Who does Edwards frighten more? The corporate media -- or the Hillary campaign?

[brentspeak]

Wait, my goof: they apparently are part of the same thing.

[rodeodance]

1. it is the Robin Hood figure that scares many

[Rabo Karabekian]

2. Hillary Said Uncle I Think

I hate Hillary as much as the next guy (or gal), but it's getting pretty vicious; even for me.

[MonkeyFunk]

3. Why is it that "fear" is always attributed as the motivation?

People/the media/etc/ are all "frightened" of Kucinich/Edwards/etc.

I doubt anybody or anything is terribly afraid of Edwards, or Kucinich, or anybody else running.

Sometimes people just oppose some candidates. Sometimes they just find some candidates irrelevant. It's not all about fear.

[SaveElmer]

5. It's their lame attempt to stifle criticism of their candidates...

Everytime someone says something unflattering about Edwards...the immediate cry among his supporters is we must be getting worried about him....

Lame...and transparent...

[Rabo Karabekian]

6. Of Course They're Scared of Them

Why did they shoot Bobby Kennedy? Trust me, they're afraid of Kucinich and Edwards. Hillary is their dam to stop the flow of the great unwashed...

[Debi]

10. Clinton shot Kennedy? Why isn't this the BIG NEWS?

:wow:

[MonkeyFunk]

11. They?

The media shot Bobby Kennedy?

[Rabo Karabekian]

14. All Those Who Hate Progression

Well the forces of regression. I'm not sure what specific group, the freemasons (ha, ha); no just kidding ya.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

4. Himself... n/t

[asdjrocky]

7. I think it's both.

And I am tired of words like "fear" and "afraid." HRC is not my choice, but I would certainly support her if she got th nod. However, I would like to see her run as smart a campaign as Edwards has. How is he getting all these numbers without the help of MSM? He's a man who understands hard work.

[rinsd]

8. So is your lame ass attack an example of your fear?

[asdjrocky]

18. Name calling and insults....

It's always the same with you.

Good luck to your candidate.

[rinsd]

19. Do you post anything but response to me?

Or hit pieces on my candidate under the guise of discussion?

Ethel, is that you?

[asdjrocky]

20. Actually, I do.

There is more, if you would like to see it. I don't know who Ethel is, and honestly, i just like it when people play nice. Something I never see you do.

Have a nice day.

[rinsd]

22. So you post as an example your smear by association on Hillary?

:shrug:

"i just like it when people play nice. Something I never see you do."

You earn respect here. If you want nice, you are probably in the wrong forum.

GDP is a war zone.

[asdjrocky]

25. Enjoy your war....

I like peace. And I posted facts. Not attacks.

[rinsd]

27. It was a smear by association.

I stated facts too in that thread but I certainly was attacking Edwards.

Why can't you just admit it?

[asdjrocky]

28. I just laid the facts out and let them fall where they may.

Do I like Clinton? No. Have I stooped to calling her names? Have I stooped to calling anyone names? No. Name calling is what a RW would do.

[rinsd]

29. You're a saint.

Give it some time.

You will eventually admit to being a sinner.

"I just laid the facts out and let them fall where they may."

Yes, inflammatory facts that had little to do with the candidate.

Shit I even understand why you posted it because you got into a tiff with some Hillary supproters and myself and you wanted to hit back.

Do you think people will think badly of you if you admit it? :shrug:

[Debi]

9. !

:spray:

Don't think the corporate media won't go after Clinton, it's just Edwards turn in their evil spotlight this week.

[balantz]

12. Yep!

They are the same thing.

[OHdem10]

13. I do know if it is fear--could be--Populists give voice to the

vulnerable and this makes the Media and Both Parties uncomfortable.

Both parties fight for the same group of votes. The Better Educated
The super rich, the rich . They become uncomfortable to the point
of anger when someone reminds them that half the country is vulnerable
and attempts to give them voice.

[Clark2008]

15. No one.

[smoogatz]

24. But if they weren't terrified of Edwards, why would they be, uh,

attacking, um, Obama? No, wait...

[liberal N proud]

16. One in the same

17. His hairdresser.

[FrenchieCat]

21. He frightens most those who believe that most qualified and not

the best looking White Guy from the South should be President.

That you don't just become President because you want it badly for 8 years and camp out where the votes are, but because you earned it through your life time achievements, past and recent.


Ohhhh, and he frightens "Hedgefunds" and their tax havens! :scared:
