BO camp lets rip the Schultz “warmonger” but is SILENT on Rhodes “f**k whore”


So, BO camp fells it necessary to publicly speak out and defend a Repug but is silent when it comes to defending a Democrat against a smear!

McCain Called a ‘Warmonger’ at Obama Appearance

By Larry Rohter
Ed SchultzEd Schultz (Photo: Dave Samson/Associated Press)

UPDATE | 2:35 p.m. MISSOULA, Mont. — On the air, Ed Schultz, a liberal talk show host based in Fargo, N.D., is well-known for his blunt criticisms of the Bush Administration and the Republican Party. But Mr. Schultz, a fervent supporter of Senator Barack Obama, may have gone too far late Friday when he called Senator John McCain “a warmonger.”

Mr. Schultz, whose program is syndicated nationally, made the remarks while revving up a group of Obama supporters at a $100-a-head fund raiser at the North Dakota Democratic Party’s convention in Grand Forks. As soon as the Republican National Committee got word of the attack, it issued a statement lambasting Mr. Schultz and calling on Mr. Obama to repudiate the characterization of the presumptive Republican nominee for President.

“Enough is enough,” said Robert M. Duncan, the chairman of the Republican National Committee. “Senator Obama has an obligation to speak out and publicly reject and denounce — not applaud — the shameful and contemptible remarks made by his surrogates.”

………

Mr. Obama did not refer to the incident during a speech Saturday morning to 8,000 people who had gathered at the University of Montana basketball arena. But a spokesman, Jen Psaki, issued a statement that distanced him from Mr. Schultz.

“John McCain is not a warmonger and should not be described as such,” she said. “He’s a supporter of a war that Senator Obama believes should have never been authorized and never been waged.” ………

1. BO Camp: Imus BAD! Wright SAINT!

Nothing new from them.

[rodeodance]

7. no, but I find it ironic that BO camp defends a Repug but not a Democrat.

[tekisui]

34. How do you know Obama's Camp didn't have a say in Randi's suspension?

[rodeodance]

62. link??---or just out straws???

[tekisui]

84. We don't know who pushed the suspension, do we?

I'm just asking. It's possible it could have been Obama, Clinton, or just AAR.

[rodeodance]

87. ha--the Obama camp has been silent. It s possibe the sky might fall also.

[tekisui]

88. I'm just sayin'

They probably didn't want to be associated with it. I could see them getting in front, and quietly calling for a suspension. I would have if I were in Camp Obama.

But, yeah, I have no idea. I would like to know who pushed for it. I doubt AAR did it on their own,.

[rodeodance]

99. AA is in business. They are smart enough to know that it was a horrible smear.

[Hutzpa]

190. You want Obama to reject

and denounce Ed Shultz for calling McCain a warmonger

what I'm i missing....:shrug:

[mckeown1128]

130. shultz is a democrat. nt

[rodeodance]

140. I did not say he wasn't. Pay attention--the Democrat in question & the OP is HRC.

97. you really open yourself up. hill voted for it and funded it. try another

tactic that won't shred your own candidate.

[rodeodance]

3. I find it beyond disgusting!

[Cooley Hurd]

5. Big Eddie was speaking at an Obama event, Randi wasn't...

Don't let facts get in your way, Evergreen...:eyes:

[rodeodance]

8. Randi event was advertized on BO website blog--BO fans in audiance

[Cooley Hurd]

10. Link to the ad?

:shrug:

It was an AAR affiliate event - NOT an Obama event.

[rodeodance]

19. here------

[Cooley Hurd]

21. Thanks, Ms. Emerald...

:D

[rodeodance]

30. you are confused?--or just stupid?

[Cooley Hurd]

39. Neither...

:D

[rodeodance]

59. then stop the name-calling --its RUDE

Ms. Emerald...

[Cooley Hurd]

70. And calling me stupid isn't?

:rofl:

Sometimes, you're your own worst enemy.:D

[rodeodance]

93. you done this before and you know it.

[Cooley Hurd]

95. Done what, pray tell?

:o

[rodeodance]

104. calling me MS Emerld!!--you know that is not my screenname, yet you insult me.

[Cooley Hurd]

111. How is that insulting?

"Triad" as I might, I guess I'll never win you over to Obama.:D

[rodeodance]

114. get a grip--that is NOT my name. You are beyond looking foolish

[Cooley Hurd]

116. It's not your name... right now...

;)

[rodeodance]

119. and yet more foolishness!! care to discuss the OP or just name call some more???

It's not your name... right now...

[Cooley Hurd]

128. The OP's been discussed ad nauseum...

...and debunked roundly.

Let's talk about Lambchop:


:rofl: Like shooting fish in a barrel.:D

[rodeodance]

132. You use you energy name calling instead of figuring out the thesis of the OP.

The OP's been discussed ad nauseum...

...and debunked roundly.

Let's talk about Lambchop:

[Cooley Hurd]

137. Remember the Pets.com dog?

That was a helluva sockpuppet!:D

[TTUBatfan2008]

165. That's like advertising on DU...

Obama doesn't control what people post in the open community blog. If you actually read his community blogs, you'd realize this b/c there's plenty of Hillary supporters that go on there stirring up trouble and they rarely get silenced, unlike at Hillary's blog where any non-positive comment towards her is immediately deleted. Obama's community blog is essentially a free-for-all and has nothing to do with his actual campaign. Get a clue.

[dchill]

172. Stop the misrepresentation, YOUR link proves you wrong.

SOLD OUT: An Evening with Randi Rhodes (Obama supporter) (Meeting)

*To folks wondering the Obama campaign was somehow affiliated with this event, please know that it was in no way sanctioned, authorized, or endorsed by the Obama for America campaign. This was a fundraiser put together by a San Francisco radio station (you can see their explanation of the event here www.green360.com ). This website is one of hundreds of thousands of user-generated websites you can make on My.BarackObama.com.*

No need to apologize - just don't do this anymore. Randi was wrong to do what she did, but she was wrong all on her own. And, the event you linked to is NOT the one being "discussed."

This is a copy/paste of a reply I made in another thread. I'll be glad to use it again.

[nichomachus]

37. What???

BO fans in audiance

Get a freaking grip. He has to apologize for things people say if Obama fans are merely in the audience? That's stretching reality pretty far.

And why are Obama supporters "fans," which implies superficiality, but Hillary's people are "supporters?"

Hillary's supporters are her worst enemies. They are making her look very bad. I'm uncommitted at this point, and started out leaning toward Hillary, but I'm getting very turned off by what I'm seeing from her supporters.

[rodeodance]

54. of course BO fans --or supporters if you wish were in the audiance.

[nichomachus]

108. I'm still not sure

Why he has to apologize for things that are said by someone else in the presence of his followers.

The other day, I told my neighbor -- a Hillary supporter -- that I thought Bush was a traitor and should be tried and hung. Does Hillary need to apologize for me, simply because a Hillary supporter heard me say it?

That's the stupidest idea I've ever heard.

[rodeodance]

115. Don't put words into my mouth. I did not ask BO to apologize!!

I'm still not sure

[Pirate Smile]

27. Actually, it was a fundraiser for the North Dakota Democratic Party

not the Obama Campaign.

"And contrary what McCain said, Shultz's remark wasn't technically part of Obama's campaign; it came at a fundraiser for the North Dakota Democratic Party, which Obama attended."

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/04/05/863058.aspx#comments

[mmonk]

183. A rational post in a weak hit thread.

:thumbsup:

[goldcanyonaz]

6. Because Obama probably feels the same way. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Sweetie!

[NJmaverick]

15. That sure sounds like a remark that has sexist motives

You are making a rather unsavory accusation with out a shred of evidence or proof. Worse the only motives to make such an accusation would be sexist and bigotted, ie Obama is also a man and all men are sexist. So shame one you!

[goldcanyonaz]

31. Shame on me, coming from you? BWAHAHAHAHA.

[NJmaverick]

40. Shame on you for your sexist attacks on men

shame on you! Your claim that all men are sexist is sexist and bigotted. Now I see you are going after me for being a man, I can see where you are coming from... a very dark place

[beachmom]

153. No, he doesn't feel that way. Otherwise Michelle never would have married him.

She wouldn't put up with that kind of crap thinking in her husband.

[Fermezlabush]

9. RNC demanded an apology. DNC is fine with f*ing whores

I am starting to see what the "family values" claims are based on :sarcasm:

[rodeodance]

121. well, we know the DNC and DEAN endorse Obama so of course it was OK with them.

[jefferson_dem]

11. I stopped reading after I saw "BO".

Dead-giveaway that what's to follow is nothing but a petty smear piece.

[Fermezlabush]

16. So, now posting initials - first and third - is also bad?

[Bolo Boffin]

49. It connotates a vile racial meme from the South.

Growing up in the South, I heard it a lot and find it deplorable that this reference is allowed to flourish here at DU. This is only because people might be unaware of it, but it is code for this awful meme.

I don't believe the OP or anyone else here is doing this on purpose, mind you. I think this is an unwitting thing. But it is definitely being used by racists in this country, and DU should back away from it.

Obama is just three more letters to type. In the interest of civility, no one should think that typing three more letter is onerous.

[boston bean]

73. What deplorable racist meaning does BO have. I really have no idea. TIA

[rodeodance]

75. I think they are making things up--

[Bolo Boffin]

161. Nope. n/t

[DRoseDARs]

182. After 2649 submissions between 1999 and 2008, the Racial Slur Database says you're full of shit.

http://racialslurs.org/

As does Merriam-Webster:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/BO

[ekwhite]

120. That's a new one to me

I grew up in North Carolina. The only negative I can think of is that BO used to be short for "body odor." I don't get the racial meme associated with that, sorry.

[jefferson_dem]

86. I wouldn't say it's "bad"...

Just an indication of the oft-irrational biases of the poster in question.

[Bolo Boffin]

25. Does the OP (and others) know how offensive that is?

I would hate to think so, and won't say that they are doing it on purpose until they profess awareness of it. It's a vile racial smear that's being invoked by using those initials against him, and I just won't accuse someone here of it unless they realize the connotations.

[rodeodance]

35. no one told me that. Shall I change to BHO

[Bolo Boffin]

52. Of course not. I believe you completely. How about using Obama?

Obama is just two letters more than your compromise. It's his last name. In the interest of civility, can't you just use his last name?

[rodeodance]

69. If you promise not use crap names for Hillary--or shrllbots or hillbots

or anything along those lines.

[Bolo Boffin]

159. I don't.

I actually have a bit of conscience calling her Hillary. I got into doing that back when "Clinton" mean Bill, but nowadays "Clinton" is pretty clearly Senator Clinton, and not her husband.

[jefferson_dem]

79. You will be changing it to "Democratic Party Nominee" very soon.

What then, evergreen?

[rodeodance]

96. "What then, evergreen?"--- Are you confused?--that is not my screenname

[anamandujano]

167. That's too long to type, how about "loser?"

[jefferson_dem]

185. Check your avatar, silly.

You know...Mark Penn's "girl".

[PBS Poll-435]

98. BO = Body Odor, right?

Or is there some other "vial racial smear.?"

[Bolo Boffin]

160. That's it.

Most people wouldn't realize it. I'm absolutely convinced that people here aren't doing this on purpose.

But it is out there.

[PBS Poll-435]

171. How is it racial? At all?

Matthew Mcconaughey proudly doesn't wear deodorant. I am sure his "bo" is off the charts....

[Bolo Boffin]

175. I've explained this several times on this thread and another.

Clearly you can follow the conversation.

As I have said, this is something that I don't think people are actually meaning to imply here at DU. I am making you aware of how it is code for a racial meme.

Joke about this all you want, but it gives me a poor opinion of your intentions to see you joking about this.

[PBS Poll-435]

179. I was just asking how is was racial code for anything.

I have never seen any conversation regarding it.

Your reaction seemed a little disproportionate, and thats why I asked you.

[Peregrine Took]

58. What??? I call Hillary "HRC" all the time - aren't those his initials??? If I

would put "BHO" I'm sure you 'bots would get highly po'd about that too!

[Lilith Velkor]

142. Yes they would

They'd say you are trying to draw attention to his middle initial.

It's just another ploy to go offtopic and personally attack the OP. Better that than discuss why Barack is sticking up for McCrazy and not HRC, right?

[Bolo Boffin]

176. I am saying that no one here is doing this intentionally. Of course they aren't!

But now that you are aware of this, why can't you just type Obama? That's his name.

[NJmaverick]

12. Hillary supporters- Don't strain yourself reaching

Geez! You crack me up with the irrational leap of logic. Schultz appeared AT AN OBAMA event. Just as McCain had to slap down the rightwing nut that attacked Obama in those vile ways, Obama felt he needed to say something about what Schultz said.


In what sort of warped bizzarro world do you Hillbots live in that makes you think Obama has to say something about every single bad thing that is said about Hillary????

Have you people completely lost it???

[Fermezlabush]

14. You mean, like Randi Rhodes appeared at an Obama event?

That kind of straining?

[NJmaverick]

17. Oh she said the "wh*re" comment while appearing for Obama?????

I didn't think so... shame on you!

[Fermezlabush]

18. Yup. It was a fundraiser for Obama.

55. OK, once again. I was at the event. 'kay?

It was a 960 Green fundraiser/promotional event here in SF. I got the link for the event HERE at DU. It was on-line reservations, a sold out event, $5 at the door (cocktails extra). Neither Obama nor Air America were mentioned. I don't give a good goddamn where it was advertised. Randi was a featured guest doing standup, off air, in support of 960 Green SF. 'kay?

The truth is already out there, so in your zeal to slice and dice keep that in mind.

[guruoo]

149. Perhaps they should have more carefully vetted their speakers, but

this certainly isn't something that would (should he win)
keep me from voting for Obama in the GE.

Still I believe that a public denunciation of these remarks
would be in your candidate's best interest.

[POAS]

33. You realize that that meme is false, right? n/t

STATEMENT OF AIR AMERICA RADIO, FROM CHAIR CHARLIE KIREKER
By air america

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 3, 2008

New York - Air America has suspended on-air host Randi Rhodes for making inappropriate statements about prominent figures, including Senator Hillary Clinton, at a recent public appearance on behalf of Air America in San Francisco which was sponsored by an Air America affiliate station.

"Air America encourages strong opinions about public affairs but does not condone such abusive, ad hominem language by our Hosts," said chair Charlie Kireker.

I came back to DU just to see how far they'd dissolve in their bitterness on this, and lo and behold the Clinton BS machine is in overdrive here at DU. The truth doesn't matter to them anymore.

But -- Obama is obligated to denounce every smear made against Hillary Clinton?

[dchill]

65. How did I know that somehow...

you'd "figure out" that this, too, is Obama's fault? Yes, and I think that it's HIGH TIME that Democrats take the moral guidance of "Robert M. Duncan, the chairman of the Republican National Committee."

Screw this. Once you start buying Republican talking points, you become something other than a Democrat. You may go.

[rodeodance]

92. The DNC supports Obama---I did not expect them to speak out re. Rhodes Democrat smear

107. "The DNC supports Obama-"

AND Clinton. Where and when did the DNC come out for or against either candidate?

[bowens43]

68. Where exactly was the smear in what she said?

[rodeodance]

74. You do not have a clue do you!!!

. Where exactly was the smear in what she said?

[Cheap_Trick]

76. and yet

which candidate said that McCain would make a "fine president"? so get your fucking panties untwisted, sit back and enjoy a nice tall cool glass of shut the fuck up.

[rodeodance]

81. Obama camp endorsed mccain now.

[Cheap_Trick]

91. not really

but if that's what it takes to help you sleep at night, you just go right ahead and believe that.

[Yael]

94. !!

:rofl:

Keep reaching. :thumbsup:

[rodeodance]

102. I wrote that to point out how ridiculous it is to

say that Clinton endorses mccain. which has been the lie BO fans
have on their tongues!!

[Yael]

133. No, I think you really believe it

There is a FAR cry between calling someone out at a sanctioned event and the candidate saying that she and McCain are ready to be president but all BO has is a speech.

I don't expect you to recognize the difference, just pointing it out.

78. He never denounced Wright saying Bill Clinton fucked black people like he fucked Monica Lewinsky

And he never denounced his pastor gyrating behind the pulpit

And he never denounced "Hillary aint never been called a n-----".

155. umm, I don't know what he heard and what he didn't hear for what he denounced and when where or why.

[mckeown1128]

187. ok... I will spell it out for you since you are playing ignorant...

Obama didn't hear in church the 1 and half minutes of controversial statements that have been cherry picked from Wright's sermons. He then heard them on tv...like we ALL did. Obama then condemns these statements... so what is the problem here.

[anonymous171]

100. Trying to create a scandal?

Why does Obama have to denounce every offensive statement made by non-surrogates while Clinton does not?

[rodeodance]

106. The Obama camp once again shows it hypocracy

[anonymous171]

109. Do you even read my response? Or even the article?

The RNC demanded that Obama denounce the statement, similiar to the way McCain denounced the use of "Hussein."

[rodeodance]

117. and BO should have denounced the smear against a Democratic Pres. Candidate.

123. Rhodes was not at an Obama campaign event. That's the difference.

131. read my OP and see if you can stay focused.

[UALRBSofL]

103. Ewwwww Good catch RodeoDance I can see the headlines tomorrow

Barak Obama Endorses Senator McCain. BO camp lets rip the Schultz “warmonger” but is SILENT on Rhodes “f**k whore”.

Some very good talking points for Clinton on the campaign trail in her stump speech.
:bounce:

[rodeodance]

110. lets hope love that photo of McCain and Obama--

[not_too_L8]

118. McCain and Hillary

[not_too_L8]

113. let's keep it in context

Schultz was at an Obama rally, Rhodes was not...that's the difference

[walldude]

124. Forget it...

Randi's not allowed her opinion, luckily she only called her a whore, has she called her sweetie they'd have hung her.


Two posts above yours the poster claims that Obama "endorsed" McCain. You can't win a debate with someone who will say anything to win. Facts are irrelevant.

[rodeodance]

147. "luckily she only called her a whore,"---your post shows your true colors

[walldude]

189. Um.. that was a knock at the "Sweetie" gate thing you guys made up

Hillary supporters equated Obama calling someone sweetie with Randi calling Hillary a whore. If you can't see the fallacy in that logic then there is no point discussing anything with you.

I've defended Hillary on many occasions and will continue to do so when I feel she's getting the short end of the stick. But don't let that stop you you little mind reader you :P

[bunnies]

162. You're exactly correct.

Anything to crucify Obama over though. Sad isnt it?

least denounced it. or his camp could have!

[Lilith Velkor]

148. Obama fans went apeshit when HRC was being factual about McCain

Even Nancy "Fuck you I won't impeach him" Pelosi felt the need to go on TV and lie about it.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander, and fairness went out the window months ago.

Welcome to DU, btw :hi:

151. warmonger n : a person who advocates war or warlike policies [syn: militarist]

[beachmom]

152. Only because somebody launched an attack. Now if Clinton attacked Obama

for what Randi Rhodes said, then you would get a statement.

[Vinca]

154. This is why the post about making nice to Clinton supporters is useless.

There are diehard Clinton supporters who will continue to spew garbage until they drag Hillary kicking and screaming out of the convention.

[UALRBSofL]

157. Obama's endorsement of McCain and Getty Images

[Vinca]

158. Obama's endorsement of McCain? Did you miss your last meds?

That's preposterous and I don't get your pictures at all.

So, BO camp fells it necessary to publicly speak out and defend a Repug but is silent when it comes to defending a Democrat against a smear!

[TTUBatfan2008]

163. Schultz said it at an event for Obama...

Randi said it at an event not affiliated with Obama. If you understood the difference, perhaps you'd realize this is a non-issue.

166. All candidates are required to denounce and reject all nasty remarks

about an opposing candidate made anywhere by anybody else, no matter how remotely associated (if at all) with the candidate about whom the nasty remarks were NOT made so the opposing candidate's supporters don't get their feelings hurt.

That's the rule this year, I guess.

[Duder]

168. Yeah, they should issue a statement

"We reject that Hillary's a big fucking whore."

[cooolandrew]

169. Randi meant sell out and most folks know that. HRC campaign is in debt but has millions of her own.

So given that is she good with your money or her own.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

170. I'm not even sure what your point is....

First of all, Obama didn't "rip" Schultz. A campaign spokesman said that Obama didn't agree with the characterization and that was that. Obama's language regarding Schultz was much milder than McCain's language in reference to Bill Cunningham, a radio personality who introduced McCain at a rally in Cincinnati in February.

And why would Obama address Randi Rhodes' statements? Schultz was acting in the campacity of a quasi-spokesman for the campaign and at an Obama campaign event. If he said somethign impolitic, then it's up to Obama and his campaign to address it. Randi was doing stand-up at an event no sponsored by any candidate or campaign.

[kwenu]

174. How is the "fucking whore" comment related to BO? What's the connection?

[AX10]

181. Eddie Schultz is a mediawhore.

[quakerboy]

186. I know a guy

He supports McCain. He also is a real dick to his family. McCain should appologize for hating families.
