Give me a break Team Hillary .... stop calling talk shows and whining

[Botany]

Hillary had 150 million dollars in the bank, a 40 point lead in the polls,
huge name recognition, and tons of endorsements but now she is losing
and it is all because the media wasn't fair to Hillary.

I have heard the same people calling air america & jones radio shows
reading from scripts, dropping talking points, and attacking Barack
Obama for (Plagiarism, ties to the Nation of Islam, the mean spirit of his
campaign, ties to Weather Underground {Obama would have been 7 - 9
years old when W.U. was active}, and saying that media wants Obama).

Now w/ the threat of the law suit in Texas from "Team Hillary" the meme is
both sides are doing it despite the fact that the law suit threat is coming from
the Clinton camp. That course of actions along w/ her latest "3:00 AM phone
call spot" to me, are scorched policies.

Now to all good Democrats who support Clinton and think she is the best
I want to extend my hand in friendship w/ the best of wishes and hope you
join Obama when your hurt feelings heal.

1. did you hear Sam Seder on Randi yesterday? the first robot kept calling him Randy

and then read the talking points that Obama is friends with a guy named Al Keeda

2. Man, you guys just can't STAND

that people disagree with you on choice of candidate, huh?

The incessant demands that we all shut up NOW is getting downright silly. The race is still going on - and people will advocate for their candidate, no matter how much it pisses you off.

[bigbrother05]

4. Well could you advocate in a positive manner?

[ClassWarrior]

13. Exactly.

NGU.

[MonkeyFunk]

19. Well, we do strive to be as positive as Obama's supporters here

but sometimes we fall short. :eyes:

20. Thamks Monkeyfunk, for an honest response

[The Anti-Bush]

22. I think threads can be equally immature and ignorant.

Both sides have taken it too far on here, and unfortunately it is the vocal minority on BOTH sides that gives the majorities a bad name.

I will just be glad when this is over, and we all either have to get behind the nominee or get booted.

We. Must. Jump. Upon. The. Unity. Train.

16. We must all love Mama!

Come back to Steph and snuggle up to her "lady lumps."

[ronnykmarshall]

21. After the nomination is settled.

6. I don't mind at all,

in fact I think it is generally healthy. I do get tired of trying to change the rules mid-game. I get tired being labeled a sexist because I think Obama is a better candidate than Hillary. I get tired of the hypocracy. A few weeks ago, every time Obama corrected a statement Hillary made about him, we saw crying baby photos and "waaaaaah"s; every day I see Hillary complaining about some perceived injustice but now the instructions to "grow up" are lacking.

[MonkeyFunk]

9. Then my post wasn't directed at you

it was directed at people like the OP who demand that Clinton supporters shut up and go home.

[Botany]

7. I have heard the same people call many times w/ different

names but always the same ploy:

"I have always been a big fan of (host's name) BUT your
show has been very unfair to Hillary Clinton and callers
who support her ..... Why have you talked about (Barack's
sin of the day)?

Host ... well tell me about it.

Caller ..... starts talking and will not stop when the host ask
a question or wants to discuss the topic.

Host after 15 seconds to 2 minutes .... Good Bye I gave you a chance
but if you will not answer the ? or let me speak on my show I have
to cut you off.

[jgraz]

3. It's pretty obvious that this is a concerted effort

They not only spew the same talking points, they've all been coached to keep talking until the host hangs up on them.

To quote Sam Seder: "I can't believe what rude motherfuckers these Hillary callers are." (Spoken off-air on the SammyCam)

[NastyRiffraff]

8. Only Obama supporters are allowed to call talk shows!

Got it. Thanks.

[Botany]

11. I never said that.

And if that is what you took from my post I am sorry.

[The Anti-Bush]

23. It doesn't matter what you said.

It only matters what they wish you said. If they have to admit you weren't intentionally being a asshole, they can't fain outrage.

[Botany]

24. I Gotta try @ least

BTW @ least I wasn't called a misogynist :rofl:

[donheld]

10. Team Hillary .... keep calling talk shows and whining

Your not losing badly enough as it is.

[jlake]

12. That shows the power of the MSM....wait 'til they turn on Obama.

[ClassWarrior]

15. Yes, Stephanie Miller and Sam Seder are going to "turn on Obama."

:eyes:

NGU.

[jlake]

26. I was referring to the OP's laundry list of Clinton's advantages.

[Forkboy]

14. I suspect if the roles were reversed so would the whining.

:shrug:

[sybylla]

17. Does seem quite ridiculous on the face of it, doesn't it?

Like a little kid smashing a lego castle so the other kids can't play with it. Sadly, this win-at-all-costs attitude will cost Hillary all the street cred she'd built up with Dems since leaving the Whitehouse. I had a lot of respect for her until things started looking down for her and she let her campaign lead the circular firing squad.

[Botany]

18. If Obama had lost 11 straight states by an average of 20 + points .....

... the party would be all over him to drop out.

Hillary & comapny has brought up drugs, race, religion, plagiarism,
fear of terror, Karl Rove, W, and now a possible law suit in TX?

No doubt Hillary has some very good people who support her but
her "scorcthed earth" campaign and the actions of a small bunch
of followers are not "good things" for our party.

[backscatter712]

25. Classic astroturfing tactics.

Shrilling out blogs and forums, making calls to talk shows, writing letters to the editor - making that impression that there's a grassroots movement for her that doesn't exist.
