Bill Press thinks Pat Leahy and Chris Dodd sound Sexist.
Edited on Sat Mar-29-08 11:35 AM by hnmnf
So on Faux, Bill Press said these calls from old white men for Hillary to get out of the race sounds like telling a woman to get out of the race and get back in the Kitchen.

Nice Job Bill in typical Hillary Clinton supporter fashion, think everything is Sexist.

10. Do explain that math to us naive Hillary supporters.
Go ahead and do it. You can't.

Fact is, your dude Obama won't reach, most likely, 2025 delegates needed for the Nomination without the superdelegates eiher. Deal with it.

12. here you go, dufus
1. The Supers will not overturn the Pledged delegate result.

2. In order for Hillary to have a lead in Pledged delegates, she would have to win every remaining state with >65%

3. Hillary will not even win PA with 65%.

4. Hillary will remain behind in pledged delegates.

5. The Supers will choose the pledged delegate leader as the Nominee.

6. Obama, as the PD leader, will become the nominee.

QED

4. Press just doesn't get it sometimes
I remember seeing a photo of him meeting and shaking hands with * VERY soon after * was installed by the Supreme Court. I was so angry then that I assumed that any Dem would refuse to meet him. But there was Bill, not only shaking hands with him, but smiling with real pride and glee. Soon after, the photo was shown on his CNN show, and he did not express any emarrassment. He was proud of it.

5. Oh brother.
If Press finds that sexist, I wonder what he thinks of Bill referring to Hillary as a "girl." What an opportunist that Press is. :eyes:

You'll be verbally castrated along with every other Democrat that has dared to defy Saint Obama.

Bill Press is no different in this regard.

14. Fixed Election
Today's Democrats want to fix the election before the convention. I can't believe our party has sunk to this. Why spend money on the convention? It's just a big party according to those who want to desenfranchise voters. The days of a meaningful convention appear to be gone.

Why bother to vote? Let the party choose, which they did in my state (caucus).
There are two candidates today. Everyone hasn't voted (and in the caucus states everyone never will). Let the people vote in the states that allow them to vote.

The only thing hurting the Democratic party is the supporters who want a fixed convention. There are those damagers who don't know how to judge a candidate on issues. They only know how to spout nonsense and tear the other candidate down. They alienate Democrats who have been around fighting the good fight long before they were born, as if because these Democrats are older, their support of the party's platforms, of civil rights, of women's rights, of health care is worthless.

Obama campaigning against Bill Clinton's administration in his quest to get Republican voters is damaging.

The party is in deep deep trouble. And the more they try to desenfranchise voters, the more trouble they will be in.

Here's what I'd like to reply when they want money. You don't care about my vote, I don't care about you.

15. I write and call in to The Bill Press show regularly to express my disgust...
He is so pro-Hillary and so very obviously anti-Obama.

17. I agree he's pro-Hillary but I still listen to him on my ride to work
But I won't hold that against him and throw him under the bus. I can handle a different point of view.

20. OMG - Both Leahy and Dodd have excellent records on women's issues
You can be against HRC, but not against all women - just as you can be against Obama, but not all blacks. Here, it is even less strong than "against" it is "support Obama over HRC"

Would Press endorse Condi Rice over Obama?

23. I've been listening to Press' radio show recently
because I've had insomnia (it airs 3-6 AM in Los Angeles) and I have to say that I'm very disappointed in the way he accepts the RW framing of issues so readily. He was appalled--and shocked!--at the Wright comments, played into the RW framing of Michelle's "first time I've ever been proud" comments, and never once mentions Cindy McCain. He seems very Colmes-esque to me.
