Hillary swipes at Edwards: "...it's something you don't have to do by yelling and screaming..."

Speaking about solving the problem of the influence special interests have in politics, Clinton delivered a veiled swipe at Edwards, without naming him.

"Instead of, like, generating a lot of heat and rolling your hands and jumping up and down, lets just sit down and figure out how we are going to beat them," Clinton said, "it's something you don't have to do by yelling and screaming. Save your energy, get the job done. Figure out how you are going to make it happen."

1. oh and ur candidate has treated edwards with the upmost respect lol

[Tellurian]

20. Hillary was probably talking about Gravel... not Edwards..

I blame the OP for posting a non sequitur and diving this conversation blindfolded as usual... :hi:

[burythehatchet]

2. Hillary - You are part of the problem, you are not a part of the solution.

[KingofNewOrleans]

3. Yelling and screaming?

Are you sure she's talking about Edwards?

[Yael]

10. That is why I found this so amusing.

Indeed. I have never seen the man act even remotely like that.

Keep digging Hillary. *snerk*

[annie1]

4. I hate watching 2 people i like duke it out. HATE. sucks.

and i'm not crazy about that comment. not nice.

[ChiciB1]

5. Oh, How I WISH More People Would Understand Certain Things....

I seem to remember people saying she was shrill herself. I'm not attacking her, but I'm sorry I just CAN'T vote for her. She & Bill have BOTH changed a lot!!

[merbex]

6. More advice to play nice

What has that accomplished that is as big an Social Security and Medicare and Civil Rights?

Please point one major piece of legislation that is historic that wasn't accomplished without a fight

[More Than A Feeling]

7. Yeah, elitists don't like it when the people get in their faces

about the real problems in this country. Makes them harder to ignore, which is the usual response.

[Yael]

8. Because smirking and cackling is SO much more effective

:rofl:

[MethuenProgressive]

9. Yelling, screaming - and cheerleading? She's talking about Obama.

Obviously.

[gaiilonfong]

11. Like Richarson's 6 Billion "What I would do" before every sentence

YUCK!

[MethuenProgressive]

13. No weasel words or chants from Bill, he'll tell you what his intentions are.

:shrug:

[jefferson_dem]

15. Go find a clue and come on back.

The narrative has been set - true or not - that Obama is too nice. Edwards' own campaign is hitting on this point.

Doink.

[Beaverhausen]

12. No Hillary- it's the voters who are yelling and screaming

We're pissed off that the dems haven't been able to accomplish much while in the majority.

[Catherine Vincent]

14. I've never seen any candidate act this way.

Is this blog correct?

[hayu_lol]

16. Actually you know, she made a point.

As to who it was directed at: the other candidates, her supporters, her opponents supporters, friends and enemies.

Could have been aimed anywhere. You really have to read the article, not just the quote.

Perception of Hillary may well be that she is a woman but who acts as a man would under some conditions. Some find that attribute unsettling.

She is much like Clark in that she speaks in complete sentences and complete answers.

[OHdem10]

17. Hilary could use a little passion herself--do not call your

own weakness to public attention.

[Evergreen Emerald]

18. Please. Anything Clinton does is attacked:

Showing emotion: shrill / too emotional / cackling

being calm: cold and calculating / bitch

Give it up. Anything she does will be twisted to ugly.

[Franc_Lee]

19. Hil, after phoney attacks on Obama pushed Edwards in the light it's his turn now to

be trounced on by the Hillary campers...
