Remember: The only chance Hillary has left is an Obama scandal

[Joe the Revelator]

They're frustrated because Rezko didn't stick, so now they've latched themselves to the old story of Obama's pastor. When this doesn't stick (lets face it, if it had legs we'd know by now, its a non-story outside of DU) they'll go back to bashing Michelle or yelling about Obama's neighbor's mother's yoga instructor.

To the Obama supporters who bought into the hype, calm down and weather the storm. This is going away in less then 48 hours. Its an old, legless story that the republicans can't attach themselves to because they have Hagge and Robertson.

[dchill]

1. DU Freepers are working on it...

right now.

[Whisp]

73. amazing how so many of them have been in deep cover

for so long.

'but I have 20,000+ posts, I have seniority, so I have the right to spew my stinkless shit as I am of the elite catagory, you low life postcount pleebs, you. bow before me"

:rofl:

[tekisui]

Yep. Over before Sunday.

Better in March than in November.

[dailykoff]

2. Or something horrible.

That's how Feinstein got herself launched if you recall, not to mention LBJ.

[jlake]

3. Keep telling yourself that.

:hug:

[Joe the Revelator]

5. Go read your own "Hillary Supporters" forum

You guys are sitting there manufacturing this like it matter in the real world. Enjoy your war room Carville.

[jlake]

8. ABC, CBS, NBC, Inside Edition are all covering it - besides FOX & the RW noise machine.

It will be on The View, GMA, Today Show etc tomorrow... this will SINK Obama.... and YOU should be happy that it is happening now rather than in the GE.

[anonymous171]

11. lol "sink" obama?

[jlake]

19. Pun intended.

[Joe the Revelator]

17. Ah yes, Inside edition, that bastion of Political News

I've watched these channels all night, the story has no legs.

[jlake]

23. Yes, the bastion of people who would NOT hear about it if it was confined

to the likes of DU....... that's the whole point.

[buff2]

32. This is like arguing with freepers

Down is up,up is down,right is left,left is right and the moon is made out of green cheese. THEY are the only ones who are right......about any subject pertaining to St. Obama.Let them find out on their own. It's NOT going to go away. The rightwingers are the culprits,but it will be Hillary who will get the blame. Be ready for it. :crazy:

[jlake]

55. It's really sad they don't care about the party.

It's clear this will be a killer in the GE.

;(

[buff2]

59. I know.

The repukes are ready. Who knows what else they will drag out on Obama? :scared:

[knixphan]

76. probably connections to Dubai and Saudi...

oops,
nevermind.

[C_U_L8R]

4. All they got left are spitballs.

Hy maybe they'll bring out Zell !

[jmg257]

6. Sheesh - it's on CNN, MSNBC, Fox, ABC, NYT,..it IS out there NOW. Hopefully it will pass though,

But pretending it is not important is silly denial. Obama will HAVE to do or say something (more) - and soon.

[Joe the Revelator]

7. Its a small story on all the channels,nothing like Hillary's own troubles this week

and the ties between Obama and Wright are being downplayed. (as they should be.)

In fact, Leno is still joking about Ferraro.

[jmg257]

10. I do agree on that! That idiot Ferraro just won't shut up!

She thinks it's about her. As if Hill didn't have enough problems!

[NEDem]

18. I couldn't even find it on cnn or msnbc websites.

So, yeah, outside DU its a non-story.

Besides, Sunday the ncaa tourney madness thing ramps up and nobody will be paying attention for a couple weeks

[jmg257]

30. Don't you get cable TV? CNN just did a section on it about 20 mins ago.

Wright's sermon, commentary, etc.

[NEDem]

33. I don't live in front of my tv

[jmg257]

35. Well there ya go! I got my laptop on my...lap, and the TV right over there. Bed time soon.

[NEDem]

37. Well aren't you special....

[jmg257]

39. Are you peeking?? Cheeky monkey. Thanks! ;) :)

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

28. Hillary's goose is cooked.

[MonkeyFunk]

80. LOL

Yeah, it's such a small story Obama had to do a sudden sweep of all the cable shows.

[verelsol]

9. ABC News broke the story. Not the Clinton campaign

Let's get it right.

[Joe the Revelator]

15. Yeah and the tears in NH weren't planned either

There is a reason that this year old story was re-aired the same week that Hillary was having arguably the second worse week of the campaign.

[dailykoff]

20. They're both run by the CIA.

And they're used to winning but Obama is giving them a little trouble, mainly because we're wise to them.

[Kittycat]

21. The story came out in January

It's broke alright, like an old record.

[jmg257]

22. CNN said Hannity started it - but I heard/read Fox and ABC bought tapes. And next debate? ABC...

[HughMoran]

12. Heh, you really are worried about this latest flap

Using the generic "they're" like it's some vast Obama-wing conspiracy :D

[saracat]

13. I don't think so. Even if it goes away during the primary, it will reemege during the general.

And this isn't "old news" It has been rumoured but this is the first time the videos were used. This is bad and BTW, Rezko isn't done yet.And McCain does not have Hagee or Robertson as his pastor and spirititual advisor. Obama dedicated his book to Wright and Wright married him and baptized his kids. He dedicated audacity of hope to Wright.Wright gave the Jerimiah T Wright Award to Luis Farakan in acknowledgement of his being a "great man". This is not nothing.This is BAD.

[Joe the Revelator]

25. You're post is everything I'm talking about Sara. Keep hoping for that silver bullet

Its all you have left.

[saracat]

46. I don't think soooo.

[Joe the Revelator]

47. I doooo

[buff2]

Your boy is going DOWN!

Face it. :evilgrin:

[Joe the Revelator]

51. This is all you have left

[buff2]

53. If it finishes him off

I'll TAKE IT! :smoke:

[Joe the Revelator]

54. You're putting a lot of faith into a legless story

You need to get out of the DU echo chamber for a while.

[buff2]

57. Aw,gee.......

I think all you Obama-bots are gonna need a lot of hugs... :grouphug:

[AX10]

58. Kick

:toast:

[buff2]

60. Right back atcha!

:toast: :hi:

[AX10]

61. ..

:hi:

[AX10]

27. Important points!

[buff2]

38. You are judged by the company you keep

Obama has been hooked up with some very shady characters.

[Joe the Revelator]

42. Then Hillary is a filandering Republican

[buff2]

49. I know......

Too bad she isn't a Saint like Obama. But wait.....didn't I hear him say he is reaching out to republicans and wants to work with them? Didn't he go to Iraq with RICHARD LUGER (R)??? :rofl: Your post is moot.

[ampad]

14. I'm not losing any sleep over it

I am marking my calendar for April 15th. Happy tax return disclosure for Hillary and her crew. Seriously, when I saw how all this hit DU like a shit storm last night right after Keith's special comment I just laughed. It reminds me of my four year old trying to get the last word in after I pissed her off by telling her to go to her room. Those straws some folks are grasping are becoming few and far between.

[buff2]

56. Well,let me see

Obama's wife said she had never been proud to be an American in her adult life,until now. (Now that her hubby is running for President of the country she never was proud of)

His preacher of 20 years who married him and his wife and baptised his children (pretty close relationship,wouldn't ya think)? says the government gave people aids,they were responsible for 9-11, he took the Lord's name in vain in CHURCH,no less,he is a racist and God knows what else is on all the rest of the tapes.It will all come out though. It's just getting started. Blame everyone but Obama. and scream about Hillary. Who cares? The tide is just starting to turn. :rofl:

[barack the house]

16. Actually it does feel like we have seen the worst of it now. The GOP should be easy after all this.

[jillan]

24. Lemme get this straight - you think Hillary made Obama go to that church and give Rev Wright a cmte

on his campaign?

Ok - gotcha!
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0308/Wrights_committee.html

[Joe the Revelator]

29. You must have a reading comprehension problem

Because thats not what I said at all.

[jillan]

43. You said Hillary was looking for a scandal that would stick.

Hillary doesn't need to look for a scandal - Obama keeps dropping them on her lap.

[AX10]

31. ...

[stillcool]

34. I so hope that entire committee...

gets together and holds a press conference. They can discuss Reverend Wright's comments that you find so offensive, and at the same time explain why the Clinton's Race-Baiting Campaign is offensive to them.

[Cha]

26. Thanks for your post..

What a Concept..I have the confidence that the candidate I support will have this one figured out by now.

[Unsane]

36. And she may have gotten it.

[Joe the Revelator]

45. Not out of this one

Not unless Wright was running for president with him.

[Catherine Vincent]

40. Waaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Leave Obama alone!

[Honeycombe8]

41. There are dreamers and there are realists. This story isn't going away.

The video is killer stuff. Preacherman is truly hateful and seems to hate white people, while asking that his friend, Obama, be elected President to rule over a mainly white country.

Doesn't exactly give the citizenry a sense of comfort and confidence.

[anonymous171]

44. VOTE HILLARY 08: A WHITE COUNTRY NEEDS A WHITE LEADER!

wtf!?

[Honeycombe8]

79. A DIVERSE COUNTRY NEEDS A LEADER WHO DOESN'T SUPPORT & REVERE RACISTS! nt

[mtnsnake]

48. Rezko didn't stick? That's what you think. Let's just say it's in limbo for now.

The worst for Obama hasn't even begun to come out. Every day we're hearing more and more about his lack of judgment. That just doesn't bode too well for you guy, Wolsh. Sorry, but I think he might be close to finished.

[Joe the Revelator]

50. Yes Rezko didn't stick

another example of Hillary blowing her load too soon when nothing was really there.

[Catherina]

63. Stick? Boomeranged is more like it

[Drachasor]

62. Limbo => Didn't Stick, you know

[DemGa]

52. Yes, hush little right-wing machine...go to sleep now...

[Creideiki]

64. Obama's from Illinois.

It's not a matter of "if" he'll have a scandal. It's "how many of them" there are.

I'm counting 3 so far--and Rezko isn't the damaging one. Wright is fairly damaging. Getting other state senator's legislation handed to him so he could "sponsor" it through the state legislature is Illinois hardball at it's best (worst).

How about consorting with Republicans? Are they all "Repukes"? Or are some of them redeemable when they come in contact with him? Or are there times when even individual Republicans can have benign or even flatout positive traits?

And what other scandals are coming--because they will be coming. And they'll make Whitewater look like a Freshman composition paper.

[Hoof Hearted]

65. That's it then, Wright has been waiting for 20 YEARS to EMBARRASS OBAMA.

Yer speshel.

[Scurrilous]

66. This reminds me of Snubgate.

48 hours of non-stop frenzied spamming.

Look how well that worked. :P

[McCamy Taylor]

67. Hillary's best chance is to appear calm while Obama blusters.

The super delegates will see her as more mature and better able to handle the right wing attacks which are being waged upon both her and Obama as the GOP continues to smear him and blame her for each smear by having Drudge, Bob Novak and the Moonie Times say "Hillary did it. Hillary did it.". If Obama continues to be unable to recognize when attacks are coming from the right or when he---heaven help us---pretends that attacks from the right are coming from Hillary---experienced Party regulars will see this as a sign of immaturity and short sightedness which will make them tend to worry that he will not be able to carry on a winning campaign against a well financed highly sophisticated GOP machine.

Mature party officials remember 1972, CREEP, the attacks on Muskie and the Democratic Party. They know Rove studied under Atawater. They recognize the Buchanan style that Rove is copying. Bill and Hillary recognize this, too. The only people who do not seem to recognize it---or who pretend not to recognize it because it allows them to blame Hillary during the primary---is Obama. This will not win him friends among the super delegates who do not take kindly to splitter politics.

[quantass]

68. Exactly!!

[depakid]

69. Get a clue: it isn't "they" -some things just are

and people have to deal with them.

[Perry Logan]

70. Maybe the Hillary people should just start making up phoney scandals, like the Obama people do.

They could then put all the debunkings of their bullshit accusations on ignore--like the Obama people do.

[Joe the Revelator]

71. Kick

[McCamy Taylor]

72. Have you convinced yourself yet that Hillary recorded those video tapes?

My new journal "The Right Wing Media v. Obama" shows that the same people who call Hillary a lesbian-witch-bitch have been ranting about that Church since the middle of last year.

[JVS]

74. I'm surprised these videos never appeared when Obama was running for Senate in 2004.

[knixphan]

75. Ha-gee! Ha-gee!

And let's get that Clinton library donor list out!

oh, and Tax records...

[VenusRising]

77. They ran the story on a news dump day.

Friday is always like that for the media. Something new will come along on Monday and no one will be talking about this anymore.

They can't really hold Obama too close to the fire as long as Hillary is in with Coe and The Fellowship.

[knixphan]

78. When....

...has Obama ever blustered?

The MSM knows that if they hang on this for too long, they risk awakening Sharpton, etc...

They would rather have the juicier story of Obama v McCain.

[texshelters]

81. McCain should resign over his Scandal

Read about the Reginald Nelson Scandal:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5102027&mesg_id=5102027

Tex Shelters

[Yukari Yakumo]

82. Bonus: Spitzer's missadventures guarentees nobody's gonna care about Wright.

Their desperation shows. They know their only hope is to scorch the earth and hope for a miracle.

As for Rezko, one word to shut up every Clinton supporter: Hsu.

If they wanna bring up Rezko? We'll just bring up Hsu.

Let's not forget Geraldine and the fact Clinton didn't distance herself from her the instant the whole thing blew up.

For every scandal the Clinton Crony Crew dreamed up, the Obama Squad can throw it back at them and go one better.
