Can a Sen. Clinton supporter debunk this?

[MrsT]

Someone is telling me Sen. Clinton said this:

"I think that I have a lifetime of experience that I will bring to the White House. Sen. John McCain has a lifetime of experience that he'd bring to the White House. And Sen. Obama has a speech he gave in 2002."

But I only find the quote on blogs, and not on news sources.

I really hope that she didn't link herself to McCain to criticize Obama (though I am fine with her criticizing Obama). Was she answering a question? Is there some context or is this a total fabrication?

[sueragingroz]

1. I saw it on CNN

She did say it for sure.

[Hepburn]

15. Ditto....

...I saw her say it, too.

Bad show, Hillary.

[Celebration]

25. Yup

I saw it too.

[msongs]

2. or, can you substantiate that she actually said that? nt

[anonymous171]

3. I'm not a clinton supporter, but I do have a link

http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/03/01/politics/fromtheroad/entry3896372.shtml

[MrsT]

20. Thanks for the link. That quote is different and better in my opinion. eom

[Abacus]

35. The original quote is correct, video:

[ecstatic]

4. I saw a live clip, and it was a DESPICABLE thing for that woman

to say. How f*cking dare her put McCain on a pedestal above Obama?!

[sueragingroz]

23. oh get over it

McCain has more experience than Obama.

what a shocker!

[me b zola]

37. Do you get that this is a Democratic message board

and the idea is to elect Democrats?

Richard Nixon has more political experience than John Kennedy! :woohoo:

:eyes:

[K Gardner]

49. Excuse me.. you're not even from here, are you? Is there so little to do in Canada that

you're going to come here and engage in Obama bashing? That's fairly pathetic.

[JackORoses]

5. god damn that woman! she cares only for herself.

[sueragingroz]

24. no... she cares about the party and wants the party to win

she knows that once Obama is vetted, he is toast.

[JackORoses]

32. That's why she is supporting McCain over Obama?

Obama has been vetted. There is nothing there, or by god that tenacious Hillary would have found it.

She is a spoiled brat. She is throwing a fit because she will not be getting a Pony this year.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

33. How noble of Hillary.

[K Gardner]

45. And who the hell are you to come onto a Democratic board and DEFEND that comment? Just curious.

[redqueen]

6. I heard about that remark.

Doesn't sound so good.

[BooScout]

7. I smell a wolf in sheep's wool n/t

[Exilednight]

8. It's part of her stump speech. Gutter politics.

[Lucinda]

9. She did. She was talking about why she is the better candidate to go up against McCain.

11. she's pulling out all the stops in this final push, aint she

watching the descent of Hillary's campaign tactics is worse than dental surgery (figuratively, hoho...)

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

12. I Actually Thought It Was Quite Effective.

In such a short statement, it really does carry quite an impact. It's a great sound byte.

[DURHAM D]

27. Agree - what's the problem? Its a true statement. eom

[TheWraith]

31. Well, at least it's official. She's now running as a Republican.

The war vote wasn't a mistake, Rove smear tactics are okay, McCain would make a good president, and we should keep open the option of bombing Iran.

Hell, she's giving McCrazy more respect than she is to Obama.

[saracat]

36. Well. McCain, who I will not vote for because of his positions does deserve

more respect than Obama. he is a war hero and does have a lot of experience. I may not like the guy or most of his views. He doesn't represent me but heck neither does Obama!

[TheWraith]

41. So McStrangelove is more worthy of respect than our presumptive nominee?

Try thinking about what you just said. Then try reexamining McCain's record over the last 8 years. Then realize how ridiculous you sound.

[saracat]

42. Barak is NOT our presumptive nominee. And he may NOT be.

I have already said I do not support McCain. I actually think he is an ahole but he is at the very least a war hero, and has fought for government funded elections. He has been a Senator for a long time and served on many prestigious committees. Barack has done practically nothig in comparison. He was an Illinois state senator.Big whoop. And a get out the vote activist.OOOO. Thats presidential. I don't like either of them. But to contrue that Mccain has 'experience" as "support' or an 'endorsement' is beyond silly.

[TheWraith]

44. Yes, he is. Even if she won every remaining state by 60%, she doesn't win the nomination.

There is NO WAY Hillary can win.

As for McCain, I'd have to say that years of being wrong on virtually every issue is a lot less noble than a Dem senator who's passed ethics reform, worked to secure nuclear weapons in the former Soviet Union, worked for healthcare reform, government transparency, ending the war, and on.

McCain may have been a good guy decades ago, but I'd say that cheerfully endorsing the deaths of thousands of Americans and a million plus Iraqis, and wanting the slaughter to go on in perpetuity, not to mention talking up a third war and all the other crap he's into, certainly doesn't make him more worthy of respect than our presumptive nominee for the presidency of the United States.

[saracat]

46. That is NOT true but believe as you wish.

[superkia]

50. No problem if you want McCain to win if your team cant.NT

[LiberalAndProud]

13. I don't know if she said it or not.

She will need to be compared to Senator McGoo at some stage in the process. Experience v. Experience.

[sniffa]

16. K&R

[thevoiceofreason]

17. And on CBS

[doublethink]

18. Weird ....... I just saw it on CNN .......

a moment ago ... a quick clip .... just after I read your post. 3:40 pm Cali time out here. Yea she said it. Peace.

[MadBadger]

19. I saw her say something very similar to that.

[babylonsister]

21. She did, here:

[doublethink]

22. Here's a thread with the video ..... just up .....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x100452

[goodgd_yall]

26. What was said before this?

It still doesn't answer the question. Not that I have an issue with it. But it would be good to know if she's answering a question and, if so, what was it?

[SKKY]

28. Just when you think it can't get worse...

...it usually does.

[Arkansas Granny]

29. Here's my take on the statement you are referring to, for what it's worth.

She said that McCain will bring up his lifetime of experience. She can counter his claim with her lifetime of experience, but all Obama can offer is a speech he made in 2002. I didn't read it that she was linking herself to McCain, but that she could counter his claim of experience and Obama couldn't.

YMMV

[kikiek]

30. Why should it be debunked? She is in a campaign. Facts should be told.

[BenDavid]

34. What can I say, when she's right she's right!

Just like George W Bush and Rotten Rudy where 9/11 is concerned Obama has a life of running on the War, much to his disgrace.

Wow! This will be all over the MSM within hours. Bet O’Reilly leads with it tonight. Not an accident at all. That was absolutely deliberate.

Big article in the NY Post today saying that Jews will bolt to McCain if Hillary loses tomorrow. Quotes a NY Jewish Dem State Assemblyman as saying if Obama’s the nominee the Dems can kiss the Jewish vote Goodbye.Ramifications for New York for sure. But think about Florida. Jews leave the Dems over Hillary loss, means Florida is now, and will be for a long, long time, solidly in the Republican column.

[anonymous171]

38. So you like the war?

What are you talking about? Or is this simply the ramifications of having a hole in your soul?

[mmonk]

40. You speak for all?

Why is he such a villian?

[Meshuga]

39. Here is the video:

48. About time that someone pointed this out.

It happens to be TRUE.

[bigbrother05]

51. It's hard work

I wish we could level the playing field

[BlackVelvet04]

52. LOL who do you think you are fooling? n/t

[robbedvoter]

53. Why the "lifetime democrat but..." routine? You are free to declare your true allegiance here

Unless of course, it's McCain :shrug:
