Hillary did a great job on Leno tonight. Warm, personable...

[Maddy McCall]

even self-effacing at times.

The audience was very responsive. They applauded her when she said that the nomination process shouldn't stop until everyone who wants to vote has voted.

They applauded her numerous times.

No one booed her. No one screamed "Obama!"

Must have been no DUers there.

:)

[my3boyz]

1. So in other words she put on her best acting job! She had

me fooled a few times when she was all nice and sweet! Then a few minutes later the fangs come out! She is pathetic.

[emilyg]

2. aww - shutup

[AX10]

3. Can Obamanation let us have one positive post about Hillary?

[PoliticalAmazon]

86. As long as it's true, sure. If we want Hillary's BS spin, we can go to the source. n/t

[my3boyz]

10. Oh please! You shut the hell up!

[Maddy McCall]

11. Are you actually raising children?

With the kind of immaturity you've demonstrated in this thread, good luck!

[ScottS]

22. You're one to talk...

[sniffa]

42. *snort*

:thumbsup:

[rodeodance]

50. Thanks for the bump

[Maddy McCall]

56. Ditto my remark to that one you replied to.

Imagine the drama about 3 months from now.

:eyes:

[rodeodance]

57. ha ha ---I so want to see it. -ha ha

[Maddy McCall]

60. So do I.

Imagine them doing to each other what they do to others at DU.

That day is coming. :rofl:

[rodeodance]

66. Total meltdown!!

[mtnsnake]

84. Maximum implosion!!

On its way!

[LostinVA]

63. Would you care to explain the statement calling the OP a bad mother?

[Maddy McCall]

64. They hit me where they can.

And, besides, "practice kitty" approves of this message.

:silly:

[rodeodance]

72. I am sorry to see such low blows from BO fans.

[JoFerret]

36. Thanks for keeping the thread up top

Shout shut up again.

[Deep13]

46. That's what you all really want isn't it.

No dissent: the Obama way. Sorry, but this is still America.

[ronnykmarshall]

82. Fuck off.

Asshole.

[polpilot]

38. Sniper jokes? Laughing about lying. Funny stuff. I'll bet at the Clinton household Lewinsky jokes

are funny, too.

[rodeodance]

48. She knows how to deal with bullies.

[stevietheman]

58. Hillary IS the bully. The bully who laughs off lies and serious questions. n/t

n/t

[rodeodance]

67. too bad the audiance loved the jokes. ha ha.

[stevietheman]

95. They were laughing at her. n/t

n/t

[LisaM]

73. That's three gratuitous sniper references today!

The playbook has been handed out.....

[PoliticalAmazon]

81. Especially on the night before anniversary of MLK sniper-murder! Insensitive, bad taste. n/t

[Deep13]

45. You are pathetic.

"The fangs?" You mean she didn't act all demure like a proper lady? At least her supporters know she is running for office and he have not been sucked into the cult of that empty suit you support.

[CoffeeCat]

4. Warm? Personable?

Maybe she should embark on an acting career after the primary is finished.

She's obviously got some talent in the acting department.

[Yurovsky]

96. She's as warm and personable as a scorpion ...

well, that's probably not being very fair to scorpions.

[leftstreet]

5. Maybe the audience thought it was a Stupid Human Trick

...that anyone could be so crass as to joke about fabricating a sniper fire incident.

Pfft.

[Maddy McCall]

6. I'm sure the audience was smart enough to realize that they were at Leno, not Letterman.

:eyes:

[leftstreet]

18. My mistake. Must have been Ask The Fruitcake Lady

[rodeodance]

52. Another IMMATURE BO fan name-calling.

[Whisp]

19. there may have been 'loyalty oaths' involved for the audience. nt

[rodeodance]

70. The BO cult does not sign a pledge--they just follow like Sheepies--Swooning all the way.

[Catherine Vincent]

7. I liked the loud applause from the audience when she said she was

safe and sound here (after her sniper joke). :)

[Maddy McCall]

8. Yes, and when she talked about Chelsea being "a smart girl"

after Leno mentioned Chelsea saying that her mom would be an even better president than her dad.

The audience was very welcoming to her. I was very impressed with the whole segment.

[lumberjack_jeff]

9. I'll watch it tomorrow.

So when does the ritualistic burning of Jay Leno's effigy begin?

[pettypace]

12. good for Leno on calling her out on Michigan

Hill brought up the point that Obama had the chance to be on the ballot, so Leno retorts the fact that the votes wouldn't count - Hill says she's doesn't want to talk about it further, and is only concerned with having the delegates seated.

Wtf, it takes a comedian to bring up Hill's duplicity on Michigan. This is just as bad as her fabricating sniper fire.

Other than that, she did well.

[Maddy McCall]

14. You must have been watching another show.

Because she completely, thoroughly answered his question on MI and FL. She didn't back away at all.

[rodeodance]

71. Hillary cares about MI and FL voters while BO disses them. That is a powerful message.

[PoliticalAmazon]

88. Obama has NEVER dissed voters. EVER. That's Hillary's Bush-style tactic....

If you have to lie to support your candidate, perhaps you have the wrong candidate.

[mtnsnake]

13. Hillary was great. You could just tell the crowd loved her by the warm reception she got

You could tell Jay loved her, too. Smart man

[Beregond2]

15. !

Gasp! Hillary dared to appear on Leno's show, when he's such a raging homophobe? Clearly this was a calculated message to her conservative supporters...:sarcasm:

[whatchamacallit]

16. What do you expect from Jay's mostly repuke audience?

Of course the fat squishy middle american brain loves her.

[Prophet 451]

17. Last line was a cheap shot

Y'know, not all of us supporting Obama think Hillary is evil incaranate.

[mtnsnake]

21. The truth isn't cheap.n/t

[ScottS]

23. Oh, grow up.

[global1]

20. So I Guess Now That Hillary Will Accept An Appearance On The Hardball......

College Tourm - so Matthews can snipe her.

[GrandmaJones7]

24. She will go ALL THE WAY!

-for the WIN!

[bowens43]

32. Shee's not going to win the nomination . so what is it she's going to win?

[JoFerret]

37. The election in 2012

possibly. After four years of McCain she will REALLY be needed.

[cali]

39. nope. even if McCain wins this year- and I don't think he will-

she won't be the choice of dems in 2012. She's burning too many bridges.

[rodeodance]

74. Your premise is wrong. DENVER----HERE WE COME

[MadBadger]

25. She screwed up by even talking about Bosnia. That will be the lead story tomorrow.

[mtnsnake]

26. It'll be the lead story in a positive way instead of the way you're dreaming up

[GarbagemanLB]

27. There is nothing 'positive' about a story you clearly made up. No one believes the 'misspoke' excuse

[Madam Mossfern]

34. Her joking about the sniper fire

was a mild version of the same type of 'humor' as Bush's little 'joke' about searching for the weapons of mass destruction. Yeah, I know, I have no sense of humor. :sarcasm:

[musicblind]

28. I agree. NYT's as a pretty positive article about it on their front page. NYTs makes her look human

personable, and funny in the article. Positive publicity you can't buy.


Though I honestly don't think it will be enough to stop the leaking due to the Bosnia gaff. ... :(



Oh well, President Obama will be nice too.

[PoliticalAmazon]

90. Nothing positive about a sniping "joke" the day before MLK sniper-murder anniversary. n/t

[loveangelc]

29. Yay Hill!!! Fired up and Ready for the lady!!! Hill yes!!!

She got no boos!!! Applause even!! Woohoo!!!!!!

:woohoo: :applause: :woohoo: :applause: :woohoo: :applause:

[Forkboy]

30. Dumb joke, but the rest was fine.

[bowens43]

31. Which Hillary was on?

[rodeodance]

49. The Hillary most of know--and she had a national audience that loved it. suck on that.

[SOS]

78. The Hillary most of us know...

Is that the ebullient New Hampshire Hillary or the angry "shame on you" Ohio Hillary?
:shrug:

[shaniqua6392]

33. I thought she did a great job too, Maddy.

I am not sure why everyone criticizes her for wanting everyone to have the chance to vote. I thought we were Democrats. I guess some are willing to throw the process of voting right out the window in order to seal the nomination of Obama. I figure if they were so sure that he is going to win, they would just sit back and relax and let people vote.

[Apollo11]

35. I found the video of this on YouTube

I posted it over on the Political Videos Forum. Here's the link:

www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x114288

I agree that Hillary did a good job. She seems to be likeable enough! B-)

[susankh4]

40. She was fabulous!

[MethuenProgressive]

41. She was terrific!

I always like people unafriad to laugh at themselves!

[AllentownJake]

43. To bad

She can't be that person a majority of the time if that's who she really is....I might have supporterd her.

I wouldn't boo a democrat if I saw them in person unless they said something crazy.

[DemVet]

44. In other words, the audience had a little class....unlike a lot of Obama people here

[PoliticalAmazon]

91. Pardon; it's not Obama supporters who have to lie to suppor their candidate. n/t

[Deep13]

47. She is warm and personable.

It is possible for someone to be entirely likeable but still have a critical mind and be aggressive on the campaign trail.

[merh]

51. yeah, I hear she has alread been nomintated for an emmy

for her performance. :rofl:
























:hide:





:evilgrin: couldn't resist

[easy_b94]

53. Warm???? You mean Ice cold????

[rodeodance]

68. No. that WORT game is owned by BO (What Obama Really Meant)--

[Upton]

54. She lied again

blaming her Bosnia lie on having a case of faulty memory due to her grueling campaign schedule.

[Bonobo]

55. You mean they ignored all those "DO NOT APPLAUD SIGNS" that light up?

Oooos, sorry.

I made a mistake.

The light-ups signs say "APPLAUD!!" and then there's also the stage hands waving their hands and urging the audience to applaud.

Didn't you ever got a live taping of one of those things.

Hang out in front of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood someday and take a trip. It's an educational experience.

[SOS]

85. It's Pavlovian

Went to see Letterman and Lynn Cheney was a guest.
The audience (except me and my wife and a few others) applauded her entry when the sign and stagehands ordered us to applaud.
It's showbiz, not reality.

[ellisonz]

93. But but the crowd loves her!

They love everything about her. Some might say it is 'total' admiration.

;(

[AlinPA]

59. Trying to make a joke of her sniper story caused me to change channels. How in

the hell could she make a joke about an outright lie?

[rodeodance]

76. too bad you missed a it---

[LostinVA]

61. Your last line made me giggle

I forgot to DVR it -- I'm hoping it's on youtube.

[Maddy McCall]

62. Um...your sig line.

:rofl:

:yourock:

[LostinVA]

65. She made me do it!

She said if I didn't change it, she'd vote for Gravel!!!

:cry:

[amelia]

69. That last line is funny. I needed a chuckle today. Thanks

[JimGinPA]

75. Reading Through This Thread It's Obvious Lincoln Was Right...

You can fool some of the people all of the time.

[rch35]

77. mocked her own lies to make them seem less serious.

Who else does that now?

[applegrove]

79. She's personable. She comes across bettter in a personal interview

than she does during soundbites and her stump speech. She should do more interviews.

[PoliticalAmazon]

80. I didn't like her sniper joke--the eve before MLK sniper-murder anniversary...

...is insensitive and in poor taste.

[ronnykmarshall]

83. That fucking whore!

:eyes:

This place sucks ass.

[Texas Hill Country]

87. she was fantastic!

[AZBlue]

89. It's now "warm and personable" to joke about snipers?

I don't think so.

[ellisonz]

92. She really has to work at it.

[BigBearJohn]

94. I thought she was great too. I love that lady.

I truly believe the attacks of her are way overboard.
People have selective perception. (me too).
I'm not saying she's perfect. She may have lied.
Anyone who says Obama hasn't lied is full of shit.

I like both candidates; however, I like Hillary more.
Hillary is seasoned. Obama is not. He still has a lot of
growing to do. Simply stated, he needs more experience.

Obama is a motivational speaker, no doubt. And I would
have voted for him, except I don't like his voting record.
In particular, I don't like the way he voted against the
rights of babies that survived failed abortions.

Given the circumstances surround Hillary at the time she voted,
I don't blame her for her IWR vote. Had Barack been a Senator
at the time of IWR vote, I am willing to bet he would have
voted yes. You will never convince me otherwise. Looking from
the outside in, it's so easy to tell everybody what you would have
done.

What's really interesting about this place is how overboard
everyone is going. A few people here would be really
good at starting their own swiftboating advertising firm.
An intelligent mind can make a dramatic case against
anybody for anything. A human being's ability to justify his
own case is legendary. (Remember, people somehow justified
voting for George Bush in 2004.) There are no angels on this
planet... Hillary is not an evil demon, the way some of her
detractors would have us believe. However, the more vile and
vicious they can make their attack, the better drama and the
more emotion they can stir up. I'm surpirsed they don't pass
out pitchforks and torches. A little tar and feathers might
help too.

As I am typing this, though, I realize the utter futility of
doing so. Everyone here has by now made up their minds about
whom they are going to vote for. So, this board has pretty
much turned into a place where we can all spit in each other's
face. Mob mentality. Obviously there are so many more people
here who support Obama -- and they use their mass numbers as
evidence of their "rightness." Oh p'shaw. Half a planet once
agreed that the earth was the center of the universe. It didn't
make them right. And one person looked up into his telescope
and said "hey guess what? we are not the center of the universe"
and they killed him.

Sometimes I feel like that's what is going to happen to me if I
somehow disagree with the crowd here that says vote for Obama.
Granted, some of the Hillary supporters have been mean too.

Sigh.
