  • Rose, you Hillbots are turning into wingnuts

    [Read the article: The "bitter" vote]

    As Rachael Maddow said to Morning Joe, the facts don't meet your storyline.

    I doubt the disenfranchised bother Obama. He has done all he can to block MI and FL from leaving the vote as it stands or give Senator Clinton more delegates because she won big.

    Really? Like what. Same a single thing he's done to "block them". A single thing. Or are you so far gone that you can't tell the difference between reality and your wishful thinking?

    He tried to justify his rude and condescending comments about the working class in PA by saying they cling to their religion because no one is listening to them.

    As Morris pointed out, the people Obama was speaking of aren't offended or agree with him whole heartedly. It's also telling that the blather about "bittergate" comes from Hillary, McCain, and highly paid media blowhards: millionaires all.

    Obama seems to have a silver tongue and the idea that his justification satisfies many is frankly, frightening to me.

    Yes, I can see how giving straight answers to uncomfortable questions while treating the listener as an adult would frighten you. If he just avoided the issues with lame excuses like "I was tired" when caught lying through his teeth about sniper fire, you'd love him.

    I was disappointed in the ABC debate which Obama did not enjoy being held to task for his friendship with the Rev. Wright

    Yes, let's talk more about Rev. White, who hated his country so much he voluntarily gave up his student deferment to serve as a Marine in Vietnam. And then volunteered to be a medical corpsman in the war.

    or his PA insulting comments

    When is the Hillary campaign going to answer making real (as opposed to imagined) insults of states that didn't vote for her?

    Rose, you have the right to your own opinion, but you don't have the right to your own set of facts or reality. And reality has a well known anti-Hillary bias. That you make up your own puts you right up there with the wingnuts that still defend George W. Bush on everything he does.

  • Still waiting for Salon's feminists to give Hillary equal treatment...

    [Read the article: Attention, pundits. It ain't over]

    ...treatment equal to the month of quibbling, nitpicking, parsing and making mountains out of molehills that they've done to Obama. Where's the grousing over Tuzla? The handwringing over NAFTA? The denouncing and rejecting of Governor Rendell over sucking up to the dreaded Louis Farrakhan?

    Or as Mr. Uygur says of Hillary, maybe you've just been full of crap the whole time?

  • Love the sexist headline

    Plenty of other quotes you could have used instead.

  • so much debunkin, so little time

    Treeple:

    Hillary-haters

    Opposition to Hillary amongst Democrats is 100% based on her actions, period. If, as Micheal Moore said, she had voted with her conscious instead of her calculator on Iraq and Kyl-Lieberman, she would have had the cakewalk she was expecting. Pretending that the resistance to her candidacy is kneejerk "Hillary hate" is as much disingenuous bullshit as wingnuts that blow off any criticism of Bush (such as on torture or Katrina) are merely engaging in "Bush bashing" or "playing the blame game."

    take heed--there was support for her. Not just aversion to alternatives, but support. I know it is really, really hard for some of you to believe, but it's really important to believe it! What did she offer that Obama didn't? What will Obama NEED to offer?

    When are Hillary supporters going to take heed of the fact that more people support Obama than Hillary? When are you going to deal with the fact that she lost this race over a month ago? And good luck with that hostage taking; tell us again how respected Nader and Nader voters are these days?

    Working class Dems and older voters see him for what he truly is--a slick self-serving charlatan.

    Projecting again I see. Explain to us again how a self-made man is a phony while the the lady worth $100 million who lies about her support for NAFTA and sniper fire is the real deal?

    how does it feel to see your candidate get crushed tonight? Feel good, huh? Enjoy! He's a loser and Hillary has eviscerated him!

    Yawn. She was ahead by 20% or more in polls just a few weeks ago. He's gained support while she's lost it. And for the Hillbots claiming that if Obama couldn't win Pennsylvania he couldn't win the general, how about Hillary and North Carolina, eh?
