Union Leader calls Hillary a LIAR and that she is!

[gaiilonfong]

McQuaid’s Union Leader minces no words in slamming Clinton’s post-pledge campaigning efforts in Florida today:

COURTING VOTERS in Iowa and New Hampshire, last August Sen. Hillary Clinton signed a pledge not to “campaign or participate” in the Michigan or Florida Democratic primaries. She participated in both primaries and is campaigning in Florida. Which proves, again, that Hillary Clinton is a liar…

Clinton coldly and knowingly lied to New Hampshire and Iowa. Her promise was not a vague statement. It was a signed pledge with a clear and unequivocal meaning…

New Hampshire voters, you were played for suckers.

1. Psst. WRONG FORUM

[BOSSHOG]

2. The explanation I heard (and accept)

she wasn't campaigning she was fundraising. I accept that explanation because she indeed raise funds in Florida and the delegates still won't be seated.

I will proudly vote for the Dem nominee.

[Skidmore]

23. Well now we know what the meaning of the word "campaigning" is.

[R_M]

3. The pledge said you could not campaign...

in Florida until after the primary is held. She is breaking no rules by going there after the polls close.

It would seem that the Unionleader is your local NewYork Post.

4. What part of this don't you understand?

Post Your Topic in the CORRECT General Discussion Forum!

- PICK ONE -

If your thread is about
the Democratic presidential primaries and caucuses, or about any of the candidates running for the Democratic presidential nomination, or anything remotely related...
Please post in this forum:

If your thread is about
any other topic related to politics, issues, or current events...
Please post in this forum:

GD: Primaries General Discussion



EXPLANATION

Discussion of the Democratic presidential primaries has become very heated since the primaries and caucuses began. In order to limit the disruption caused by these topics, we are requiring that the discussion take place in the General Discussion: Primaries forum. This leaves the General Discussion forum free for the discussion of political issues unrelated to the Democratic presidential primaries.

This simple, pro-active approach has already worked successfully for us in the past, and resulted in very few instances of threads being posted in the wrong place. If it comes to the moderators' attention that a thread is posted in the wrong place, they have the authority to shut it down. If the moderators have reason to believe that anyone is deliberately posting threads in the wrong place, they can take whatever action they feel is necessary to deal with the issue.

This change is temporary, and will last until the Democratic party has a presumptive presidential nominee.

Thank you for your understanding.

5. Union Leader is good for puppy training- and starting the woodstove

not much else IMO-

I don't think FLA. should count as it stands- but I can't get behind the UL- it's a pretty rude and opinionated rag.

peace~

[reality based]

7. I never thought I would ever see the Union Leader's opinion cited with approval

on this website.

[Bluerthanblue]

9. me neither- but life is

strange-

:shrug:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

6. More Overhyped Overdramatic Candidate Smearing Bullshit.

[Dogmudgeon]

8. And Obama ran a TV ad

Do you REALLY think Hillary has it in mind to get those delegates seated?

Not a chance.

She wants Team Obama to take a stand against having certain votes counted.

Go ahead. Scream your head off. This was a concern months ago, too, before anyone's ox got gored.

--p!

[Tarc]

10. And she has not done either of those in support of the primaries

Get your facts straight before you come here and embarrass yourself, please.

[ShortnFiery]

11. That's significant. How dare he use the "L" word about Saint Hillary?

:crazy:

[MonkeyFunk]

19. because it's untrue

she hasn't campaigned in Florida.

BTW, I've asked you five times and you never responded: have you had your computer virus-scanned, because that Clinton cartoon you posted was from a rancid, rabid right-wing site. I'm afraid something is redirecting your browser unbeknownst to you.

[Maven]

12. And Obama has given a press conference there, did a media buy that reached FL

and has raised more money in certain FL counties than ANY OTHER CANDIDATE, Democratic or Republican.

[rinsd]

13. LOL! does that mean that Obama violated the pledge by participating in FL?

Also when did Hillary campaign in FL?

[Bluebear]

14. OMG ***THE*** most right wing rag in New England.

[Cooley Hurd]

16. Do they still put their fascist editorials on the front page?

The MUL sucks donkeys - my ex-wife was offered a job there, and she just laughed.:D

[Bluebear]

18. They certainly do. Talk about a POS paper, becoming more irrelevant by the day here

[_Wayne_]

15. Thanks for posting stuff here that you find on right-wing websites.

What's your fucking point, if I may ask?

[MonkeyFunk]

17. She has not campaigned in Florida

There's a liar somewhere around here but it isn't Clinton.

[Redstone]

20. Ahem. Could you find a MORE right-wing newspaper to quote?

The Union-Leader? Spare me.

Redstone

[1corona4u]

21. Oh, for suck sake.

she is NOT campaigning in Florida for the 400th time. She will be here AFTER the polls close tonight. She's not breaking ANY rules, and the deal was that they not campaign BEFORE the primary.

Jesus, does anyone read anything??? Does anyone fact-check??

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. New Hampshire

Greater Orlando has almost three times the population of the entire state of New Hampshire and I see more diversity at my local Albertsons ...

They have more right to demand they be first in the nominating process than I have to demand that Scarlett Johansson have sex with me...

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. Since when does DU use RW rags to bash our Democratic Candidates?

Oh, that's right. It's gaiilonfong. Take your RW shit to Free Republic. Here's a link: www.freerepublic.com
New Hampshire Union Leader

The July 27, 2005 front page
of the New Hampshire Union Leader
Type Daily newspaper
Format Broadsheet
Owner Union Leader Corp.
Publisher Joseph W. McQuaid
Editor Charles Perkins III
Founded 1863
Headquarters 100 William Loeb Drive
Manchester, NH 03108-9555
United States
Website: UnionLeader.com

The New Hampshire Union Leader is the daily newspaper of Manchester, the largest city in the state of New Hampshire. As of 2003 it has a daily circulation of 61,548; as of 2006, the circulation of its Sunday paper, the New Hampshire Sunday News, was 72,833<1>. It was founded in 1863.

It was called just The Union Leader until April 4, 2005.

The paper is best known for the conservative political opinions of its late publisher, William Loeb, and his wife, Elizabeth Scripps "Nackey" Loeb. Famously, the paper helped defeat Maine Senator Edmund Muskie in his 1972 bid for the presidency by attacking Muskie's wife, Jane, in editorials, leading him to defend her -- supposedly tearful -- in a press conference that some say ruined his image in the state. (See also: Canuck Letter.)

Over the decades, the Loebs gained considerable influence, and helped shape New Hampshire's conservative political landscape. The newspaper's strident tone has lessened considerably since the Loebs died. In 2000, after Nackey's death on January 8, Joseph McQuaid took over publishership.

25. since forever

at least in the I/P dungeon, some of the "media" used to back up people's weak arguments is pretty embarrasing

[in_cog_ni_to]

26. The I/P dungeon is a disgusting, hateful place too. I avoid it like the plague.

:( RW Rags aren't suppose to be used here.

[Djinn]

27. I guess part of it is down to perception

To most non Americans most of your media is virulently right wing. There are certainly people posting here who would absolutely 100% be considered conservatives if they lived in Australia, and from my point of the political spectrum DU itself is pretty right wing.
