I’d think you’d want to vote for one of your own.” He also remarks has smart Hillary is — he probably has a crush on her — since he adores strong, determined women.
Some of the 20 and 30 something young women who have no sense of history — and the massive struggles that have been waged by women in earlier decades — they are women’s worst enemies.
Not all — mind you — I wrote SOME of the . .
And then there’s my sister-in-law — Over 50 and just enamored with snObama. Dumb idiot — SHE remembers some of the battles.
well remember how they backed holy joe even after he threw them under the bus. they suffer from the inside the beltway mentality that the dems do.
turning the tide in NC!!!! Great news!!!! I spent some time calling there this afternoon.
Is reason actually going to break out?
Hey, I cant see the video. Is it just me???
In case anyone is interested Boston Legal ABC ( a very funny network show )
is doing a story on a Clinton supporter suing the DNC because her 22 yr. old nephew is a delegate for Obama and is voting against the will of the people.
Topical …..No ?……It’s very well written….
Very good show tonight. Sad thing…I can actually see it playing out in the courts this way. We Democrats need a better system than crooked caucuses, open primaries and suspicious bottomless pits of money for a particular Chicago Politician. But, the judge said to vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee…I would say the writer’s are for Hillary, regardless.
The dialogue is the best on TV….
Wow, wow, wow….
What else can I say. Hillary was brilliant on Bill O. I hope every undecided person who saw this tonight votes for her. She does not run and hide, she stands up for what she believes will be best for the USA.
Go Hillary!!!
She was great!
If that NC pol plays out and Hillary wins NC Obama REALLY should drop out for the good of the party.
Now we know why Obama finally threw Wright under the bus. It was for political expediency. Period.
This man has no conscience - no moral compass. He is a pure political animal who (we now know) will say or do anything to get a vote.
Like the Seinfeld Show Obama’s campaign is now about nothing.
Barrack Obama
NO SOUP FOR YOU!
Anything Obama does is for political expediency. We’ve known that for some time.
hillary clinton -
a great leader,
because she is not afraid to go into the lion’s den of olberman or o’reilly
and talk with them and charm them and arm-wrestle them to a draw.
america’s darling,
mine, too,
and my wife’s i should add,
who put up hillary signs in on our corner lot FOUR months ago, LONG before it was ABOUT to become popular to do so.
and those signs have been there since, enjoying the blooming sequence of
the pansies, the daffodils, and the roses.
Just to mention
On April 1st, Hillary was down 15 in NC in the InsiderAdvantage poll that currently has her up 2. She supposedly gained 17….hard to believe, but I’ll take it!

This is my take: The hard core Obama cult inside and outside the media will not its mind. At this point I assume therefore that Obama will be the nominee of the Democratic Party and that Senator McCain will become the next president. I do not like the likely outcome but that’s how it looks right now.
well johnson helped pass the civil rights bill and rightly so. the dems lost a major base for the next forty years. maybe that was a price that had to be paid. but now, this is so unnecessary. if they lose the independents, boomers, lationos, lunch bucket joes, what do they have besides a few latte drinkers and the aa’s. i don’t include the young vote. they aren’t stable.

There is a part II to the video of the Hill interview. I tried to post the link but the spam filter caught it. I have advised Susan so don’t E-mail her please. If you hunt around the O’riely video area you should be able to find it. I can’t even post the link to their Website. You know where it is.
OK its here now.

Hillary could have knifed Obama in the gut tonight when asked about Wright, if the rolls were reversed, Obama would have done it wil a smile on his face, Hillary showing true positivity, rolled over what could have been the fatal blow to Obama! Now who is really running the negative campaing and has been all along?
agree. she really went easy for Obama on that one.
Was O’Reilly adversarial?
I can’t get the video. Slow connection and antique computer.
Obama hotel room this afternoon!
Michelle: Seems yesterday isn’t working to well, people are talking Barack and it isn’t good!
Barack: umm errr ahh I know babe!
Michelle: Did you try calling Hillary today and discuss with her about how to handle this problem?
Barack: ummm ahh I did Babe, and she couldn’t talk, she was in an interview with Bill O’Reilly!
Michelle: WHAT, she is talking with him, she trying to sink herself out of the race for us?
Barack: Hold on babe, it is Axelrod on the phone….
That isn’t good Dave, anything we can do?……..I can’t do that Dave, O’Reilly is Fox, and we aren’t paying them anything, how about another go with KO, he loves me?……People see through that now huh, we can’t ummm you know bamboozle them anymore, get KO to make tougher questions like umm ahh does granny love me still, that sort of personal stuff the droids seem to gobble up?………Dave…Dave… Dave you there? Who is this? Plouffe, where is Axelrod?…Don’t try reviving him, tell me what is going on Plouffe……..no shit, holy fuck we are in trouble, call me back, we need to figure out how to deal with this now!
Michelle: What is going on?
Barack: Axelrod just collapsed, holding his chest in pain, was watching that whore Clinton on with O’reilly and even the staff are yelling Go Hill!
Michelle: That bitch will do anything to win, you better figure something out Dumbo ears!
Barack: I am going to need to give a speech on Racism and fast!
Michelle: You dumb fuck, you already did that a month ago!
Barack: Well I can always say I don’t recall talking about this issue and give it again anyhow, everyone loves the way I talk!
Michelle: Bozo, it is 3PM, time to get our prayer mats out, which way is Mecca, and where the fuck are we now anyhow?
Barack: Mecca is that way babe and we are in the middle of small town someplace in America, haven’t really a clue, no waffle hut around though, just a gun shop a church and a general store!
Michelle: Oh shit more bitter assholes again tonight, when will it end and Dean give us the nomination?
Barack: Have no idea babe, maybe he is bamboozling us, hear that idiot laugh, it is like a girl! I need a smoke!
Michelle: what about prayers?
Barack: I feel catholic today so hell with them!
Mel, you are funny. This reads like a skit for SNL!
What…? Where’s R-bob, jeff, and what’s his face? Happy hour at the college watering hole? Hillary just keeps blowing my mind. And to think, I never gave her two thoughts before the trolls started attacking her. Good job Trolls! You, yourselves, got Hillary elected. Next time remember the old saying “The squeaky wheel gets the grease.”
Don’t forget Kevin…
And my hero John Brown.
LMAO. I complimented the trolls who were whining about the “Wonderful Young Pastor” Otis Moss today:
So Strawberrybitch, I’m in total agreement with you, the trolls are their own worst enemies.
I had one of those baby epiphanies when I let myself get dragged into a senseless argument over minutia: “Wait a minuted, this is what this is all about.”
It could be the trolls themselves although they won’t admit it did not realize the “bigger truth” of the issue over Obama’s relationships with various religious “leaders.”
This poll wont make it to Taegan Goddard’s site. He’d like to include it, I’m sure, but there’s this online poll of kindergardeners in Gary, Indiana who prefer Barack over Hillary that he has to give precedence to.
Because polls like this make the Baby Obama and the Baby Obambots cry.
I hate to put my trust in polls, and I don’t. That does not mean that I can’t indolge in wishfull thinking tonight. Great news for Hill’s supporters. And her interview was … well, Hillary at her best.
PS: Mel, LMAO with that script :).
CNN just said that the SD in congress have had a meeting and endorsed one of the candidates and informed the cadidate of their decission!
Ohhh, hell … I wonder who?! Don’t have to wonder. What the hell is going on?
If it’s who I think it is, I’m off to change my voter registration, and I might never rejoin the party. It will be nothing less than a fucking coup.
When the party turns to Barack Obama as it’s nominee, I turn away from the party. It’s really that simple.
We will start a new centrist party if that happens. Plenty of current Democrats and Republicans would take a serious look at it. I would jump to it in a heartbeat if Hillary is forced out NOW, especially with her opponent emasculating himself before our very eyes.
If the Democratic Party wishes to commit political suicide I won’t join them.
Oh, John, I think they plan to loose the election, so they don’t have to be held responsible for the hard times we’re living in. If McCain wins, they could blame it all on him, and don’t have to do nothing (just like they have done nothing in the past two years.) It hurts, it hurts to see what they are going to do to this country, to dems, and to this smart, brave woman.
It is called election tampering, chalk another score up to the Republicans to have talking points in a GE!
Reps. Bruce Braley (D-IA), Baron Hill (D-IN), and Lois Capps (D-CA) Endorse Obama;
WTF are these guys thinking?
that is strategy only, they announce when it suits the needs of the candidate
Lois Capps is mother-in-law to one of the spokepersons for Obama. As a matter of fact, he announced her endorsement. Strategy, like Mel said, and bull-s, I say lol.
I checked news.google and CNN’s Website, including its video library, and no sight and least yet of this story. I did find some videos of Michelle O trying to help her self-emasculated hubby get over the Wright disaster.
I’ll check later.
Scanned the tv news networks and no sign of this story.
was said on 360 tonight right before the praise michelle interview with caroline kennedy who could only stump obamabot crap that makes her look really really really stupid
This makes no sense to me at all. Will have to wait and see.
CNN’s source was Politico, who in turn got it from……guess who?
Claire McCaskill. LOL! I am not too worried. Claire was the one who has pushed the “50 superdelegates are going to endorse any day now” rumor about 4 times now.
THANK YOU. I kinda of thought it was some total bullshit from an alternate reality other than the one we live in.
The trolls will say. “Fox is biased towards Hillary”, I still can’t believe they think that CNN is pro Hillary.
If they say that, ask them why MSNBC is so “Hillary friendly.”
That woman rocks so hard geologists call her Hillarite.
That is cool.
I’m gonna use THAT one again! Thanks.
What a GREAT GREAT day and night! Thank you No Quarter and Thank YOU HILLARY!!!
gnite
peace

“Indiana Black Voters Feeling Ignored”
Time magazine.
I guess Barry thinks he’s got the AAs in the bag and its only the crackers he needs to worry about. The brothers don’t like getting thrown under the bus along with his grandmother, his mentor, and every other ethnic group.
I say get used to it b/c Obi does not care about them at all. If he gets elected, he will give them a middle finger. They are not so bright by running away from the Clintons. Bill did alot for AA community but they have back-stabbed the Clintons.
just look at those rat infested buildings in Chicago. It tells the whole story about Obi. The guy don’t give a fuck about AA.
barrack threw the aa’s under the bus the first time he shook hands with rezko.
I saw a piece where the black media were complaining that he doesn’t buy very many ads from them either. In PA, they skipped a few areas on the whistle stop too. There was a piece on that, basically, why stop in places where you KNOW the vote is yours? These are signs, unfortunately they are not always exactly understood for what they are.
http://www.mediachannel.org/wordpress/2008/04/24/obama-snubs-black-media/
When you try to be all things to all people you end up leaving no image of any kind. Barack Obama. Invisible man. See who/what you want to see. This is the problem that the AA community had with him when Michelle Obama went on the record with her “I’m completely confident black America will wake up and get it.”
The college students see “hopeychangey.” The Ayers crowd sees “burnbabyburn.” Democratic power in DC see “noclinton” “stringpullingforfouryears.”
He’s a half empty glass and you supply the rest.
well we are going to break that glass if they screw us. dems plan on being out in the cold for a generation if you put that hapless obama up there.
Watch out! The insider poll “under” sampling AA voters. 20% in poll vs 40% in NC demographic.
Need to keep working on the phone call.
any super-delegate that is in congress is going to pay politically in the end for supporting obama. did you hear today that roseann barr said that she would agree with a riot in denver if the dnc keeps screwing around with florida and michigan’s votes. i could go for that ! and if they give it to obama knowing what we know about him now, i will go to the convention and join that riot …..
To say I am impressed with this interview is a vast understatement. Hillary is a real fighter. She doesn’t back down. And we need that severely in our next President.
That woman should be the President!
I was thinking today, about Marc Grossman, who, according to Sybil Edmonds, was overheard, on tape, warning Turkey about Brewster Jennings, a CIA front company.
So, Grossman has such big balls, he’s willing to take on the CIA, and others who don’t like to see agents affected, or the defense of their country betrayed?
Grossman BETRAYED his country, and the security of it’s agents, for how much, I wonder?
That’s either some big balls, or some lil brains.
I’m thinking ‘lil brains.
‘lil balls, too.
he was on tape, wasn’t he?
[...] Bill O’Reilly Open Thread [Updated] [...]
God, I thought Hillary was fantastic. I was glad O’reilly put her through the grinder. She proved she could handle any situation, any question, any circumstance. I thought O’Reilly was impressed by her. That was the feeling I got. He IS full of himself and other things most of the time, but he really found out that a Clinton WILL not and CANNOT back down in any circumstance. Is this not who we want running this country? You bet your life it is.
A family member is serving in Iraq, was sent earlier this week, and I’ve started preparing care packages for him, as he’s stationed in an isolated outpost of hell, apparently (saw some pictures, the historical scenery is fascinating, though).
And I’m very much into proper organic healthy foods, I don’t care for feeding people foods laced with chemicals or artificial ingredients (with the exception of gummy bears, and gummy life savers, sour gummy life savers).
But as I was shopping for him, (he’s a marine) I understood his environment prohibits him keeping fresh food, or even unadulterated foods, as the infrastructure is not there to support it’s healthy preservation. He’s simply trying to survive in a land that has been demolished, that cannot even provide basic electricity or health care to it’s people (thanks to Mr Cheney’s and Bush, the two biggest morons on the face of the earth, save their staffs, and even then, it’s a toss up). In college, while taking general chem (in addition to my English classes, biology and english lit, double major, one for me, one for my Dad) I remembered reading about nitrites, and cancer. The counter argument was preservatives prevented many deaths by prohibiting mold and bacterial growths, while also allowing for greater distribution of food items, alleviating hunger, as decay was halted. As the West progressed, this became less of an issue, (spoilage), healthy food storage became less of an issue, our culture can absorb change fairly easily. Organic? No problem, a trip to the market, a change of habit, local growing, no more nitrates. But the poor, for many reasons, don’t have this option, yet, and Iraq is poor, desolate, destroyed.
So, I went and bought the damned cup o noodles, and I will buy the non organic beef jerky, because the risk from food poisoning is greater with fresh foods, there.
I figure I can do my best to feed him great, or even good literature, right now, maybe exposing him to books he otherwise wouldn’t pick up. Like the rest of the family, he is a voracious reader.
Maybe something about nutrition, maybe it will pique his interest, and he will make good decisions.
gummy bears, the gummy ‘er the better.
We will keep your family member in our thoughts and prayers.
Simon…Just wanted to say the Jerky is an excellent thing to send him.
I know it sounds strange but Cowboys in both America and Australia had developed a tradition of healthy travel foods that kept in similar environments…..You can find lots of info in books and on the net. Ditto the sentimens of Teakwoodkite….
AQ Khan, wasn’t he married to Rita Hayworth?
Uh huh, that’s right, precious…
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL…
http://i.cnn.net/cnn/2004/WORLD/asiapcf/02/04/pakistan.nuclear.timeline.reut/vstory.pakistan.khan.afp.jpg
I was reading about him, today, and I just don’t think he’s that much a threat.
Nothign worse, than waking up one day to find yourself smack dab in the middle of an NSA troll, only armed with the IQ of Dick Cheney, or worse, George Bush…
I mean, where did “mr khan” think American security went?
To china?
more troops in Iraq would not help, the war as it is being fought by those morons is nothing more than two sides trying to prove a negative, thereby internecine, but the ME’s are smarter than cheney’s dinks, hell the Russians learned what to do when the US did this to them in Afghanistan, with the cold war, but cheney’s morons missed it, republican group think, look at the level of moron troll here.
Guess Harvard didn’t pay off, good to know!
it needs to emerge into another cold war type scenario, absent the military hardware, with only the terrorists trying to prove that negative, with US presence shaping. Intelligent people this time, though.
US defense was predicted on not fighting a negative, only cheney’s morons failed to grasp it, which is what happens when a half wit like rove cheats his way into the presidency.
Any means necessary just means chaos, it’s not poetry, it is suicide, and I would venture our defense knows too.
It’s very difficult establishing any type of democratic system in the middle east, but if they get it, which cheney can’t, not smart enough so you have to look beyond his thinking, and that of stupid press, well, it might work.
And troll boy, do your own work every one knows you’re dumber than brick, anyway, and you don’t get it, so , well, here, let me do it for you:
You’re insane, you’re in denial, you need your meds.
I wish you were beautiful, troll, I wish you were smart, fanboi…
Just like your trolls, I could see your reply three miles away…
heh.
