Our "Working Class" Press

Thank you. It IS unnerving to say the least. Seeing some of the world does not make one knowledgeable or sympathetic. For some journalist to say how the working class is supposed to respond is just silly. Like they understand the wc better than Bruce Sprinsteen.

Clinton Backer Distributes Essay On How GOP Would Link Obama To '70s Radicals

How positively benevolent of HRC to offer this material. I don't get how Obama is responsible for ppl doing stuff when he is a child and not even on the mainland USA (either Hawaii or Indonesia). Are we supposed to believe he got tight with these folks when he was older and yet they were the same? What disingenuous crap. Thanks for giving Rove and company more ideas, though I would suppose the good part is some early innoculation. posted 04/19/2008 at 10:24:30

Hillary Clinton Slams MoveOn With Karl Rove's Lies

Jumping ship on progressive Dems? What are you talking about? Were they supposed to deny that about 7 out of 10 of their own members voted to support Obama? So, is it a mistake to actually listen to your own members? Anyone who doesn't support HRC isn't worthy of being listened to? posted 04/18/2008 at 20:45:23

Awesome post. I hope your son stays safe the story overall has some bright days ahead for you. You've been thru a lot. I don't get these stoopid pundits on this point, either. Did they never listen to a Bruce Springsteen song or Billy Joel's "Allentown"? Sheesh. posted 04/18/2008 at 18:15:51

Clinton Slams Democratic Activists At Private Fundraiser

Laughable. Obama was already winning when they polled their own membership. She might have won if Edwards and Obama had split supporters. But there were only two candidates left. MoveOn has hardly carried Obama. His org was simply better than your candidate. posted 04/19/2008 at 11:55:37

Either way, how does HRC think she can win if she continues to alienate possible voters. Has she a corner on the market of a Diebold swindle or what?

They didn't "decide." And you lie if you suggest that MoveOn's leadership made some sort of arbitrary decision. They asked members to vote and Obama got around 7 out of 10 votes, if I remember correctly. Could you name me one "anti-Hillary" email? posted 04/18/2008 at 19:41:57

Yep. Over Monicagate. It's possible someone from moveon didn't ID themselves as such. I don't do that, for sure, posted 04/18/2008 at 19:37:11

She is good at doing that. Bully SDs. Try to intimidate Obama supporters. Lodge all sorts of ridiculous charges and tell tall tales about yourself. She is hardly making a case for herself. But somehow that is Obama's fault, huh? posted 04/18/2008 at 19:13:52

This is HILLARIOUS in a HIDEOUS sort of way, given one TX caucus goer referred to incidents of HRC supporters attempting to intimidate Obama supporters. More disinformation of accusing the opponent of tactist your own ppl use (classic Rove, too).

Funny she would attack MoveOn given its origin as an organization that saw the stooopidity of the Lewinsky thing and the waste of valuable time on it as a distraction.

I am proud to say I contribute to MoveOn. I am proud to say that I have sent money directly to Obama (who did not need MoveOn to raise funds). It's a wonder HRC's ppl didn't call MoveOn a bunch of Judases for "turning" on her. in truth, MoveOn held a poll of its members and Obama won by a substantial margin, hence the organization came out in support of Obama.

Seems to me HRC has a problem with any group or state that doesn't vote for HRH. Well, sorry, but HRH you ae not entitled to be elected. It's an election, remember? We don't have a monarchy. posted 04/18/2008 at 19:09:30

Robert Reich's Endorsement -- No Big Deal

Obama's Female Superdelegates Find Their "Sisterhood" Questioned

I gotta wonder about those areas where Obama didn't receive a sngle vote. Pretty suspicious. If I was a resident of said district and knew this was fraud, I'd ensure two things: 1) that the system of voting was reformed; and 2) I'd never vote for HRC again. posted 04/19/2008 at 11:06:36

I've seen that. Indeed, it is almost always the HRC supporters who make disparaging remarks (e.g., Obamabots) and act like they're the victims. It's pretty disgusting and not more than a bit ironic but the irony is lost on them. posted 04/19/2008 at 11:01:47

Don't do that. I thought about this also and it made me very very sad. I felt a lot better when decided that, if I had to, I would write-in Obama's name.

Very well put. This is why I cannot stand some of the arguments made to support HRC. It is BECAUSE I'm a real feminist, not because I want a handout. posted 04/18/2008 at 10:39:21

This sense of "earning" the WH really annoys me. It's NOT an entitlement, as we've already seen. Those are the same kinds of ppl who supported the idiot we have now. No alternative monarchies and NO riding of a man's coattails strikes me as really breaking any "glass ceiling." I find the whole thing ridiculous and am proud to support Obama. Sure, I'd like to vote for a female candidate. But not HRC. If I have to, I'm writing Obama in come November. posted 04/18/2008 at 10:36:18

And what other merits of the argument are there? ID ppl want their idea taught as if it's science. It's not science. End of story. posted 04/18/2008 at 19:27:42

It seems to me it's kinda insulting to claim ID isn't faith, since historically speaking, fait is supposed to b more important than science (has a longer history as a subject and all "natural philosophy" was a branch of theology). These ID folks seem kinda bitter that science is definied in such a way that they cannot play and claim supremacy anymore so they want to change the definition of science, which is why scientists don't see this as worthy of debate. posted 04/18/2008 at 19:26:24

Exactly. And thus they cannot ever claim to be endorsing "science." There is no anecdotal evidence or that at best, but really is some kinda deductive thought with nothing as conclusive proof. posted 04/18/2008 at 11:57:01

That is AWESOME! I hope he sends it to Stein. I can't believe someone with a shred of intelligence (and I've seen "Win Ben Stein's Money") could assert something so asinine.

As far as I can tell Amanda is correct. Since you presume Hitler to be unacceptable to Catholics, how come Catholics were instructed to give their loyalty to him in the 1930s (helped by the future Pius XII).
