The curious relationship between Hillary Rodham Clinton, presidential candidate, and Rupert Murdoch, media baron, flashed briefly before the eyes of Iowans on Saturday night during a Clinton campaign event.

A woman in the audience rose to ask Mrs. Clinton about Mr. Murdoch's ownership of multiple media outlets (Fox News, the New York Post, soon the Wall Street Journal, and various other organs), and also whether Americans would "lose out democracy" if one person is in control of the media.

And Mrs. Clinton played both sides in her answer, responding sympathetically to the woman's concern about media consolidation, but also making clear that she wasn't singling out "any company in particular" for condemnation.

Every time I think that Hillary has done all she can to show what a lying, conniving bitch she is, she surprises me with something new.

Her backroom dealing, double speak and pompous presumptive entitlement attitude is recognized by the majority of Democrats, and - contrary to the 1000 person polls and (so-called) pundits' pronouncements - will result in her being defeated. The "experts" have a rude awakening coming on primary day.

Hillary and Bill are in bed with Mr. Rupert Murdoch. They are signing deals everyday with lobbyist. I wonder what they pre sold this time in the White House. I think she is going to find out that the American people is going to let her and Bill know the White House is not for sale!!!!! Mr. Murdoch wants something from Bill and Hillary. He would not meet with someone they dislike. They made some kind of a deal. The reporters need to find out what the deal was.... Sounds fishy to me!!!!

Even though many may like the policies that Senator Clinton proposes, they should also consider her record , just as Senator Clinton insists.
.
The last Clinton Administration, when faced with the fact that protection rackets where torturing people with poison and radiation, chose to avoid its responsibilities to incarcerate the criminals and protect the citizenry.
.
Instead, they made a deal with the criminal gang stalker protection rackets to leave them alone and to consequently abandon the citizenry.
.
Do we want a President who sells out the citizenry for votes?
.
Do we want a President who sends a "crime does pay" message to society?
.
Would you vote for a President who has signed nonagression deals with the KKK or the Nazi party? Gangs that torture with poison and radiation are much like the KKK and Nazi Party.
.
We do not need a sellout President. We need a principled leader President.
.
I could be wrong since I was not there when the sellout decision was made but since nobody will admit the sellout they do not have to defend it.
.
If you are one of the few who do not know what the above refers to, do a web search for "gang stalking" to see the tip of the dirtberg. Do it before you decide to reply to my post.

Hillary Clinton is pumping up her Iowa operation with 100 newly hired campaign operatives in that state alone, and millions of dollars of ad buys. She knows that this election isn't going to be like before - with the compressed caucus/primary schedule, a loss in Iowa will send her campaign (really, anyone's campaign) into free-fall.

People in Iowa are concerned about her Murdoch ties and are asking the tough questions, which is why we're getting to hear about them now.

Ive been hearing more and more republicans pushing for Hillary. Even tonight on eat the press Marylin Matalin , James Carvels wife was praising Clinton and giving tips on how she could easily beat out the other democrats.

They really want her to run, as it would be the greatest single unifier of republicans and many independents to really consider voting republican, even if Bush was running for a 3rd term.

Hillary is the best way to lose. No doubt about it. I know I couldnt even vote if it was Hillary was the only alternative to a republican.

It looks like Rupert K Murdoch ONLY donated to Hillary Clinton's campaign:

It strikes me as odd that the owner of Fox News would only donate to her, but I'm sure he is doing it for a reason.

Of course she won't give a straight answer. Because if she dared to do that Murdoch would beat her sorry hypocritical ass into the ground.

is she capable of giving a straight answer? if asked what her favorite team is, will she say the yankees if in new york, or maybe the mets, while in new york, but while in chicago, the white sox or cubs. she's a scary creature, indeed.

Murdoch loves Hillary, he even raises money for her. Bush loves Hillary. Rove loves Hillary. I wonder why she is getting such wonderful support from Republicans. Maybe it might have something to do with her votes for the Iraq war. Could have something to do with Kyl/lieberman. May have something to do with voting for the Patriot Act. How about the fact she stated that the top 6% are the middle class. A vote for Hillary is a vote for Bush/Republican/Neo-con principles. When has she every gone against them when it mattered most? Never.

So Clinton gets tough policy questions and Obama is asked if he ever smoked pot?
