1. Awww...poor wittle baby...

[DemGa]

11. They use that EXACT phrasing

at Freeperville. I mean exactly.

[JackORoses]

17. how much time do you spend in Freeperville?

I didn't know that you could patent phrasing.

[onehandle]

19. DU = Free Republic. nt

[in_cog_ni_to]

21. They do, don't they.

:eyes: Gee...we haven't been invaded or anything, have we?:eyes:

[jasmine621]

58. She had a coughing spell that took minutes to stop. You folks are sick

SICK. When the real story comes out you will look like the shitheads you are.

[calmblueocean]

29. God, if you want to act like that, would you take the Obama logo off your sig? It makes us look bad.

I'm tired being lumped in with people who insult our candidates.

[rodeodance]

41. i did a belly laugh with your comment. And thank you.

[Bongo Prophet]

43. Stop being such a dick.

It was a sincere moment.
A non-issue.

You are disrupting poorly, y'know?

[LittleClarkie]

54. She was coughing

haven't you ever had a coughing jag?

[mikelgb]

2. I hate her charlie brown suit

[Bucky]

45. So, you want her to campaign naked?

But I understand where you're coming from. I was gonna vote for Obama until I saw how wide his lapels are. Who the hell wears lapels that wide anymore? Clearly the man is unqualified to be president.

[mikelgb]

57. she has plenty of of other perfectly fine outfits

[Thrill]

3. Interesting........Another tear on the Eve of a Primary

She'll do anything

[Stand and Fight]

4. Link please...

There may be more to this than what the caption is saying. Either way, I don't have the slightest problem with her tearing up or crying.

[propol]

9. here's one

[Stand and Fight]

12. Thanks so much. n/t

[sellitman]

62. With 77 posts in one day I hope Obama is paying you well.

You do realize that your hit pieces make people sympathize with Clinton not your Employer.

[Bongo Prophet]

48. There is nothing wrong with it at all - here is video link.

I am non-aligned - basing on policy PLUS how they run their campaigns - so I have until March 5 (tx)
This faux outrage is both childish and petty - and manipulated by nefarious assholes coming here to cause trouble.
Not too hard to recognize.

The "they are a cult" and "they are old, uneducated women" bullshit is divisive and stupid - and does Karl's bidding for him.
You are wise to seek evidence before judging.

[TexasObserver]

5. she only cries when it's for Hillary

4000 dead soldiers
1 million dead Iraqis

loathesome

[maddiejoan]

13. and you know this how?

Are you around Hillary 24-7?

[JackORoses]

23. do you not find it strange that the only times you have ever seen Hillary cry are on Primary's Eve?

fool me once, shame on me
fool me twice...

I know you love her dearly, but does this not raise the slightest doubt in your mind as to her authenticity?

[maddiejoan]

26. I find it strange

That the media is trying to gun for her with this non-event, and I think it's disgusting and yes --SEXIST-- that portraying a woman tearing up at the praising words of her mentor from 35 years ago
is somehow a calculated move on her part.

But hey --watch the video of the 'event'.

To call this "crying' is patently absurd.

[JackORoses]

38. you didn't say whether you have ever seen another instance of Hillary crying in public.

not even at the height of impeachment did we see this.

[maddiejoan]

49. Dunno

I've never seen her cry ever.

and neither have you.

[JackORoses]

51. you know that it is her people who are pushing this story again, don't you?

do the ends justify the means?

is a manipulated vote more important than an informed voter?

[maddiejoan]

63. I don't even know where to start with you.

So I won't.

[alstephenson]

16. How do you know?

What's loathesome is the absolute pettiness some DUers let themselves be drawn into.

[sunonmars]

6. come on, she was being praised by her mentors. I'd be crying too.

[JackORoses]

14. Hillary knows what day it is. This is no spontaneous occurance.

Ever heard of the Boy who cried Wolf?

[sfam]

7. Its amazing that anyone can watch the video and still think this is worth talking about...

And yes, I'm a die-hard Obama supporter. Truly, give it a rest already.

[shayes51]

8. Beautiful pictures of a beautiful person.

[robbedvoter]

10. Please keep it up! I just gote 2 undecideds to vote tomorrow!

P.S. beautiful photos - I put them on my blog!

[grantcart]

15. second time is going to have an impact.

I am for Obama but I wish this didn't happen -its not going to be good for Hillary.

[sfam]

22. Um, NOTHING happened. How will this have an impact? and yes, I support Obama

Truly, watch the frickin video - there is simply nothing worth reporting. This is MSM manufactured nonsense that is only here because the cable networks need something to talk about for the next 24 hours.

[grantcart]

28. i agree that nothing happened that doesn't mean that it

won't have an impact. Unless I am wrong those AP photos will be on the front page of a lot of papers tomorrow morning.

Muskie didn't cry, brushed of some snow and we know where that ended up.

If it was the first time some people would be sympathetic the second time I think most people are going to be cynical

I agree with you that it sucks.

When it happens to me the more I try and stop it the worse it gets!!!


Not only that consider the schedule all of the candidates are under and how little sleep they get its fucking amazing that you don't see a lot more signs of weariness.

[sfam]

34. These photos will die the moment there is real news to report

Truly, this ain't goin that far. I can't imagine a single vote changes because of this.

[grantcart]

37. they will be on the front page of almost every newspaper in the nation

above the fold for one simple reason. It will sell newspapers.

[sfam]

44. What a rediculous thing to hope for...and it won't happen..

Perhaps a rag like NY Post, but certainly nothing else.

[grantcart]

52. obviously you have problems with reading comprehension.

I was deploring it. Nobody will be happier if I am wrong.

[propol]

50. just spell the name right an old publicist said...

it will probably get more attention for the campaign

[propol]

39. agreed

I don't like campaigning like this at all.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

18. Anyone here wear contacts 16 hours a day in dry Winter air?

[JackORoses]

24. drat, so this was just a case of chronic dry eyes? where is Ben Stein when you need him?

[THUNDER HANDS]

20. any truth to the rumor

that her campaign manager carries pepper spray in his pocket the day before primaries?

[Sarah Ibarruri]

25. She's yawning and sleepy. Not crying. Why must we hyper-analyze human beings' faces?

Sheesh.

[Windy]

27. Oh for christ sakes. This is just beyond ridiculous.

I would like to believe its not contrived but the pattern is a bit too striking.

My god...

[Beausoir]

30. She had a coughing spasm.

[maddiejoan]

31. Here's the effing video of it.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/22993295#22993295

watch it.

It's a big freakin' nothing.

[Scriptor Ignotus]

40. agreed. - eom

[JVS]

32. zOMG she's sucking her thumb in pic #3

[Renew Deal]

33. Wow, she's actually crying this time.

:wtf:

[thereismore]

35. Is she yawning in #3? Looks out of sequence. nt

[Beausoir]

36. She's coughing. She had a coughing spasm and had to get a cough drop.

[HopeforChange]

42. Cmon People Give Her a Break. She's allowed to be human

Keep bashing her and she will get the sympathy vote.

I am an Obama Supporter but I applaud Hillary for trying to make a difference.

It is not easy to run and be bashed.

Both our candidates deserve to be respected for stepping forward and making all the personal sacrifices.

[Marie26]

46. The media is trying to create

another "crying" controversy? I'm sorry, the way the media is doing everything to try to make Clinton look bad just makes me support her more.

[Catherine Vincent]

47. You can tell she had a coughing attack.

Some of you are idiots.

[RedEarth]

53. She got choked on a pretzel and started coughing... no big deal

......... actually, she is losing her voice and started coughing........... again, no big deal

[ElsewheresDaughter]

55. seems to me to be all the new obama supporters on DU are the ones sprewing hate

[busymom]

56. She had a coughing fit

She couldn't stop coughing and even asked for a throat lozenge....duh...see picture #3.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

59. the poor woman has a cold!

[Nimrod2005]

60. Dumb dumb dumb....

[TexasObserver]

61. Another Staged Producton from Bitter Tears, LLC

Staged. Complete with all cameras on Hillary, instead of the speaker. Yeah, I believe that.
