Obama Attacks Gore in Iowa

[DemKR]

From Taylor Marsh

"I don't want to go into the next election starting off with half the country already not wanting to vote for Democrats, we've done that in 2004, 2000." - Barack Obama

Not only does Mr. Obama attack Kerry, but he goes after Al Gore, someone with impeccable credentials who the entire Democratic party rightly respects. As for 2000, I think Mr. Obama needs an American history lesson. Seriously, is there no Democrat Mr. Obama won't attack for his own ends?

[Catch22Dem]

33. HAHAHAHAHA

I was trying to think of some witty crack, but I couldn't. Yours was classic though!

[Catch22Dem]

5. Taylor Marsh is such a dumbshit

At no point does he "attack" Al Gore. He stated exactly what happened in the last two elections. Unless my recollection is wrong, I seem to remember the last two presidential elections being pretty fucking close to 50/50 with our side getting fucked both times.

[Benhurst]

9. They were only close if you accept the rigged tallies.

Even so, Gore handily won the popular vote, as did Kerry according to the exit polls.

[BootinUp]

6. its interesting. Obama truly is trying to be the Bill C of 2008. nt

[ananda]

8. obama has really lost his way.. too bad

nt

[DemKR]

[gaiilonfong]

11. Taylor Marsh and Armando DLC Clinton Operatives

No more no less!

[MethuenProgressive]

22. link?

[gaiilonfong]

25. you are right on it! n/t

[Sulawesi]

12. Let me get this right, you do want half the country against you from the start?

Obama is running against Clinton not Gore and that statement makes perfect sense. You people take these arguments way too seriously...I mean, they are trying to tell you why they, and not the other guy, is worthy of support.

[DemKR]

13. oh so thats what he meant by 2000 n/t

[Evergreen Emerald]

47. how does it make sense? This argument of his makes no sense.

What is he suggesting? That unlike Gore or Kerry, the republicans like him? Where the hell is he getting that idea? The negative poll numbers are silly. They showed Kerry ahead of Bush--and we see where that got him.

His argument is a stupid right-wing attack argument.

[xchrom]

14. NObama -- just another reason not to vote for him. nt

[rateyes]

15. Did you manage to hang on to that

straw at which you are grasping?

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

17. You know, I've been highly critical of the anti-Hillary crowd...

...but shit like this isn't going to convince anyone. If this is what your campaign consists of, I want no part of it. I am grateful that by and large, Clinton supporters don't engage in this kind of bullshit.

[Windy]

28. Clinton campaign supporters are the most divisive and immature of the lot, lacking facts

and spinning endlessly.

at least here on DU.

Its sickens me truth be told.

[DemKR]

31. they are obama's words n/t

41. lol...

I'm sorry...But NOTHING compares to the Obamawannabe supporters....I have seen NOTHING but EMPTY attacks towards Hillary on DU and HUFF. I have read some very nasty statement about Hillary and how Hillary supporters are making some DUer's and HUffer's hate her even more...WELL because of your endless attacks and vitriol toward her and your blind lockstep(yeah lockstep...just like a righty...!)moronic slurs and picking at every nuance and then TURN around and defend Obama for the same or WORSE thing/issue. Unfortunately I have seen the light...and do not like what has been revealed on the Obama side.

If this is NEW and IMPROVED SHINY CHANGE...Keep it! Obama has been quietly running a dirty and hypocritical campaign for months ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

[malaise]

18. Out of order

Gore not only won the popular vote in 2000, but victory was stolen from him by the Supremes.

Instead of exposing the electoral fraud, he's turning on his own. Pathetic.

[cali]

19. you take the prize for lying bullshit attacks on Obama.

What a fucking lie. He did not go after Gore. And Taylor Marsh is a hard core Clintonista who's been attacking Gore for months. Spare us your fucking faux-outrage.

[matcom]

20. oh i doubt it is faux outrage cali

which makes it even MORE rediculous :D

[MethuenProgressive]

23. "What a fucking lie." The Obama quote is fake?

link?

[cali]

26. Where does he mention Al Gore?

Oh, that's right he doesn't. He talks about how closely divided the country was in the past two elections, and suggests that he could draw votes from disenchanted republican voters and indies. He may be right. He may not be. But it isn't an attack on anyone. And your suggestion that he's rovian is bullshit. I stood up for Clinton when that was thrown at her. It's disgusting to see someone who howls about the Clinton attacks use the same garbage they whine about.

[MethuenProgressive]

29. You do know who was on the ticket he mentions, don't you?

Obama dodges about by not naming names - so he gets a pass?
Well, I'm not naming names, but I think a certain first term Senator from Illinois shouldn't get a pass.

[Catch22Dem]

34. I'm trying to figure out how it was an attack on anybody (n/t)

[MethuenProgressive]

21. Barack Obama - 2008's Karl Rove Clone

Let hear more about how Hillary is responsible for Bhutto's death, Karl... er, Barack.
:puke:

[DemKR]

30. i know it. it makes me gag n/t

[Pastiche423]

45. Not nearly as much

as you make me gag.

[nolabels]

27. The punditocracy tells you to be afraid the punditocracy will be mad at you and you listen?

The convoluted story of how debate of hypothetical changes with the time of day or the direction of the wind.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

32. Tsk, tsk. Imagine that. Candidates attacking candidates in primary season.

Water is wet.

[TahitiNut]

51. It warms the cockles of my heart to witness the in-depth and principled dialectics.

:silly:

[DisgustipatedinCA]

35. Aren't you going to Iowa?

I thought you were supposed to be kicking in doors by now in Des Moines, talking to bewildered residents about the softer side of Hillary. Or was I mistaken?

Happy new year.

[BlueJac]

36. Reminds me of Hillary..........

The Queen of the back stabbing DLC!

[earth mom]

37. This is proof positive that Obama is toting water for the rethuglicans.

He is totally ignoring voter disenfranchisement and 2 stolen elections!

:wtf:

Thought I'd heard it all! Guess not!

:puke:

[book_worm]

38. Do you ever write anything positive about YOUR candidate?

because all you seem to do is attack Obama. Don't you have anything positive you could write about Hillary?

[ecstatic]

40. RIF (reading is fundamental) nt

[JI7]

42. i love John Kerry and Obama is the only one of the major candidates

who has shown respect to Kerry.

Obama is the only one that appeals to me. i would have supported Kerry if he ran and was disappointed when he didn't. but i'm glad i have a candidate i can get behind in Obama.

another thing, even IF Obama did mention Kerry's name i would STILL vote for Obama.

i wish people would stop lying about what Obama said here.

[JI7]

43. Hillary said John Kerry hates the troops

fucking phony outrage from anyone who supports her here.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

44. Your malicious lies and slander make me ill.

Is there no end to your diatribe?

[Robbins]

46. Hillary

Many forget she jumped to attack Kerry In 2006 over the botched joke.But,as I have seen Clinton
supporters have selected memories.

[WinkyDink]

48. Memo to Obama: Gore won the popular vote.

[madmom]

49. It's threads like this that make me glad to say, I'm not for either of them,Get a grip people!!

[lumpy]

50. OMG, Biden looks better and better
