Some of you have taken great delight in media smears of Hillary & Bill.

Geez some of you even post RWer "analysis" of Bill & Hillary.

I can't say that I have much sympathy for you or your candidate.

15. I wish the Hillary and Obama camp would choose a champion,
meet up somewhere and beat the shit out of each other, winner take all. It would spare the rest of us this twaddling. Good grief.

11. I'm not so much an O. supporter, but it was so stupid I couldn't imagine why any O. fans
would let it bother them. :)

Frankly, I think when really stupid shit like that flies, Obama supporters are well advised to log off and let the Hillary supporters etc have their way- it highlights how idiotic they can be.

6. haha, it hardly hurts because there is so little substance to it
Clinton actually turned away some of the black community with his remarks.

21. Yeah, to compare the handshake "tempest" to strategically casting Obama
as the BLACK, BLACK candidate is hardly comparable.

I have no idea whether avoided shaking Hillary's hand or is it was just something that happens in a big crowd with a lot going on. If he did intentionally avoid her, I would not respect that, but at least it wouldn't weaken the party, just his own reputation. (Maybe he's just mad at the Clintons and ain't gonna take it anymore. ;) )

7. It is funny because..like other things...this is quite stupid but the MSM keeps drumming it up.
Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 01:36 PM by xultar
an honest slip, and boom a spray of shit the size of a busted hydrant is all over you.

I just like to see how different sets of supporters react when the tables are turned.

Again, an honest slip...and all of a sudden it is out of control. But I forget. Clinton's don't slip they calculate right. Only Obama can make an honest slip.


this snub/no snub thing is no biggie and actually quite silly but man let the MSM get a hold of it and you have exactly what the Clinton supporters were complaining about just about 2 weeks ago.

Front runner status sucks big sweaty donkey balls don't it?

16. That's totally fair
MSM has shown that they are willing to rip Hillary apart whenever possible. I don't delight in anything petty that makes Dems look bad but the shoe is definitely on other foot.

17. Yeah - I was going to tell everyone to stop with the topic. Until I saw the SC
concession lie brought up. Again. Then I realized the irony.

20. If they will be mad, they should be mad at Obama.
He shouldn't have acted so stuck up.

24. Perhaps you can show me where the Clinton campaign or any surrogate brought up the snub?
This seems to be a media creation.
