Why is it that anything Hillary says about Obama Keith labels as "negative

[jasmine621]

attacks," but whatever Obama says about Hillary is just a "response" or visionary speech.

[Freida5]

1. It is GENBC policy to attack Hillary and praise BO to improve ratings among young people

[jasmine621]

11. Well if you don't think that a lot of Obama's comments about Hillary are "nasty"

there is little to talk about because many of his comments are some of the nastiest of the primary season.

[Freida5]

13. I think much of the Obama campaign is mean and angry, but NBC won't cover that part

[sandnsea]

29. Such as? n/t

[islandmkl]

2. uhhh...maybe it's just what she says

[my3boyz]

3. Because it is true! Hillary always comes off as nasty

and vindictive! Obama at least APPEARS to be above the fray. We will see it again when she comes out nasty in the debate! lol

[HughMoran]

4. Keith Obamaman?

He's got a right to favor a candidate - he favors Obama by being more critical of Hillary - whatchagonnado?

:shrug:

[Fredda Weinberg]

5. Let it be ... both will be around when this is over n/t

[MethuenProgressive]

6. Keith has a Man Crush on Obama

Let's Hope he gets Cured.
:eyes:

[rodeodance]

36. I am beginning to think so--started about a month ago or so.. He is more styled about

it than Tweety but it is there.

[Windy]

7. Keith is fair. He is a wonderful progressive voice. We need more Keith Os.

The problem is with Hillary's tactics.

The super delegate issue and MI and FL did not help her in WI. Dems don't want to think that their vote may mean nothing and that the election will be decided in a back room somewhere.

Hillary also went negative in WI with ads and it didn't help her.

She now has a 527 that is going to be assisting her.

Her campaign denied bringing up the "plagarism" allegation... despite the FACT that it was Wolfson who brought it up in a conference call with supporters.

The problem is not Keith.

[HughMoran]

9. He's not really fair

C'mon, if you didn't favor Obama you would have a different viewpoint.

[melody]

23. He's entirely fair -- I backed Edwards before he dropped out

I like both Obama and Clinton. I'm behind Obama now but I voted for Edwards in the primary.
Keith has never been anything but fair and evenhanded. To suggest otherwise is to betray
an emotional reaction that is impacting judgment.

[Capn Sunshine]

47. If he said negative stuff about my candidate, I'd reconsider their tactics

Olberman is very down the middle fair.I've heard him say things about Obama which indicated he needed to clarify some points, so he did.

What turned him was Hillary prevailing on MSNBC to fire David Shuster, which struck him as something the Rove/Bush team would do to an opponent. Freedom of the Press is important to many in the business.

[HughMoran]

49. OK

Keep living in your little fairy-land. Only an Obama supporter would think he was even remotely fair to Hillary.

[TheDonkey]

50. So now you will throw KO under the bus. How many progressives must die before HC wins

is this her campaigns goal?

[HughMoran]

51. Throw him under the bus? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SMOKING??

I said he wasn't fair to Hillary - is that a FUCKING PROBLEM???

...or is Keith beyond anything even resembling criticism?

[emilyg]

15. He's not fair.

[rodeodance]

40. KO went neg on Hillary over a month ago--very UNprofessional. I expected more from him.

[Whisp]

8. cuz it seems to be true?

Obama is mostly defending himself against Clinton's flailing insults, and I think he does it quite graciously and mannerly.
Now if he foamed at the mouth and starting stomping his feet or starts getting dirty, I'm sure you would like that. I'm sure Hillary would Love that.

but he doesn't.
He conducts himself quite well in how he handles her attacks and this is impressing people who are sick and tired of the dialogue we are supposed to be used to.

[Renew Deal]

10. Because Hillary and her supporters incessantly attack.

They're rabid.

[emilyg]

16. Rabid is a good word for you.

[Renew Deal]

19. Thanks

It's part of the college graduate thing. Big words.

[rodeodance]

41. that is a polite word--

[doc03]

12. Here's a poll on media bias in favor of Obama

and/or against Hillary, 71% thinks media favors Obama.

http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/lou.dobbs.tonight/

[emilyg]

17. Thank you.

[doc03]

21. And this is a Lou Dobbs poll where

probably a majority of his listeners are Republicans and Hillary haters.

[doc03]

25. In the latest Time Magazine they had a

list of things Hillary Clinton would like to have and one was the favorable press coverage Obama gets.

[orchidlover127]

30. Thank you

I know I sound like a paranoid baby to all my egobamaniac family and friends -now I know I am not going crazy!

[rodeodance]

37. much thanks. Its there for all to see when people open their eyes.

[gerrilea]

14. The powers that be don't want HRC, they are afraid of her

She could say that Obama is the best thing since sliced bread and they would destroy her saying she was being racist...

It's all about getting the masses to go for Obama, so they then can destroy him in the GE...get it yet...I did a month ago...

[rodeodance]

42. the msm has already lynched her I am afraid. Its not letting up at all.

[doc03]

43. The MSM? The Air America people all seem to support

Hillary. Ed Schultz hates her, I know he is not AA but they carry him. I can't stand to listen to AA anymore, Hillary gets better treatment from Rush Limbaugh.

[rodeodance]

45. yes--even left radio has jumped the shark. i stopped listening to Ed a few

months ago when he had a tantrum cause Hillary did not show up for this show.

[Captain Hilts]

52. I can't listen to Steph Miller any more. And I like her AND Obama. Enough! nt

[Straight Shooter]

18. He has a primarily specific demographic audience, and he has an agenda. n/t

[DURHAM D]

26. Yes and Yes. n/t

[bowens43]

20. Because Hillary is very negative. Thats why she's going to lose. nt

[Captain Hilts]

22. Because folks like MoDo have defined her as 'cold' and 'calculating'. nt

[Recursion]

24. Why did the "New Coke" marketing campaign fail? nt

[Binka]

27. Ah Shit That Was Funny!

:hi: from the mom of a Marine 3/7 Infantry based at 29 Palms CA. He is out now due to his injuries in Iraq, but Semper Fi!

[Recursion]

35. Semper fi back

And hope he recovers fully & quickly.

[Binka]

44. He is Good Building Houses in NOLA

Habitat for Humanity. Getting his head straight.

[elixir]

28. No negative press, no coverage of campaign conference calls, no quotes from campaign

workers...why are we not hearing any of this crap about the Obama camp? How do they insulate themselves?

[Occam Bandage]

33. It's called "effective media management." It's something the HRC campaign was supposed to know.

[elixir]

54. More like media bias, I suspect.

[Occam Bandage]

31. Why is it that Hillary can only engage in negative smear politics?

[scheming daemons]

32. Because lately, EVERYTHING SHE SAYS IS A NEGATIVE ATTACK.

To paraphrase Harry Truman....


Keith isn't giving the Hillary campaign hell, he's just telling the truth on them and they think it's hell!

[MoonRiver]

34. We've stopped recording Keith every night.

He used to be a "must watch" for me. The MSNBC lynching of Hillary Clinton has totally turned me off.

[rodeodance]

38. I have mainly stopped watching also. It is sick.

[rodeodance]

39. btw--VERY appropo use of the term L.

[KAZ]

48. Whackjob. (not KO)

[Johnny__Motown]

46. Because everything Hillary says about Obama IS negative

[meow mix]

53. because it is negative

duh
