Whore, baby killer, stupid, racist

So what else do you have on offer tonight, Christopher?

You know damned well that Obama wasn't even in Congress when the Iraq war vote took place, that he has admitted he DOES NOT KNOW how he would've voted had he been in Congress, and that he has voted to fund the Iraq war EVERY TIME since he has been eligible to do so. But go ahead, blast away at Hillary Clinton and her supporters. You are an incredible hater, I'll give you that much.

@Heal

At the risk of turning this into another episode of naa naa boo boo...I've taken a tremendous amount of heat on salon in part because I don't hesitate to call out Obama supporters when they clearly cross the line. I've been called a racist countless times (KKKate is an old favorite), a bitch, a douche bag, ignorant, stupid, bitter useless old woman, I've been equated with women's sanitary napkins - the list goes on. Hillary Clinton has been called pretty much the same and worse. But almost never does an Obama supporter call out a fellow Obama supporter when this happens. Nope, no way. The nastiness goes on unchecked until a Clinton supporter checks in. There's an obvious solution here: you and other Obama supporters can take on the job of calling foul. This would be much appreciated and I say that in all sincerity.

"But the difference between you and I is that I'm right and you're stupid."

That was a joke from the (out of print) far right handbook, unless I miss my guess.

@RonSmith - missing records

In the interest of full disclosure: what you didn't address in your post is the fact that there is no paper trail extant for Obama's years in the Illinois Senate. From what I've read, Obama has carefully covered up his political footprints from that time period. Why? Is this more of the new politics?

@HP Give. It. A. Rest

"Hilary runs positive ads in NC and IN...And, as I prediected, loses 2-3 points in every subsequent poll. Because all she has is hate. She needs to go WAY negative or she goes downhill. I really beleive that she'll run some Jesse Helms / Williw Horton ads in WV and KY."

Your post is not only an exercise in self contradiction, it's yet another attempt to stoke the fires of hatred. STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT.

@myname

The Obama camp's definition of 'troll' is: anyone who supports Clinton. This mindless accusation is made over and over. How often do you see Clinton supporters accusing Obamaites of being trolls? The answer would be: almost never.

HP & code

The code you are clearly implying is this, HP: Hillary Clinton is a race baiter and attracts racists to her cause by running an (implicitly racist) negative campaign which runs (implicitly racist) ads. Why is it that so many, far too many, Obamaites cannot begin to grasp that Hillary Clinton is liked and admired by millions of supporters for reasons having absolutely nothing to do with race, and having everything to do with the belief that she is clearly the superior candidate?

@ronsmith - missing recods, Part II

Read this and then tell Judicial Watch they're blowing smoke re the lack of Obama records from his years in the IL Senate:

@ronsmith

As you requested, here are my comments:

1) The Marc Rich pardon was pretty sleazy and, though I had stuck with Bill Clinton all through the impeachment debacle, I finally felt he had really crossed a line here. However, Hillary Clinton didn't issue the pardon, so this point is immaterial re her candidacy.

2) The NYTimes has the clear option of asking for public records from any candidate, but the financial records you cite are not Hillary Clinton's. They are her husband's. So this point, too, is immaterial.

3) You see Hillary's statement about Bosnia as a blatant lie. The fact is she did travel to Bosnia of her own volition in dangerous times and conditions. Why not cite her for her courage and accept the strong possibility that she was very nervous upon landing and may actually have remembered the danger as being more immediate than it actually was? As it turns out, conditions upon her arrival were pretty darned close to what she described. Nevertheless, she has been beaten to death with her statement. Also, Obama has lied about or misrepresented many issues, some of them central to how voters might view his character. Do you hold Obama to the same tough standard? If not, why not?

4) I'm not aware of Hillary having 'forgotten' to read the 2002 NIE statement. I am aware that at the time of the Iraq vote, she represented the state of New York, which includes NYC, which incurred the brunt of 9/11 losses. This had to have been pretty fresh in her mind when the vote came up and may have had a lot to do with it. As far as Obama's pronouncement to the citizens of Ilinois re the advisability of the Iraq war: what did he have to lose by saying this? Nothing. As I stated before, Obama himself has said on more than one occasion (and written) that he does not know how he might have voted had he been in the US Senate. He may well have voted 'aye'. Why do you keep ignoring the latter possibility? And why have the media repeatedly allowed Obama to skate on this, as the war vote was all important re how Obama defined himself in opposition to Clinton?
