Terry Mcauliffe said its Obama's fault for fueling the flames on the RFK comment?
That truly sounds delusional to me. As it did to Bob Schiefer on Face the Nation this am.

If Hillary supporters had any honestly they would realize she has not been harmed by her gender, she has used it to stop any honest discussion. She pushed Wright and bitter-gate and from the get go Obama has said her words about RFK were unfortunate. Now, Wolfson on Schiefer is saying Obama was fueling the flames by saying that on Friday and waiting until to day to apologize for fueling the flames.

They are stark raving mad. They honestly think Obama owes Hillary an apology over the RFK remarks.

Honest. They don't think she owes him an apology. It's gone from the sill season to the insane season.

Why can't Hillary's supporters see that? She slashes him all year long, and he calls a comment she made "unfortunate" and that talking about Bobby's assassination should have no place in this campaign and she goes ballistic? Saying HE is fueling the flames?

Maybe I've never seen where sexism comes from. Do sexist men see all women as being like Clinton is acting now?

She's all self-pity and blaming the other side.

As a feminist, I'm starting to resent what she had done to our cause.

Destroyed it.

2. The Obama campaign's response was stunningly brief, perfunctory, and
non-descript.

TerryMac is full of it.

36. Obama said hilary's comments were
"careless" in phone interview from Puerto Rico. I knew she'd be pissed at that..that's hilary in a fucking nutshell. Careless about everything even her fucking self.

40. I was just thinking how hilary would be as president with her lies
and arrogance..telling us that down was up and crooked was straight. And, there's not a damn thing we could do about it.

Obama helps us immeasureably to dodge that particular warhog, power grabbing, dlc dino, bilary admin.

37. We're told that she was tired. Well, we're all tired. Obama is tired.
McCain is MORE than tired; McCain's is legally dead.

I just can't overlook a context of political violence as justification to continue in a hopeless nomination contest.

Promoting the Hillary agenda at all costs. McAuliffe is just one of the mindless shills, utterly useless. Buh-bye DLC.

14. When he issued his comment, he hadn't seen the video or read the transcript.
And, this isn't only about the Kennedys or even about Obama at all, Goldie.

Doing otherwise would be dishonest. Of course, he could use more truthful rationale in doing his job. But it is what it is.

21. They have been doing it all along..
she comes out screaming like some lunatic about some flyer Obama sent out about the gas tax saying
"Shame on you Barack Obama!" then her cohort Ferraro has the nerve to get angry when he did the same to her.

She jumped all over him in the debate shouting "Farrakhan!Farrakhan! and other lies then they have the nerve to act as if they are appalled because he acts as if he is knocking the dirt off his shoulder. This woman really is desperate and I really think she has some mental problems..if she didn't before the campaign she does now and as this continues on it will only get worse.

I'm a fairly radical feminist, and I CANNOT STAND Hillary Clinton.

She's Rovian. That's all there is to it. Which does nothing for women, or Americans.

23. The longer her campaign goes on the more it
reminds me of the kid who runs in screaming that Johnny hurt them. When the mother asks how Johnny hurt her darling precious little one, the kid says "I was trying to hit him and he moved making me hit a brick wall! So it is Johny's fault that I hurt myself.".

24. She should fire McAuliffe and take Hillaryis44 as her spokespeople.
Edited on Sun May-25-08 02:24 PM by Kristi1696
And save her campaign a bit of money.

That's about how much skill and consideration McAuliffe is bringing right now. He's making a mockery of her campaign and candidacy. The folks over at Hillis44 are willing to do that for free.

26. Yeah, figured that was the day's talking point before seeing this.
Her supporters hit the ground running with it bright & early already.

The only thing that their camp seems to be efficient at is issuing the daily meme/rebuttal after she steps in it ... again!

28. WTF PLANET does McAuliffe live on?
The Obama camp said NOTHING much about it except that they understood it wasn't meant in any bad way. Done.

:wtf:

DELUSIONAL

And as a feminist - I agree with you. This "woman" is an EMBARASSMENT to any feminism I've ever been familiar with. I DEEPLY RESENT what Hillary Clinton has done to the cause.

NO OTHER WOMEN will be able to run for President and be taken seriously now for a LONG LONG (much LONGER) while because of HER and her assinine ANTICS during this whole thing.

This woman and her husband are VERY DISTURBED and DISTURBING people who need to be removed to a padded cell somewhere and gotten OFF the political landscape. The are JUST AS DAMAGING as George W. bu$h - for many of the SAME reasons.

34. Did you see this conversation on Hillary's sexism claim and damage done from
MTP today..

MS. DOWD: I think it's poppycock, really. I mean, Hillary Clinton has allowed women to visualize a woman as president for the first time, in the way Colin Powell allowed people to visualize an African-American. And she dominated the debates, she, she proved that a woman can have as much tenacity and gall as any man on earth. We, we can visualize her facing down Ahmadinejad. But the thing is, Hillary hurts feminism when she uses it as opportunism. And she has a history of covering up her own mistakes behind sexism. She did it with health care right after health care didn't pass. She didn't admit that she was abrasive or mismanaged it or blew off good advice or was too secretive. She said that she was a Rorschach test for gender and that many men thought of a female boss they didn't like when they looked at her. And now she's doing the same thing, and it's very--you know, in a way it's the moral equivalent of Sharptonism. It's this victimhood and angry and turning women against men and saying that the men are trying to take it away from us, in the same way she's turning Florida and Michigan and riling up and comparing them to suffragettes and slaves. And it's very damaging to feminism.

MS. IFILL: Just something, keep in mind what her audience is at this stage. Her audience, assuming she's trying to get out of this campaign with something intact and with some sort of power base intact, her audience is the truly, deeply angry women out there, who I run into, and I know who you hear from, who say, "How could you do this to us? They believe that Hillary Clinton is not the beginning of the road, but the end of the road for women in--and--with a shot at the White House. My thinking is, we didn't know two years, or we never heard of, a couple years ago that Barack Obama would be in this position. We didn't know eight years ago that she was going to be in the Senate. So things change a lot. But the despair and the anger and the fury about this is real. And that's what she's speaking to.

MS. GOODWIN: But, you know, despair and sadness is understandable, but resentments, when you let resentments fester, I think it poisons a part of you. And what you don't want women to take away, instead of seeing her as a champion who actually did some great things for women, see her instead as a victim, it doesn't help the next women coming along. So I just wish those resentments could go on--could go away.
