Obama the Machiavellian Dream
[Read the article: A new low in Clinton bashing]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obama Exploited This? This whole thing enraged me when I first heard of it on Friday. It enrages me now.
Wow! That's the most calculated thing I've heard. And people talk about Clinton. That has to be the most Machiavellian thing I heard to date in this campaign.
Obama's campaign emailed out Olbermann's words in an email to his supporters? I've never received anything like that damning Obama from Clinton. How much you wanna bet Obama and Olbermann are in cahoots with THAT one!
What's obvious to me is that his campaign saw a way to NOT have to offer Clinton the VP, and what better way than to help Politico follow through with true Machiavellian twisting of her words and the meaning of them and have Obama supporters eat it up and spit it out adnauseaum. Twist in that knife and damn Clinton eternally. This is more far more deeply calculated than Clinton could ever have been. It's down there.
They found what they were looking for in Clinton's words and pushed it around twisting so far it's not even recognizable to what she actually said. But, hey, it'll feed the MSM sharks who'll eat at anything that buys them ratings. Obama supporters are so lobotomitized they'll buy anything he says enmasse. If Obama told them the sky was orange instead of blue and had never been blue, they'd be screaming at anyone who said otherwise.
The bad part about it is IT IS SO CALCULATED. And Obama is really betting that this is so far beneath the radar of most people's intelligence, that it will slide by. Well almost!
The problem is it will be a prime piece that tears the party apart because when it becomes apparent to Clinton's supporters (you know, the ones he's HAS to HAVE in order to win in November) that Obama basically used this to destroy Clinton, you can bet this will be a chicken that comes home to roost.
You really got to wonder how low these people will go? This is truly ugly. This has to be the most disgusting tripe the Obama campaign has pulled so far.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Of course no fair-minded person thinks Hillary meant to say "hey, he could always get shot, you know."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Please.
You must be joking. Or else you are blind. Look around here. That's exactly what these "fair-minded" people are saying.
You know, that's the whole fricking point isn't? Of what she "supposedly" meant. The whole contrived thing. Your pretense that it's something else is nothing dissembling at its worst.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]And how, pray, how did you get the link to the video? Did it just poof out of the air?
No, you were directed there by an article, a post, etc. One that ALREADY had the pushed the thought that what Clinton said was somehow inappropriate.
Sorry, but you, like the rest, were TOLD how to think and how to reinterpret what you saw and heard before you even got to it. You EXPECTED IT to be bad and you bought it as such. Just like all the rest. It's called created bias.
A stage hypnotist could do as much. And has.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]"The only interpretation of her comment was I'm staying around in case someone clips Obama."
More Obama extremist nonlogic. Do any of you EVER think? Ever?
Wow, the mangled twisted interpretation of her comment has REALLY served her, didn't it? Really, REALLY helped her a lot! Made a HUGE difference.
If it really would have served her, WHY NOT COME OUT AND JUST SAY IT? "I'm staying around in case someone clips Obama." Those superdelegates would surely have been convinced to vote for her by that! Wow!
But the idiocy, the sheer lack of common sense on this just so of escapes Obama extremists. Somebody drop you all n your head as children, or what?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Oh, yeah, some reality! An implied threat in Clinton's words would really have nail the nomination for her. But that logic escapes Obama extremists doesn't it.
And it's obvious from that video that the Obama campaign calculatedly planned this to slime Clinton. Putting out emails to "interpret" exactly what Clinton's words meant.
If that isn't Rove slime tactics 101, I don't know what is! Obama really learned his lesson from Rove didn't he?
Yeah, Obama supporters really think for themselves.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]"On top of that I challenge anyone to find one dirty nasty trick played by Obama himself. Find a single time where Obama said something nasty and untrue about Hillary meant to bring out the worst in people."
Seriously? You must be joking?
Well, considering the downright stupidity of the way Clinton's comment was twisted to serve the nastiest impulses, I would this is one of his worst nasty tricks. This is as nasty and as untrue and absolutely meant to bring out the worst in people that there is. And it certainly has.
Obama is as dishonest in this as a person can be. This was a calculated move obviously meant to take full advantage of whatever poisonous idiocy could be created.
Obama has cost us the election because of this, pure and simple.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Paraphrase:
Question - Why are you staying in the race?
Answer - Kennedy was assassinated."
Paraphrase? How about telling the truth.
Paraphrase:
Question - Why are you staying in the race?
Answer - The campaigns in the past didn't end until June, why should they end early now?
But it's not as "viceral", is it? Not as Hate Clinton, is it?
What is IGNORING REALITY, is that there NOTHING for Clinton to have GAINED by insinuating anything about assassination within the campaign. What? The superdelegates are that crazy that their going to be wowed by that? What? People are going to go, "wow, that's great of Clinton, let's vote for her! because of it?
Grow a brain! Use some common sense! But you'd have to admit all this was all a lie about Clinton, wouldn't you. And god forbid you should do that!
