Has MO "clarified" her statement about not being proud of her country

[MoonRiver]

until BO started winning Democratic primaries?

I heard Bill Press say this morning that she needs to do that ASAP. Haven't seen any evidence that she has yet.

[bicentennial_baby]

1. Yeah, saw it on MSNBC today...

She was speaking in RI.

[MoonRiver]

8. What did she say?

I've been gone all day and really don't know!

[Avalux]

2. Sigh. She was on MSNBC today. Would you like her to publicly flagellate herself too?

This is getting a bit ridiculous. x(

[DJ13]

9. Im glad she didnt say something nice about Reagan

The Hillary supporters would NEVER shut up about it!
:crazy:

[NightWatcher]

3. holy fucking shit, beat that dead horse, go on beat it

and yes, she was on tv earlier, but cripes

[rocktivity]

14. One dead horse beating, coming right up!

rocknation

[elixir]

15. Sorry, just making sure I understand everyone - MO clarified her "really" statement in RI today...

What exactly did she say? Was it a positive comment or kind of "I said what I said, dig?!"

[Debi]

40. Yes, that is exaclty what she said "I said what I said, dig?!)

and then she and Barack went to the hood and jammed to Jay-Z '99 Problems' :eyes:

[Binka]

55. That Odious Poster Has Serious Issues

She just got a twofer from me an ignore and an alert.

[Debi]

70. Thank you!

:hi:

[JackORoses]

54. you are an even sorer loser than Hillary

more like a poison, than an elixir....

[Binka]

58. Alert Is Your Friend Jack

This shit needs to stop.

[MoonRiver]

17. What did she say?

As I posted above I've been working all day and don't know.

[cali]

24. You have google. Do your your own homework.

I certainly wouldn't dream of bothering to do it for you.

[MoonRiver]

28. Google what? Michelle Obama says.....????

The fact that you cannot produce a link is troubling, for your candidate.

Believe me, McCain is sharpening the long knives.

[cali]

42. Oh, I can provide a link

but I wouldn't do so for you, and I can't believe you can't even figure out how to google it. How sad.

[MoonRiver]

50. Someone else more dedicated than you provided one.

But it was pretty lame.

[rug]

30. She said she hasn't been really proud until she read her supporters' comments on DU.

[MoonRiver]

36. Lol

:D

[TwilightGardener]

4. I'm sure you're really "concerned". Only the Hillary folks seem to

"worry" about this non-issue.

[MoonRiver]

19. WHAT did she say?

At least give me a tiny clue!

[yardwork]

39. Not all of us. Some of us Hillary supporters are totally unconcerned.

This is just another stupid piece of right-wing b.s. trash and I don't know why anyone takes it seriously.

[MrRobotsHolyOrders]

5. Were you aware that Barack Obama is a Muslim?

If you're going to repeat garbage, you might as well do it with style.

[Araxen]

6. gotta love the desperate Hillobots!

=)

[Guava Jelly]

7. go away

and take your freeper fed propaganda with you

[MonkeyFunk]

37. The fact is she did clarify

http://www.bostonherald.com/news/2008/view.bg?articleid=1074894&srvc=rss


But you don't think it's an issue, even though now the McCain campaign has used it, Barack had to "clarify" and now Michelle has "clarified".

Sticking your fingers in your ears and pretending stuff like this doesn't exist may be gratifying, but it's naive.

She stepped in it, and now has to explain it. It could've easily been avoided by saying "I've never been more proud of my country..."

These are things she'll learn with experience.

[MoonRiver]

49. What is "freeper fed" propaganda?

Obviously I am not a freeper, for God's sake. :eyes: I understand that you would try to slime me that way, it's the usual pathetic attempt, but I don't get the "fed" part.

[MonkeyFunk]

53. Don't raise any issues

that could be uncomfortable for Obama supporters - they get a might touchy.

[MoonRiver]

57. I've noticed.

Do not remove head from sand. NEVER, EVER, EVER.

[Occam Bandage]

10. I've heard B. Hussein Obama doesn't put his hand over his heart for the Star-Spangled Banner.

Maybe you should look into that.

[sniffa]

13. and that's after the

GAY SEX COCAINE LIMO

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

16. Is that the same "GAY SEX COCAINE LIMO" where he likes to call his Al Qaeda buddies from? n/t

[sniffa]

18. Not quite

Al Queda is actually there filming it for their recruiting propaganda. It focused grouped well with their target audience.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

23. Is it for the "Jihadis Gone Wild" series? n/t

[sniffa]

29. That's exacty right

Instead of, "I want taco!" you can hear, loosely translated, "I want burqa!"

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

38. Hmm, that's wierd in the one I watched I could have sworn they said

"I want Falafel Pita". Or was that the Oreilly Factor's recruitment video? I can't remember.

[sniffa]

48. Hey, I said, "loosely translated"

But I think you're right - that's both what they say, and part of BOR's recruitment video.

[sniffa]

11. I think she plagiarized someone else's clarification

didn't see it, but that's the buzz around the internets.

[truebrit71]

12. Yeah, whateever you do, drop everythning and do as Bill Press says...

...NOT!!!

[MoonRiver]

22. Whatever. She apparently said SOMETHING, but nobody here knows what!

:eyes:

[yardwork]

20. This is embarrassing. Please drop it.

I say that as a Hillary supporter.

[MoonRiver]

25. Maybe you do not understand.

I have not heard what she said. I have been working hard all day. I just wanted some clarification about what she said. WHY is that so threatening?

[yardwork]

27. Oh really? I totally misunderstood the entire tone and purpose of your OP.

Please accept my apologies.

[liberalnurse]

21. Her message was loud and clear

the first time.

Can't never really turn back the clock and play like it didn't happen. I'm glad America got to see the real inner misery she must hide.

[yardwork]

26. I happen to agree with her, and I'm a Hillary supporter.

There's been damn little for me to be proud of in this country, especially lately. And I'm not miserable. In fact, I'm quite happy. Pretending to be a jingoistic "my country right or wrong" nationalist tool wouldn't contribute to my personal happiness at all.

In fact, I'd feel like a Republican if I acted like that.

Give it a rest.

[MoonRiver]

35. Just for clarification,

Bill Press stated that above all things he wants to beat McCain. He was very concerned that MO has not qualified, clarified her comment to make sure nobody thinks she is "anti-American." You can scoff at this all you want, but do you think McCain is going to miss any chance to demonize both BO and MO? It's going to get incredibly ugly out there once the Dem nomination is decided.

[yardwork]

45. Thank you for your concern. McCain will make shit up. It doesn't matter what we say.

They transformed John Kerry from a war hero into a malingering traitor and elevated the AWOL chimp to a war hero. The right wing machine will do anything - anything - they can to steal this election. They don't care about the truth. Michelle Obama is going to be smeared up one side and down the other if her husband is the nominee. They will smear whomever is the candidate and anyone the candidate has ever met. Look what they did to Theresa Kerry - and she had been a Republican!

Drudge made up a story about John Kerry having had an affair with an intern he'd never even met - and lots of people believed it.

It doesn't matter what any Democrat says or does. The right wing will lie lie lie. The Democrats have to fight back hard. I'm fighting back right here on DU by calling b.s. on this non-issue. If you are a Democrat you will do the same.

[MoonRiver]

52. By George, I think you've got it!

:applause: And, pssst, we don't want to hand them any ammunition that they can re-play on t.v. ads ad infinitum.

[sniffa]

31. I wish she was open about her inner misery long ago

Like you, she should embrace it, and spill it on DU.

[Guava Jelly]

33. I feel sad for people like you..The hatred must really eat at you.

C'mere :hugs: It'll be ok.

[frylock]

63. I'm glad America got to see the real inner misery she must hide.

maybe her husband is sleeping around. that would make anyone miserable.

[K Gardner]

67. Certainly nothing compared to your "inner misery". Which you don't hide, at all.

[MonkeyFunk]

32. yes

http://www.bostonherald.com/news/2008/view.bg?articleid=1074894&srvc=rss

[MoonRiver]

43. Pretty good, but sounded self-serving nevertheless.

I think he's going to get the nomination. But, once that happens, he is going to receive an assault the likes of which haven't been seen since, well, JK's swiftboating in 2004. It's business as usual with the Rethugs.

[MonkeyFunk]

47. Yep

The Big Lie will be that he's not sufficiently "American". This played right into that.

A lot of his supporters are in for a very rude awakening.

[high density]

34. How many of these MO threads do I need to ignore?

Infinity + 1 evidently.

[MonkeyFunk]

41. It's easier to pretend these issues don't exist

isn't it?

A little naive, though.

[frylock]

64. i guess that depends on what the definition of "isn't" is

[NoSheep]

44. LAst night I actually heard Tweety defend her! He said lots of folks have very high aspirations

for their country and feel we could do better. It was the first time I'd ever heard him say anything to defend someone "like us" by addressing why the comment makes sense.

[yardwork]

46. Tweety will let you down every time. Don't be fooled.

He's like a large parrot encouraging you to pet his head and then he'll bite you bad.

[NoSheep]

56. LOL! I really couldn't believe it was coming from his mouth...right after the spittle, of course.

:hi:

[yardwork]

73. LOL! The ever-present spittle, oh yes.

:hi:

[Moh96]

51. she did

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4686629

[Raine]

59. Yes...again & again apparently you

haven't been listening either that or you just like beating dead things. x(

[MoonRiver]

61. I had been working all day.

I'm not able to watch t.v. and surf the political blogs all day like some people.

[Raine]

62. I'm sorry for being snarky

I usually refrain from that. I probably have been on here too long.

[frylock]

65. it's hard work..

working hard all day.

[MoonRiver]

71. Well, I actually love my work, but that's just me!

Doesn't give me a lot of time to surf the blogs though. Sigh.

[frylock]

72. whether you love your job or hate your job..

people gotta work. peace!

[K Gardner]

69. In the time you've spent here baiting people with this flamer thread, you could have looked up

Bo and Mo twenty times and downloaded the video set of their Greatest Hits.

Got the answer you were looking for yet? BTW, I work too. And I know the answer !

[DefenseLawyer]

60. I was mad before, now I'm "REALLY" mad

Good Grief. It's not like she burned an American flag lapel pin. Alas, the Lee Greenwood vote is lost.

[zulchzulu]

66. What a pathetic attempt at trying to revive a dead horse of an issue

I'm convinced that anyone who brings up this non-issue is desperate, scared and willing to go the low road to somehow make people want to change their mind.

Michelle Obama doesn't have to"clarify" anything.

[bluedawg12]

68. Yes she did and did a great job. n/t
