JOHN EDWARDS SAYS: Latest Obama attacks "ridiculous....stoking the fire"
Edited on Fri Dec-28-07 07:54 PM by DemKR
According to ABC News, Democratic Presidential Candidate John Edwards has condemned Barack Obama's latest political attack.


"It's ridiculous," Edwards said. "It's a ridiculous stretch. I think in times of international crisis -- which this clearly is -- what America needs to be doing and serious presidential candidates need to be doing is providing an atmosphere of strength and calm. We need to be a calming influence and not stoking the fire and certainly not be talking about the politics of this."


Here's a kick for John Edwards...from a Hillary supporter =)

7. I am sorry that you can't handle disagreement
but you'd better get used to it. Obama is shooting himself in the foot.

15. Maybe you do like Edwards...
but obviously, you also loathe Obama. And since the last several threads you've started have been praising Hillary or ragging on Obama... its pretty easy to see a pattern. No mind-reading required.

10. Still trying to divide and conquer, Hillaryworlder? This strategy was used in those AFSME fliers.

Won't work. Some of us like to address the issues, not get yanked by a Clintonian wanker like you.

20. Who is "we"? Clearly it isn't Democrats for you or you'd get a clue and stop acting like a troll.

26. Eleven days ago
If what you posted in the OP is from today, it's kind of a late response, no? In fact, there doesn't seem to be much relation between the text in the OP and the link you just provided.

31. What would you say if Edward's ex-campaign manager
was spending $750K on ads against Hillary, while E dwardshimself disavowed the ads. Would you not be critical of Edwards for the same thing Obama is criticizing Edwards for? If Hillary was critical of Edwards in that regard, would you call that an attack?

25. Poor Johnny-come-lately Edwards-what a little "firebrand" he's become since he LEFT the Senate!
What a phony. I'm so glad Obama called him out! Do you not think if Edwards is somehow our nominee the Repubs. won't point to his Senate career and remind everyone of the pre-candidate Edwards? :eyes:

30. I think right about now
Edwards and Obama need to be in the mutual admiration society and hammer away the message: Experience doesn't mean a thing if you are experienced in not flat out apologizing to the left that smelled bullshit in the War in Iraq and the subsequent Occupation of Iraq from day one.

Edwards and Obama are much closer in belief system than what many of their ardent supporters (myself included) wanted to admit a few weeks ago.

That said.

:pals: Edwards/Obama :pals: or :pals:Obama/Edwards:pals: in 2008.
