Obama fans are disgusting. Kantor has never even said the word.
This is more proof of how gullible and sleazy the Obama cultists are. Embarrassing scum.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/0...n_n_99810.htmlMickey Kantor, who served as campaign chairman during Clinton's 1992 run for the White House and says he has offered help and advice to Sen. Clinton, insisted that the tape was a fraud and that he was exploring legal steps against the individual who posted it online.
"I've never used that word in my entire life, ever, under any circumstance, ever," an angry Kantor told The Huffington Post, citing his and his parent's work fighting for civil rights.
Joan, you know it's false but your headline suggests it might be true.
Salon's tortured idea of "fair."
Disgusting.
I dunno. I'm sick of this scandal du jour shit, but it DOES seem like that's what he said.
I'll go out on a limb here and guess Obama "seems like" an honest, different, and capable leader to you, right?
It is almost worth seeing just to remember why I once found Carville tolerable and likable. I sure don't find him that way now.
Carville hasn't changed, Bill Clinton who you once admired hasn't changed, Krugman hasn't changed, Joe Wilson hasn't changed. None of them changed. You adapted your thinking to your cult's dictates.
The most important identifying characteristic of a cult is subservience to the leader or group that requires members to cut ties with family and friends, and adopt an "us versus them" mentality. Any person perceived as dissenting from the cult's mission is "them."
Clinton and Carville and the rest "changed" one year ago. Rev. Wright changed a week ago. Etc.
But did you always think they were assholes or just good at what they did?
Sorry you're bitter that your candidate is losing.
I'm bitter your candidate wants to win "affirmative action" style, by excluding two big, important states and millions of voters and claiming caucus wins through intimidation and disenfranchisement in Republican states makes him "electable."
You support excluding votes in two big, important states so don't deny it and don't pretend you care about "DNC rules."
Obama's attempt to steal the nomination isn't tough politics as usual, it's scumbaggery and it earned McCain 4 votes in my household.
Proud of it?
Obama supporters have no credibility. They're either braindead cultists or scumbags who hope their candidate wins by excluding voters.
but then I hear him whisper "How would you like to be a worthless white "igger".
No you didn't, you only think you did because someone told you to. Mickey Kantor has never used the word.
Zombie.
Do you have anything besides attacks like this?
Find me an Obamabot that doesn't pretend he only wants to exclude millions of voters because of "DNC rules" who isn't either braindead (doesn't believe his messiah could do such a thing) or a liar (scum who knows Obama is doing it and likes it), and I'll retract my comment.
Otherwise it remains an empirical observation, not an attack.
The problem with many Clinton supporters is that they just can't see a diiference between the using the tactics that they had to use in the 90's against a group of right wind lunatcs who were constantly inventing lies to spread about the Clintons and using those tactics against a fellow democrat in a primary race in which the Republican candidate has already been decided.
Obama began this race by calling Reagan's presidency a success and Clinton's presidency a failure.
Obama began this race by saying the Clinton presidency was "divisive" and we need Barack Obama to be a "uniter not a divider."
Clinton's presidency was divisive because Clinton was a Democrat who won. Obama didn't stand up to those right wing lunatics you write about like Carville, he JOINED them and rewrote history by pointing the finger of blame at Clinton. He lived through the years in question so it was just another Obama lie.
She can't get the nomination without turning off huge voter blocs that the democrats can't win without.
If you think it's not easier for Clinton to win back black voters than for Obama to win back elderly voters who think Obama is a dangerous countercultural Trojan horse, white working class voters who know Obama lied to them about saying they go to church and hunt because they're stupid and confused, middle class whites who think Obama is too weak to be commander in chief, or working women voters I don't know what to tell you.
None of the groups Obama has alienated think he's suitable for the presidency and they don't think it's in their self interest to elect him. They think McCain is much more acceptable and he can never win them back.
A Democratic loss in November will be Barack Obama's legacy, an embarrassment and education for his supporters, and hopefully the end of his political career.
It would hardly be fair to Obama to have the Michigan vote count since his campaign followed the rules and removed his name from the ballot
There was no rule about including his name on the ballot. It was up to the candidates. Obama chose to not risk offending other early states. Clinton took that hit.
Since you don't know what happened, I'll generously put you in the "braindead" category and not the "scum" category.
