I caught right wingers posting false quotes from Michelle Obama

[NJmaverick]

They took her statement:

"For the first time in my adult life I am REALLY proud of my Country"


and changed it to:

"For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my Country"


In fact videos of her speech have been crudely editted to make the word "really" more difficult to hear. This is exactly the sort of immoral sick political BS, that I hate. In fact it's safe to say people engaging in politics, such as this, would make people less than REALLY proud of our Country.

[griffi94]

1. so her exact quote is

"For the first time in my adult life I am REALLY proud of my country"


so she wasn't really proud before....she was just faking it huh.....arrogant much lol

[thevoiceofreason]

2. Yo. "really" = "very"

[NJmaverick]

4. You must be a Clinton supporter, since you don't seem to care

about the truth. You seem more concerned about spin.

[griffi94]

13. so what part of her statement

should i disregard as untrue....she said that for the first time in her adult life she is really proud of her country......that's what she SAID not what i'm trying to spin....it would seem that she hasn't ever benn very proud of country before now.....just go have some more refreshing kool aid :rofl:

[NJmaverick]

16. The part where you and the republican attack machine

edit out words. That part

[griffi94]

20. so she didn't say

for the first time in my adult life i'm really proud of my country....she didn't say that....

[NJmaverick]

23. She didn't say

"for the first time in my adult life I'm proud of my Country"

That is what Clinton's camp and the Republican attack machine is reporting. It's false and it's a disgusting tactic.

[griffi94]

26. well i guess

disgusting is in the eye of the disgusted....because ......i find the statement she made pretty disgusting whether or not she said REALLY or not. i understand she was trying to fire up the crowd...but imo that's over the line

[NJmaverick]

28. Like I said, as a Clinton supporter you can't value truth

and ethics all that much.

[griffi94]

33. like somebody else posted

words matter....she screwed up....admit it and go on to something else....

[NJmaverick]

36. Screwed up is an OPINION

it's not a fact, you need to learn your fundamentals. As an opinion, I don't have to "admit" it. If it were a "fact", that would be a different story.

[mkultra]

18. dont know about you

But i haven't been REALLY proud of my country in a long time.


If im arrogant, your an idiot.

[griffi94]

24. right

i think she stepped in it by not thinking before she spoke..... and because i won't drink the obama kool aid and i take her at her word as opposed to trying to devine what she really really meant.... i'm an idiot....:rofl:

[mkultra]

35. well, i think your probably and idiot

Because you where born that way. As for KoolAid, its hard to make out what your saying, sounds like you need to swallow.

[maximusveritas]

3. The fact that they tried to edit out the "really" is despicable

They knew it wasn't controversial with the "really" part in there, so they edited it out to make it sound bad.

Here is the unedited version:

5. It's sad to see the Republican attack machine working hand in hand

with the Clinton people.

[conscious evolution]

31. What else did you expect

from a DLC candidate?
Always remember that the DLC is the Democratic wing of the republican party.

[NJmaverick]

8. Thanks for providing further proof of the deliberate deception

There are some really sick and immoral people out there. Do anything for political power.

[MethuenProgressive]

6. "my adult like"?

She's adult-like?

[griffi94]

17. she's gonna be

toast like if the obama campaign can't get her to think before she speaks....man what a snafu....but i'm sure all of obamas crossover repub support will give her a pass and vote for him in nov....

[sniffa]

7. Amazing. I caught DUers doing that too.

This must be a bipartisan problem.

[NJmaverick]

15. Yeah I am sure it was just an "honest" mistake

Sad to see DUers going over to the dark side.

[jillan]

9. The thing is, is that alot of people are really proud of our country - with the exception of the

last 8 years.

Maybe she could have said - for the first time in 8 years I am really proud of my country.

[juajen]

25. No, she couldn't say that. That would be admitting that

she was proud of the Clinton years. That's the reason for the ambiguity.

[Renew Deal]

10. Yup, seen it here too.

No surprise.

[NJmaverick]

19. If someone told you a year ago

You would see Democrats Swift Boating and lying about a Democratic candidate would you have been shocked?

[Renew Deal]

21. Only if they told me it wasn't Hillary doing it.

:wow:

[griffi94]

29. no i wouldn't have been shocked

we always seem to do this remember how democrats switched to vote for nader...because gore wasn't any different than bush.....

[Freida5]

11. "Just words"

[Window]

12. Boy, these people are so damned desperate.

I have always said as an Obama supporter, I would vote for Hillary if she won the nom.

However, if she wins by going after Obama's pledged delegates, that will do it for me. I will stay home on election day.

As far as all of the crap about Michelle's speech, "...for the first time in my adult life, I am REALLY proud of my country," -- well, it's just more of the same bullshit by frightened Hillary supporters who are afraid this thing is slipping away from them.


Peace:thumbsup:

14. You think the "really" makes any difference?

I am not saying this is accurate, but the Boston Herald is skipping that really, too:

http://news.bostonherald.com/news/2008/view.bg?articleid=1074519

“Hope is making a comeback and, let me tell you, for the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country. Not just because Barack is doing well, but I think people are hungry for change,” she said during a rally in downtown Milwaukee.



That's the quote. Frankly, I don't think it was the swiftest thing to say. It doesn't 'really' matter now, it might matter later.

I mean, how the hell old is she? Since she's turned eighteen, she hasn't seen a single thing to be proud of about America? EVER? Space Shuttle? Olympics? Toni Morrison winning the Nobel Prize? The long and honorable career of Thurgood Marshall? :shrug:

It comes off as a bit negative--I imagine, though, she didn't mean it that way, her intent was no doubt to register her delight at her husband's achievements.

That said--I don't think it's a big deal. It was just not the most "politic" thing to say. IMO. 'Really.'

[NJmaverick]

22. It made enough of a difference that the anti Obama people

edited their quotes of her and when to the trouble of obscuring it on the videos of her speech. They wouldn't have gone to that much effort if they didn't think that way.

[MADem]

27. Well, the Boston Herald doesn't like her either, apparently because they did the same thing.

Of course, they endorsed McCain (surprise, surprise) so I guess they're uninterested in portraying her in an accurate light.

[NJmaverick]

30. Well I am sure they will run a page 100 correction

In a few days, after the damage is done.

[Freddie Stubbs]

32. Perhaps Devall Patrick wrote the quotes for them

;)

[CyberPieHole]

34. But how does she REALLY feel?

She's never been REALLY proud of her country before?
