Sorry Hillbots, I was wrong.

[Joe the Revelator]

I thought this story was going to have legs until at least Tuesday, but after Obama effectivly put it to bed tonight, I don't think its even going to make it out of the weekend, aside from shows like Hannity and Rush. And if you have to lie down with those dogs to make your story stick, I think it says a lot.

Sorry guys, Teflon Obama wins another round. Maybe you'll find something better next time.

[goldcanyonaz]

1. I really don't think you're right on this one.

[KittyWampus]

20. what about Hillary's Prayeyr Cell & her membership in the Fellowship headed by Doug Coe

do you think that might make a splash?

[MonkeyFunk]

90. Why is the truth so alien to you guys?

She's by no means a member of "the fellowship".

She's a member of the Senate Prayer Group - a bipartisan group formerly chaired by John Edwards.

[niceypoo]

100. Why act desperate?

and run down the ol' 'Hillary done it too' road?

[Abacus]

24. I think it will be mostly a non issue outside of Hillaryland

McCain can't use it in the GE without attacking right-wing fundies who have said much worse. If he does that, they stay home and we win anyway.

[leftynyc]

40. McCain doesn't have to touch it

A 527 can do an issue ad, McCain can even denounce it (as the chimp did for the swiftboat ad) and the damage is done. Those out of context quotes sound horrible and are going to scare the Reagan Democrats. And Sen Obama doesn't win even if it comes to a contest on whose religious freak supporter/advisor is worse. If it comes to that, people are going to go for the religious freak who looks most like them.

[Exilednight]

101. Reagan Democrats? those are the very people who became neocons......

I do agree with 527s, but I think the RNC and McCain will put a leash on them when it comes to this. It's just as easy for the Dems to put together a 527 and make the same attacks.

This election will showcase 527's like never before.

[Nitrogenica]

2. Define "better" in the context of Rovian negative campaigning.

[AlCzervik]

3. can't wait for next Clinton problem, you know it's just around the corner.

[tekisui]

89. Yep.

They've traded a Power for a Ferraro in the sniper fire. Now, a "shocking video" has knocked off someone not even in the campaign. What "shocking video" or outrage will flow from the CLinton camp? I guess we'll see, soon enough.

It's getting old.

[Perry Logan]

92. Obamites are making stuff up about her even as we speak.

4. I honestly wish that were so

But - seriously - even if he has "put it to bed" do you think the GOP believe it is over?

[Joe the Revelator]

7. Who gives a flying fuck what the GOP thinks? Their candidate has his own problems.

[lligrd]

11. Exactly. 100 Year War,

doesn't understand the economy, backed Bush on war. LOL McCain is not a problem. Hell, I could beat him.

[Barack_America]

12. No doubt. I wish we could all get back to talking about McCain.

It's almost as if he's died. Wait...did he? He is up there, you know.

[babylonsister]

5. Hey!

The term 'teflon' and Obama doesn't compute for me. That applies to * and Cheney, seeing as they're still around.

Obama hasn't lied one damned bit, unlike them. I hope you can think of a better term.

[burythehatchet]

8. you are a truthteller

:)

[stillcool]

60. I like the boomerang man.

[theboss]

6. The good news is, I honestly don't think McCain will touch this

The weirdest part of this whole campaign is that I feel McCain is actually more honorable a politician than the Clintons. Obviously, the Limbaughs of the world will be a pain, but whatever.

[boston bean]

13. ha

[boston bean]

14. ha

[ElsewheresDaughter]

17. HAH!

[Kool Kitty]

72. McCain won't touch this if he has any brains.

When you look at the members of the clergy that have endorsed him, he doesn't have a leg to stand on. Hagee and Parsley scare me. And I don't find McCain honorable.

[TankLV]

79. wow - that says alot - about YOU obamabots!!!

you will stoop to NO LOW...

no low is low enought for you...

[dchill]

88. Nah - we're not even close...

by comparison.

[cali]

94. Compared to hilly and you hillbots

we're treading the high road.

[Balbus]

9. "put to bed" is relative...

Yeah, it's probably not going to hurt him in the Hillary race, but it'll be exploited to hell and back again in the run up to the GE.

[David Dunham]

10. This story has LONG legs. It will be around for months.

[Joe the Revelator]

15. Keep wishing and hoping brother, all this is, is another Hillaryland fable

No legs.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

18. your whistling past the cemetery

[Joe the Revelator]

25. Its a non-story,

You'd be right if Obama said these things,but he didn't and rational people understand that.

[babylonsister]

19. Well it's a damned good thing there's nothing that Clinton has to worry about

should she get the nod. :eyes:

[Balbus]

76. Why are we talking about Clinton?

I thought this was about Obama... Why bring up a non-factor?

[JVS]

21. If it makes any difference it will be in the primary.

The republican party is not going to open up the floor for present your opponents' loony preacher day. They have way too many of them, many of their backers are in conflict, and for McCain to have to denounce a series of fundamentalist preachers is going to put him even further at odds with bitter Huckabee supporters.

[easy_b94]

16. My man Obama.......keep doing what you are doing player

[oasis]

22. There will be an investigation into the lie Obama told about knowing

nothing about Wright's horrible language, but held him back from attending his presidential announcement ceremony a year ago.

Word is, Obama took Wright off to the side (as politicians will do) and told him everything will be okay later on.

Sounds alot like what was alledged in NAFTAgate. Wink, wink.

[laugle]

54. Obama said tonight on Hannity,

"he's preached his last sermon!" My husband and I laughed and thought, yeah....until you get to the WH!

[oasis]

69. More, "wink, wink, nod, nod" from Obama. How can this guy look at himself in the mirror?

:puke:

[creeksneakers2]

70. I'm not accusing Obama of lying

But the claim that he knew about none of this opens the controversy up to wingnuts who will try to use that mystery to keep up and build up more suspense. Obama should have left that part out and made an attempt at a final statement.

[Enrique]

23. Obama's response was very good

I hope you're right, I wouldn't want to see this ruin Obama's chances.

[cbayer]

31. Hello Enrique

I just wanted to say that I have a lot of respect for the way you post. That's all.

[jlake]

26. That's okay. It doesn't matter what you think or how you want to spin this.

It's not going away - and Obama's "putting it to bed" was done with LIES which will come out..... he needed a better excuse than that.
It was nice (not really) knowing you Obama!

[Joe the Revelator]

29. This campaign has sent you right over the deep end.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

66. With All Due Respect, It Isn't Any Of Us Looking Like We've Gone Off The Deep End Right Now.

Get some rest.

[uponit7771]

30. ...and after seeing Rod Parsley I don't think McCaint can use it in the GE

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

32. Let's Hope You're Right. But You're Being A Bit Recklessly Presumptive.

Personally, the reason I think you are, is only so that you could post some stupid ass OP in which you call everyone on her side Hillbots.

See, if you actually had a message to get across to show faith in your candidate and peace of mind that he handled it well, you would've posted a genuine OP without the flamebaiting bullshit. But you didn't. Know what that means? It means your message isn't genuine at all and that you had no intention of really trying to put forth that he did well. Your only intention was an empty headed childish one in which you just searched for an excuse to use the term hillbots and attack the other side just for sake of doing so. Pretty weak, and pretty stupid.

as another attempt to stop the best thing the democratic party has had since the 60's

[stillcool]

59. I forgot about that one....

:rofl:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

65. I Never Said Obama's Campaign Was Over. But This Story Requires Immediate Attention.

And your declaring it over shows you to be the epitome of a fool. This isn't over by a longshot. Get some rest. You're talking like someone who's deluded. Seriously.

[meow mix]

33. i know.. this was the most entertaining one yet. please dont let it end LOL

a lotta laughs reading DU-Pastorgate. ill remember this fondly for years to come.

[cbayer]

34. I hope you are right

Obama handled it very well and it really speaks to his political instincts. But it is probably not over, unfortunately.

While I have your attention, why the need for "Hillbots" and then taunting them to attack you again? It's really ok to promote your own candidate without slamming the opponents supporters. Especially since we are all essentially on the same team.

[Joe the Revelator]

38. We are no longer on the same Team. If anyone continues to support Hillary after the McCain ..

endorsement or the Ferraro bullshit, then I can not be on the same team as them.

[meow mix]

41. didnt you get the memo? were suppose to overlook her stabbing us in the back

and just forget all about it
:sarcasm:

[cbayer]

47. Alrighty then.

That's your prerogative. But I don't think you help your candidate by taking that position.

And I think the Ferraro bullshit is no different than the Wright bullshit. They are both bullshit.

And one of the reasons I am a democrat is because I consider this party more tolerant and inclusive than the other party.

But that's just my opinion.

[KAZ]

37. Damn, the guck you called out.

[Joe the Revelator]

39. Huh?

[Malikshah]

43. THis kind of post is what will make the Dems lose in November

This sort of child's game mentality.

What a crock of shit.

A major steaming festering crock of loser shit.

Barack Obama would be ashamed of you.

[Joe the Revelator]

45. I'm playing a child's game??

Go look in the Hillary's supporters forum.They're still trying to find an angle to use to make this stick to Obama. A child's game is trying to win this nomination based on stupid old style attack politics.

[Malikshah]

75. I have seen thread after thread of childishness from both candidates' minions

The fact that you play the "they did it too" game merely strengthens my earlier contention that the OP post was a festering cauldron of crap.

Barack Obama needs to distance himself from the likes of these "supporters"

[cooolandrew]

44. They do try don't they bless them. Such tender hearts.

[HughMoran]

46. What is a "Hillbot"

Is that some sort of inflammatory language that you use to instigate people who do not agree with you?

Does that not make you seem like a childish Obama supporter?

[Justice Is Comin]

48. Ha ha, you wish.

You obama "hopers and believers" better stop watching the shiny swinging object. Obama is dirty up to his eyebrows and the repukes will filet him like a trout. He's a phony and always has been.

It's just a matter of time...drip ...drip... drip...:nuke:

[Joe the Revelator]

49. Yes Hillary and McCain are delicate little flowers with no Skeletons

That the real joke.

[laugle]

50. Sorry, your

wrong on this one.....it's no good to hide your head in the sand.........

I do like that you admit Obama has teflon though, the trouble with that is it wears off..............

[Joe the Revelator]

52. The facts are proving me right. Unless you want to pretend that Hannity and Rush speak for the

country, this story has gone no where, and after Obama's response, I don't see it going anywhere. The same cast of characters with spout the same lines over and over, as they have been doing for the last six months, and that will be it.

[laugle]

63. Think about the

"undecideds," and the electability factor.........they are both key.

I'm not trying to convince you otherwise, buy try to put your bias aside, if you can, and realize other people will see it differently.......

[Joe the Revelator]

64. You can't be everything to everyone. McCain and Hillary also have their trouble with undecideds

Its politics.

[laugle]

67. That's the point, if dem

"undecideds" freak-out on Obama, and some polls have already showed this happened already, before this story, they will go with Hillary.

Hey, I'm a Hillary supporter, doesn't mean I hate Obama. I'm a realist, I don't vote based on personality, looks or speeches. I'm not going to sit here gloating, but geez, this is really bad and it's not going away.

Damage control is needed.......but I don't see how you defend the indefensable, but you can try......

[Swamp Rat]

51. You might, at least, wait until the issue has been put to rest before announcing that.

:D

[Joe the Revelator]

53. I did, it was put to rest tonight, so I made the post.

Rush and Hannity will still bitch and moan about it, but its not going much further than that.

[Swamp Rat]

55. Well, at the moment a lot of DUers seem to disagree.

:D

[Joe the Revelator]

57. There is a vocal minority of Hillary supporters who want to keep this goind

Look in their sub-forum. It was always a much bigger story on DU then in the real world.

[Swamp Rat]

62. That may be true, but it's their right, especially since you are egging them on.

:D

[laugle]

68. Hey Swamp.....I missed you.......enter at your own peril! LOL nt

[stillcool]

56. I'm sure it's good for at least...

one rinse and repeat. It might be a little tricky sneaking it in between Muslim smears, but the absurdity or lack of logic has not proven to be troublesome as yet. No I'm fairly certain that we can expect more from the choir regarding race. It's the only card left in the deck.

[Joe the Revelator]

58. Yes the same Rush, Clinton, Hannity types will keep trying to make this stick

as they have for the last six months. But the mainstream is going to let it go.

[Arkansas Granny]

61. Can we stop with the name calling? It's juvenile behavior and adds nothing to the discussion.

[Frank Booth]

71. Isn't this a bit rude of you? Shouldn't you let them down a little easier?

So many Hillary supporters have gotten so much joy from this story the past few days. And you're telling them the story's going to go away.

I bet you like telling 3 year olds that Santa's not real. Shame on you!

[writes3000]

73. The "Hillbot" name-calling is just plain immature and lame.

Don't you think that the Hillary supporters deeply want what they feel is best for this country? Don't you believe that ultimately, Obama would be better off with their support?

I understand that verbally taunting them may provide some personal petty payoff for you but do you really think it's helping anyone other than yourself?

And I deeply question whether the immature name-calling is even serving you.

[democrattotheend]

74. Stop antagonizing Clintons supporters. This is a right wing smear

that we as Democrats should all be standing together to fight. But how can we ask Clinton supporters to stand with us if we call them "Hillbots" and accuse them of being part of something that was started by either McCain's campaign or Sean Hannity, when Clinton's adviser declined to criticize Obama for it?

[AgadorSparticus]

77. yeah, I think this Wright non-issue is going to burn out pretty fast.

[TankLV]

78. must be nice living in DREAMLAND!

I wasn't much paying attention to ANY news this past week with my workload, and THIS caught my attention!

nice try at the spin - but IT'S NOT WORKING...

just like McGlurkin and Rezko - it will NOT go away any time soon...

[JorgeTheGood]

81. the next video released will show BO in attendance ...

game over ....

[dailykoff]

82. Never underestimate the persistence of the CIA.

CNN and the rest of the puppets take their marching orders from Langley so there's no way to predict when they'll let up.

[Joe the Revelator]

83. So far I was right on this. I've been watching the news all day (tornados and all) and I've seen

nothing to show that this is "blowing up".

[Tennessee Gal]

84. This will not go away. It will keep Obama out of the WH in the GE.

Wait and see.

[kid a]

85. in fact its over..i'm having a hard time even finding on front pages.. =)

[Nia Zuri]

86. The best part...Obama is Christian! Yay!

[sueragingroz]

87. You really do believe that he has magical powers don't you...

[jlake]

91. Bwahahahahahahaha This story has some serious legs.
