Obama rips, slams, blasts, Clinton
Edited on Tue Jan-22-08 07:12 PM by guerrillafiter
Have you noticed that when the Clintons have something to say about Obama the media simply quotes him?
Look at this headline:
Clinton says Obama 'looking for a fight'
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22784712/

Remember, the script is Obama slams, much like a wrestler breaking his opponent's bones, while Clinton "says". Or the usual colon:
Clinton: Obama this, this and that.

Here is another typical one:
Clinton Says Obama Playing Racial Politics
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/01/13/clinton_says_obama_playing_rac.html

But yesterday all we saw was Obama slamming, blasting super-duper whacking, smashing, etc., Bill Cinton, for distorting Obama's words, according to Obama. Here are more examples.

Obama Slams Clinton for Nevada Mailer
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/01/obama-slams-cli.html

There are examples of Clinton "slamming" Obama but they are few.

Obama always "hits" Clinton..but Clinton takes a swipe. Meaning he tried to hit Obama but we don't know if he landed the blow or not.

Doesn't seem fair to me.

2. Right
The Clinton's lambaste him in tag team fashion from multiple states and talk shows in unison. Then Obama takes a stance and decisively strikes back and now they are the one's saying he's looking for a fight? What a crock of shit. The best thing Bill can do for Obama is to keep doing what he's doing because it's obviously hurting Hillary.
