gawd.........
will someone ask her why her own huffingtonpost is so one sided?
will someone point out the hypocracy of her book?
ain't that like the pot calling the kettle black?

a whole industry of pro-hillary blogs have popped up since the true
color of huffpo started showing in her editors and moderators.
out of habit, i just come here to laugh at the obamapost.
Check out Bill and prayer article....1700 responses of "God damn Bill."
wow, now where did the obamanation learn that kind of language?

As mentioned on another occasion, being on the "left" and on the "right" means, what else, being on the left or on the right of the truth. Any farther left though and the huffingtonpost will be "far East left", which is another name for China.

When you are so far from the truth, as the huff is, they cannot avoid contradicting themselves every single minute. What a waste of time and money, and she has both. She does not have though what it takes to help this country and its people help themselves.

Arianna must be on the Obama payroll. It's embarrasing how slanted her coverage is; how many unflattering photos she and her staff can publish online of Sen. Clinton, who is a very attractive woman. Shame on you Arianna. You know how that feels.
And what's the deal on the woman/man ratio invited to post blogs on the home page?

Brilliant analogies; Arianna has the same common sense -truthful- and just approach, as Barack..

Saw Ariana on Charlie Rose but missed the CNN interveiw.

Did she say anything about "Bittergate" and HuffPost/MaynotsofairFouler role in advancing the "Obama Elitist Myth" that is driving wedge between him and older, less educated voters. Poll after poll show fallout damages.

Why did HuffPost--rather than sensationalizing an offhand remark into a yellow Journalism GOTCHA- not play Fowler's tape to Obama directly and get his comment BEFORE blasting it all over the web? Why was the SF audience characterized/caricatured as Snob Hill--when it was Not!? Where are the quotes/reactions from other people who heard the remarks, and why hasn't HuffPost done more to protect the integrity of its own story?

Ironical that HuffPost, however inadvertently, STARTED Bittergate, using tactics right out of her Right is Wrong playbook. The story is causing Wreckless Endangerment to the Obama campaign, the Democratic Party, and ultimately our whole country who got sucked into the Black Hole of Bittergate and giving fig leaves to racists nationwide. The only Huff defense I have heard is that Camp Obama did not complain. Well, duh. They are too classy to Whine; so that makes it alright to speciously trash his candidacy? Maybe this would have been handled differently had Ariana not been out of the country the week this story broke. Guess we'll never know. The damages are still unwinding. Bummer.

I wish Arianna was on the MSM shows more often as a political commentator. Good job.

I agree. She's right on the mark on a number of issues. Still, a personal pet peeve is the accent, in the same vein as Henry K. It's a bit annoying, but not nearly as much as the mental midgets she has to talk with, doing what the puppeteers above them are pulling. Please keep the interviews coming on Huff post, since I don't watch the TV news. (unless you consider the "Weather Channel" news)

Daer Juangault,

Arriana's accent is annoying? How can anyone be so petty or close minded. Is this what you judge people on, their accents?

What else annoys you, her lipstick color?

Schwarzenneger must make you crazy? LOL

IF HILLARY CLINTON WIN INDIANA ITS BECAUSE A REPUBLICAN VOTED FOR HER ARIANNA DID A GREAT JOB ON CNN

I think there may be only one way to save the race for the democrats.

They need to let the voters of Florida and Michigan have a re-do that counts. It's time to stop the stupid decision to disinfanchise the voters of Michigan and Florida and give them the chance to show that Obama is losing popular support and cannot win the election.

The super delegates probably wouldn't have much of a choice, they would have to admit Obama is falling apart and they need to give it to the only one of the two that has a chance of winning now, Hillary.

Now is the time for Dean to stand forward and REALLY lead, bring on Michigan and Florida....let the VOTERS lead the way.

Obama is not falling apart! He's come out of seven terreable weeks and still standing tall, and he's being hit every night from Fosx an Nsnbc on Revl. wright while preciouse hillary has a free ride on the peter paul vs clinton court trial! Nobody wants her, and they wish they could end it. but no one wants to be called a Judas and worse and are holding off to put a end to her! She can't make it with out the black vote and she has polarized that group who will not vote for her. Hey Im white and I won't vote for her.

[Stevelagain]

Even though Obama has declared that the average white person is racist and his pastor is clearly a racist bigot that Obama has been FORCED to denounce......I don't see this as a race issue.

How about if we give the voters in Michigan and Florida that Obama and his lawyers worked hard to keep suppressed a chance to vote? In my opinion, they might just save the party from disaster.

Barack is back!
He gave a very good speech at the JJ dinner in NC. Negative campaiging is really not his thing. MSM does not like the big speeches, but I do. I'm fired up, ready to go.

Let Barack be Barack!

I wish Arianna went back to writing books about art. I loved her book on Picasso.

This is off topic - I was just watching the Jefferson Jackson Dinner on Cspan in North Carolina. The Hillary supporters are so ignorant. Hillary went first and after Hillary left, her supporters left. Cspan kept showing the empty seats. Those are the kinds of ignorant things that divide people.

Why does this not surprise me! Hillary's supporters are just as ignorant as she is. I really hope that this nomination is wrapped up soon. I am really getting tired of Hillary and her supporters!

[tess08]

03:26 AM on 05/05/2008

the supporters are truly ignorant, but unfortunately Hilary is not, she's a cunning, scheming political manipulator who will do absolutely anything to win.

Do you think Arianna is getting enough face-time here on HuffPo? Has she been feeling neglected lately?

Dear Irons,

ARIANNA IS PROMOTING HER BOOK. LIGHTEN UP. IT"S CALLED BOOK PROMOTION NOT FEELING NEGLECTED.
