Story about Obama's meeting w/ the Edwards is debunked

[joeprogressive]

On Morning Joe, Elizabeth Edwards was asked the question about Obama being condescending and she said she didn't know where that story came from. "He was charming"

1. Awww, this is sure to bum the Clinton supporters out. I heard EE, too.

Beware of vicious rumors.

2. Thanks for posting. I can't wait to read more about this! It didn't sound like Obama, so I'm not

surprised to see it debunked.

9. but we should look into the sourcing.

wanna bet that someone in clinton's camp was the source?

[SunsetDreams]

3. Unfortunately they will still

try to spin it, even though it came out of her mouth.

This is beyond sad.

Thanks for your post :)

5. Unfortunately their story came from a Clinton strategist

This came from Elizabeth's mouth. Let them call her a liar.

8. I knew it. It was a plant.

Does anyone really believe that Barack was going into a meeting with John & Liz being arrogant and aloof? Of course not.

[Eric Condon]

10. They would, too.

11. Their story came from the "Politico" which is owned by Bush Bot....

and most of their reporters are in on the Corporate/Media Complex...which favors Repugs. So, to blame this on Hillary is not fair...considering the source.

13. I blame the person that posted it the most. That would be a HRC supporter.

20. No, the original story was from New York Magazine.

I'm posting from my iPhone right now, but when I get to my office I can provide a link.

21. The important thing is the source. If they are saying it was a strategist, it was a HRC strategist.

What was the name of this strategist?

[NYCGirl]

26. I was responding to KoKo, that this cannot be laid at the feet of the GOP. NT

24. She's dead to me!!!!!!!!!!

Under the bus with that traitor!

4. What did you expect Elizabeth to say?!! That he was rude on national TV?

:sarcasm:
Thought I would say it first before they do... Because you know it's coming

[joeprogressive]

6. Your right, it is coming but she would never had said charming.

She would have minced her words but "charming" is much different than glib and aloof.

7. I know exactly where it came from

and they're searchable right here on DU.
It's pretty sad that Hillary's own supporters
are undermining her cause so badly by spreading
these blatantly hamfisted lies. But then, they're
just doing what they've been asked to do.
Is there even a shred of credibility left?

Thank you Elizabeth Edwards for exposing
yet another Clinton lie.

[BeyondGeography]

12. What does she know?

:sarcasm:

[lisa58]

15. lol

[Abacus]

14. The original story didn't sound much like Obama

I figured it had undergone some...enhancements.

[City Lights]

16. K&R for the truth.

:-)

[karynnj]

17. Yep - and more importantly, she said CLEARLY that both Dems covered people with pre-existing

conditions.

[Umbram]

18. Clinton supporters will still paste the story here about five more times. (nt)

[joeprogressive]

19. Then they are calling Elizabeth a liar. That would be uncool.

[DerekJ]

22. Kick

[dancingme]

23. and she said NO endorsement from John

for either candidate.

[powergirl]

25. Clinton supporters will now call Ms. Edwards a liar

I notice everytime a poll supports Obama, those polled lied. Whenever an endorsement is made for Obama, the endorser is evil. What's next, Voo Doo mind control?
