Although she has toned it down a bit in the last couple of weeks, I couldn't stand to watch her. She was almost as bad as Lanny Davis. Lanny and Bill just need to go away, far away for a long time.

Why is it that every time Hilary Rosen posts a diary she is attacked by some of Obama's supporters. People who support Clinton are not evil by default. Remember, around 17 million US voters have voted for her, thus far, and if you think that Democrats can win the White House without the support of Bill and Hillary Clinton, get your head checked.

I have no preference between Clinton and Obama. They would both be excellent Presidents--much better than McCain. I've been a little disappointed in the demonization of Hillary Clinton, her surrogates, and her supporters. Hopefully, time will heal these wounds in time for the GE. If not, we will have at least four years of McCain--not a thought that I enjoy.

Why is it contingent on Hillary and Bill Clinton......

Sen Obama has his own very high merits.

Are you saying the Clinton supporters are that selfish they would sacrifice this country out of revenge????


Sen Obama has almost....(49 more delegates to go)....secured the partys nomination­....Hillar­y needs 244 delegates

Hillary has already stated she would rally behind Sen Obama.......so whats the problem with all the Clinton supporters??? Is Hillary not a woman of her word??? We shall see, wont we.

sorry, my confidence level in her honesty is very low. Wishing she proves me wrong.

[sandman323]

I don't doubt at all that the Clintons will assist the Obama campaign in whatever way he wishes.

Where did I deny Obama's merits? Let me spell it out for you--I think that Barack Obama will be the Democratic nominee for President--I hope that he wins in the GE--I will be voting for Barack Obama in the GE--I feel that Barack Obama will be an outtstanding presiident.

My concern stems from the fact that Democrats will not only demonize Hillary Clinton, but her supporters as well. As much as some Obama supporters want to believe that the race between the two is a blowout, it's not.

More than 17 million voters have voted for HRC. We should respect those voters.

By the way, I am a long time Edwards supporter, not a Clinton or Obama supporter in the primary. As I wrote earlier, I will become an Obama supporter when he wraps up the nomination.

I have no love, lest respect, for Hillary Rosen. She is of RIAA and DMCA infamy. Do the research yourself.

[jpetaluma]

Hillary Rosen is a strong Clinton surrogate on the MSM. I know this site does not belong to the Obama supporters, but I'm just sayin. I hope Ms. Rosen will be a loyal Obama supporter when he is finally the Democratic nominee. Maybe she could do a post here to explain her support of Clinton. Is it because she was a part of Bill's administration?

[wolfi101]

I saw her do this on TV, and was disappointed at her choice of candidates to support... but even so, she was a good advocate for Hillary. If there had been more like her, instead of those calling 'sexism', 'racism', 'entitlement' --------- this nomination process would have been far closer.

( obama '08 )

[Massconfusion]

Did I read right? Hillary Rosen is former CEO of RIAA? The folks that routienly sue their customer base. Hunt down college students and drag them and their parents to court for payment of royalties to the music inudstry? Really! and she is a big shot here! Good thing the McCain "no lobbists" rules don't apply. The RIAA is not just abusive they are stupid and stuck selling a lousy product that they won't or can't change. Perfect fit for the Hillary campaign!

Arriana - please select your representatives a bit more carefully, you know...Vetted!

[wolfi101]

( FYI: They're not suing customers; They're suing thieves. )

[Oldbuck]

This link never did play out. But know who was on her name is Hillary also. I don't want grace in the process I want it to be fair and by the rules they agree upon the only fair way is if they must be seated split them 50/50 and be done with it. If it is not fair you can kiss the DNC good by. Why is it not right to do what everyone agree to.

[Pammy1151]

Did the link work for the rest of you???

[cyndeewi]

Not for me!

[wolfi101]

No ( but I saw it when it aired Live )

[fldem]

Maybe Hillary Rosen is a true democrat and wants what is really best for her country, rather than being a thin-skinned, paranoid Hillary C supporter who will stomp their feet and spit on the floor if they don't get their way.

[patmancando]

What I would like to know from HIllary Rosen is how can she be Hillary supporter and a political director of HuffPost and allow such bias toward Hillary Clinton be so blatant. That bias goes from posting the worse of their ugly Hillary pictures with each post about her to moderators deleting any post which logically lays out a reasonable argument against Sen. Obama. This web site has a dominance of Obamacrats who spew vitriol, venomous lies and hatred against the Clintons, outrageous comments whose only intent could be to destroy the Clintons. I am sickened by what I read here, but all that vitriol they spew at Hillary Clinton just goes to solidify the feelings of the Clinton supporters, those 50%+ who say they will not vote for Obama, which the DNC thinks will voe Democrat in the GE. The wounds created by the Obama campaign surrogates running a dirty campaign, the MSM and the Obamanuts' comments on biased web sites like Huffington Post.

If the moderators feel obliged to delete this post, which I admit is critical of HuffPost, please forward it on to Hillary Rosen

[Glacial]

I'd assume because the comments here are meant also to serve as an open forum where all viewpoints can be heard, not just ones that are inoffensive to staff's political leanings. I'd like to think McCain supporters would be welcome to add comments here.

Can't much sing the praises of democracy while at the same time censoring everything that pisses you off, right? That's the GOP's job.

[Gatling]

Hillary Clinton's campaign has created wounds also, although many of her supporters will deny it outright.

That being said, Senator Clinton is still seeking to be the nominee, and she has a fair shot. IF she gets the nod, you would do well to remember the OTHER 50+%, who she will have to win over after such a deceptive, divisive campaign.

All these threats to vote for McCain may well backfire on your chosen candidate.

[cyndeewi]

Gatling,

It is fine to make Hillary Supporters feel good, but she does not have a shot in heck to get this nomination for 2008 unless something tragic happens to Obama. I am hoping that her words do not prove true.

ugly pictures and deleting posts

wow....life is tough. First of all, you might admit that Hillary isnt looking that good these days, and second, I seriously doubt any posts are being deleted...­.seriously­.....I wonder what the writer is basing this on.

My complaint.....Wolf Blitzer...­shudder...­..blatantl­y looking for something to pin on Obama...a few moments ago, he opined that he "thinks so too" on the subject that Barak should have mentioned military service along with public service in the commencement address yesterday. Who cares what you think Wolfe? Are you a journalist or a commentator? Did you "think" that public service is a worthy issue at all? I assume you werent that impressed or you would have said so. I really am struck by his choice of responses which range from "I think so too" all the way down to a dismissive "mmmm" when he doesnt like something. If he werent posing as a news anchor, I wouldnt say anything.

[apoyo]

What gets under my skin is when he says "What is going on?"

How many years did he serve in the military or in any other capacity of public service?

[Boris]

I think Wolf was hoping Obama would suggest military service to Israel.

[spindr]

That's right patmancando, and the Clinton Campaign has been as pure as the driven snow.

If anything, the media is covering for Clinton by failing to call her out for the ludicrous arguments she and her surrogates continue to put forward. They are never to blame, they are never at fault.

She wouldn't be in this mess if she had held her campaign to the same degree of decency as Obama. Unfortunately for her, she has not and she will not.

No patmancando, she has done this all by herself and must live with the consequences.

What Bartcop said

Can we get a list of words that Hillary can say without the whore media throwing a hissy and cranking up the echo chamber for a 56-hour hate rush on MSGOP?

No.

And:

Barack also said there was “no place for that in this campaign,” but, of course, he couldn’t say what “that” was, because the Clintons’ crimes are always undefinable.
