HuffPost's Pick

It's kind of funny hearing all the people criticize HuffPo for being an all- Obama sight. If you go over to Taylor Marsh's blog, the whole thing is 100% Obama bashing and Clinton apologist. At least on HuffPo alternative ideas are posted and dissent is welcome. Don't get me wrong, there are jerks on both sides, but at least there is more than one side tolerated.

In Hillary's defense, during the closing notes on the news clip, the news anchor says that she was the first First Lady to visit a "hostile war zone".

Hillary is on video in a recent speech describing her harrowing trip, the sniper fire, the cancellation of the welcoming ceremony, and running for cover with heads down. Why isn't it being run 24-7 on the networks with the video of her smiling and receiving flowers from the little gril AT THE WELCOMING CEREMONY? The Washington Post fact checker called rated this on four Pinnochios = a Whopper.

I spoke to my mother on the phone this morning. She considers herself to be fairly "news savy," reads the paper in the morning, watches the evening news every day. She's heard not one word of this story. She also didn't see Obama's "Perfect Union" speech. Not a word of it. But those clips that were looped over and over again? She's seen them a gazillion times ...

So I guess if your post is Pro Clinton it won't get posted!!!!!!

YUP. THATS THE WAY HUFFPOST WORKS.

No, the thing is acting screwy. Why would they censor pro-clinton comments, but let your comment saying that they were censors through?

Are we to believe that the Clintons are so irresponsible that they would take their only child into a dangerous war zone first of all, and even if they were that crazy,would have her there without a protection vest?

Maybe that 3AM call was a wrong number. LOL

.....unlike Cheney and Bush, two chickenhawks that sent brave young warriors to their deaths for no reason. Many of the dead have found peace that the 40,000 severely wounded Americans will never know. How quickly we forget the millions of Iraqi lives destroyed by these chickenhawks, by death, dismemberment, torture and forced dislocation.

Thanks to Clinton, she helped these chicken hawks by voting to authorize this war. She passed the "Commander-in-chief" test in my book!

There are numerous scandals involving the Clintons from their time in Arkansas and in the White House. Regardless of whether you believe the Clintons are culpable in whole or in part, or you believe this was all caused by a vast right wing conspiracy, it is NOT Senator Obama's fault.

favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 04:18 PM on 03/24/2008

Senator Obama is NOT Rush Limbaugh. Rush Limbaugh is Rush Limbaugh and he is currently doing everything he can to bloody up Senator Obama by asking his self-labelled "ditto heads" to cross party lines and vote for Senator Clinton. If you don't believe me, listen to his radio talk show.

Senator Obama is NOT Ken Starr. Ken Starr is Ken Starr and he is currently the Dean of Pepperdine's School of Law. He is not on Senator Obama's campaign.

More than half of us have not trusted Senator Clinton since 1994. Senator Clinton's 90's healthcare plan failed. This is NOT Senator Obama's fault.

Lies? Those were just little fibs and exaggerations. Obama is the liar. And no one is going to forget about him telling a blatent and intentional lie that he wasnt in church during Wright's hate sermons. They'll soon forget or wont care about Hillary's little fibs....but not Obama's big lies.

Even if he was there (btw you're just an idiot for presuming to know the location of a man I'd be willing to bet you didn't even know existed 6 years ago)j when will you get it through your thick heads (speaking to everyone of the similar viewpoint) that listening to another person speak does not mean you agree with him.

Blah blah Preacher blah blah. Get OVER it. Not every topic and issue regarding anything else by anyong else, has to be related back to this Preacher story. Get over it! It's like Tourettes with you people at this point.

Wrirht's sermons are on video,trust me if Obama was there during those sermons,it would have been all over CNN and Fox by now.

He hasn't been shown to be in church when Rev. Wright made the particular statements that have been shown in an endless loop. In fact, it has been shown that he was in another state. I guess this week the worm turns as we find out the whole context of the sermon from which a few sound-bites were taken. ...Turns out the Reverand's comment about "chickens comin' home to roost' were him quoting an ambassador the week after the tragedy of Sept. 11th. The sermon is actually quite poetic and beautiful:

You people are amazing. All you can talk about is a preacher preaching and preaching again. You people need to get a life. I wonder how many of your white friends have gathered in a group and discussed racial slurs.........Oh yeah, I forgot......you people are perfect and have never talked about a race or a president or an economy in a rude way.....Oh you are so perfect. Why don't you talk about your ideas in solving the homelessness in the U.S. or the housing situation, or the lack of jobs, or the high price of gasoline, or the Fed's current devaluating of our money, or the poor that can't find a job, or how the rich and Corporate America is skimming all of us for power. Grow up and get off a dumb sermon.

favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 04:22 PM on 03/24/2008

Senator Clinton lied about being under fire and you don't think the Republicans would have a field day with that one? I know some Republicans and I can tell you they are already having lots of fun with it. Also, 3 out of context snippets do not make a hate sermon-- have you any proof? Thought not.
