Why IS Hillary afraid to go on Matthews' College Hardball Tour?

[scheming daemons]

Is she perhaps afraid of what she might be asked by 18-22 year olds in an unscripted environment without her "plants"?

Is she afraid of Tweety?


Obama did it. McCain's doing it in two weeks.

What are you afraid of Hillary?

[musicblind]

1. Because Tweety has shown a horrible bias against her that not only

Hillary supporters have noticed but the rest of the media has picked up on it as well. It would be like Bush going on The Daily Show. It would be a stupid idea, and I wouldn't EVER think it should be expected of him to do so. Likewise it shouldn't be expected of Hillary to go on a show hosted by the person she turned down for Press Secretary and who then held a grudge against her and has even had to apologize on air for his behavior towards her.

6. Has he shown a greater bias against her than RM Scaife? The guy who accused her of murder?

She can have a lengthy interview with the man who spent millions trying to convince America that she murdered Vince Foster, but she can't sit down with Tweety and a bunch of college kids?

Sorry.... doesn't wash.

9. If she did CHOOSE to go a different show that has a bias against her but not this one that is still

her choice. Since the show has an obvious bias against her it makes her void of any obligation or expectation to appear on it. My example still stands. However I am familiar with your posts, and aware that I will not be able to change your mind no matter what I say. I have never seen you back down before, and nothing anyone could ever ever say would "wash" with you.

10. It's only going to hurt her more..... the College Tour is popular among the college aged.....

..

But I understand that young people are not part of her base..... so it doesn't surprise me that she's ignoring them.

[musicblind]

25. idk, I'm a young person and so are my friends who support her. I don't feel that ignored

:shrug:

Though I admit, Obama has a stronger youth following than she does.

11. YEP!! ROFLMAO

Perfect.

[Raine]

18. but yet she goes on faux

hmmmmmmmmmmmm :shrug:

2. Matthews ain't nuthin' but shit. Nobody outside of his 200 listeners cares if Clinton appears.

[BenDavid]

3. excuse me but the screamer has shown his distain and his sexist

remarks about HRC in many of his statements. of course obama went on there. hell who wouldn't when the screamer gets a thrill in his leg when he hears obama talk. and of course the screamer is still pissed that bill did not hire him as press sect. but hired Joe Lockhart.....

7. But she has time for RM Scaife? Sorry... doesn't wash...

...

21. She was interviewed by the EDITORIAL BOARD,

and scaife is a member. They were all civil toward her, in case you didn't notice.

Matthews is another story entirely.

4. I really, really doubt she's afraid of him.

Do you think she has her campaign planned with spots she wants to visit when she wants to visit them?

[marlakay]

5. I don't remember where but I heard some

kids booed her recently. She is probably afraid of that. Kids aren't worried about being PC.

[TSIAS]

8. She prefers the "Fair and Balanced" network

[eleny]

12. She's holding out for an invitation from Larry King

He'll ask her how she managed to duck all that sniper fire in Bosnia.

[SunsetDreams]

14. actually...Larry King has invited her

she has yet to accept the invitation, he was talking about it the other night.

[eleny]

22. not even larry?

[SaveOurDemocracy]

13. Duh ... Tweety's ALL about his man-crush on Obama AND

McCain. He's never been honest and objective about Hillary ... in fact, he's famous for his bias AGAINST Hillary Clinton. Why should she bother to appear as a guest and promote his idiot show??

[SunsetDreams]

15. all the more reason,

it takes courage to go on a show with those who don't agree with you. I guess she doesn't want to face that down.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

19. LOLLLLLL ... BS!

Hillary's faced down bigger clowns than Tweety.

[SunsetDreams]

23. lol

then why is she not going on there?

[elleng]

20. If the person disagreeing is likely to be civil,

she'd probably accept and not be concerned about the disagreements.

[SunsetDreams]

24. ...

never know until you try

[ZombieHorde]

16. Because she is afraid of snakes.

Just having a little fun.

17. sniper fire...n/t
