Comments on: Bill Clinton Blames “Slanted Press Coverage” for Obama's Delegate Lead

[nearl4511]

What is the intention of claiming that one is "the white candidate"?

Yeah, the press has been way too tough on her - not.

[nearl4511]

The press is to blame?

After a cr*ppy campaign strategy on Spuer Tuesday that required several restructuring since, the HIllary campaign has found its target audiences: Older women and less educated white men. Hiilary is not afraid to pander to the basest of interests nor benefit from abject racism at this point (Hey, I know West Virginia).

No it is thepresses fault for not coronating here from the beginning.

Bill ****.

Remember in the fall when you Hillary Clinton were asked about the Iraq vote and you said I voted how I thought I should and if you don%u2019t like it there are others to vote for. Well, thanks Hillary Clinton, we did find someone else to vote for. Hillary your vote for Iraq was a calculated vote to put you in position to run for President. Well, if you would have Calculated better and voted against it, you would be the nominee.

But now you are running like you are one of the people. Please! You are the richest of all the candidates running and are far more an a elitists then everyone else. The fact that you continue to push the rumors to your working class minions about Obama shows how manipulative you really are. And you even have women believing they are the downtrodden. Hillary you are not downtrodden. You are a US Senator. And remember how you got there too Hillary. Certainly not how many other great women got there on their own volition. You instead rode to the Whitehouse purely on your husbands adulterous coattails. Poor Hillary. But Hillary stop using people like they are yours to manipulate.

And don%u2019t call my vote from a caucus state worthless either. Perhaps in past elections caucuses were activivists but this year the turnouts for caucuses had primary like numbers. So in your 50 state count, you also need to count the small caucus states which puts you about 1.4 million votes behind.

[Possible causes for Obama''''s lead might be: 1.better organization, 2.better message, 3.better networking, 4.better internet usage, 5.better fund-raising, 6.less negative campaigning, 7.higher voter appeal, 8.higher honesty level, 9.better response to adversity, and 10.less time alibing failures! ]

these may be factors ... but the most important one is what''s in the mind of the prospective voter ... on both sides of the aisle.

it''s now a sophisticated game of psychology ... where ''the message'' (your #2) is totally engineered to ''push the buttons'' in every voters heads about how they should ''feel'' about a candidate.

it''s way too sophisticated for most voters to recognize ... everyone is manipulated by it ... and it explains how less qualified candidates make it to the end of the race to ultimately take the prize.

there are defenses against these techniques ... but an expectation that the average voter is capable ... or willing to understand these principles is asking too much.

after all ... the finals of american idol and dancing w/ the stars is on and they need to have their vote heard there.

[When an Obama lover writes that European countries like Obama over Clinton it is because they want to see America sink deeper into despair.]
[Posted by bajajohn1 at 12:31 AM : May 21, 2008]

can you explain this? you''re saying that ''the obama lover'' consciously wants the country to sink deeper into despair?

what is their motivation for this? what do they have to gain from this? who will be served by this?

[justspiffy]

I feel sorry for this country.
I really do. Rev.Wright made no
difference. Rezko made no difference. We have some real uneducated people who only listen to talking heads.
I doubt if many know the Federal
deficit. Or the National Debt.
It''s easy to find.
I have not heard one word from Obama about what he would do about this. But it will take years to ever see a surplus. Why aren''t any of them talking about the real problems here. The dollar falls every day and then oil goes up.
We''re turning into a 3rd world contry right before our eyes.
And we demand nothing from any one
running for President. Amazing!

The pity card and today i hear the gender card will be played......sad sad sad

Obama takes high road 08

[pepperwood2]

The following Bill, is something more you can whine about. How about just chilling out.

Sources with direct knowledge of the conversation between Sen. Clinton and Gov. Bill Richardson, D-N.M., prior to the Governor''s endorsement of Obama say she told him flatly, "He cannot win, Bill. He cannot win."

Don''''t you see, Bill - It''''s not fair, I''''m the Queen Bee & It''''s suppose to be all about me. I''''m just warming up. Show me more of your money. I''m in it to win it. I flatly dare you to support him. I don''t get mad I get even. Just so you know The feminists are all behind me and we will stop at nothing to further divide the Democratic Party just to keep Obama from winning the presidential election. So Sad, but what did we expect.

Richardson, who served in President Clinton''''s cabinet, disagreed.

[stn_sage]

Possible causes for Obama''s lead might be: 1.better organization, 2.better message, 3.better networking, 4.better internet usage, 5.better fund-raising, 6.less negative campaigning, 7.higher voter appeal, 8.higher honesty level, 9.better response to adversity, and 10.less time alibing failures!

But obcourse, Bill Clinton wants to blame the media, ostensibly, in the hope that they''ll become even MORE one-sided in Hillary''s favor than they are already!

With the exception of Bush/Cheney, no one has gotten more of a ''free-ride'' than the Clintons'' this campaign cycle! Gimme a break!

The findings raise new questions about the Christian views of Obama,

There have been some sexist comments by the media. But this is the same media then spent most of April looping Rev. Wright.
The Clinton''s should be happy. The media could have spent April on the Peter Paul story. (I will do the courtesey of not posting it here)

And no Bill, nobody "on Television told West Virginians to stay at home" That is a fabrication.

[cbsblogger]

Perhaps Clinton was not getting the positive coverage because the press is as sick of the Bush -Clinton dynasties in the Whitehouse as many Americans are.

[harrydoghiny]

Hey Bill. Call the WAAAAmbulance...

[foenoone]

Whether you love or hate the Clintons it is UNDENIABLE that alot of the political commentators, left AND right, have been shafting Hillary and her campaign for the last few months. People that I usually pay attention to like Olberman, Chris Matthews, and Tim Russert turned out to be huge a-holes when it came to ''commentating'' on Hillary. If you don''t see that, your totally blind. Why did this happen? In my opinion...d*ck fear. These guys were so rubbed the wrong way by a woman seeking the office of president they acted like a bunch of neanderthal, knuckle-dragging jocks. I used to really admire all of these guys, but after this election it''s clear that the media-bots on the both sides are capable of dumb a$$ shenanigans. Hillary may have made some mistakes in her campaign, but overall she got f''ing TRASHED by the media, specifically by the arrogant self serving frat boys that deliver the news every night. "Good night and good luck" my ***. Couldn''t think of your own tag line...KEITH?

White Christians are "make pretend" believers and conservative Christians emulate the people who killed Jesus, according to articles in a controversial magazine run by Sen. Barack Obama''s longtime pastor that paint traditional Christianity as false and racist.

Stanley Kurtz, a National Review Online contributor, concluded after reviewing two years of Rev. Jeremiah Wright''s Trumpet Magazine that the Trinity United Church of Christ pastor practices a black liberation theology brand of Christianity that "sees his own form of Christianity as profoundly different from Christianity as typically practiced by most American whites and blacks."

The findings raise new questions about the Christian views of Obama, a longtime Trinity member who was featured on Trumpet magazine''s cover several times and last year granted an exclusive, lengthy interview to the publication.

[erichsh]

makeitso928, so do you advocate that Keith Olbermann be forced to provide airtime to conservatives? Or that Rush Limbaugh''s show be outlawed because he doesn''t give sufficient airtime to liberals? You adopt a very idealistic position, but just how do you go about enforcing it?

There are already shows like the kind you advocate - the McLaughlin Group comes to mind - but these usually degenerate into episodes of heads talking over and past each other, not engaging in civil discourse. Right now, people have the power to choose their own stations and shows without having some government-imposed mandate of "fairness" shoved down their throats.

How can you reconcile the traditional liberal advocacy of freedom of speech with some government-defined, legally imposed doctrine of "fairness"?

[veteran72]

Wasn''''t it Billy Boy who said "You don''''t hear us complaining about the press" a few weeks ago?

And the "If you can''''t stand the heat " line from Hillary?

Do they EVER take responsibilty for their own actions and shotcomings?

Obama has developed a strategy to con Hillary supporters into voting for him using various ploys, including: 1. The "Supreme Court" card, i.e. if Obama doesn''t win, McCain will appoint conservative judges. 2. The "Roe v. Wade" card, i.e. if Obama doesn''t win, the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade. 3. The "race card,", i.e. if you are against Obama, then you are a racist. 4. The "real Democrat" card, i.e. "real Democrats" will vote for the Democratic nominee whether they like him or not. 5. The "Hillary would want you to vote for Obama" card, which is self-explanatory.
Obama, his supporters, the DNC, the party elite, and the mainstream media have conspired to marginalize the millions of Democrats who have voted for Hillary, and they will now be using every trick in the book to "bring the party together" to further their ruthless ambitions. They will want you to forget all about the months of biased press, the biased party elite, the insults, and the race-cards. They will want you to forget that the Democratic Party now is the party that stands for disenfranchisement and the rationalization of racism. They will use any method to persuade you to vote for the man who they have preordained as the Democratic nominee. DON''T FALL FOR IT!

Whether you write-in Hillary, if possible, vote for John McCain, or sit out the election, remember that your action or inaction could result in the election of the inexperienced, deceptive, ruthless and divisive Obama.
