What's Up With Clinton Supporters All Bringing Up Jeremiah Wright at the Same Time?

[Bullet1987]

What were you guys all watching FOX News or something? Or is this some futile attempt to "Get back" at Obama for Ferroros digusting comments?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

1. FOX dumped a bunch of stuff this evening, and it's all over the place.

That's the internet.

Fast moving.

[Bullet1987]

8. FOX huh?

Still trying to meddle with our nomination by stirring the racial pot? But FOX has been talking about Obama's church for months now...it's nothing new coming from them.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

19. They bought a video set of Wright's sermons and started distributing the "good parts" this evening

[zabet]

2. Did you pose this same question

about all the Ferrarro threads
and all the Spitzer threads or
are you just biased against threads
that paint Obama in a less than
glowing light?

[UALRBSofL]

6. You didn't hear?

Fox got the goods on Wright. Several videos of him.

[zabet]

22. I heard, it is posted here on DU.

I was asking poster of the OP if
they posed the same question about
all of the Ferraro threads or
all of the Spitzer threads or
if they were just biased against
posts that were not favorable to
Obama.

[jackson_dem]

17. The hypocrisy is amazing

[zabet]

25. You see it.

I do too.

[Bullet1987]

34. Jeremiah Wright is not part of Obama's campaign

So what hypocrisy are you talking about?

[jackson_dem]

37. Spitzer was? Even worse Wright is Obama's spirtual mentor and former pastor

Hillary didn't sit there and endorse Ferraro's words every Sunday like Obama did...

[Bullet1987]

71. I never said anything about Spitzer

and don't think Hillary should take any heat from that.

[rpannier]

38. I'm on your side of this divide

Unless he's endorsing something the guy said it's irrelevant

My priest says things I don't agree with. I'm not gonna spend my days 'distancing myself from what he says.'

44. Personal attacks are all you have.

:rofl:

That is to show my frustration
at the primaries....it does
say 'Damn primaries" beside it...
geeeeez :eyes:

[DogPoundPup]

51. Any reasonable person would get up from that

computer and get a life, but by your use of the silly image, you sit there consistently banging your head and for some reason feeling the need for the rest of us to have to look at it as if it makes you look like some kind of a deep thinker?

[zabet]

56. Another personal attack...

I have quite a full life but thanks
for your concern. I know it is truly
heartfelt on your part. :sarcasm:

As I stated above,
it shows my frustration at the primaries...
it says 'Damn Primaries' beside it. :eyes:

[DogPoundPup]

60. "As I stated above,it shows my frustration at the primaries"

So why do you hate primaries? Do you also hate America? WHY? WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA AND AMERICANS?

[zabet]

61. I do not hate them,

the infighting is frustrating,
the party division is frustrating.
The insanity of posts like yours
attacking me personally for a third
time is frustrating.

<ignore> *click* and buh-bye :hi:

[DogPoundPup]

63. As if....

that's a big loss. YEA for me! :lol:

[Scurrilous]

[CreekDog]

4. he only got to be a black pastor of a black church

because he is black. pass it on. :think:

[NanceGreggs]

16. That is just TOO brilliant!

:rofl: and :toast:

[goldcanyonaz]

28. So, he shouldn't be held responsible for his remarks?

[CreekDog]

30. you're no fun at all

:spank:

i thought we were choosing a president, not his pastor. :shrug:

[goldcanyonaz]

58. I don't think the candidates should be punished for surrogates gone wild.

[libnnc]

33. ....

:spray:

[davidinalameda]

5. they got their talking points from headquarters

:shrug:

[eissa]

7. Whoa!!

I just logged on and the forum is suddenly full of Obama's "racist pastor." Looks like some people all got their talking points at the same time. And yes, it is to get back for the Ferraro debacle -- cuz you know, that was Obama's fault for making her make those stupid remarks and then digging herself in deeper. :crazy:

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

15. Look, let's get it straight:

Some of those Clinton Supporters ain't exactly Clinton Supporters. Understand?

[AX10]

9. The videos are out there. They are real.

Just posting the facts.

[scheming daemons]

18. Yes... by why are you all posting it AT THE SAME TIME? I'll tell you why....

Concerted effort.

Paid staffers.


Hannity sockpuppets pretending to be "Concerned Clinton Supporters".



These videos have been out for months.... why is there a mass releasing of them tonight?


Don't even try to say it is "chance".

[AX10]

24. "Hannity Sockpuppets" is all you Obambots have left.

Anything bad about Obama is always from the right wing. Perhaps he has bad things in his closet.

[AX10]

27. "Hannity Sockpuppets" is all you Obambots have left.

Anything bad about Obama is always from the right wing. Perhaps he has bad things in his closet.

[VolcanoJen]

35. "Some People Say"

Gossip sucks.

[UALRBSofL]

29. We all got the talking points because

Fox just showed some of the sound bites tonight. And for the record, I watch all the stations, CNN, MSNBC, FOX, C-SPAN

[doc03]

10. I am not a Hillary supporter but Rev. Wright

is going to be a big problem in the GE. There will be Swift-boat type groups playing that one so get used to it now. i don't know who to support if anyone the Clintons gave us NAFTA and I just plain don't trust Obama and I sure as hell don't like McCain.

[VolcanoJen]

11. Can't defend Bizarro-Ferraro-Land.

Desperation. Fox News. Sean Hannity. Rush Limbaugh.

Shake over ice, serve.

[Metric System]

20. RW sources are only good when Obama is portrayed positively (example: articles by Andrew Sullivan

and Peggy Noonan have been posted and praised here by Obama supporters).

[VolcanoJen]

32. Oh.

OK. Thanks.

But five Jeremiah threads on the front page of GD: P and you're down with that? What's the purpose, to sink Keith Olbermann's stinging intervention comments? Because that's all I can come up with.

[Metric System]

36. I never started any of the threads but I assume there are a number of them because the story broke

tonight. Both sides are guilty of posting multiple threads when a story breaks.

[VolcanoJen]

40. "Everybody does it"

I haven't flipped to Fox News since the night of the 2000 Election, but I guess I'm an aberration.

Wow, when you guys said you were done with MSNBC, you meant it, huh?

[Metric System]

48. Speaking for myself, I've never watched MSNBC or FAUX. But to be fair to my fellow Hillary

supporters (or Hillbots), I've seen plenty of Obama supporters post stuff here that they saw on FAUX or heard on Rush Limbaugh's show (checking out the enemy is what they call it). Yes, I realize what I'm saying amounts to "Everybody does it," but when Hillary supporters are portrayed as getting their news from RW sources I think it's only fair to point out that Obama supporters have posted stuff from RW sources as well (from Sullivan to Noonan to Novak to Faux to Rush).

[VolcanoJen]

55. Thank you.

That is completely fair. And you're right.

[eShirl]

12. apparently they all watched Hannity or something

[joshcryer]

13. The YouTube video got posted today.

[MadBadger]

21. No, all this started after around the time Hannity and Colmes aired.

They didnt just happen upon it by accident. They all saw Hannity and then acted like good Fauxies and did exactly what Hannity would have wanted OR They are all Hannity sockpuppets.

[LowerManhattanite]

14. Fox Fax-blast to the faithful...

Rupe says jump, they say “Off which cliff, sir?”

[stillcool]

23. Didn't you get the email?

every time a bomb is lobbed that explodes all over the internet, I can't help but think about this guy...

Clintons' InfoUSA Ties Scrutinized
by Peter Overby
Last year, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton took the unusual step of renting out some of her lists. The transaction once again highlights the Clintons' connections to a businessman who now faces questions from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Reports from Clinton's campaign show that on Dec. 3, it collected payment for renting out three mailing lists, the sale of which netted them $8,225.

It was an unusual transaction, according to Roger Craver, a liberal guru of the political direct-mail industry.
------------------------------------------
According to one direct-mail professional, $800,000 would have seemed like a more plausible price for a quality list...

Vin Gupta has a long history of giving and raising campaign money for the Clintons, and gave $1 million for the 2000 Millennium Celebration, a New Year's Party thrown by the Clintons.
-----------------
Gupta spent $900,000 of corporate money flying the Clintons to various destinations. The Clinton campaign said in May that Info U.S.A. had been reimbursed to comply with federal campaigning and ethics rules.

After the Clintons left the White House, Gupta hired Bill Clinton as a consultant. It's one of two continuing business relationships he has had since leaving office, and it has been worth $3.3 million, in addition to the options on 100,000 shares of stock.
-------------------
The corporate spending on behalf of the Clintons helped fuel a shareholder lawsuit against Gupta and 10 corporate directors.

There are plenty of other allegations in the suit about homes, cars, and a yacht for Gupta. A Delaware chancery court judge dismissed some of the allegations involving the Clintons. But the case is still proceeding. It has led to an informal inquiry by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is also asking if Gupta misspent corporate funds.

26. It's 1:08 am, and I'm counting five Jeremiah Threads.

Am I missing any?

Did I log onto the wrong site, or something? Am I hallucinating? Why didn't I get the astroturf email blast?

I FEEL SO LEFT OUT

and victimized.

}(

[FrenchieCat]

31. Some were thought to be Progressives are regressing big time......

and I don't think we will get them back.

[QC]

39. What was up with the Obamatologists starting 800 simultaneous Ferraro threads? n/t

[VolcanoJen]

41. Well, at least "Obamatologists" is an upgrade from "Obamabots" or whatever.

Thanks for that.

The Ferraro story is a very current event. The Jeremiah Threads are retread, are they not? How recent were his most "offensive" comments? I could've sworn we'd covered this territory weeks ago. Fox is pretty big for digging up past dirt and stoking the coals, though, and apparently that's spread into DU.

Smells like a Ferraro defense strategy to me. I think you guys should run with it. Seriously.

[QC]

43. You guys?

Sorry, but I don't support either candidate. I think they are both timid corporate centrists and pretty much indistinguishable from one another--six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Funny how so many of you seem to think that everyone who doesn't think Barack Obama shits pink ice cream must necessarily be on Hillary's payroll. You're either with us or against us--wonder where I've heard that one before?

[VolcanoJen]

45. Must be a comfy position to be in.

Judge-Arbitrator.

Sorry about the "you guys" comment, your honor.

[QC]

47. But clearly not as much fun as flitting around the forum making catty remarks to all and sundry.

.

[VolcanoJen]

52. Yes. I've made so many catty, sundry remarks.

The one above was not among them, however.

[high density]

68. Go vote for Nader already and leave us in peace.

Kthx.

[QC]

70. Nope, not voting fror Nader.

I'll vote for the nominee, just like I did when we put up the likes of Mondale and Dukakis.

It really is amazing, though, so see how so many people think that anyone who is not giving Obama tonguebaths must not be a real Democrat. It's that kind of groupthink that brought about the "cult meme."

[high density]

72. You seem to be the one with the chip on the shoulder

Most of us have coalesced to Obama or Clinton. Then you come in here and tell us they're both corporate centrists as if we're all selling ourselves out for supporting either of them. Has it occurred to you that some of us are down to our fourth or fifth choices in this race? Don't complain to us about it. I think most of us have been there, done that.

[QC]

73. I get tired of having to take a public loyalty oath fifteen times a day here.

I suppose that could put a chip on anyone's shoulder. Look at you--assuming that anyone who is not up your candidate's ass must be a Naderite. I have always voted for the Democrat and I have been doing it for more than twenty years. If I could bring myself to vote for such doomed, absurd candidates as Mondale and Dukakis, I can certainly manage it again.

[ExtraGriz]

46. i saw that on the news

oh man, he didnt really say all that shit did he? thats pretty nasty coming from a pastor...what kind of church is it anyway?

[QC]

49. You mean your pastor doesn't preach about blowjobs on Christmas?

How very strange!

[TheDonkey]

50. Sock puppets gone wild.

[theredpen]

53. Not just Faux News, but the WSJ Op-Ed page

The whole right wing noise machine is a-buzz with Rev. Wright this evening. Naturally the alleged Democrats who oppose Obama are parroting it here, 'cause if you can't parrot right wing propaganda on DU, then where can you parrot it?

[DearAbby]

54. Clinton Hacks have to rely on HANNITY

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

DU HAS BEEN HANNITIZED

[Frank Booth]

57. That's what I was wondering too.

You've got to hand it to the Hillary supporters. They really do know how to stay on message.

Can it really be that members of Hillary's campaign are actually posting on these message boards? I guess when you consider that the campaign spent $95,000 on Hy-Vee party platters and thousands on snow shovels, it's really not that crazy.

Anyway, I was wondering what the next move will be after this Jeremiah Wright stuff dies down. If anyone from Hillary's campaign can let me know, please do so. Thanks.

[goletian]

59. didnt they already use that card? didnt it already... not stick?

this is a waste of time. if obama was a republican, it might be important, but obama is a democrat - a secular politician who knows the place of religion, behind the wall of eternal separation. obamas no religious zealot. this church business is a non issue.

[chascarrillo]

62. Ferraro giving multiple interviews to FOX, Bill Clinton on Limbaugh's show...

... I'm sure these are all strange coincidences. Nothing to see here, please move along.

[Window]

64. Desperation and grabbing at straws. Period.

[workinclasszero]

65. Rush Limbaugh commands the Hillbots to attack

Their Fox "news" addled brains can't resist.

[cooolandrew]

66. It's just Ktchen sink and garbage time. Just use this handy debunking link...

His new pastor...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RLX_dmYKQk

[Scurrilous]

67. Kick

:kick:

[IsItJustMe]

69. Faux news talking points. I think the Clinton people are now getting their news from Faux now.

Their true colors are showing.

[madrchsod]

74. well geraldine is a paid fox contributor

who was on fox last night....i guess hillary and rupie did cut a deal at his meet and greet party
