Am I the only one who thinks Hillary speaking or not speaking

[CatWoman]

at the Dem Convention is way overblown?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. no..you are not the only one

it's hype...we have plenty of great speakers...we had them before the Clinton's arrived and we will have them after.

[Qutzupalotl]

2. No.

Apparently, only one person at DU thinks it isn't. ;)

[ibegurpard]

3. Obviously not

check out the poll in GDC2004

[wryter2000]

4. It was intentionally overblown here a few minutes ago

Unless Hillary seems upset, I'm not going to worry about it.

[gratuitous]

5. Only by one person

I haven't seen a peep about it on the popular media, and certainly nothing from Hillary herself.

[newsguyatl]

6. no, i'm with you

this is something ONLY the rightwingers would make a big deal out of...

see, because her not being there in a big role, kinda ruins their lie that she'll really become the nominee.

[Padraig18]

7. No, you are not the only one.

*raises hand*

[lovedems]

8. No. Last I saw it was Tucker Carlson who was throwing a temper tantrum

it is the republicans who seem to be egging this notion on.

Edited to add: He is also outraged that Dukakis isn't speaking! What a tard.

[Booster]

28. He's also totally outraged that Kerry didn't

pick a woman or black person to run with him. Guess he didn't find it odd that Cheney couldn't find a Republican woman or black person to run with George so he had to pick himself. Tucker is slime.

[blm]

9. Add me if you're making list. WAY overblown

and intentionally so. The Repub operatives are busy as bees pretending to be outraged lefties.

Hillary will probably speak at some point. She doesn't have to be a featured speaker at every event. Her ego is healthy enough to handle whatever slot she gets.

[olddem43]

10. The only ones blowing it are the repukes -

They think it is some kind of advantage to them if she does. Any controversy they can generate to take the focus off the issues and the Dem Candidates is their goal.

[noiretextatique]

11. no...

it doesn't concern me either.

[WolverineDG]

12. No

it just another indicatio of the almost psychopathic obsession the RWs have with the Clintons....sheesh....

[cmd]

13. I'm with you, Cat Woman

I don't really care.

[VolcanoJen]

14. Hillary, Schmillary.

I love the Senator, but I couldn't care less if she speaks at the convention.

This is just overblown garbage hype by a lazy media still in denial that she wasn't chosen as Kerry's veep nominee.

Nobody gives a crap. Nobody.

[ikojo]

15. No, you are not alone

I tire of this belief that if one supports the Dems it means one also worships at the feet of Hillary Clinton. She's a very moderate Democrat in my opinion. I could care less about hearing her speak. I'd rather hear DENNIS KUCINICH speak than hear Hillary.

[Mortos]

16. Rush Limbaugh

went on and on today about how this is part of a Clinton conspiracy to undermine Kerry's election so Hillary can run in 2008. Isn't he supposed to be off the mind altering substances?

[Nlighten1]

17. It is way overblown..

It would be nice to have her speak but if not what is the big deal?

[hlthe2b]

18. I agree....

If she really wanted to, I'm quite sure she would.

[Elidor]

19. It's a manufactured controversy

What would the right do without Hillary?

[SW FL Dem]

20. No you're not! Check out the profile and

webpage of the person who starts all these threads. The best thing is to ignore him until he goes away.

[mike_c]

21. I don't give a rat's buttocks....

eom

[stevedeshazer]

22. BFD

Means nothing.

The only reason it's even being mentioned is because the Republican media extremists don't have anything else to talk about.

[Jade Fox]

23. Wingnuts believe their own crap and think we are as obsessed with Hils

as they are.

Get over it freepers. Hillary not running for Prez. She's not going to be
Veep, and she's not speaking at the Convention. Oh, and she is not
actually The Secret Evil Mastermind of the Universe.

I know you're disappointed. :cry:

[PopSixSquish]

30. She Really isn't "The Secret Evil Mastermind of the Universe"?

who knew? <walks away mumbling to self>
:crazy:

[redstateblues]

38. WingNut Jocks Bring Up Hillary When Their Ratings

start to sag. Dick Morris keeps his writing gig with his goofy "Hillary" calls all the shots theories

[Karenina]

24. Nope.

[bossfish]

25. No...

The RW loves to flog HRC.

If the convention was in NY? Maybe.

But, in the big picture she's just the junior Senator from NY.

[frank frankly]

26. you are not alone

it doesn't matter to me in the least...

[KC21304]

27. No, I'm with you Cat.

Just another thing to get our mind off this turd from Texas.

[nostamj]

29. WAY overblown

like Hil in many ways BUT, she tends to be shrill in many of the speeches I've heard.

repubs are more on this "OUTRAGE" story because they want another chance to HATE her...

[AlCzervik]

31. It's a non-issue for us and one more

way for asshole republicans to make hay out of something with her name on it that they will use to raise more money.

[Justice]

32. No the Room is Overcrowded with those of us who agree with you.

[Pepperbelly]

33. it's interesting if you really think about it ...

After all, when John Kerry is successful, if he is like most Presidents, he will beging looking to a second term. It is natural. It is also natural to exert a little party discipline on possible 08 rivals.

Could this be some inside, backroom sparring?

[DemBones DemBones]

34. No, it's the rightwingnuts who are making a fuss

about it.

BTW, is she not speaking at all or just not speaking during prime time?

[DinahMoeHum]

35. It's not an issue with me. The Dems have so much talent

to work with and there's only so much prime time to spread around.

:kick:

[Mz Pip]

36. When I heard about

"outrage" I thought it was the RW who were pissed she wasn't speaking and they wouldn't be able to make fun of her. I thought it was a good move since if she spoke all anyone would be talking about would be AHillary's political future and not Kerry 2004.

Then I hear it's a Dem that's pissed and turning into some womens' issue.

Geez, can't we all get along just until November? :crazy:

MzPip
:dem:

[Generator]

37. Yeah shoot me-I watched some Tweety

GOD I really now despise that guy, anyhoo, he seems to be pushing it, along with O'Lielly,(yes I flip for fun) that PROVES there is a big split in the party and that Hillary really is peeved at Kerry for getting the nomination.

Poppycock. It's just the only negative drivel they can come with. Because there isn't much else, except NADER and he is a real negative drivel.

As Bill Richardson pointed out on Hardlies, Bill Clinton is speaking AND Hillary is going to be with the female group on Monday.

As your "Now that's a letter" post pointed out-there is so much real negative and deceptive things going on by BushCo, but this is all they have to talk about! Wouldn't want any real news to slip out.

As for the outrage around here, I don't know. It's not a Clinton convention this time. It's not Gore. It's Kerry.
