[scheming daemons]

"....because he brought in his father and my husband."



Wow.

1. Unbelievable.

It was tsunami, not Katrina, but the rest was verbatim.

15. THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS.

She needs the shut the fuck up.

[PBS Poll-435]

28. Pictures Sell Lies!!!

Thanks!

[baldguy]

33. A major American city was left to die because it didn't vote the "correct" way.

Thousands of people were killed, billions of dollars in property was lost, tens of thousands of people were made homeless.

Bush deserves blame, not praise.

Was that a picture from New Orleans?

[cliffordu]

40. Yes, those two died and were left to rot, basically for days.

I can;t help but think if they were white, in, say Chappaqua, they'd have been helped before they died of dehydration...What a complete disgrace.

Imagine hillary standing on those two bodies to curry a little favor.....

[PBS Poll-435]

47. That is disgusting and wrong. What is wrong with you

Imagine hillary standing on those two bodies to curry a little favor.....

[baldguy]

55. Thats exactly what she does when she praises Bush for his "compassion"

He has no compassion.

[PBS Poll-435]

56. She did not THANK BUSH for KATRINA

Jeeeeesus

[baldguy]

64. The Bush responses to EVERY natural disaster during his regime has been a CRIME.

Why is she "appreciating" or "thanking" or "praising" him for ANYTHING? As a US Senator she should be leading the charge to chain that little fucker up in a little iron box, not offering her admiration to him.

[PBS Poll-435]

66. Chimpy got Bush1 & WJC to go to the fat cats

And they raised a shitload of money for tsunami relief and tsunami warning systems.

[baldguy]

78. Bush gives $2 trillion of our money to his "have more" pals

then Pappy & Hillary's husband get them to give up their pocket change when the peasants start to die.

That's mighty white of 'em.

[cliffordu]

67. Nothing. She just said "Great job Brownie" only

she substituted Bush.


Complete disgust on this end.

and I don't really give a shit if does offend your finer sensibilities.

Metaphorically.......



See??


:patriot:

[PBS Poll-435]

Katrina & Bush were not mentioned.

It was the tsunami.

[cliffordu]

92. I just realized you're right

I'm wrong.

Sorry about the wrong insults. You have my apology.

I will continue supplying correct insults involving influence peddling, negotiating trade deals without authorization and generally acting like NEOCON profiteers.


:hi:

[PBS Poll-435]

98. :-)

Big of you to say so.

As for your "correct" insults...we will see :P

[TheDoorbellRang]

97. You are right, but no one's listening.

Guys! Hey, everybody! Guys, listen up!

She didn't say Katrina. She said the tsunami! Tsunami!


I still don't think they're listening...:shrug:

[PBS Poll-435]

99. I know...

But I now have a list of sheep following a drunken shepherd.

[Cali_Democrat]

54. What happened in New Orleans was a tragedy

NEVER AGAIN!!

[baldguy]

58. 2½ years - how soon we forget.

Google "Katrina Dead" and see just some of the 8000 people that perished there.

[uppityperson]

3. She appreciated the fact that he was in over his head and got GB and WC to help out?

I appreciated that he brought them in to help also. That appreciation in no way outweighs the hatred I have for all he didn't do and no, I'm not a Clintonite. Just uppity and venturing into GD-P

[PBS Poll-435]

5. I hope you have had your shots!

It is a little rough in here.

[Cha]

25. Al Gore did more to help with Katrina than

any pol without fanfare and wasn't that the Tsunami that fucking bil LIAR clinton and fucking ghw LIAR bush were "brought in"?

[uppityperson]

36. Below others say that comment was about Indonesia.

I think they were "brought in" for Katrina too and lots of people helped more than they did

[PBS Poll-435]

4. Wasn't it the Tsunami?

[journalist3072]

7. It was both. eom

[bigtree]

19. no it wasn't. The comment about 'appreciating Bush' was about Indonesia

[PBS Poll-435]

24. That is what I thought

More bitter lies....

[flowomo]

34. correct

[journalist3072]

6. You all make a big deal out of the stupidest shit. She was clearly saying that here you had a case

of two former Presidents coming together for the common good.

What's wrong with that?

Are we at a point now where its unacceptable for a former Democratic President to work with a former Republican one?

They came together to raise money for people affected by Katrina.

THE HORROR!

[Mobius]

29. that is not it at all

The rescue effort of the Katrina victims was pitiful, compared to what could have been done.
What about Bush's lack of effort?
That is what people are outraged about here.
It isn't the bipartisan aspect of it at all.
It's the fact that she said she appreciated what he did for Katrina victims, and he didn't do much until everyone was dead already, just about.
It has to be one of the biggest failures in relief effort ever.

[uppityperson]

43. 2 former presidents working together for common good? That's good.

Glad they worked together for disaster relief.

[Window]

82. Nobody "makes a big deal about the stupidest shit" like Hillary supporters.

Period.

[AllentownJake]

8. Yes that was great

When Barbara Bush could deliver such great lines (paraphrased) They are lucky to be now in TX.

[Cha]

9. Heckuva job Brownie..

Heckavu job hilary..maybe you should just lay off the sauce.

[Cali_Democrat]

10. ARRRGGGHHH

11. Heckuva job, Hilly!

OMFG!

She is a disgrace and needs to be purged from the party.

:nuke:

[PBS Poll-435]

119. Did you really lose your Kitty today?

[City Lights]

149. Yes.

:cry:

Do you really think I'd make something like that up?

[PBS Poll-435]

150. No....not at all.

I miss my orange cat. He lived to be 16. He passed last year. I had him most of my life.

I am sorry for your loss.

[City Lights]

152. Thanks...sorry for yours as well.

We had to have Kaylee put down yesterday, and Mozart put down on 4-6-08. Both were rather unexpected, so we're still in a state of shock.

Listen up!

13. ROFL!

Why are Kayne West's words on this topic running through my mind?

[Bigleaf]

32. True: Here is the video. I can see Kanye adding Hillary's name to the list.

Fucking Classic. The look on Mike Myers face is priceless.

37. Pay attention.

She didn't say Katrina.

[JVS]

41. Don't be bitter. Not all of us get cable tv.

[PBS Poll-435]

45. Not bitter.

Bitterness would mean I hit the wall rather than correcting the poster.

[JVS]

50. Sure you're not bitter. I'll play along.

:eyes:

[PBS Poll-435]

53. Not bitter at all.

Jan 2009 - Time to fix some shit.

57. Sorry. I watch my Canadian satellite now. I like real news. Not the shit they feed everyone here.

I posted in response to what was said up-thread. If she didn't say that, no problem.

[PBS Poll-435]

62. LOLOLOL

Try not to take someone's word for it before you open up the sewer.

[MadBadger]

14. I didnt hear her say Katrina, I heard Tsunami....did I not hear her say Katrina too?

[scheming daemons]

114. I heard her say Katrina..... I'll watch the replay and/or check the transcripts......

...

[bigtree]

16. She said that about Indonesia, not New Orleans. Pay attention.

[Mobius]

35. see that changes things alot

that is why i wanted the source of this quote so I could see what was actually said.

17. NOT ME!!!

in the context of improving America's image abroad.

38. K&R

DUers see controversy in everything and don't understand Politics.

[uppityperson]

44. Source please. I want to see source before getting outraged.

and I have plenty of outrage to share.

[merh]

46. and I challenge the pro hillary folks to go look and see

who got the Katrina funds and to name me one (1) individual that was the recipient of any of the monies donated to the Kartina survivors.

And then look at my journal and compare what Hillary did to what Barack has done and you will see why she is not my favorite.

http://journals.democraticunderground.com/merh/100

http://journals.democraticunderground.com/merh/97

[uppityperson]

52. yah know what's even wilder about those lists?

I don't think Obama was running for president when Katrina happened, while I think Clinton was. Thanks for the concise list.

[merh]

61. I agree

I see him as an actual humanitarian, not as a politically convenient humanitarian.

And she has failed to do much of anything since she has been running openly, hell, if GWB handed out water and ice after the florida storms when he was running.

Her chair of the environmental/toxic health subcommittee gives her the forum to do what is right, yet she had done nothing.

[uppityperson]

65. thank you for those lists. Am copying to show elsewhere.

sometimes I just don't understand other people. Hope houseliving is going well and pooches are used to stairs.

[merh]

74. we are well

and pups have lost some weight going up and done the stairs, but they still huddle under my feet when at rest, as if we are still crowded into the tin can.

[PBS Poll-435]

73. No mention of Katrina & Bush tonight

The OP lied

[merh]

75. My challenge still stands

dare ya, double dog dare ya.

[PBS Poll-435]

77. Don't care about your "Challenge"

Just debunking lies.

[merh]

81. I don't care about your debunking

Do you think you can deal with legitimate issues or does playing the divisive game make you feel all so involved?

[PBS Poll-435]

83. Debunking lies is divisive?

Really?

How about the folks telling the lies. Are they being divisive?

[merh]

87. Not as divisive as you running around kicking up their thread

and perpetuating their "lies", but you folks never realize your hand in all things bad for hillary or anything bad about hillary.

[PBS Poll-435]

89. It is called exposure.

People are exposed for telling lies.

And why "lies".....

[merh]

95. Because the Bush/Clinton team was the team that allegedly

raised money to help Katina victims as well as the tsunami, like folks think that Katrina is just NOLA, some confuse natural disasters and truly have trouble understanding what was done differently for the tsunami victims than what was done for the katrina/rita victims.

But keep kicking it and don't accept my challenge, makes no difference to me, except that I know you have no way to respond to my challenge.

[PBS Poll-435]

101. On my list of things to do...

Your "challenge" is below gutter/leaf clean-up.

[merh]

104. Yeah, you got nothing

and you just love to keep kicking the thread.

Go for it - those leaves can't argue with you and prove you wrong so I understand your choice.

[PBS Poll-435]

107. Nah...I like kicking the thread for the more obvious one...

A pro-Obama poster told a lie and the sheep followed.

[merh]

109. Good for you

Of course, as a hillary supporter, you are familiar with telling the difference between lies and simple misstatements, so I'm sure you were intent on calling out all those who claimed she simply misspoke, yes?

[PBS Poll-435]

110. Haha

Sure...

[merh]

113. knew it

you are so obvious, I hope the leaves provide you that outlet you so seek.

[PBS Poll-435]

115. Oh I am sure they will.

Thanks for your concern.

[merh]

116. From your posts and your refusal to deal with the issues as presented

my money is on the leaves. ;)

[PBS Poll-435]

117. Well...

Since the leaves don't tell lies that get the sheep upset, like some Obama supporters, I am sure it will be more peaceful.

[merh]

120. LOL, if the leaves are in your gutters and not on the trees

then they are dead, of course it is much easier to deal with dead things than real issues.

[PBS Poll-435]

122. I have a feeling when this primary is over,

You and I are going to get along very well.

There is definitely a playful nature to your posts which makes me grin a little.

[merh]

124. Disagreeing on who is the better candidate does not have to

make one disagreeable. ;)

Hopefully when the primary is behind us, the playful spirits and unity will return.

I would suggest torching GDP and scattering the ashes to the winds, but that's just me.

[PBS Poll-435]

127. NO.

If you have seen Terminator II, that is not how you deal with these things. The pieces will eventually reassemble.

GDP Needs to be split into about a hundred pieces and put into Tupperware containers. Send each piece of Tupperware to one of 100 equidistant addresses. Hire grave diggers to bury them 10 feet below the surface.

I will then send invitations out so we can dance on one of the conveniently located GDP graves.

[merh]

131. Wouldn't just melting the hard drive that holds the pixels work?

I mean, didn't they melt that terminator in Terminator II?

[PBS Poll-435]

133. Thanks to NAFTA,

I can't find a steel plant to melt the hard drives in. Plus, what do you do about the tubes? It is NOT a truck, you know.

[merh]

137. Okay, we will go with your plan.

But keep in mind, gas is expensive, all that traveling to dance on the buried remains could be more than I can swing, and my vacation time is limited.

I like beaches over the snow, though the mountains can be nice in the early fall.

[PBS Poll-435]

141. If you can't manage to go to one of the

conveniently located GDP grave-sites, I will happily make you a home movie and a scrapbook commemorating the occasion.

I wouldn't spend my vacation time mourning GDP either.

[merh]

146. It's a shame it can't be recycled

that we can't find a green solution.

But I am afraid it is just too toxic.

The video will do, perhaps I could watch it when the press does that inevitable salute to the presidency of bush at the end of his term.

:puke:

[shadowknows69]

48. I think it was the indonesian Tsunami she was referring to.

...before armed troops and mercenarys...

[smiley_glad_hands]

69. Yeah they ran cover for W while the city lay in shambles.

Sorry, but she may be running for the Democratic nomination, but she sounds more and more republican every day.

[PBS Poll-435]

118. Especially when people lie about the words coming out of her mouth... nt

[smiley_glad_hands]

132. Wrong. The only lies i see being spewed are by her.

Why did she slam Al Gore again?

[PBS Poll-435]

134. She didn't

It is in your head.

[smiley_glad_hands]

140. Yeah then why does she promote republican frames to attack the party and fellow dems?

The fact is the working class has been hoodwinked by the politics of division and the culture wars into voting against there own economic interests. She does not understand this? She is a democrat?

[PBS Poll-435]

142. LOL...

All I said was that the OP was wrong about hearing Katrina.

[smiley_glad_hands]

143. My bad. This thread is moot then. eom

[Scurrilous]

70. Kick

:kick:

[crispini]

72. It was the tsunami, people. nt

[cyndensco]

86. I certainly wish she had praised bush about Katrina - what a blunder that would have been

Unfortunately, though, she was talking about bush sr and her husband being sent to raise money and help tsunami victims.

[usregimechange]

88. Disgusting, Obama staff, rip off a press release, ask her to apologize for an elitist comment!

[PBS Poll-435]

91. I wish they would

I wish they would spread that lie like his supporters have.

[EndElectoral]

90. WTF....

[AZBlue]

93. When was this said?

I don't doubt it - I'm just putting together a collection of her Bushesque quotes and this DEFINITELY has to be added.
Thanks!!

[PBS Poll-435]

103. It was said right after Obama said

"Pennsylvania can suck it, and suck it hard."

[Colobo]

96. Spoken like a true Republican.

[PBS Poll-435]

105. OMG. She really did say it! The OP was NOT LYING

Here is a link:

[Thatsrightnate]

125. She's Right

Wow, it took so long for a President to admit it, but thank goodness Bush was there to help New Orleans rebuild.

[PBS Poll-435]

130. Welcome to DU!

And she didn't really say that.

[Bjorn Against]

136. Yeah, he was there to play guitar for them...

But not before sharing a cake with McCain...

[Bjorn Against]

138. Wow, I checked out your blog...

Did you actually write this?

I am really getting tired of this constant president bashing that I’ve been seeing lately. Sure the economy is down and the war is dragging on, but some things are worth fighting for. If you want to blame somebody, blame the dumocrats that control congress. What really annoys me are people like Colbert, Stewart, and the late night shows who are ripping on the President in some vague attempt for humor. How dare anyone make fun of Bush after all he’s been through.

I hope you meant that to be satire because I sure laughed my ass off when I read that.

[Thatsrightnate]

144. I don't do satire

I don't think it is really funny to ask for civility. The man works hard. I do admit I was having a very bad day when I wrote it. Thanks for stopping by.

Nate Peele

[Bjorn Against]

145. Seriously you should go write for the Colbert report, because I am laughing my ass off...

Come on, you can not tell me this is not satire...

What Charlton Heston was to Moses, Timothy Bottoms is to Bush. He’s on top of things and in charge. In one scene during discussions about Afghanistan, Bush even says, “Ah, Massoud! He’s the leader of the Northern Alliance!” Even if you love the guy, you have to admit this is pushing it. And Rove was there so you know it happenned that way. Bush was on top of things like white on rice–not that he was on Condi.

http://thatsrightnate.wordpress.com/2008/04/10/george-bush-movie-ive-seen-it/#comments

I about bust a gut laughing when I read that, please, please tell me you are joking.

[Bjorn Against]

139. Wow, I see from your blog that you have some pretty shall we say interesting taste in women...

OK Ann Coulter and Condi Rice are often touted as the beauties of the Conservative set, but I have a soft spot for conservative blogger Debbie Schlussel.

http://thatsrightnate.wordpress.com/2008/04/11/who-says-girls-cant-be-reporters/#comments

Please don't tell me you were serious.

[scheming daemons]

126. I just checked the transcript, and it says "Tsunami"..... and I really thought I heard "Katrina"...

I apologize.

Mods.... please delete the thread. I mis-heard Hillary's answer, if the transcript is correct.


But.... even if she had said "Katrina", the context makes it clear that she was talking about the Tsunami.


I was wrong.

[PBS Poll-435]

128. It is big of you to say so. nt

[Stuckinthebush]

129. Jesus, what is wrong with her?

Seriously? I don't get the support for her.

[PBS Poll-435]

135. I wouldn't either....

If people put their words in her mouth. Like what happened here tonight.

[workinclasszero]

147. Hillary is DLC...DLC = Rethuglican!

Hillary really pulled off the mask tonight and showed every democrat who she really is!

A BUSH LOVER!:puke:

A BUSH ENABLER! (IWR):grr:

She praised Bush for KATRINA!?!?!?!?:crazy:

She is DONE! Finished! The bigshots in the party better put Hill and Bill to bed or forfeit their party to Hillary and her right wing thug buddies!

[PBS Poll-435]

148. KRAZY

She didn't say it. The OP was mistaken.

[Buzz Clik]

151. Yeah, Bush's handling of Katrina was awesome.

[PBS Poll-435]

153. Too bad that is not what Hillary said...

The OP was mistaken. He admitted it after looking at the transcripts.

[baldguy]

154. Why is she praising him for ANYTHING?

[PBS Poll-435]

155. Cuz for her...

It is like sitting on the washing machine during the spin cycle. She loves Bush. They are best friends.

:sarcasm:

Do you not remember the "Missing Ws from White House Keyboards" story?

Her actual comment last night was more like. "I appreciate what Bush did..." by getting the fuck out of the way and letting smart experienced people lead the relief fund-raising effort.

[baldguy]

156. Like Hillary's husband had to ask permission from the dumbfuck to do that?

[PBS Poll-435]

158. I'm Done!

If you don't remember the circumstances, I can't help you.

[baldguy]

160. I guess all tyrannies need a sycophant class.

Its just surprising that people who call themselves "Democrats" are its leaders.

[PBS Poll-435]

161. Now I am really done.

I don't like you looking down your nose at me. I find it offensive.

If you don't understand the situation or the context of someone's remarks. Don't assume, just ask. Here to help.

[baldguy]

163. You know what I find offensive?

A supposedly DEMOCRATIC candidate for the the DEMOCRATIC party's Presidential nomination saying in any serious way "I really appreciate President Bush." Better to say nothing at all than to sing the praises of one of the people must responsible for America's decline.

[PBS Poll-435]

164. That is not all she said.

Did you watch it last night?

[baldguy]

166. Did you?

"You know, I really appreciated President Bush after the tsunami struck, asking his father and my husband to represent the United States and our concern for the people who have been devastated."

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/04/hillary_clinton_at_the_compass.html


"I REALLY APPRECIATED PRESIDENT BUSH!" right in the transcript. Is the transcript wrong?

[PBS Poll-435]

167. Did you read what you cut & paste?

If so, what in the hell is wrong with that.

It was extremely limited praise for President Pretzel saying that this shit was out of his league.

[KoKo]

157. If you don't have a link...how can I trust what you say is the "real report?"

No Linky...no Creds...:puke:

[PBS Poll-435]

162. Exactly.

The OP very graciously admitted he was wrong about this, though.

No big deal.

It won't happen again, right? :eyes:

[Bluebear]

159. I agree with her. President Bush needs to bring in all the help he can get, incompetent as he is.

[Arugula Latte]

165. Good gawd. Just when I think she can't get any more offensive...

:wow:

[PBS Poll-435]

168. Wrong,

She didn't say it. The OP was mistaken.
