UPDATED: Hillary Jabs At NPR Host: 'You Are Playing With My Words' On Gay Marriage [View all] DonViejo Jun 2014 OP

Sounding snippish with Terry Gross is unfortunate. peacebird Jun 2014 #1

that is the real Hilary. ChairmanAgnostic Jun 2014 #13

This is why I don't think she can get elected if she does run. She just isn't Purveyor Jun 2014 #33

Unpleasant Sienna86 Jun 2014 #44

she has to be likable to the barest of majorities heaven05 Jun 2014 #69

Hillary's "likable enough," as Obama would say; she just doesn't know how to relate to people, which makes her a less than an ideal candidate. Gimme Elizabeth! InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2014 #74

She is, unfortunately, supporting Clinton. nt awoke_in_2003 Jun 2014 #84

Supporting Hillary in running is not mutually exclusive to her running as well. All she said is she's not currently running . . . InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2014 #86

How do you support someone....and then run AGAINST them....that IS mutually exclusive... VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #153

Not at all. You can support someone's running AND believe you are more qualified to run and give people a choice to decide for themselves ... InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2014 #157

she didn't couch the statement with "running" as you did..... VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #159

Tell that to Obama; he said "NO" to running for President around the same time before the 2008 election as Elizabeth, and we know how that turned out... InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2014 #162

so when did Barack Obama and Elizabeth Warren become the same person? VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #172

No one's disputing wat Elizabeth said-Im sure she's VERY sure (4 now) she's not running. Notice tho she didn't say "I will NEVER run in 2016". InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2014 #173

she is not couching the statement...that is YOU putting words in her mouth... VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #174

Cudnt agree more; Elizabeth is, w/o a doubt, THE most sure-footed woman in politics today which is why she didn't say she would NEVER run... InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2014 #175

which is why you should believe her...she is getting P.O'd about people focussing on this issue VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #177

Elizabeth Warren, bein the wise, masterful politician she is, is not going 2 crumble 2 pressure & be annoyed into running, as you suggest, or doin anything else for that matter. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2014 #179

not even to your unmitigating power to annoy! VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #181

Peace be with you InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2014 #183

Yeah, that's why she got almost 18M votes the last time she ran. Beacool Jun 2014 #111

LOL eom BlueMTexpat Jun 2014 #125

Yep, and all are experts on Hillary. juajen Jun 2014 #143

snippish azureblue Jun 2014 #90

I am a woman, and not a sexist. My choice of adjective was based on her tone in the interview. peacebird Jun 2014 #92

Bullshit Evergreen Emerald Jun 2014 #106

Right bach at'cha. I am a strong woman, and I say snippish describes her tone. peacebird Jun 2014 #130

Have you ever described a man as snippy? Evergreen Emerald Jun 2014 #132

Remember 2000? Gore said that to Bush. Reporting from the NY Times Magazine: 24601 Jun 2014 #150

Yes, I described Mittens as bing snippy peacebird Jun 2014 #189

Gross asked a fair question. /nt Ash_F Jun 2014 #152

I have to say that Gross would not let it go . . . brush Jun 2014 #180

Oh boy your in trouble now. Last time snippy was used in an election it was Gore saying it to Bush Exultant Democracy Jun 2014 #184

"Snippish" for a woman to stand up for herself Evergreen Emerald Jun 2014 #105

Don't you know? It's the new "uppity". Beacool Jun 2014 #118

Again, NOT EVERY DESCRIPTION IS RELATED TO RACE OR GENDER. Sometimes snippy is just snippy peacebird Jun 2014 #131

The sexist descriptons are related to gender. Evergreen Emerald Jun 2014 #134

This......... Beacool Jun 2014 #139

Gore to Bush 2000 "'There's no need to get snippy about it," Found one easy. Exultant Democracy Jun 2014 #185

It is sexist. Ugly. And an attempt to minimize her. Evergreen Emerald Jun 2014 #186

First off I found an example easily disproving your thesis. Are you saying Gore was being sexist? Exultant Democracy Jun 2014 #187

Thought the same thing. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2014 #158

That's kind of the same Delphinus Jun 2014 #160

Should have repeated the Benghazi comment: what difference does it make? question everything Jun 2014 #2

It could matter. If she evolved along the same lines of the US Population, probably not a big 24601 Jun 2014 #31

Yeah, but Obama was for marriage equality, then against it, then for it again. When asked about this Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #81

All I know is he wrote a piece in favor of same-sex unions way back in 1996. nomorenomore08 Jun 2014 #170

I agree. A better question would be what she did on the issue as senator. yurbud Jun 2014 #46

I'd be curious to know what she thought customerserviceguy Jun 2014 #79

I don't think that as a senator she would have done anything question everything Jun 2014 #96

After reading the story IMO it's a non-event groundloop Jun 2014 #3

It is a big event because it demonstrates Hillary's huge problem. JDPriestly Jun 2014 #14

Yes, campaigns need to be forward looking. For whatever reasons, Hillary's ability to look to the future is seriously hampered. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2014 #76

Elizabeth Warren will run if she has the support and feels she can win for Democrats. JDPriestly Jun 2014 #25

I beg to differ: Elizabeth WILL run if the grassroots DEMAND that she run. The momentum is already starting to build and we're well over 2 yrs out. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2014 #80

Hillary has also said she was finished with elected office. nt 7962 Jun 2014 #91
