Clinton has NO shame. Her camp passes out I'm not bitter stickers, but claims it is "grassroots

[jezebel]

outrage".
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/04/12/882730.aspx

In Goldsboro, close observers noticed a (light) smattering of stickers being worn by attendees. "I'm not bitter!" read the simple rectangular label on the lapels of a couple dozen in the crowd. The campaign says that the stickers are evidence of outrage at the grassroots level.

Yet it's unclear how spontaneous the sentiment was. A boxful of the stickers was spotted at Clinton's first event of the day -- being whisked backstage.

-------------------------------

She makes me sick.

[JVS]

1. Was the pot and pan brigade wearing these stickers?

[flor de jasmim]

2. Purple heart bandaids revisited... she (or a significant supporter) has no shame

Just another page from the Republican playbook.

[Liberal Gramma]

3. Oh, yuck! That's no better than the purple heart bandages the Reps had at their convention

How low can you go?

[PBS Poll-435]

11. Oh...Right

Because making fun of somebody's Purple Heart (a honor recognizing injuries sustained during military service,) is exactly the same as someone jumping on an opponent's word gaffe.

Puhhleeeze

[VolcanoJen]

How about this: Clinton camp gets busted lying again.

"Grassroots?"

Puhhleeeeze.

[PBS Poll-435]

53. Just keep spamming.

[VolcanoJen]

68. Really got me there.

Are you capable of formulating an argument?

[PBS Poll-435]

75. Are you capable of addressing what I posted?

If I want to hear your thoughts on why you think "she lied!, she lied!, she lied!," I will ask you.

:freak:

[VolcanoJen]

82. Ummm... this is a message board.

We don't ask each other for opinions, anecdotes, what have you. We post them for all to read.

Not really a tricky concept when you think about it.

[PBS Poll-435]

84. I know what it is SmartyPantz!

What I don't know is why, if you were responding to my post, you didn't address anything that I had said.

Instead, you post something else...

[VolcanoJen]

85. SmartyPantz?

:rofl:

[dchill]

80. Snappy rejoinder, Ace!

Way to go! You're really getting the message out! :shrug:

[KittyWampus]

78. Mayhill Fowler Secretly Taped PRIVATE/CLOSED Obama Fundraiser Where "Bitter" Happened (She's A Plant

this is a set up by Clinton.

[PBS Poll-435]

81. The Puppet Obama

Was ordered to use words that he would later admit were not productive...

[VolcanoJen]

83. She's a plant?

For real? I hadn't heard of the Huff Post blogger who posted the audio before... interesting!

[Voice for Peace]

94. Crabgrassroots. nt

[dchill]

86. No two things are exactly alike.

But it's close enough to get the desired reaction, I guess. One of these days, you will wonder why you never questioned Clinton and McCain agreeing on so many ideas and tactics.

[PBS Poll-435]

88. Right...

[dchill]

93. "Clinton/McCain '08"

"Experience you can be bitter about!"

[PBS Poll-435]

95. But remember....

I'm Not Bitter!

[Yael]

96. Then that means you aren't paying attention...

[PBS Poll-435]

97. No...

I am outraged, I am just not bitter.




If You’re Not Outraged, You’re Not Paying Attention

[dchill]

108. Ahhhh!

Semantics! How refreshing.

[PBS Poll-435]

113. If someone is going to attempt to quote a cliche...

They should probably get it right...

[dchill]

122. Yes you are.

[Liberal Gramma]

90. How happy would you be to see Obama passing out sniper-fire stickers?

It's low.

[dansolo]

109. It is making fun of the people who ARE bitter

There may be some people who are still under a delusion that everything is fine in the world. But I can guarantee that there are a lot of people who truly are very bitter, and the more this drags on, the angrier they are going to get with Hillary, who seems to be disregarding them. Instead of "I feel your pain", she is laughing at it.

[PBS Poll-435]

115. Bitter is not productive.

Bitter is not war wounds.

(Then again...Maybe it could be...teehee)

[AZBlue]

114. That is EXACTLY what it is!

I'm so disgusted!!

[PBS Poll-435]

119. But are you bitter about it?

[Demeter]

4. Purple Heart Bandaids--Part 2

How disgusting that woman's campaign has been, and it's not getting any better.

[Nedsdag]

70. It's too bad I cannot use the "b" word to describe what

this woman is doing.

She makes me sick, she and her stupid husband and her snobby daughter and her ridiculous supporters.

I hope, if sadly she gets the nomination, she gets her head handed to her. If it means sacrificing the Supreme Court, then whatever will be will be. The Democrats and this country will get what they deserve.

[Yael]

5. Oh, this is classic

She doesn't know the difference between grass roots and 'I need new highlights put in' roots.

[Bensthename]

6. Clinton/McCain '08 Wars, Lies, and Sex in the WH for you..

[cali]

7. the hillary camp sucks at this stuff

they're so transparent and phony.

[VolcanoJen]

32. Ready from Day One to run the Lamest Presidential Campaign in History

Good gawd, it's fun to watch them get busted lying. Again. And again.

[anonymous171]

8. Disgusting.

[Life Long Dem]

9. OMG!

How about they stick with shrub and we'll have Obama.

[DarienComp]

10. pathetic.

She and her supporters have graduated from misguided to "backwash".

[azmouse]

12. Hillary is disgusting.

If she had any decency at all she would put a stop to this.

It's just as disgusting as the purple heart Bandaid of *'s people. Of course, HRC is more GOP than Democrat.

[livetohike]

13. No more Mark Penn and she's sinking fast

She's still running for Jr. High School council president, I guess.

[Yael]

19. She was up at 3am making buttons

http://youtube.com/watch?v=rleUPHX8yfM

[livetohike]

27. Oh my......that was cute!

:-)

[JVS]

30. "No, it didn't bother me at all" = "I'm not bitter"

[tammywammy]

66. Cute!

[Hepburn]

14. I used to just dislike her....

now I fucking hate her. She is just so freaking evil.

JMHO

[leftofcool]

15. I am so getting one ot these

[Life Long Dem]

24. What's next Hillary? "I love Bush" stickers!

[dchill]

77. And I'm NOT getting one.

I AM a bitter small-town Pennsylvanian, and I'm anything but alone here. This is one more gambit from the real elitist, out-of-touch Clinton/McCain '08 Campaign that is just a cynical, transparent distraction-projection. It will fly just as well as the other attacks. Clinton working in concert with John McCain and the Republican Party is a little too transparent - even for us bitter folks who have had enough lies.

[indie_voter]

16. How did she get them made so fast? This broke yesterday afternoon didn't it? n/t

[AllentownJake]

25. Because

They had the tape Monday morning. Cafta and Snipergate II were causing her too many problems so they dropped their election surprise a week early.

[Tresalisa]

63. Wow!

I was skeptical when I saw the earlier post that this was, in fact, her campaign's 'bombshell', but I think it really was. It's politics, yeah, but I also find it a little creepy.

[Connie_Corleone]

They probably knew about this in advance since the audio was a week old.

All of a sudden, a week-old conversation is made public on Huffington Post yesterday?? Yeah, right.

[AllentownJake]

28. Well

The Bomb they were planning for next Friday had to be released early.

[indie_voter]

38. you're probably right. n/t

[Life Long Dem]

46. I had that feeling myself.

The one who submitted it said she didn't want to hurt Obama, but then thought and thought about it and then turned it in. If you didn't want to hurt Obama, then why do that later? No sense.

[AllentownJake]

54. She was a plant

Please...who walks around with tape recorders in their purses other than John Goodman in drag (Linda Trip reference)

I love Obama...but he kind of should have known better than to be hanging around the Hillary base to begin with. Should have known one of those big donors would fuck him.

[Life Long Dem]

76. Yeah.

She was a spy then. Damn. I knew about the recorder but underhanded like that.

[indie_voter]

57. I hope somebody investigates this. This doesn't make any sense. n/t

[Life Long Dem]

29. Remember the plant in PA they shipped to Mexico? That's where she got them. n/t

Not really but wonder.

[crankychatter]

31. great question, and it's evidence this was their last minute "bombshell"

They'll have to invent something else now

someday those stickers will be collectables

like "tippicanoe and tyler too"

you'll see them on Ebay

[KittyWampus]

105. exactly, this is a Clinton set-up. The bumperstickers PROVE it.

[Life Long Dem]

17. I think all the hill supporters here should be wearing the "I'm Not Bitter" stickers! n/t

[babylonsister]

18. Wow. Just how low can she go? Repulsive. nt

[dchill]

59. How low can she go?

I'm not sure there's any way to judge that, anymore. "Repulsive" should cover it, but somehow it seems we're moving into unknown territory, terminologically speaking.

[TML]

20. Geez

I think we've found the 2008 version of those Band-Aid purple heart sickers those GOP bastards wore to their convention. Remember those?

[AllentownJake]

21. Home made Bush signs

That had the slogan or agenda item of the day for his rallys.

[ErinBerin84]

22. What in the fuck??

I'm sorry....not to bring up "Bosnia-gate",how long did we know about that before the media actually started reporting on it? Freaking Sinbad had to be the one to call her out on it, and even then, people in the press didn't want to jump on it? If the situation had been reversed, Hillary would have had another "Shame on you!" performance. "How can we expect him to get us out of a war IF HE LIED ABOUT BEING UNDER FIRE. This raises limitless questions about his moral integrity", etc. Even when Bill and Hillary continued to fuck up over the Colombian trade deal/Bosnia incident, Obama just said that he would let the Clintons explain. Even David Axelrod just said "I've given up trying to figure out what Bill Clinton does, you'll have to have my friend Howard on your show so he can answer any questions you have about it."

[Faygo Kid]

39. She has gone completely over to Rovian tactics now. Completely.

Grassroots, my ass.

Her tactics worked for Rove. Maybe they will work again. If so, I shut down on politics, because at that point, this country's future becomes hopeless.

[VolcanoJen]

23. That is so incredibly lame! Bet I'm not the only one who conjures up this image:

[WillyT]

117. Nope... That's The First Thing I Thought Of !!!

I AM INFURIATED TODAY!!!

:mad::nuke::mad:

[Saturday]

26. Now now now, don't be bitter about bitter stickers. LOL nt

[PBS Poll-435]

36. The OUTRAGE!

HOW COULD SHE. :cry::cry:

Leave Obama Alone!!! He Mispoke! You're lucky he even makes speeches! :cry::cry:

If you could can phony outrage, DU could provide China w/ Fresca for a year.

[VolcanoJen]

44. They're serial liars, and they got busted again.

It's the "Grassroots" lie, not the stickers themselves, that rubs everyone the wrong way.

Seriously, her campaign is one big Lie Machine. And they suck at it.

[PBS Poll-435]

51. You are obsessed.

Just obsessed.

One little news-blog post is not evidence of jack shit.

[Yael]

58. "One little news-blog post"?

Oh my. :rofl:

Hillary's lies

[VolcanoJen]

71. That's a sweet journal you've got there, Yael.

Duly bookmarked!!

[Yael]

74. Thanks Jen!

Good to see you! :hi:

[VolcanoJen]

91. Yeah, thought I'd take the week off from DU.

I see nothing's really changed. ;-)

:hi:

[VolcanoJen]

67. You're in denial, then.

FirstRead isn't a "little news-blog" for one.

Clinton Camp busted again... and her supporters just blow it off.

Hillary Marie Antoinette Gingrich Clinton can do no wrong!!!!

[PBS Poll-435]

79. It is more gossip than fact and you know it.

If I wanted to read the political equivalent of Page Six, I would.

BTW - How was that Obama victory in Ohio that you fore-casted?

[VolcanoJen]

89. No, it's not gossip when someone witnessess someone else unpacking stickers...

... and then writes about it.

As for Ohio, well, here in Cincinnati where I campaigned and volunteered, we crushed Hillary like an ant, giving Obama his biggest victory in the state. Sorry, but the space-time continuum does not allow one to be in more than one place at one time, so as for the rest of the state, they did what they did. With a little help from "Operation Chaos," of course. I'm proud of our work here locally, and now we're fanning out to Kentucky and Indiana, since we're in a tri-state area. It's unfortunate that you choose to deride the efforts of your fellow hard-working Democrats, but some of us don't support Princess Clinton, so you'll have that, I guess.

Not sure how involved you were in the Clinton campaign in Texas, but I'm not about to mock you personally for losing the state to Obama. Do you really feel like your shitty attitude is going to endear Democratic activists to your candidate?

[PBS Poll-435]

99. You were rude to me,

And I was rude right back.

Go back and look at your posts on the almost daily Ohio-poll threads...

[VolcanoJen]

102. I don't need to go back to them, I journaled them.

I am proud of them. I enjoyed writing each of those posts. I am proud of my work for the Obama campaign in Cincinnati.

It's damned depressing that you choose to deride passionate Democratic activists and volunteers simply because they chose a candidate other than your own.

But, it is what it is. Just illuminating to realize we're not all on the same team, that we're not all working toward the same end. Your posts on the subject say much about you, and where you're coming from. It's good information to have. Duly noted.

[PBS Poll-435]

104. As are yours...

You want to destroy the character of the only reelected non-WorldWar Democratic President in the 20th Century & his Wife.

And if you don't think I will join you this fall working to elect the nominee, you would be wrong. :hi:

[VolcanoJen]

106. I wish to do no such thing.

Trust me, the Clintons don't need my assistance. They're destroying their character all by themselves. I'm just watching, same as you. And as I've written so many times before, I adored Bill and Hill and worked my ass off for them. But, they've changed. They are Clinton 2.0 now, they're linking to Grover Fucking Norquist to make their case, for chrissakes. It breaks my bleeding liberal heart to watch them do this.

[cali]

40. not at all bitter about. More like amused at how poorly

Hillary Flick does at this stuff.

[AllentownJake]

33. Irony

When we wrap up the nomination...do you think she'll keep those?

[Life Long Dem]

56. Or she'll make some more and run as VP. "I'm With Bitter!" n/t

[Yael]

60. Did you mean Vitter?

[Debi]

34. Were they Union Made? Or did the campaign go make a couple hundred at the Qwik Copy

(and charge it???) :puke: How stupid.

[IamyourTVandIownyou]

35. Yeah, we'll see how many are still wearing those...

...once they get their a$$e$ spanked in PA.

[Bensthename]

37. The more Hillary supporters think about this the more they realize Obama is right.

[Diane R]

41. She's repugnant. I'll bet the stickers were ordered midweek. This was planned with McCain.

[Yael]

47. She probably has him in her 5

so that she can speed dial in the latest faux outrage.

[ErinBerin84]

this is Joseph Palermo's take on it-

Shame on you, Hillary Clinton.

[Botany]

61. How dare Obama give good speeches and have huge turn outs ....

.... what is he trying to do win an election?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

52. Actually, she made those after she lost 12 states in a row.

They just happened to fit the occasion now.

[VenusRising]

73. I'm sure there will be enough stickers left over for him

to get some back from Hillary.

[Kaylee]

64. I'm speechless........

I'm tired of being PC about this. She is no better than a Republican and she is making it extremely hard for me even to hold my nose and vote for her if it comes to that.

You keep this bittergate stuff up Clinton and Obama is going to CONTINUE to expose your crap. You AND McCain!

[Ichingcarpenter]

103. Bitter Voters For Obama!!!

You're Darn Right I'm Bitter
One of the most refreshing things about Barack Obama is his fearlessness when it comes to voicing a hard truth. It's an ice cold glass of unsweetened lemonade: hard to swallow, but unmistakably pure. The truth is, if you aren't bitter, you're probably voting for someone who is going to give us more of what we've been getting all along. And all Clinton and McCain seem to be saying is "Let them eat Lemons."

Both Clinton and McCain's response to Barack's comments about voters were incredibly elitist, which is funny since that seemed to be their charge. Hillary said we aren't bitter, we're resilient. In other words, we can take it, right? We can take our wages being frozen while the cost of living doubles. We can take lucrative jobs packing up and moving overseas. We can take the oil companies turning less than a 20% increase in operating expense into a 200% increase in profits. Hey, it's all part of being American. We take a beating and still wake up with a smile on our faces. Since Clinton is so sure the voters are just hunky dory with the way things are going, what would be her imperative to bring rapid and meaningful change? Clinton is completely out of touch. Hilldog, the thousands of people losing their homes right now aren't feeling very tough. They're feeling pretty bitter.


McCain's people had the nerve to call Obama's label of "bitter" condescending and elitist. From the camp of a politician whose first response to the housing crisis was to essentially allow fiscal Darwinism to run its course, this accusation is laughable. There is nothing condescending or elitist about Barack's assessment. In fact, it is just the opposite.

While Clinton and McCain live within the pomp and circumstances of their political propaganda, Obama is showing that he truly understands where voters are coming from. It is why he is winning. Obama's assessment that we are bitter comes directly from understanding that we are tired of the things that come from status quo politicians like Clinton and McCain that have driven the middle class to the edge of extinction. We should be proud to be bitter. It's not a bad thing to be, it just means you have been impacted, and it's not okay.>>>>



It requires minimal intelligence to interpret that Obama meant we were Bitter in that we are fed up, turned off, and have had enough of politics as usual. Personally, I've voted in 5 presidential elections; when I look at what has become of this country during the course of those 20 years, I do feel intensely acrid on the inside. Over the last eight years in particular, when our leaders talk about how they are going to fix something I do respond with cynicism.

So yes I am bitter, and you should be too, and in November we should all vote bitterly against the status quo and for a leader that truly knows how to make Lemons into Lemonade.

120. let's not get distracted from the cackling video that was going on as this nonissue came up

We need to get back to the thing about Shillary the fucking whore who can't give a straight answer about anything to do with her and her traitorous husband's cozy little tea-party relationship with the butcher of Colombia, Uribe, the death-squad murderer. She is an evasive shit who laughs defensively at simple questions. She is a fake, a phony, a stinking slimeball, a warmongering greedhead Wal-Mart slave labor owner, the Senator from Punjab, a traitor to the Democratic party who kisses Bush's ass and whispers sweet nothings in John McLame's ear.

Eat shit, Hillary--and don't bother coming to my town, we can't afford to be stiffed by a deadbeat like you--imagine that, the taxpayers picking up the bill to listen to her lies. Who else does that remind you of? hint, it's fouling up the WH right now, the flip side of her coin.
