Holy shit, Hillary is hitting a grand slam.

[speedoo]

This is the best speech she's ever given, IMO.

Just fucking wow.

[JeffR]

1. She's firing on all cylinders.

Wow.

[AirmensMom]

2. She's nailing it!

Going right down the line. :applause:

[LibraLiz1973]

3. She is hitting this out of the park.

Of course, the MSM wont cover it- which is a sin, because she is kicking ass and taking names.

[Phoonzang]

4. Yeah this is the most strident I've seen her in support of Obama.

Tearing McCain a new one.

[JitterbugPerfume]

5. she is !

[elkston]

6. She is doing great. This election has come full circle!!! (eom)

[Lancer]

7. Bill has always said she's the smartest person he's ever met.

She's meaning every word of this today. Great speech!

[chimpymustgo]

8. She's beyond terrific. The scene is actually surreal.

[Left Is Write]

9. I'm loving it. I'm so glad she brought up social security -

"What if your social security had been in the stock market these past three weeks?"

"Sending John McCain in to clean up this mess is a little like sending the bull to clean up the china closet."

[Erin Elizabeth]

10. Shit! Where? What channel?

Damn husband and his video games.

[elkston]

12. On C-SPAN

[JeffR]

22. msnbc has it. nt

[remember2000forever]

11. She's On Fire!

[msblueinredstate]

13. In love Hillary

I would love to see President Obama put her on SC

[Beacool]

66. No, it would take her out of the running.

I would love to see her as president in the future.

[gateley]

14. Absolutely outstanding! nt

[NYC_SKP]

15. I like it when her eyes open wide and her voice gets serious...

Like when she said "not fundamental, Ornamental" of the middle class.

She's angry and she means it, and she's sincere and I love it!

[speedoo]

16. It looks like this is her stump speech for Obama/Biden.

It's just brilliant and delivered perfectly.

[remember2000forever]

America will once again rise from the ashes of the Bushes. Go Hillary!

[occe]

17. Nice to hear nt

[Cha]

18. "America will once again rise from the Ashes

of the bushes".

[PM7nj]

19. "America will once again rise from the ashes of the Bushes!" HA!!!!

:rofl:

[speedoo]

21. "Rise again from the ashes of the Bushes!" Holy shit!! nt

[Phx_Dem]

23. She's kicking ass and taking names! n/t

[Inspired]

24. Hillary! I'm sorry I ever doubted her.

[chicagoexpat]

26. She should, her & Bill have a lot ot make up for

They screwed progressive big time, & almost destroyed the Democratic party

http://loomisnews.wordpress.com/2008/06/06/the-clinton-party-becomes-the-democratic-party/

[Captain Hilts]

55. Conservative Democrats in Congress - Obama advisers Nunn and Cooper screwed them. nt

[chicagoexpat]

61. right, john, it's all Obama's fault... the Clintons are blameless, they just reflect the WHITE Dems

who are the REAL Democratic party

[Beacool]

67. Why don't you go and play in traffic?

Hillary would have been a great president. I just hope that she tries again at a future date.

[chicagoexpat]

69. When u don't stand for something, u fall for anything

& the Gucci Democrats under Clinton are a case in point

The Cult of the Ascension of the Virgin Hillary lives on!

I think the other inmates are here: http://www.hillaryclintonforum.net/discussion/showthread.php?t=35605

[Marrah_G]

62. Wow !

Off you go to ignore land with the rest of the zealots.

I hope you choke on all that Clinton hate.

[chicagoexpat]

70. Is that u, Lanny? Or is it the Baronness? Mebbe Geraldine dropped by from FOX, who knows

[Scout]

72. oh for god's sake

:eyes:

right, the Clintons almost destroyed the party....

:rofl:

[lumberjack_jeff]

73. Hillaryhate is like herpes. It's incurable and erupts at the most inappropriate times. n/t

[chicagoexpat]

82. It erupts as mindless Clintonistas pump Hillary&Bill for doing what

every losing candidate is supposed to do for their party

They still haven't made up for the damage they did

[Beacool]

84. What damage?

Running against an opponent? Oh yeah, she was supposed to bow out and leave the field open to Obama......because???

[chicagoexpat]

92. Rachel Maddow: "the Clinton post-rational world view" lives... & not just in McCainiacs

[BzaDem]

98. Do you realize

that for every person who replies and exposes your anti-Hillary posts for the garbage that they are, there are another 100 people who read your post and just put you on ignore? Do you enjoy being the toddler?

[chicagoexpat]

113. Feel free to do so

Those who utterly refuse to face facts aren't going to benefit from the info posts I put up anyway, I'd just as soon only help out truly progressive Democrats.

[LanternWaste]

90. And I imagine to those who hold to rigid, dogmatic stances...

"They still haven't made up for the damage they did".

And I imagine to those who hold to rigid, dogmatic stances worthy of Jim Jones, the Clinton's never will.

Party Unity My Ass seems to be alive and well. Yet it seems to be coming from the most obtuse angles these days... :shrug:


But! If it makes you feel better, please feel free to call me a Clintonista. Despite the fact that I'm proudly voting for the good Senator from Illinois next month, I imagine you can salvage a bit of self-validation in doing so.

[Lilith Velkor]

111. Bwahahahahahahaha!

:thumbsup:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

89. get over it.

[StevieM]

104. They have nothing to "make up for." That point of view was rejected by the Party, as her candidacy

was acknowledged as a cherished part of Democratic Party history. Same for Bill's presidency.

Steve

[wyldwolf]

114. another day, more bullshit

[cboy4]

120. Oh brother

:puke:

[JoFerret]

122. And you like Obama?

(Just hush child and get real)
Like Obama - Hillary and Bill have to try and win elections. Purists don't make for majorities - important and useful though they are.

[LordJFT]

27. she just said "my friends" *cringe* oh well i'll forgive her

[blue_onyx]

37. I think that's a common saying in politics

McCain just uses it so much that we've started to associate it mainly with him.

[Captain Hilts]

56. FDR said it too.

[TornadoTN]

64. She said it once - not as a qualifier to even frickin' statement that is made like McSoiledDiaper

Once or twice I can live with, but McCain uses it before and after each and every sentence.

[livetohike]

28. Thank you Hillary!

:toast:

[jesus_of_suburbia]

29. I love her. She will be a great asset to President Obama in the Senate.

[chimpymustgo]

31. She deserves - she has EARNED - a higher role than Senator. Senate President. Supreme Court.

[StreetKnowledge]

103. I agree

She's not really qualified for the Surpreme Court, but President of the Senate would work nicely, I think. Or perhaps a major position in Barack's cabinet.

[polmaven]

116. Ummm

I believe the Vice President is "President" of the Senate.

[NatBurner]

30. alls I can say is: wow

she's murdering this speech

[occe]

32. Go Hil!

[crossroads]

33. Stellar speech! Thanks! nt

[populistdriven]

34. It is wonderful to see her working so hard for Barack

Thanks Hillary, all is forgiven :)

[StevieM]

105. There is nothing to forgive and nobody apologized (eom)

[patricia92243]

35. Compare her to Palen - good grief, are we lucky or what

[speedoo]

38. That's a ridiculous comparison.

There is no comparison between a woman of real substance and a fraud.

[eleny]

36. She sure did - She knows how to go to work and to inspire

[nomaco-10]

39. She was Fantastic. On Fire. Best speech I've heard her give in ages. n/t

[LaPera]

40. How many republicans or undecided watch C-SPAN on Sunday afternoon, 'bout six?

Only political junkies & DUers watch....Unfortunately, I imagine very few will turn off their NFL games to watch Hillary.

[DainBramaged]

42. We watch because we LOVE our politicians as PEOPLE

[LaPera]

47. Too bad most people don't feel that way.....

If 60% of American show up to vote for a presidential election it's a record...it'll never happen....more like 52% on a good election - perhaps 56% or so give or take this year, that means a little less than HALF of the American people don't & won't vote....

I have never miss voting in ANY elections since I've been eligible, certainly I never voted for a slimy ass republican, ever!

However, Americans don't want being informed to get in their way of having a good time and doing other things....which means only a handful of people saw Hillary's speech....what Hillary (and the Dems) have to hope for is that the networks might pick out a snippet here & there to air...the fucking networks I wouldn't count on it!

[DainBramaged]

50. I'd like to see them poll people to see if they will vote

and I'm hoping the Freeptards sty home in droves.

[Poseidan]

58. more would vote if it wasn't such a pain in the ass

Like, if I could vote right here, through the internet, i'd do so gladly.

[Dem_4_Life]

41. She was really on fire and kicking ass!

:applause:

[rcrush]

43. Youtube?

Link plz!

[DainBramaged]

46. here live

http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-msnbc.html

[Tatiana]

44. Absolutely the best speech she's ever given.

She truly connected with the audience and totally brought home the reality of our current situation and what we all need to do about that.

I cried. She is truly a great woman and a great leader.

[nomaco-10]

45. She not only hit it out of the park, it went down...

the street, around the corner and may have landed in Ohio.

Great job. She really stepped up to the plate. Thank you Senator Clinton.

[speedoo]

49. Yes, if she keeps giving that speech in the battlegound states...

this election is over.

[ronnykmarshall]

48. Grand slam!!!

[mzmolly]

51. Damnit!

I missed it.

[DainBramaged]

52. HERE LIVE Joe is speaking

http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-msnbc.html

[mzmolly]

53. Thanks very much.

I recently tuned into MSNBC to catch the tail end of Joe's speech. :hi:

[mzmolly]

54. I always suspected that Hillary would be Obama's best asset.

Unfortunately, I missed the speech. :(

I hope it's up on Youtube soon.

[JimWis]

57. She's outstanding. Well done.

[KeepHopeAlive]

59. Excellent

That was simply amazing. I'm inspired by the whole thing!

[Joanne98]

60. She kicked ass!

[Marrah_G]

63. Thank you Hillary !

GO HILL!!!

[Beacool]

74. Thanks for posting.

I rather watch it on Youtube, still too many jerks in Huff spewing the usual hatred, same as in KOS. I avoid both blogs.

[Maven]

93. I finally got a chance to watch it in full.

I'm choked up and so proud of Hillary.

Go Hillary, and GOBAMA.

[Beacool]

106. I haven't watched it yet.

Sometimes it's too painful to watch her and see what the party threw away.

[Beacool]

68. God, it makes me want to weep!!!!!!

What an awesome president the party let slip through their hands. We could have had 16 years of two great presidents. Both equally historical. Alas......

:cry:

[Beausoir]

75. I agree.

[Beacool]

76. I wanted Clinton/Obama now and Obama/? in 8 years.

I felt that she was better prepared and ready to lead at this point in time. IMO, she had the better economic and healthcare plans. I still think so, but one can't always get in life what one wishes.

[Beausoir]

77. You can't always get what you want.

She is enormously talented, bright and experienced.

Here's to hoping Obama is willing to realize that.

[Beacool]

79. Here's to hoping that she runs again

and that this time the party doesn't kneecap her again. Ditto for the MSM and the left of the party.

[SIMPLYB1980]

87. But if you try sometimes you might find You get what you need!

:toast:

[LisaM]

88. I know. It's gratifying and sad at the same time.

Except for the few, most people see now what some of us saw all along.

I think Hillary will find some capacity to move this country forward, no matter what position she's in.

[Beacool]

99. I'll never forget how the party treated her.

But I know that Hillary will have a bright future.

[Captain Hilts]

108. I won't forget the way the media treated her.

Like Tracy Lord in the Philadelphia Story, people always seem to want her 'humbled' and like her better that way. Fuck that shit.

[Beacool]

109. Yeah, the media made a concerted effort to denigrate her

at every turn. I'll never forget the viciousness of their sexist attacks after the IA caucus and before the NH primary. They were brutal and on a personal basis, not on policy issues. They were so bad that several Republican women I know were all wishing me luck and hoping that she won in NH just to give a finger to the media.

The MSM were and still are a disgrace, particularly MSNBC. I stopped watching that sorry excuse of a news network months ago and I don't miss it one bit. They have bad ratings and they deserve it.

[Captain Hilts]

110. It's okay to ridicule women. I, too, gave up MSNBC. nt

[Beacool]

112. Misogynist attitudes are so ingrained in our society

that most people didn't even flinch when her voice was called "shrill", her laughter a "cackle" or the myriad other insults that were thrown her way.

Race definitely trumped gender during the primaries. Any little whiff of racism was loudly denounced, but no one cared about the sexist remarks. I still remember Dean (who had been very vocal about the race issue) stating, after receiving hundreds of complaints, that he had never realized that the sexism had been so prevalent because he "didn't watch cable TV". To which my answer is: BULLSHIT!!!

The MSM and certain people in the leadership of the party had decided that Obama should be the nominee and they would be damned if they were going to allow Hillary to get in their way.

[chicagoexpat]

118. .

[chicagoexpat]

115. yeah, it was the media & the party who forced her to say all those things she was scoured for

and it was the media & the party who forced her to line up w/ right wing maggots and lend credence to the Republican attacks on Obama

they kept quoting her "sniper" story & her open appeals to "white backlash" -- how could they quote her? Why didn't they kist get on the bandwagon of the inevitable nominee, the inevitable president?


http://loomisnews.wordpress.com/2008/05/27/hillary-i-meant-what-i-said/

[Celeborn Skywalker]

100. She can still run again.

If in '08 0r more likely in '16. She will be 68 and still ready to be president.

[Beacool]

107. I hope that she does run again.

Though she might be soured on the whole thing after the way she was treated this time around.

[Phredicles]

71. She was pure class at the convention and has been since;

I wasn't happy with a lot of what went down before, but she's certainly winning me back over now. She's earning a prominent spot in the new government.

[Imagevision]

78. And Hillary & Bill are going to Ohio next and back to Florida - excellant!

[elkston]

80. I love the way she says "People are afraid to open their 401Ks, aren't they..."

with that dry look of acknowledgment. It connects because its the truth.

[MarjorieG]

81. Both Obama and Hilary improved over the campaign and are ready to lead.

Obama has a cooler kind of smarts and presentation. I think we're in for an amazing ride of change.

[I LUV DEM]

83. makes one wonder what could of been

oh well

[OmahaBlueDog]

85. 2016

Don't rule it out.

[Beacool]

86. From your lips to God's ears.

:D

[Bread and Circus]

91. I liked the one from today...was it similar to yesterday's? And yeah, today was a grand slam.

[KsStorm]

94. WHere? When?

I missed it....anyone know where to find it?

[JoFerret]

95. The best president we will never have

.

[LiberalHeart]

96. Never say never.

[AllentownJake]

97. 2016

She'll be 68 but who knows. She'll be doing good work in the Senate for the next 8 years.

However I disagree...I think that person was Al Gore.

[Beausoir]

102. Truth.

[PBVIII]

101. I like Hilllary

I like Hilllary, I just liked Obama more. Hopefully she will get majority leader or a future presidential nomination in 2016.

[chicagoexpat]

117. So has Hillary actually conceded the nomination yet?

She never congratulated Obama on any of his primary wins

[Lilith Velkor]

119. Oh look, your ride is here

Obama won the primary. Try to cope.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

121. I think she might have, I just wish women would learn their place. They shouldn't run for President

IMHO.
