Hillary is getting defensive. . .she just shouted at Russert when he read Clyburn's quote. . .

[wndycty]

. . .she would not let him get the question out. She is not addressing the question about Clyburn or Donna Brazille, she is defending the attack on Obama. THIS WILL NOT GO OVER WELL!

ON EDIT: America has a short attention span, the fact that she spent the 1st 13 minutes of the the show on the defensive about Obama is not good for her. Most Americans do not watch MTP, but the press will pull snippets and clip of her shouting at Russert will be played far and wide.

ON SECOND EDIT: Its now 16 minutes in and she is still be asked about Barack. . .LOL Short attention span folks, short attention span. The more she talks about Obama the better.

ON THIRD EDIT:: At 41 minutes in she is still being forced to talk about Obama.

2. It's obvious that she's attempting to filibuster Tim when he asks

embarrassing questions.

[TankLV]

52. yeah - like trying unsuccessfully to goad her into trash talking about obama, but she REFUSES!

and actually COMPLIMENTS the man - repeatedly - over russTARD's interrupting her!

Good god, obamabots can't even take or recognize a COMPLIMENT when they get one!

Simply, truly amazing...

It seems to me that Hillary spent half her time DEFENDING and COMPLIMENTING obama with russTARD...but that's aparenly not good enough for the obamabots...

oh - and there was NO shouting at all...play a video of it and see for yourselves...

[Nimrod2005]

3. This woman is dangerous!

[rodeodance]

18. ha ha--she had strong responses to Russturds baiting.

[George II]

43. How? Why?

You'd applaud any MAN who did what she did this morning

[DemCam]

56. Exactly...she won't roll over for Russert. LOL

[vee]

4. Looks like she wanted to smack him!

[quickesst]

5. Only after....

pig Russert wouldn't finish the enire quote, pathetically, and desperately trying to define the words to fit his anti-Hillary rhetoric. Typical that HRC haters refuse, in a repug sort of way, to accept this crap without question, and without absorbing the entire context of the statement Bill Clinton made. Obama supporters in particular have a strange way of confusing fighting back for desparation. Typical. Thanks.

10. A simply don't take anyone seriously who uses the term "Hillary haters."

Preferring one candidate does not equate to hating another. Until the "Hillary obsessives" (fair enough?) come to grips with that, every time they use the term "Hillary hater" it just sounds like childish whining. Accept the fact that some people do dislike her, just as some dislike Obama or Kucinich or whomever. But stop with this "hate" nonsense.

.

[creeksneakers2]

27. There are dislikers and there are haters

Some are capable of accepting the wild unbelievable stories about Hillary. That's a sign of hatred. And the language and names they call her! They express something stronger than dislike.

[wndycty]

28. And there are those of who like Hillary, but support Obama and are disappointed . . .

. . .in the way she has run her campaign.

[George II]

44. But it's perfectly fine to you for those "haters" to continually whine about Clinton?

[Atman]

55. How does your head feel?

You must have a big bruise where your knee jerked up and smacked you in your forehead. Maybe you should have read what I wrote instead of reaching for your Insto Hillary Defender Utility Belt. . Good god, man...what a lame response to a post about not taking seriously people who refer to everyone who crits Hillary as a hater...call 'em a hater.

:eyes:

.

[George II]

57. My head feels just fine - yours?

[dionysus]

59. omg

Insto Hillary Defender Utility Belt

is there a matching decoder ring?

AWESOME

[Kahuna]

12. Only because Hillary didn't finish Obama's quote where he said..

Although he didn't know how he would vote, he was CERTAIN that bush didn't make his case. Works both ways.

[Atman]

6. This whole Hillary-a-thon this morning is disgusting

I'm watching Tweety now...it's "official," apparently, the only two people running for the Dem nomination are Obama and Clinton. He even said so..."This race is between Clinton and Obama."

I wish some fancy-pants lawyer had the nerve to bring a class-action suit calling for GE to divest itself of NBC. There is no way a major defense contractor should be allowed to own the media/set the agenda for the voters.

Oh, and the other observation; how they all just joke about the polls now. Can't quote 'em, because as Chris said "We haven't perfected them yet." YET? They were perfected for years before Bush came along, now they can't even seem to get them accurate enough to predict what they're families want for dinner. This is a very dark period for democracy, no doubt.

[AspenRose]

38. From your keyboard to God's ears

"I wish some fancy-pants lawyer had the nerve to bring a class-action suit calling for GE to divest itself of NBC. There is no way a major defense contractor should be allowed to own the media/set the agenda for the voters."

7. GO TO YOUR ROOMS! nt

[uncertainty1999]

8. I disagree - she is answering questions well AND challenging the lies/micharacterizations

...which is something recent democratic prez candidates have failed to do in recent years.

[Kahuna]

9. Oh Crap! Tim just used the "L" (Lewinsky) word. Hillary employed

her patented cackle.

[Atman]

19. Sexist pig!

Just gettin' that one first before the "Hillary obsessives" do.

.

[rodeodance]

21. ha ha---I love her cackle and she showed Tim what a bunch of crapola his question was.

[rodeodance]

11. Tim did little else except toss Obama related questions at her--Of course she

has to respond.

ON EDIT: America has a short attention span, the fact that she spent the 1st 13 minutes of the the show on the defensive about Obama is not good for her. Most Americans do not watch MTP, but the press will pull snippets and clip of her shouting at Russert will be played far and wide.

[rodeodance]

15. slightly raising her voice does NOT equal shouting. What a silly IP

[creeksneakers2]

30. I thought showing emotion would hurt her

but it seems to work for her.

[TankLV]

53. correction: spending time DEFENDING obama - and - horrors - COMPLIMENTING him!

but you were too busy hating her to actually LISTEN...

[etherealtruth]

13. good for her

I'm not watching, but if true ....good for her.

"Everyone" complained about Kerry not fighting attacks and about other Dems being led into conversations they didn't need to have by the media ... if HRC has overpowered Timmy and refused to play his little game ....good for her!

[flpoljunkie]

14. MTP interview will not help HRC with the black vote in SC, or any other state, for that matter.

[Imagevision]

16. Hillary (on damage control) pretty much controlled Russert bigtime

[stopfascism]

17. we are not watching the same MTP

Russert is playing fast and loose with the Clinton FT quote and she only set him straight. She has every right to talk over the loser. Clybun and Brazille are making hay over nothing!

[Kahuna]

20. No she didn't. The Clinton's are lying about Obama's 2004 quote

and leaving off where Obama MAINTAINED that he didn't believe that bush had made a case to invade Iraq.

[rodeodance]

22. Truth hurts doesn't it.

[stopfascism]

33. Timmy is misogynist

he especially hates the strong, stand your ground, women who correct his stupidity on national television. It's fun to watch regardless of what candidate you support.
:popcorn:

[creeksneakers2]

31. That's not quite it

"FROM MY PERSPECTIVE" Meaning that he didn't have all the information so he didn't know.

[HughMoran]

23. I think you are doing a good job

Of expressing your opinion!

[DeepModem Mom]

24. I've never posted in one of these candidate war posts, but I heard no shouting.

I don't want to argue about what's been said by HRC or Timmy. Just saying that I heard absolutely no shouting.

[wndycty]

25. Well I know everyone hates politico but they saw Hillary talking over Russet

-snip-
Clinton was extremely assertive, at several points talking over Russert as he tried to finish a question.

“Tim, let me — let me stop you right there,” she said at one point. “No, wait a minute. ... You did not give the entire quote.”
-snip-

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0108/7864.html

[DeepModem Mom]

32. She definitely talked over Russert, but I didn't hear "shouting." nt

[sojourner]

35. Any candidate on any media show HAS to be willing to do this.......or else the pundits literally put

words in their mouths. Didn't see the show, not interested in HRC, but I've been watching M$M (Tim Russert, Chris Matthews, etc.) long enough to know that they DON'T play fair, Sounds to me HRC was smart in responding assertively.

[etherealtruth]

36. wow, if your quotes are accurate

(and I have no reason to doubt they are) .... GOOD FOR HER !

[Mz Pip]

47. Amen to that.

Candidates are criticized for letting Timmy control the message. He takes quotes out of context and when candidates let him go on and on they are labeled weak.

Hillary wouldn't let him manipulate the interview. Good for her.

I haven't decided on who I am voting for. I like both Obama and Hillary. I thought she did a good job on MTP. I didn't see any shouting either.

:dem:

[Derek Roy]

26. Kucinich

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton say they are for change however they support many policies of the Bush administration. There Platforms are overwhelmingly similar, and include many issues most politically educated people would understand to be a more conservative stance.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wt0iTWQxykQ

Kucinich has been blocked out of the media and excluded from many debates, it is up to us to educate our selfs on the candidates and not allow the media to foce feed us lies

[goldcanyonaz]

29. A woman raises her voice and she's 'shouting', a man raises his voice and he's assertive.

She wasn't 'shouting' she was speaking in an authoritative voice. Good for her.

[George II]

42. When you're dealing with anti-Clintonites that's the way they see it.

[okasha]

51. And when she gets a catch in her throat

it's a crying jag.

[TankLV]

34. She's not letting russTURD get away with his BULLSHIT and BAITING...

She PUNKED his ass GOOD...

BTW - russTURD tried to get her to say something derrogatory about obama and SHE WOULDN'T BITE - but aparently that's not good enough for you people...

[Kahuna]

37. Someone I have on ignore is replying to my posts. Just want you to

that you can save it because you're on ignore. That is all. ;)

[TankLV]

54. good for you - how gracious of you...

[emilyg]

39. Good for her.

[Bread and Circus]

40. so... which one of her voices will she use from now on?

[George II]

45. I guess she'll have to check in with anti-Clintonites at DU for instructions?

[George II]

41. That wasn't yelling - why do you ant-Clintonites have to lie?

[Cameron27]

48. She wasn't yelling

she controlled that interview, despite Russert's slimy efforts to play gotcha.

[annie1]

46. i feel sorry for Russert, holy shit!

[NastyRiffraff]

49. I don't EVER feel sorry for Russert

He did his usual "gotcha" technique, giving part of the story, selectively quoting, and she very firmly countered him. Of COURSE she talked over him...she did exactly what Democratic supporters have been crying for for years. Defend yourself, strongly and capably, when you're unfairly challenged. It's one thing to ask hard questions of a candidate...they all should be subject to those. It's quite another to use a "gotcha" technique that Russert is well known for, especially on Democratic candidates.

I hope ALL our candidates will do the same thing to Russert and his ilk.

[annie1]

50. ah, true, thanks. I only started watching tv again recently...

so i am not very familiar with him.

[Catherine Vincent]

58. Somebody needs to should down that bastid! nt
