A reminder of why Obama supporters may not be loving toward Clinton.

[mckeown1128]

Anyone else remember that Pro-Clinton robo-call in Nevada where the voice emphasized Obama's middle name no less than 4 times in 30 seconds? Culminating with "we just can't take a chance with Barrack HUSSIEN Obama." This makes me SO MAD. I don't Democratic President who uses that kind of robo-call

Link working now.

1. and of course we know she was behind this call because?

no wait, we have no idea if she was behind this call or not.

[hedgehog]

3. That's right. It could have been Lee Mercer for all we know! nt

[truedelphi]

41. _1heh!_ 1heh!_ 1heh!_

[mckeown1128]

4. Ohh your right....

It very well could have been Edwards... because he really was going to put his reputation on the line to break 4% in Nevada. :eyes:


Please... only one person could benifit from this type of tactic in NEVADA.

[dsc]

5. and surely rove has never been known to do this sort of thing

no wait, he has.

[mckeown1128]

6. so your saying that Rove.... personally funded a robocall...

to attack Obama in the Nevada primary.... why the hell would he waste time and effort doin that?

[dsc]

13. to sew dissension

not that it would have worked. On edit for the dumbest poster alive. This post is sarcasm. As part of sarcasm we sometimes say things that are the opposite of what is true. When I said the words "not that it would have worked" I meant " as it worked". Does that help?

[mckeown1128]

18. You have no clue how idiotic you sound...

just stop while your ahead. Your silly little scenario doesn't even make sense.

[dsc]

25. see the other response.

[OhioBlue]

7. listen to yourself. that is ridiculous.

Rove crawled out of his hole and went to Nevada to place Robocalls for Clinton for the hell of it?

[mckeown1128]

15. Don't bother... up is down and down is up for some of the

Clinton supporters in DU... they "believe" that Clinton is entitled to be president and now that she is all but down... they have to grasp at straws anyway they can.

[dsc]

16. to sew dissension

not that it would have worked.

[mckeown1128]

19. So even thought according to you it wouldn't work...

why than would Rove do it? I swear you are so full of it.

[dsc]

22. christ jesus on a shamrock

do we really need sarcasm icons on every damn thing we type. This entire thread would be exhibit A in dissension sewed by those calls.

[mckeown1128]

26. But according to you it didn't work. nt

[dsc]

45. ok once very, very, slow

Sarcasm means that when I said "not that it would have worked". I meant "as it really worked".

[mckeown1128]

49. Ok... if Rove and the GOP did put out this robocall....

why? I ask you. Why, did we not hear about this in the press? Wouldn't fox news be on this like a fatboy on cake? Wouldn't we have had a months worth of "Clinton attacks Obama using his middle name" speculation? Why would the GOP put money into making enough calls for the chance... that an Obama suppporter would get the recording off of their voicemail and send it into Obama.. That would take a lot of calls... why when Obama brought this to the media... did only Politico... run a little blurb about it? Wouldn't this be frontpage Drudge/Freeper/Newsmax/Foxnews material... if they wanted to do this to cause division and mistrust to the Democratic party?

or could it be that Clinton was freaked about the SEIU of Nevada backing Obama... and that she wanted to shift some voters her way... quietly under the radar.

[hfojvt]

34. that's "sow" as in sowing seeds of dissension

not sewing the fabric of dissension

[woolldog]

57. lol

:rofl:

[CreekDog]

29. Rove did it the same week Bob Kerrey made a big deal of the middle name?

uh huh.

[SammyWinstonJack]

11. Was that slight against Edwards necessary? You Obama DU fans have no shame.

[mckeown1128]

20. It wasn't meant as a slight...

I was actually trying to defend Edwards against the assumption that he would be behind this robocall. I was trying to point out that it wouldn't make sense for Edwards to do this... because Nevada was never an Edwards friendly state. I truly apologize... I didn't mean to demean him. I have always like Edwards and he has always been a near tie to Obama in my mind. Check my profile.

[Cha]

42. Because she hilary fucking clinton, who

plays in the "gutter", that's why.

[shaniqua6392]

2. It could have actually been calls put out by Obama

or Obama supporters. We do not have any proof that Clinton had anything to do with this.

[OhioBlue]

8. you're kidding right?

[mckeown1128]

9. Clintonian logic...

"Obama put out calls criticizing himself... emphasizing his middle name.... to improve his chances in Nevada".....:eyes:

[Debi]

14. You know, someone could go into her FEC reports and find if robo-calls were paid for in Nevada

Oh...wait...what am I saying...she HASN'T PAID HER NEVADA BILLS YET....x(

[shaniqua6392]

24. Well since I can't stand either Clinton or Obama much

I guess I am not guilty of "Clintonian logic". LOL!! I just don't care much for slander without proof. I am just funny that way. I am fond of the law and the Constitution and silly things like that. Both sides of these candidates throw around accusations without any proof. If anyone really cared about robocalls, they can investigate and discover where they came from.

[Big Blue Marble]

12. That rationalization just sounds desperate. n/t

[Umbram]

21. Wow, that is idiotic. (nt)

[Window]

48. ..

:rofl:

[lumberjack_jeff]

10. Whew! Thanks. For a minute there everyone was forgetting how righteous their hate is. n/t

[ronnykmarshall]

17. and let's not forget obsession over pro-HRC sites.

And making a "list" of those offenders.

[mckeown1128]

27. You mean that site where DU posters go to post in a forum

called "DUmp" where they brag about spamming DU... then they come here and complain about how Obama supporters aren't being nice to them. You mean the list of those names???

[Maddy McCall]

31. You're a one-trick-pony, aren't you.

No such forum exists there. Get over it.

[mckeown1128]

36. Yes I know... you folks changed the name of the forum

once I broke the news about it. I realize... it's harder to convince DU'ers to try out that site when everyone knows that it has a forum called "DUmp"... bad publicity.

[apocalypsehow]

52. Wow, just wow. They set up such a thing and still have the gall to show their faces here?

Their arrogance is unbelievable.

:thumbsdown:

[mckeown1128]

53. I know... then they lie and say there is no such forum as "DUmp"...

when several of us saw it with our own eyes.

[ronnykmarshall]

56. Did you have a smoke after you posted that?

[mckeown1128]

58. Ohh Don't tell me that you post in the "DUmp" forum too? nt

[ronnykmarshall]

59. I thought you knew everything?

My, my, my. How the mighty spy has fallen!

[mckeown1128]

60. I bet they sit around and bitch about me.

I sure hope they do. :evilgrin:

[ronnykmarshall]

61. I'm sure you do.

[Cant trust em]

23. Nowhere in here does it mention Clinton

I wouldn't be surprised at all if this were funded by Republicans.

[mckeown1128]

28. That is ridiculous... why would they do that?

Why only Nevada? Why only Obama? Wouldn't it make sense that someone competing against Obama in Nevada would do that?

[charlie]

35. It was Elvis

The King don't like nobody with any kinda star power horning in on his home turf. That's right mama, uh-huhn, uh-huhn, uh-huhn.

[Cant trust em]

37. it does make sense that Clinton would do it

that's why I wouldn't be surprised if it actually WAS republicans who were behind it. They can have it both ways. Tarnish both Obama and Clinton and not get blamed for it.

I don't put anything past these guys. My point is that there are two groups right now that have an interest in bashing Obama.

[mckeown1128]

39. Except as someone pointed out... same time

Bob Kerrey had his similar incident... and if it where a Republican created call... wouldnt' Fox News have picked up on the robocall and bashed Hillary for weeks about it. They didnt' and that is evidence to support that it wasn't Rove made.

[Cant trust em]

43. You're saying that since Clinton-D made the call

they didn't know about it and didn't report it. Essentially, if it were created by republicans then it would have been leaked and Fox would have killed her for it? Hmmm. It's an interesting point.

[mckeown1128]

33. Also.... why would Republican's attack obama for taking money

from "lobbyists and corporate fat cats" and the oil industry.... sounds like Democratic talking points to me... not Republican talking points.

[Two Americas]

51. agreed

Amazing isn't it? "It couldn't possibly be the Republicans doing dirty tricks - it must be Clinton!"

[Maddy McCall]

30. No one expects you to be loving. Minimal civility would suffice.

Civility shows maturity, though, so I understand why some of y'all are incapable of it.

[Cali_Democrat]

32. It's just soo Rovian. Remember what McCain went through in 2000?

[mckeown1128]

38. It's upsetting to see a Democrat use those tactics. nt

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

40. also, she keeps pooping on my face

[RememberWellstone]

44. That is his name?

Gotta be named something, I would think this is muc to do about nothing except those who support the war and think he is tied to Saddam Hussein. That is his name , he should be proud of it and not hide. Using this for fodder is gonna happen now and in the GE if he were to win the primary. He'd better get used to it.

[Cant trust em]

46. My last name is Low, I'm chinese

You can bet that when I was a kid I got made fun of that name all the time. There are some lame jokes to be made. Of course I'm not ashamed of my Chinese heritage, but when someone uses something about you as a negative, you get defensive. You can bet that I had some snappy retorts handy. That's all these talking points are. When someone is trying to use Hussein as a negative against Obama he had better have some kind of response.

[mckeown1128]

50. So it's ok to you that Hillary is using Obama's middle name...

to get out the biggot vote? Is it justified to you because the Republicans will do it anyway?

[RememberWellstone]

54. No, it's busting the bubble.

Taking away their ammo against him. Think about it, if it does'nt bother Obama then it should'nt bother those who support him. No reason to hide anything because there is nothing to hide. Understand? Rethugs will throw the kitchen sink, the stove, the refridge they will push this in the GE..get used to it and have an answer imo.

[mckeown1128]

55. Ohh. so Hillary can use every dirty tactic....

just because the GOP will... O...K.. gotcha.

[Tinksrival]

47. So many to choose from.........

Do we know the story on this:

[crankychatter]

62. What's funny about the attackers of this post...

it's the same dozen people who, if they were honest...

would admit they wouldn't care if it WAS Clinton's Camp that did this...

they'd just repeat their usual tactics of "Well Obama does the same stuff... and it IS HIS NAME, after all, and BLAH BLAH BLAH..."

abjectly pathetic... and they wonder why we question their Democratic loyalties when they act like scandal-mongering Limbaugh Parrots.
