Scarborough starting gradually to pump the *gasp* "Obama the most liberal" stuff from the Hillary |
|
machine.
Just keep feeding the Republicans their lines. The Hillary campaign team is nothing more than an oppo research team for McCain.

1. The Clinton campaign didn't originate the claim |
|
the National Journal did. Penn rightly said that Obama would be hurt among independents and republicans if that were more widely known.
But I expect this to blow up into another full-blown run-around-like-a-decapitated-chicken deal by people who can't read or who refuse to comprehend.

2. The funny thing is, whoever is the likely nominee at any time will magically be dubbed.... |
|
...."the most liberal person in congress".
The notion that Obama is more liberal than say, Dennis Kucinich is laughable.

7. You expect Republicans to use "liberal" as a some sort of slur, |
|
but not for a Democrat to do so.

3. The National Journal has claimed that about EVERY Democratic Nominee |
|
it says alot that they "endorsed" Obama. :rofl: They know who the real nominee is going to be. And it ain't Hillary.
The other day Scarborough was in ecstasy as he whored for Hillary. She is the GOP's wet dream nominee. She divides the Democrats and unites the Republicans.

9. This country is so far to the right, |
|
Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 08:23 AM by Benhurst
it would almost be possible to be Republican-lite and considered too liberal.
The failure of the Senate to cap interest rates for credit cards, makes it legal for the banks to charge rates which would have been considered usury not long ago.

Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 07:39 AM by anniebelle
It DID NOT originate in the Clinton camp -- it came from our RW nutjobs over at National Journal. Look it up!

10. Wasn't Obama proud to be named most liberal? Weren't you proud that he was? |
|
So I don't get your whole being peeved by it.
You act as if Hillary named him that.
So which is it. Is Obama liberal and you love it or is Obama not liberal and you don't love it?

11. We need to take "liberal" back from 'dirty word' status... |
|
"Liberal"... say it again. It's not so bad... "Liberal.."
Liberal, liberal, liberal.
Swallow it, don't go down too bad.
Yes, say it loud, I'm liberal, and proud.
Liberal about my love of freedom, Liberal in accepting differences among people, liberal in civil rights, liberal in seeing good in others. Liberal in love of country, as it SHOULD be.
We gotta get over their co-opting our words.
Use it...or lose it.

14. I agree. Having one of the Democratic party candidates use it as a slur |
|
does not get us further toward that goal.

16. I thought that was Kerry ... |
|
Whats amazing is that Faux News watchers have such short memories that they cannot remember that John Kerry is supposedly the most liberal man in the world.
For the record, the most liberal man in the Senate is Russ Feingold.
