when did the DU Obama/Clinton feud jump the shark?
Edited on Sun Mar-23-08 01:52 PM by villager
This question came up on a thread by Bonobo...

Since the "spat" has now served to effectively nullify -- or keep stillborn -- any effective anti-GOP strategy, when did the combined enmity of both camps mutually "jump the shark?"

5. McCain is a disaster of a candidate. All we need to do is keep posting this picture on billboards.

2. I'm guessing the "has a speech in 2002" remark.
That was remarkably offensive and soured me on Clinton.

3. for me, it was on 2/17/08--The Plagiarism attacks
I lost almost all respect for Clinton on that day.

For me, it was a trifecta:
McClurkin
Obama's praise for ROnald "Piss On The Poor" Reagan
Obama's comments on the "excesses of liberalism"

All three of those are big warning signs that this man is not to be trusted. Period. I could go on, but I think those three sealed the deal for me. Fuck Obama.

6. For me it was the endorsement of McCain
and the celestial choirs speech, and their defense of it

8. Good point -- showed how mucked up both sides had become, how lost in rhetoric
and how the bigger picture, on the Dem side, was slipping away...

11. Not only did Hillary not learn anything from the plagiarism fiasco
Edited on Sun Mar-23-08 02:42 PM by rocknation
--to wit, that people record things--she repeated her mistake with Rev. Wright and most recently, her trip to Bosnia.

13. Rev. Wright is an "all Hillary" thing, and not part of the MSM's "gloves off" McCain
coverage?

Doesn't that analysis get us back to square zero?
