Time's Halperin Apologizes For Saying Edwards "Thinks Obama Is Kind Of A Pussy"

O.K. - expect an endorsement from Edwards before Ohio/Texas

Absolutely nothing and I mean NOTHING will get the GOP to the polls as Hillary being the Dem candidate.

Hill and McCain vote the same most of the time. The debates between these two will be laughable.

Obama has the issues to attack McCain - primarily the war and his flip-flopping on torture. McCain can't be trusted for his straight talk has turned into the GOP line proving he will do anything to be president.

Obama is proving he draws moderate Republicans to the primaries. Hillary will drive them directly to McCain.

Obama 2008

"Lightweight" is the polite term. Halperin and Edwards are right, by the way. Obama, like Clinton, has embraced the "centrist" politics that any Democrat needs to win the White House. But unlike Clinton, Obama combines this centrism with an aversion for conflict, and a clear preference for compromise for the sake of compromise. No wonder Obama doesn't support genuine universal health care - that would involve going head-to-head with the drug companies and insurance companies.

President Bush has come out in support of the Clintons. Saying "I don"t think Bill is a racist", (talk about triangulation), and that "Obama has no experience". WAKE UP PEOPLE! The Repubs want the Clintons to get the nomination. It"s now CRYSTAL CLEAR! It"s obvious and shame on us if we can"t see them for what they are. Just because we"re paranoid of them, doesn"t mean they"re not manipulating us. The radio news reports (AP news) of the election is playing only Hillary sound bites, listen carefully. The Right control most of the Radio networks. It"s starting to NOT go their way, and their only hope of winning is to run against the Clintons. Don"t be stupid & fooled by Coulter, Limbaugh and the rest. They"re actually saying they"ll campaign for her. They know she"s their only shot. I like her too (inspite of all the scandals), but no one will admit they"re really voting for Bill. She feels like the safe bet, like when you're playing not to lose. But energizing the right and dividing us into red & blue is exactly what will happen & what the Right wants. What we need is courage to change it all (she"ll be a part of it, but not front and center), to diffuse any power they have left. It will then be between new and really old, real change and another Bush term. That we can win on. Even Ann Coulter knows it..

Edwards is the REAL pussy!

Only changed his stance on the Iraq War once polls dropped for support in 2006.

What a week it's been for famous people publicly using vulgar words. I think Mark Halperin and Jane Fonda should go hang out and just let all their favorite words fly. Better yet, they should make a comedy album or podcast, or write a short play and star in it. Maybe they could call it, the Halperin-Fonda Monologues.

This is just a writter who wants to cause trouble in the Obama camp,and your letting them do it. Wise up, the man could simply be telling stories out of school, as we use to say. This isn't anything to argue about. Why is it even posted? It's simply nonsense.

Oh loose lipped journalists -- they too love MCain who is apt to call them jerks once in a while..

Oh snap! What a bunch of potty mouths! Where's that bar of soap? I'm not sure if everyone is having lapses in judgement or are they sending their messages and then they just say "I sowwy."

"Pussy" isn't sexist. After all, didn't Bush's Daddy use it to discuss how he kicked Dan Rather's ass on the CBS Evening News. Made the old man feel macho to call Leslie Stahl a "pussy."

Can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

Halperin knows better. He just figured he could get away with it.

New Rule, New Rule. If ANYONE accuses someone ( by using their own words or the "words of other") to say/state/imply (See Mean Jean Schmidt of Ohio) of being a coward, p+ssy, etc, the offended party has every right to prove they are not a coward by punching said accuser in the face ( yes, even flag dress wearing, stiff backed Congresswomen) with no repercussions.

Yes, we must raise the level of discourse. Edwards calling Obama a pussy, for gosh sakes.

That's like the bush calling the snatch "cunt."

Halperin would make a great Republican. He manages to slime Clinton, Obama, and Edwards --- all three of them --- in the space of a single verbal paragraph. Karl Rove himself would be proud.
So what's Halperin up to? Is he angling for an anchor job at Fox News, or just trying to get Ann Coulter to notice him?

Don't discount Barack's androgyny. It drives the groupies wild.

I am going to take a minority position and suggest this may be a subterfuge for Mr. Halperin.

My take is his comment was his sneaky way of leveling a backhanded compliment at Obama while having the intended consequence of suggesting that Hillary might be the stronger candidate.

Halperin and Newsweek's Howard Fineman have repeatedly chided the media for its constant criticism of Clinton while giving a relative free pass to Obama.

Lol, Freudian slip or a case of your first instincts are best.

Well said, ajax2.
"Mark Halperin is just another disgusting puke in the MSM cesspool. Mr. Halperin uses that familiar dodge of a bully/coward with 'I didn't say it', I'm just repeating it."

Favorite right wing tool is to introduce a slander under someone else's name,
Halperin sucks, that's from me directly.

OMG, how in the world could our other female candidate - John Edwards - get away with calling anyone a "pussy."

DO NOT EVEN THINK TO ANALYZE, CRITICIZE, OR EVEN QUESTION THE GREAT AND ALL KNOWING OBAMA!!!FOR IF YOU DO HIS ARMY OF MINIONS WILL CRUSH YOU!!!

I watch Halperin on Charlie Rose all the time, and the first time I saw him he struck me as slime.

The question really is on what does Halperin base his comment.
In other words, is it accurate?
You remember the good old days when reporters were supposed to have substantiation for what they said or attributed to others?

The ObamaBots have turned on Edwards now because he actually dared to be critical of the Supreme Being. Do you people believe in anything except hate? That's why you turn off all the other voters. You are so vicious and dumb that even if Obama wins the nomination he could lose the General Election in the fall because no one wants to be associated with voting for the nominee that you morons support.
