If the Clinton Campaign Seeks to Make Jeremiah Wright an Issue...they WILL Lose Votes!!

[Bullet1987]

In a desperate attempt to deflect away from her major Bosnia gaffe, the Clinton campaign has resorted to making an issue with Jeremiah Wright (as if they NEED more attacks of being race-baiters). This is not only utterly stupid on the campaigns part, but shows you how disgracefully low they'll go to TRY to win. Last week when this issue was huge, the Clinton campaign remained silent...not wanting to hurt themselves by deflecting attention. Now that two polls have come out showing that Obama has closed within 10 points in PA (in one Ras poll) and beating her bad in NC in the PPP poll (same poll that had Obama barely winning by one last week)...and now that her Bosnia flap is running full steam in the MSM...she wants to bring Wright back into the discussion.

Well, let me tell you this...anyone who thinks this'll help Clinton in the long run is in dire need of a straight jacket. People could only attack the MSM before, and the media ignores voters anyway...but now we can attack the Clinton campaign and drive her numbers down because she's bringing this issue up again. And she thinks she's going to sway Superdelegates this way...by bringing up Jeremiah fucking Wright when she's getting bad press!!! The worse week in Obama's campaign via a swiftboat attempt? Fuck that shit...we can't let her drag the Party down with her selfish ass campaign and entitlement issues.

1. I Expect Obama To Come Back Tomorrow Tanned & Rested And Brush Her Away Like A Gnat

B-)

[ericgtr]

3. Like only he can

and it will only make her that much more frustrated. The bottom line is she cannot handle him.

[Cha]

20. Like only Obama can

tan! B-)

[my3boyz]

49. HAHAHAHA

I had to laugh at that! LOL LOL She has been spreading her venom while he has been enjoying time with his family. I'm so happy he was able to spend some time with his daughters.

2. I posted this a lot last week

It is our patriotic responsibility to dissent when it is warranted.

"Check out what King said about the Vietnam War at his own Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta on Feb. 4, 1968:

"God didn't call America to engage in a senseless, unjust war. . . . And we are criminals in that war. We've committed more war crimes almost than any nation in the world, and I'm going to continue to say it. And we won't stop it because of our pride and our arrogance as a nation. But God has a way of even putting nations in their place." King then predicted this response from the Almighty: "And if you don't stop your reckless course, I'll rise up and break the backbone of your power.""

Lord knows the corporate media wouldn't expose the obvious similarities.

Dolts.

The imaginary Ipod in my cranium to which I oft refer shuffles to Dylan's "What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this. . .?" Wherein he sings "Patriotism is the last refuge to which a scoundrel clings. . ."

4. I wish she would just STFU like for two days in a row

so we could at least TRY and not hate her for what she is blatantly doing-or TRYING to do to our chances in November

[Tippy]

5. From TPM.........a little over one hour ago

[Bullet1987]

8. What's from TPM?

14. computer messed up the post is below....n/t

[gabeana]

6. I agree

and if by some miracle she takes the nomination through this Wright issue and the help of super delegates, the AA turnout will not be strong enough for her to win in the GE, only thing I can think is that the Clintons want to make sure Obama loses the GE so she can run in 2012, She will only be 64, I posted an article on this yesterday.

[woolldog]

17. No way, if she loses this nomination battle

She will be forever branded a loser, which she is. She's not going anywhere in 2012. I doubt she hangs onto her senate seat.

[gabeana]

31. You make a good point

but I'm just trying to find the logic behind this because she can't win with this way

[David Dunham]

7. No, Hillary's nailing Obama on Wright is the lead news story tonight

Hillary gets down and dirty and annoys the Obamabots big time.

[Bullet1987]

11. It won't be in the same context as last week and it makes

Clinton look petty and like a race-baiter. If you think she wins votes because of this...you're dreaming.

[Cha]

21. hilary's a dirty liar and is annoying the delegates,

too.

[crankychatter]

47. Carville's threats would MAKE me back Obama AND...

WANT TO SLAP HIM

[crankychatter]

48. deleted double

[krkaufman]

46. You aren't watching the same news, then.

The Rev. Wright guilt-by-association stuff was *never* as damaging as these pieces, which make Hillary look a liar and a buffoon. (a puffoon?)

CBS News - 3/25

ABC News - 3/25

9. I only regret that I have but one vote to vote against her with... nt

[EFerrari]

10. FYI: This morning, CNN aired a clip of his Easter sermon.

It was beautiful. And the anchor went on to say that the Easter Sermon was more representative that the other clip.

CNN seems to have gotten enough "feedback" to back track on their attacks on Rev. Wright. :evilgrin:

To all the DUers that emailed them Sun night / Mon morning, THANK YOU!

:hi:

[Cha]

25. And thank you for the FYI, sfexpat..

Stunning news to me! :hi:

And thanks to the DUers and everyone else who emailed cnn about their egregious attacks on Pastor Wright.

[Tippy]

12. Talking Points Memo had this

It's not just Hillary reigniting the Wright story. A member of Hillary's finance committee has been pushing it publicly, too, equating Wright with David Duke in a little-noticed Irish radio interview.

[Coexist]

13. Question to Clinton: If you are so principled,

Why didn't you get up and leave during Suha Arafat's famous speech?

Not only did she sit through it, but she hugged and kissed her afterwards...



In November 1999, at a function inaugurating a new American-funded health initiative in the West Bank, Suha launched into a tirade against Israel, making unsubstantiated claims that the Israeli government was responsible for cancer rates in Palestinian areas. Then-U.S. First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton (now a Senator from New York) was present at the ceremony and was sitting feet away from Arafat on the dais when the remarks were made. Unsure of how to handle the Palestinian First Lady's unexpected outburst, Clinton accepted a hug from Suha and kissed her on the cheek.

[MonkeyFunk]

15. Nah

it's a good issue to hit him with. I know you guys don't like it, but politically, it's a winner for her.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

19. And a loser for the Democrats

If she manages to bring Obama down because of Wright she can kiss the African American vote goodbye and then be destroyed in the GE by a real war hero with her little fake sniper story.

I'm a military veteran and I can tell you the sniper thing is probably going around military bases like wildfire. There is nothing more loathsome to servicemembers than someone lying about something like that.

[Cha]

27. I know..the post that made the point of

hilary's sniper attack claim being an insult to our troops who are facing real Fire really resonated with me. And, it isn't going unnoticed.

[george_maniakes]

23. But its not. Because if shes willing to say wright is unworthy because of those few statements...

and throw the whole rest of his history, then how many people does she have around her that are also unworthy because of statements they made? see what i mean? If she is judging wright like that, then she is going to reap what she sows.

[MonkeyFunk]

24. sorry

Obama has a 20 year relationship with Wright, and has donated over $120,000 to his church. Most Americans are put off by some of the things Wright has said.

It's perfectly legitimate for Clinton to use this - do you really think the Republicans wouldn't?

[sudopod]

28. FOX NEWS ALERT

We are not Republicans.

[george_maniakes]

36. obamas relationship with wright is not the point, thats already clear, its hillarys judgement...

on who she considers worthy and who unworthy. obama wont walk away from him, but she will. so who else will she walk away from who has made statements she considers unworthy? See what i mean, she has set a bar now of whos in and whos out, and now all the people shes had a relationship will be judged by that bar.

[Bullet1987]

26. Good in the eyes of whom exactly? Obama has done very well

since the Wright flap...people have forgiven him for it. If it looks like she's bringing this up simply to deflect attention away from Bosnia...SHE WILL LOSE VOTES because it's petty and gutter dirty!! The Superdelegates sure as hell won't like it I bet (why do you think Richardson endorsed Obama in the first place?). They already seem to be distancing themselves from her right now anyway.

[FedoraLV]

34. Is that it?

Attack his supporters, the states who voted for him, the delegates who support him, the primary process itself, his next-door-neighbor, his race, wife, his church, his minister ... and back to the same again? (When none of it has stuck?) (When it just makes her look worse?)

Her op research can't come up with anything else?

Folks, it looks like Obama is exactly what he appears to be: a once in his lifetime candidate with nothing to be ashamed of in his past (or his present.) We need an extraordinary leader -- not to be an even more authoritarian commander in chief -- but to energize all us us to work together to set this country back on its feet.

Gobama.

[Ysabel]

16. it's just another desperately obvious lie...

- because it didn't matter to her before and now it suddenly it does (oh sure)...

[Kurovski]

18. They don't care. They know they've already lost. They're ruining Obama's chances now.

Or hoping to.

They know they're losing, it's why they pulled their paid operatives off of Kos and DU.

Oops!

[Kurovski]

22. Actually, Kurovski, that's not true.

They're off working in a Pennsylvania coal mine.

[Laurab]

30. Oh, that's such a silly thought, you conspiracy nut.

I'm almost positive there's still one or two hanging around here! I saw a couple posts saying it's an excellent strategy in this very thread.

I've got to go...running from sniper fire here!

[Kurovski]

32. Take a nap before you say something you regret!!

Duck and cover! DUCK AND COVER!!!

[Laurab]

35. Whew - that was close!

Just a few countries away. But I'm okay, not to worry. And my daughter is one tough kid, all 90 lbs of her - Duck and Cover, and you hardly even see her!

You do crack me up when you talk to yourself! :silly:

[Kurovski]

37. Did you hear that, Kurovski?

She digs you! Go for it, man!

[Kurovski]

38. Now, now...you know I'm gay, and Laurab is married.

I'm sorry Laurab, if Kurovski bothers you any more, just give me a PM and I'll take care of it. :hug:

[Laurab]

39. Hurry up before you come to your senses, Kurovski!

Then you'll realize you should have said "DUCK AND COVER"!

[Kurovski]

40. I never sleep! I never know what I'm saying!

Make me president!

[Laurab]

44. But what will Wetzelbill think?

And what about the bumper stickers, etc., that we've spent a small fortune on?

[Kurovski]

45. I misspoke!

Whatever it is you think I should now say, that's what I just said!

[Laurab]

50. What if I don't know?

If you don't know what you should say, and I don't know what I think you should say, are we screwn?

I think maybe Kurovski should talk to Kurovski and figure something out - he's the only one who can help!

Oh damn - SNIPER FIRE AGAIN...gotta go!

[Kurovski]

51. OMGOMGOMG! What to do?? What TO DO!!!???

I hear John McCain is good at this! He just said not waging war is morally reprehensible! That's what I'll say, too!

We must wage war to prove to the world our moral non-reprehensibility!!

So, then, let us declare war on Canada and Mexico NOW!!! Re-vamp the bumper stickers.

DUCK AND COVER!!!

[Laurab]

52. No, Kurovski - don't listen to that senile old man.

He said THAT??????? He must be stopped - I go to Canada a lot. Think of ME for once. Sometimes I even think of going to Canada and staying there - they're such a peaceful bunch.

John McCain is doing well to stick by his beloved GW, it will almost certainly lose him an election, but we must resist the ramblings of a senile old man. Or, send him off to wage war, all by himself, so that he can feel morally non-reprehensible.

There's no money in the budget to revamp the bumperstickers - I gambled it all away. In Canada. Because maybe government doesn't matter....

[EndElectoral]

29. And she does it on a right wing station..Her desperation is painful to watch and rough for our party

[Taxmyth]

33. GOP will use it

and it will be effective advertising to their base. But hey, let's jump on Senator Clinton for being aware of what the future holds.

IF Senator Obama is the nominee then Pastor Wright will have lots of opportunities to go on the talk shows and give his views on America today and so will Senator Obama. Sounds like a plan.......for the GOP.

[Symarip]

41. I Actually Think It's Deeper Than Just Snipergate

I think she's out of money and any bad press aimed at her MUST be turned into a drawn out negative story about Obama just to stay afloat and keep his numbers down long enough to figure out how to go forward. Granted, it's viewed unfavorable by some here, but it may be a signal of her campaign's last gasps which one could view as a positive (eventually).

Personally, I'm not a big Clinton fan but I don't really trash her, either. She's made her bed and eventually, wherever that bed is, she'll have to lay in it.

[RememberWellstone]

42. Tinfoil hats on Ebay

get a bucket full, you're gonna need them in the weeks to come.

[Kurovski]

43. I'm too poorly-rested to understand what you mean.

Sittin' on the dock of the bay??? Buckets full of weak chum??

[Medusa]

53. She doesn't care.

It's obvious. Why the surprise or outrage at this point? We know what her strategy is, we know what her end game is. We should just stop discussing her period and let her vanish, as she deserves.
