Obama Supporters

Why do so many pro-Clinton arguments start with "Obama supporters raised the spectre of.."

Does anyone else smell bullshit? I'm a Obama supporter, guess what I called Clinton last night over dinner with friends? I'll leave it to your imagination.

Except, here's the thing, try to follow along, I don't work for Obama. I'm not an Obama surrogate.

And I'm not Mark Penn, Terry Mcauliff, James Carville, Geraldine Ferarro or Bill Clinton himself. Worse, some of the more damaging stuff comes straight from the horses mouth.

These people, on the payroll of HRC for President, simply cannot control themselves. They are pathologically cutthroat. They are get lathered up in gleefull shadenfreude at the slightest evidence of the Obama campaign wearing down so much that they do not even hear it when they mouth a breathless endorsement for the F*CKING REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.

To quote Elliott Smith, "deaf and dumb and done."

Please just stop it already. The jig is up. Go home, because if you win the primary with these dirty tricks, I might as well vote Nader or Ron Paul or write in "hope deferred". Because I will be a stolen primary.

A better plan

Would be to just sit back and let her do what comes naturally to her. That would leave more money in the coffers for the McCain swearing-in bonanza.

Independant Democrat

= Crypto Zionist?

Who are you kidding, Uncle Joe, the Senator from Tel Aviv? Please go back to your Ferangi home-world and stop calling yourself a Democrat.

It's all clear now,

Obviously, Neoconservatives are all adherents to "The Secret".

Readers of UT, all we need to do is "ask the Universe" for what we want and BLAMMO!

Or maybe they are crypto Scientologists, in which case we are all really and truly fscked.

Absolutely

But only in middle-aged white men.

Hillary would just fscking DROP OUT ALREADY..

Jesus christ

What, is this an episode of "In Treatment?" Mr. Good Hair's feelings were hurt? A spousal feud? Obama was a big jerk because he knew he had this buttoned up?

I give up.

2008 Presidential election, short version: choose between the old rich white guy, the rich white woman lawyer or the rich black lawyer.

Nom de plume

Clinton assisted Walmart in its end-run around organized labor in this country, and her husband went the step further in helping to pass NAFTA. She is no working class hero, but I can think of a descriptor that fits. Starts with "C".

@miclarke

Actually, polls have been showing that a much larger percentage of Hillary supporters intend to vote McCain. It's called reality....haven't been around that much, have you?

Yes, and those would be the war-mongering Zionist branch of the extreme right-wing faction of America's Demopublican Party. They, and the people they support, can jump off a cliff.

Also, they are in the minority.

America doesn't want to keep killing its children in defense of Israel and Saudi Arabia. They want jobs and peace.

Yes..

All women have a right to prostrate themselves before an imaginary (and male) God. The 19th Century is calling and wants its sexual politics back.

Monday, March 31, 2008 09:12 PM

Hah

Hah! I wish I had an inalienable right to choose to have sex. The choice that should be inalienable is only the choice to say "no" - "yes" requires a partner, who should also be able to say "no"...

The employees of "Good Vibrations" might take offense at that claim.

Happy Birthday Me

Al Gore, Christopher Walken and most notably, "Countdown: with Keith Olbermann."

Watching his show over the past several months, and more closely over the past few weeks I have noticed a trend:

Greenwald picks up on an issue, runs with it.

It gets picked up or written about in parallel on DKos or HufPo, etc.

A day or two later, Olbermann mentions the issue in the Countdown.

Recently, the lag time of this news cycle has shortened even more.

Glenn, I understand you do not agree with everything Olbermann seems to stand for and vice-versa, but I can't think of a better birthday gift for me than to have you on Countdown once or twice a week from now until November hammering these media lowlifes from Olbermann's pulpit.

Also, see if your agent can get you on the Colbert Report.

I already ordered your book back months ago when it was on pre-sale on Amazon, and I expect I will be ordering more very soon. Good luck and keep up the good work.
