Holy SHIT! Is that Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse sitting on the stage while HRC MOCKS Obama in her latest

[DesEtoiles]

desperate, pathetic rant!!?

She's dragging our best and brightest down with her. Shame on YOU, Hillary.

1. Nothing is as bad as Gov. Strickland looking like a pathetic yes man during her tantrum yesterday.

[TwilightGardener]

2. Yeah, the word "Bobblehead" will forever be attached to Strickland now.

[City Lights]

20. I noticed that. Couldn't she have her tantrum on her own? Why'd she need

him standing there with her?

[VolcanoJen]

24. Yep, I wrote an empassioned thread about Strickland yesterday.

As the poster below said, what an embarrassing bobblehead. How can you stand on a stage with her, nod your head while she says "Shame on you, Barack Obama!" while you're supposedly the Governor of the STATE of Ohio, and de facto leader of the STATE Democratic Party?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4728155

I'm still a little chafed over that, Ted.

[theHandpuppet]

71. Sorry, VolcanoJen, but you and I differ on this

There are active Governors and Senators all over the country stumping for candidates, even attacking the records of candidates. Why is it different because this time it's a governor taking his stand with Hillary Clinton? If elected representatives of states ought to keep their personal political preferences to themselves then by all means please tell Senators Kerry and Kennedy, as well as a number of Obama-supporting governors, to sit down and STFU. Strickland is a good governor, decent man, and one who has probably accomplished more for education, for the poor and unemployed in two years than some could claim for a entire career. Yet now he's nothing but a "bobble head", a "yes man" or worse? Why, because he doesn't go along with what y'all want?

I haven't said a one negative thing about Kerry, Kennedy or any other elected official who has endorsed Obama even when that support came with some criticism of HRC. But by God let anyone stand with Hillary and all the sudden they're treated like gutter trash around here. It really is shameful.

Governor shows campaign support
By FRANK LEWIS
PDT Staff Writer

Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland said he has two reasons for supporting U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) for the Democratic nomination for president.

"The first reason is personal," he said. "Across the years that I've been in office, no one has been more faithful to me than she (Hillary Clinton) has."

<snipping>

"When I was a candidate, she would send me a contribution even when I didn't ask for it. She has always been faithful to me, but that's the personal reason," he said. "That's not the really important reason."

Strickland said there is no comparison as to the experience of the two Democratic candidates, Clinton and U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).

"If you look at Sen. Clinton's background and experience - and what she has accomplished in her life - if you compare that with Sen. Obama, there is really not much comparison," he said....

[theHandpuppet]

67. You know, if you folks really want the Ohio vote

I wouldn't advise trashing Governor Strickland as a way to convince anyone. He's a very popular governor.

[liberalnurse]

82. That is enough!

Shame on YOU!


Ohio Governor Ted Strickland(D), is giving his heart and soul to clean-up the pillage and devastation caused by *bush, Rove, Blackwell and Taft. He deserves respect.


Now apologise please. I mean it too.

[gerrilea]

3. Give it up she was great!

[Alexander]

10. She was great at getting Obama more votes.

That's what happens when she goes negative.

You really don't see the pattern?

[gerrilea]

21. I don't see the pattern yet, just the MSM destroying her at any chance

[Alexander]

25. She went negative and lost Wisconsin. She went negative and got booed.

Instead of changing her tactics, she's going negative again.

"I don't see the pattern yet,"

The way your blinders are adjusted, it's a miracle you see anything at all.

Not to worry, her drubbing on March 4th will be unmistakable.

"just the MSM destroying her at any chance"

They don't need to, she's doing a fine job at destroying herself already.

[rodeodance]

36. The booing were some Obamasupporters who had no manners!!

[rodeodance]

39. The booing were some Obamasupporters who had no manners!!

[Major Hogwash]

65. Hahaha! And they weren't even from Texas! They were bussed in from Floriduh!

LoL

[MagickMuffin]

55. Hillary's meltdown yesterday was ALL about her and she is the one who held the presser

But it's ALL the MSM fault.

Your logic is :crazy:

[ORDem]

44. Yeah, she was great. A great big condescending asshole,

if that's what you meant.

[complain jane]

54. I thought she was great too.

She didn't attack him, she didn't say anything about him personally, she made sense and pointed out the fact that unity is not achieved by some magic parting of the skies, instead it's complicated and difficult.

Apparently only she has the wisdom and common sense to understand that, and I'm embarrassed for the Democrats at so many people's shrill, hysterical and over-sensitive reactions to her tough and realistic speech.

:thumbsup:

[K Gardner]

4. Yes, it is. She thanked him profusely prior to

the Drama Queen Performance

[TexasObserver]

17. The Ugly Truth: This is the REAL Hillary. Mean, Spiteful, Angry.

[jlake]

27. "Drama queen" .... that's not sexist at all.

[godai]

32. Correct....it describes her recent antics well n/t

[jlake]

38. Wow.

[K Gardner]

40. Cut the bull with the sexist crap.. its lost its zing, if it ever had any, which it

didn't. Hillary wants to run with the big dogs, stop screaming she's a victim of (insert everything including the kitchen sink here).

Its pathetic.

[jlake]

47. Obama and his decks of race cards thank you for your double standard.

Your avatar is fucking creepy as hell btw.

[K Gardner]

60. Its the avatar for "opera". What's creepy is you attacking someone over their avatar, or this..

this is really creepy..

80. I thought your avatar was for Overstock.com....I like it...

What can I say, I like to shop a lot.... :hi:

[tabasco]

77. LMAO. The Opera web browser is pretty creepy alright. n/t

[CoffeeCat]

46. I am so sick and tired of the DU "word police"...

...charging sexism every time someone accurately describes Hillary.

Sometimes women ARE drama queens.

Sometimes men are too.

Sometimes women are hysterical.

Sometimes men are as well.

And sometimes women sound like bitter old hags when they mock people and use
sarcasm and lies to prop themselves up. Deal with it!

Geez, I thought we women had come a long way? We can't deal with words now?
I thought we were tough enough and accomplished enough to be able to chose words
and call out women who ARE behaving like drama queens and jerks.

Golly, Hillary Clinton can act like a complete jerk, and we're not supposed to
say anything about it, or call her out accurately--because she's a WOMAN! Oh dear!

THAT kind of thinking is sexist! I'm a woman, and if I acted like Hillary Clinton
just did in that video, I would expect that people would mock me right back and
ask my why I'm behaving like such a ranging-lunatic drama queen. I'd also expect
everyone to criticize my nightmare yellow and black pantsuit that makes me look like a
enormous bumblebee!

HA! We are women...hear us roar! ...And sometimes that involves calling out other
women who are behaving like fools and also having the freedom to chose accurate and
appropriate words without fear of the 'word police' issuing a pathetic chorus of
"That's just SO sexist!!"

If the Jimmy Choos fit....wear em!

[jlake]

51. Then call her a jerk. But get real.

[CoffeeCat]

56. What a performance!

The only thing missing from that irate, steely-eyed sarcastic performance was
a giant black cauldron and a big stirring stick.

I'll get you Obama! And your millions of followers too!

So much anger at me, but you'll stand up for

Lovely. Just lovely.

[jlake]

59. You're the one calling Hillary and her supporters witches.

[CoffeeCat]

62. Oh please...

I compared Hillary's sarcasm and heavy-handed mocking to the Wicked Witch of the West.

I didn't say one word about Hillary's supporters being like witches.

If anything, they're more like the flying monkeys.

[bigbrother05]

5. Yes, she specifically thanked him in her opening.

Said he had the best name in politics today.

I just pinched a loaf bigger than you...

[dana_b]

23. that was baaaad

Looks like classless, horrible politics as usual. I don't know why I thought that those brief moments at the last debate might last but I was so wrong. She's polite to his face and a trash talking politician when he's not there. She's losing it and people like me who were still undecided are having the choice made for them by her antics.

[complain jane]

53. THAT was "trash talking"?!

Saying that unity isn't something simply achieved by magic is "trash talking"?!?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. Keep Pissing On Clinton Supporters

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that John McCain continues to hold a very modest lead against both potential Democratic challengers. In a general election match-up, McCain now leads Barack Obama 46% to 44

You're going to need every last one you can get...

[FrenchieCat]

13. Thanks for reminding us about the election that is upcoming in November!

I thank you for your service! :patriot:


I will also remind folks of facts as well!

[skipos]

26. That picture deserves it's own thread. nt

[Straight Shooter]

50. List of convenient rationalization. What a bogus bunch of garbage.

I've addressed this list before. You know it's disingenuous.

[Alexander]

14. When Hillary learns to be civil, Obama supporters will show more civility.

Right now, she's attacking him more than she attacks McCain. It's sad and disgusting to watch.

[juajen]

61. Right now, she's running against Obama!

It is not sad and disgusting at all for her supporters who have wanted her to go after him. This is politics, not a tea party. But, you know that, don't you? At this point, if we believe Obama supporters, she has nothing to lose. I hope she splinters into fifty whirling dervishes and attacks him with every breath she takes. It is a delight to watch and he deserves every blast.

[Johnny__Motown]

15. Because Obama has been fighting another 2 front war, he does much better one on one

Get Hillary out of the picture and everything changes, again.

[Windy]

16. I'm getting damn sick and tired of HRC people expressing outrage over a difference of opinion

Many of us don't think that your candidate did the party or her own candidacy any favors today. We are entitled to our opinion. I find the threats of Hillary supporters offensive and tired.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. You Can Feel As You Wish And I Can Feel As I Wish

Like they say on playgrounds everywhere , "it's a free country."

[rodeodance]

43. too bad.

[complain jane]

48. My opinion

is that if anyone was actually shocked and outraged over that speech, they'll need some medication and emotional support through the GE.

Did she attack him personally? Did she say anything derogatory?

Or did she simply point out reality saying unity won't happen magically and that it's complicated and difficult? Oooh! Gasp! How dare she!

If Obama and/or his supporters can't handle that, then I don't want them running the friggen country, that's for sure.

But that's just my opinion.

[cali]

33. bwahahaha. YOU liken Obama supporters to followers of Hitler

and Mussolini and Stalin. You're a caution as they once said.

And you've already said that under NO circumstances will you vote for Obama, so it looks like you're totally full of it.

[Windy]

12. Look at their faces when she starts her rant. They look dumbstuck... n/t

[DUyellow]

18. i noticed that, they do not look too thrilled

[juajen]

68. You two tag teaming? Gosh, DUers would never recognize that!

NT

[DUyellow]

74. huh?

[rucky]

22. WTF is she thinking?

Does she really think she can connect with voters this way?

[wiggs]

28. We've had seven years of negativity and attacks by the administration

against opponents on issues and in politics. As much as I don't like it during campaigns I'm finding the thought of another administration doing the same thing to be even more distasteful...no matter that this time its a dem doing it; it shouldn't be done. We need to stop the long spiral downward in the quality of public discourse.

Is this the way she discusses and resolves issues and would she do it in the WH? Or is this just tough campaigning? She will be attacked in the WH...will she be strong but graceful in response or will she be arrogant, combative, and negative?

[juajen]

70. She has been the epitome of grace under fire. It's way past time that she fired back.

You Obama supporters are so predictable.

[jaysunb]

Proceed at your own peril, Sen Clinton

:evilfrown:

[jaysunb]

29. Proceed at your own peril, Sen Clinton

:evilfrown:

[godai]

30. That was pathetic.

Does she realize that the tamtrums, sarcastic mocking etc. will be for all to see for the rest of her life? I guess it's just desperation. Really, how can anyone find that to be acceptable behavior. Presidential? How about grade school.

[BlackVelvet04]

31. Oh, get a grip....

you're acting like a drama queen. She made a funny....get over it.

[complain jane]

37. Agreed.

[rodeodance]

49. 3rd time is a charm:-)

[rodeodance]

34. Sen Whitehouse is a Hillary supporter---get used to it.

[complain jane]

35. Ugh give me an f'ing break already people.

As if what she said was so offensive? Get real.

There wasn't anything pathetic or shrill in what she said and those who think she's wrong are very naive and inexperienced.

[bigtree]

41. He was smiling

There goes another one of your icons.

[Cha]

42. That's too bad..cause all these

Dem politicians who enable hilary to do her damnest will have to be eating some mock crow soup when Obama wins and with our help turns this country around..unless they want to left in the toxic dust.

What do you think bil said to hil after today's performance? "Just a little too much, don'tcha think, hilary?"

[Unsane]

45. I'm surprised Whitehouse is supporting her.

[godai]

52. May be having second thoughts after today.

Who knows what Clinton connections he has or hopes to have.

statements.

Can you provide a link?

Ya'll are really pathetic.

[Major Hogwash]

81. What's pathetic is how fast Hillary has fell out of favor with the American people.

It is totally astounding to me that even people that live clear down in South Carolina, and in Alabama, and in Georgia totally rejected the rascist bullshit comments that Bubba made about Obama.

That right there is proof that there is hope for America yet.

83. Sen. Whitehouse held a fundraiser for her at his house.

http://www.boston.com/news/local/rhode_island/articles/2008/02/24/hillary_clinton_campaigns_in_rhode_island_boston/
Clinton attended a morning fundraiser at the home of U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse. She held a late afternoon health care round-table in Central Falls before heading to a fundraiser in Boston.




http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/02/25/clinton_tells_ri_voters_she_needs_them/?page=2
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, and Congressman Jim Langevin appeared with Clinton at the events.

"We can make a big difference," Whitehouse told Clinton supporters. "The country is watching. We can't let Massachusetts out-do us here. We've got to do a good Rhode Island job for Hillary Clinton."

end.
I didn't know Whitehouse was for Hillary. I don't get it. He laughed and clapped at her antics also. I just don't get it.
