26. While two of the three candidates may be "real patriots"
it appears that only one of them doesn't have Stockholm Syndrome.

hateful, harmful things he said about the president and the first lady, for all of his lies and smears ....

Oh wait, he said that about her and Bill ...

She hopes to begin production on "Dancing with the Devil" the next reality television show filmed in DC :argh:

20. The Clintons are owned:
A Bill Moyers essay on Rupert Murdoch and The Wall Street Journal. PBS: Friday, June 29, 2007 at 9PM

"This remarkable Bill Moyers journal was made prior to the Wall Street Journal's
purchase by Rupert Murdoch. That is significant for two reason. He notes a
Clinton tie-in to Murdoch and FOX News then."

"Make no mistake, the Murdoch-FOX attack on Barack is not playing games for
ratings. It is dead earnest and mandated from the top. No one is better able to
identify a threat than one who is infested by the various demons associated with
the jaws of hell."

27. there is one poster that keeps running around here saying
that all the attacks on hillary and obama are the VRWC, that we are being played.

I've bookmarking your post and the OP so I can post them the next time that poster starts that crap - hillary is in bed with the shit and it's not because he cleaned up his act or found jesus.

57. He and Rachel Maddow are the only reasons...
...to watch MSM, IMO.

I love Olbermann, don't get me wrong, but he is often a little overly dramatic for me. That's his presentation, I know, but sometimes it just doesn't sit well with me when I'm in my "taking politics uber-seriously" mode.

Maddow and Robinson are calming sources of true intellect and reason.

21. Scaife has turned into a Bush-hating anti-war activist, backing Kerry, Murtha, Soros, and Obama
although he decided to endorse Clinton over Obama in the primary.

I'll never forgive the evil piece of shit, but I know full well if he'd have endorsed Obama instead, and it was pretty close according to those who know him, the Obama crowd would be all gooey-eyed about him.

For that matter, when he backs Obama in the GE, are you going to vote McCain instead?

25. No. Fucking. Way.
If Obama got endorsed by Scaife, I'd have a lot to say about it, none of it good.

I'm not about to get 'gooey-eyed' over some billionaire fuckhead who tried to destroy may party, and I resent the implication that I'd do that.

In the words of a wise old man - 'I wouldn't piss on Scaife if he was on fire.' Get it straight.

And the odds of Scaife backing Obama are about as remote as those of Hillary winning the pledged delegate vote.

51. So do you reject Kerry? And since Kerry endorsed Obama, should Obama denounce Kerry?
Kerry has worked with Scaife on the anti-war movement. So has George Soros and Jack Murtha.

37. What gives you that idea?
I'm a Democrat. Why would I want to vote for that old pusbag McCain?

Oh, I get it. You think because I'm an Obama supporter, that I'm one of those 'I won't vote for Hillary' types.

Sorry, wrong. I've voted for the Democrat in every election since 1972, and I ain't about to stop now. If i had to vote for Clinton I would, but I wouldn't be real happy about it.

And what makes you so sure Scaife won't endorse McCain? Crystal ball?

You gotta be pretty gullible to think Scaife's changed his stripes. He'll turn on the Democrats in two seconds flat - just wait until the nominee is settled and watch him go.

48. He should try reading that piece of filth that Scaife publishes for a week and then
make those same claims. Remember the op ed writer that Teresa heinz Kerry told to "Shove it"? That was Colin McNickle one of Scaife's top flying monkeys, a guy who brags about being a "proud member of the vast right wing conspiracy."

No self-respecting Democrat in this town reads the Trib.

22. Dancin' with the Devil in the Pale Moonlight...
I must say one thing, though. If she can go talk with him face-to-face, it actually does suggest some significant things:

1) She's willing to go to talk to ANYBODY - which we should be doing as a country, instead of snubbing those international leaders who don't agree with us.
2) It might be indicative of her ability to reach out to adversaries - maybe in Congress - and get something accomplished (for those who value such an attribute).
3) She does have guts. I gotta hand it to her. Even that miserable shit noted as much in his editorial. I don't think I'd be so magnanimous or forgiving of an enemy like him. I'm not sure I have that in me.

I've gotta say I'm impressed.

he hasn't retracted a damn thing, he hasn't publicly apologized, he hasn't said it was a mistake and his obsessive hate hurt the nation

she simply proved she will do whatever it takes to get what she wants, but that has been what hillary, the candidate is all about.

38. Fetch a dictionary, and lookup the word endorse.
Plus Obama would never go and sit with that sleazebag. The idea is just not that he endorsed (approved) her. It's that she actively went to him, the one who accused her of murder, and solicited that approval. And then she didn't reject and denounce that endorsement from that crook.

It’s a continuation of a pattern too, like her interviews on Fox news, praising McCain, praising Fox.

the husband of the disabled woman that WalMart sued, trying to take away
her trust fund intended to pay for her care.

Olbermann now asks what Walmart is going to do to compensate the Shanks for
the "legal torture" they have endured for the past year.

YES!

It must be quite tough to have to twist logic, distort views, give up on your lifelong ideals, and deny the undeniable to defend your candidate.

That must be tough on your soul.

He's truly right (pun intended) of course, if people think he supports her, that's the end of her career.

Now, if he had thought of that in 1993, he could have saved a lot of money! :rofl:

And not just a link to a favorable comment. Give me the link to an endorsement.
Unless you are full of it and continued the "X gave Y a nice compliment therefore X endorsed Y" pattern.

If that's true, I have a list of right-wing nuts who have "endorsed" Obama, including the Weekly Standard.
