Hillary Clinton's Texas-size moment

All that mattered about the showdown in Austin was whether she could stop Barack Obama's momentum. Were her powerful closing words a magic bullet?

The letters thread is now closed.

more plagiarism

General Franco: We have nothing to fear but bills.

"Hillary": We have nothing to eat, Bill.

R. Nixon: Burn the tapes!

"Hillary": I am burning my bra.

Quentin Tarintino: Can we get more blood?

"Hillary": I hear the new guy is a blood.

There's more, but you get the idea.

Dear Obama Vermin - don't dish it out if you can't take it back.

For months and months you've been bullying the best and most qualified candidate in town. Of either party.

But you thought it was such as scream when your criminal hero was taking help from Rove, cherry-picking the speeches of teh most black friendly President in US history to start a race-war down in South Carolina.

You thought it was great when your hefty Oprah was hoofing like a cow on stage for him, and you were all so eager to tell lies about the best Administration of our lifetimes.

You thought it was a hoot when BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA and his potty-mouthed wife , knowingly accepting votes from GOPsters who were only voting for him in the primary and had no intention in the general election (and he knew it too)

and tried to paint open primaries as some sort of "mandate"

You don't like the truth about your Hussein-Obama history. Well, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! I'm only warming up and I can guarantee you the GOP has bankrolls of dirt on the slimeball ready to go.

He IS a criminal and he's going down. He's going to be broken and crying by the end of June. If not sooner.

You reap what you sow, vermin.

Deal with it.

The uglies are still out in force

Look at them go, with their "Hussein-Obama" nonsense, etc.

Hey, uglies. What's your real motivation?

Do you hate Obama because he is triumphing over Hillary? Is that it?

Or do you hate him for some other reason? (Maybe you're McCain supporters who are worried about McCain losing?)

Whatever the reason, why do you need to make up fake arguments against Obama? Why not stick to real things that you can prove and that you provide links and evidence for? Would that be a lot to ask?

Anyway, for those who missed it:

Dear Anonymous Vermin - don't dish it out if you insist on hiding your name.

It's hilarious how you say "don't dish it out if you can't take it" while going to such lengths to hide your name.

Friday, February 22, 2008 08:45 PM

Yes!

You see what I mean, Anonymous guy? Pure gold! Before I checked in here, I was thinking along the lines of "Hey, I voted, I donated a couple hundred bucks, Obama seems to be cruising, I'm gonna sit back and enjoy the ride." But my man was smart enough to hire you to crank out a reasonable fascimile of right-wing vitriol to spark us up again and keep the support levels high.

Now, I suppose there are people out there launching similar diatribes at the right-wing party faithful, but that's fine. We'll dominate the airwaves thanks to your fundraising assistance!

Xrandadu,

I know, it's baffling. I wonder how many of them know that the man was named after his father? Yes, first, middle, and last names. And I wonder how many of them know the meanings of the names? Barack means "blessed." Hussein means "good and handsome one." (It's also almost as common as "Smith" in Arabic nations, but I don't expect this genius to absorb that.) So Barack Obama is the blessed, good, handsome one? Damn straight he is!

@ Anonymous 08:36 PM, I don't usually address anonymous posters but that the hell right-wing rock did you crawl out from under?

Do you not realize that you are posting at a progressive site? Are you yet another Anonymous Coward, Troll, Idiot come to annoys us?

I hope people will have the good sense to henceforth ignore you and to ignore those other Anonymous blah-blah-blahs who don't have the guts to put even a username on their posts.

Let me ask you:

Do you have a crime to confess?

Are you throwing up every morning in the toilet bowl?

Were you molested by your mother?

Are you a whistle blower from KBR?

Have you embezzled from your boss?

Were you raped last Sunday?

Are you hiding out in a witness protection program?

If it is none of the above or no circumstance similar, then it is utter crap that you have any need to post anonymously and your use of Obama's middle name, which he himself does not use, is nothing but Islamofascist fear-baiting.

Just so no one misses Obama's own contribution to keeping the silly season going:

From http://hotlineblog.nationaljournal.com/

Tonight, Sen. Obama said: “In Youngstown, Ohio, I talked to workers who have seen their plants shipped overseas due to consequences of poor deals it's like NAFTA that have literally seen equipment unbolted from the floors of factories and shipped to China.” [CNN Univision Debate, 2/21/08]

John Kerry in 2004: “What does it mean in America today when Dave McCune, a steel worker I met in Canton, Ohio, saw his job sent overseas and the equipment in his factory literally unbolted, crated up, and shipped thousands of miles away along with that job?” [Kerry Remarks, Democratic Convention, 7/29/04]

Apparently Obama couldn't stand the thought that he would unjustly try to label Clinton with plagiarism so he made a similar contribution to the art of borrowing. What a gent! We can compare the two. His is about like hers. Just like their programs -- except for health care, where she surpasses him. It is really rather easy. Either vote for a plagiarizer who won't admit he is one or vote for the woman with more experience and a better health care program.

Double post, AKASmith

You're no better than that fascist troll in your tactics.

You advise us to "vote for the woman" instead, so I guess that makes you a "sexist troll."

Friday, February 22, 2008 09:02 PM

AKA, who could "miss it"?

You posted it on page 44 and then you posted it again on page 45 in case anyone "missed it"?

Post it again on page 46. You know, in case anyone missed it.

Gee whiz. Breathe into a paper bag.

Friday, February 22, 2008 09:06 PM

AKA, I checked the Wikipedia article on plagiarism.

Just as you suggested I do. Know what it said?

"Plagiarism is presumably not an issue when organizations issue collective unsigned works since they do not assign credit for originality to particular people."

Guess what. A political campaign is an organization. And a political speech is a collective unsigned work.

Go jump in a lake, to coin a phrase.
