If OBAMA or McCain have A FUCKING OUNCE of INTEGRITY they'll denounce Randi Rhodes for

[Mezzo]

calling Hillary Clinton a FUCKING WHORE.

They shouldn't only react angrily to shit when it helps make Hillary look bad. They both need to issue statements on this and talk about gender. Come on! They need to be calling this shit out!

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/03/air-america-host-randi-rh_n_94863.html

Rhodes, who hosts a weekday radio show on Air America, said to the cheering crowd, "What a whore Geraldine Ferraro is! She's such a fucking whore!" She then proceeded to say, "Hillary is a big fucking whore, too" to a mixed audience reaction. "You know why she's a big fucking whore?"

[Bensthename]

1. Hillary is part of the GOP and it is a dem radio show.

[niyad]

5. last I checked, there is a D after Sen. Clinton's name

[Bensthename]

7. HA.. Don't let that fool you.

[Mezzo]

27. perhaps you'd do better to see who the real enemy is.

How elitist of you to decide whether Hillary is allowed to be a dem or not. You are really out of touch.

[FatDave]

59. Maybe anybody who pushes the "elitist democrats" meme is the enemy.

You ever consider that?

[Mezzo]

83. I did. Which is why I was so disappointed when Obama did that. nt

[bellasgrams]

71. Hey, Bens, It's BO that adores Reagan and Lieberman and wants

to make nice with the Repbs., not Hillary get it straight. When you're name calling.

[SoCalDem]

158. She needs an "S" after her name

for stalker

[movonne]

28. So did Lieberman and see what he turned out to be...a neo-com

[Mezzo]

32. It was OBAMA who campaigned for Holy Joe, yanno. nt

[cali]

60. So did Hill, dear

And then they both supported Ned in the general. And who did Ned endorse, genius?

[joeybee12]

76. Campaign means showing up...not just endorsing, sweetie...

...so many lies and distortions, so little time.

[cali]

122. oh, please. they both supported Lieberman in the primary

and Ned Lamont clearly thinks that was no problem. He endorsed Obama, not hillary dearest.

[Mezzo]

135. but OBama supported Holy Joe EVEN MORE. And since we're just fighting over five per cent

it doesn't speak too highly of your candidate to share my candidates voting record the way he does.

[Mezzo]

84. Please stop lying.

Obama endorsed and CAMPAIGNED for Holy Joe, Hillary endorsed him.

Please stop lying.

[cali]

123. lol!

split hairs much, dearie? Obviously, Ned doesn't think much of hiily or he would have endorsed Madame Entitled.

[Mezzo]

136. and that STILL doesn't get Hillary Clinton out of the Democratic Party...sorry to tell you. nt

She's a democrat...no matter who Ned Lamont endorses. Oh, and there's nothing you can do about her being a democrat either, no matter how many times you want to repeat she is not.

Sorry. :nopity:

[johnnydrama]

35. I think

That was a mistake Fox News made, putting a D after her name like they did Mark Foley, and she just never bothered to fix it.

[niyad]

51. you must be so proud of yourself for that witty remark. get a clue, okay?

[Mezzo]

56. Please stop lying. nt

[Bensthename]

67. They should put a "?" mark by her name to be fair.

Since everyone is so confused what she is.

[Mezzo]

86. Only the deluded are confused. nt

[Auntie Bush]

124. The Clintons haven't always been Democrats?!?!?

Gee, learn something new everyday. Those Obamites will give you a good history lesson every day. I love to come here and get me an education. You guys are sooooo smart.

[cliffordu]

155. Yeah, but she's lying about that, too.

:patriot:

[pnwmom]

126. Yeah, and you're Rush Limbaugh. n/t

[JoFerret]

150. Too silly.

.

[MadBadger]

2. They probably havent been asked a question about it.

[Hawkeye-X]

3. Why didn't you include Clinton on this..

CALL CONGRESS NOW!!!!!! I'M SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mezzo]

29. Blaming the victim is never really a good m.o. but you already knew that. It's HUGH!!!111!!

edit: typo

[NightWatcher]

4. dont you have homework to do before school tomorrow?

[Mezzo]

31. Nope. Do you?

[azmouse]

6. ...

[knixphan]

10. lol!!!

[MercutioATC]

8. Excellent point.

I don't agree that any apologies for either statement are necessary, but turnabout is fair play.

The simple fact is that a candidate is only responsible for their statements and, to a lesser degree, statements made by their campaign staff.

[MethuenProgressive]

9. Never happen. It's just sexist hate speech.

All progressives should oppose hate speech - and not pick and choose what hate speech to oppose.

[goldcanyonaz]

13. Exactly, the selective outrage is deafening.

[MethuenProgressive]

24. After screeching whore and bitch and c--t at Hillary, DUbamas are now suddenly against hate speech?

DUbamas must have whiplash from the aboutface they're doing on this one.

[mckeown1128]

34. Again that myth about how Obama supporters use all these words..

I swear I must ask Clinton supporters twice a day to back up this claim that obama supporters are constantly screeching "whore and bitch and c--t"... Do you care to take the challenge.

Please back up your claim.

[MethuenProgressive]

38. I suggest you contact admin or moderators if you have questions about the posts they remove.

They do keep note, you know.

[mckeown1128]

96. Nice try...

If these Obama-supporter-calling-Hillary-a-B$tch/Whore/C$nt threads are so numerous that Clinton supporters have seen them around every corner... wouldn't it make sense that someone like myself who is on here so often would see a few of them. Saying they have all been deleted is not valid. because if these posts were all deleted so quickly that I didn't see them, then they would be too quick for Clinton supporters to see them too.

[Mezzo]

97. which is why I can't believe you haven't seen it ON THIS VERY THREAD...

It's amazing, the blind eye.

[mckeown1128]

106. Umm... just now so that idiot...

I don't read ALL of a thread... I normally read till I read something stupid like when someone says that "Dumbas schreech whore and b*tch and c--t at Hillary"

That being said... that idiot is an extreme rarity.

[Mezzo]

125. ok, so what about here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5501793&mesg_id=5501870

Again, right here, on this very thread.

[Mezzo]

130. How about here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5501793&mesg_id=5502260

Some of them are being deleted by mods, so they're disappearing.

[jgraz]

107. Can we also ask about your posts that have been removed?

That would be interesting.

[Mezzo]

95. Post number 40 in THIS VERY THREAD. Now, please read for comprehension. nt

[mckeown1128]

102. One post from one idiot (and I do mean idiot)

That is the first time I have seen something like that for a long time on DU. It is hardly this broad brush of Obama supporters:

"screeching whore and bitch and c--t at Hillary, DUbamas are now suddenly against hate speech?"

[Mezzo]

132. how about here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5501793&mesg_id=5502260

[movonne]

39. I would denounce it if this was done on her program...this was a

in a night club...I am an Obama supported but I do think that some things here said about both candidates is bad...I see my own temper rise and answer back...I'm trying not to be nasty but it does come out once in a while..

[goldcanyonaz]

11. Women haven't come far enough to matter, yet.

That's what I've learned around here.

[ashtoncusher]

153. Women have come a long way

In the past decades women go the right to vote and their salaries almost match men's.

[Bensthename]

12. Why should a dem apologize for remarks against a rePube??? I mean really.

[Oregone]

14. When does someone's celebrity status break the threshold to be denounced?

What I mean is simple here...candidates don't react to loser bloggers, do they? They do not denounce any whackjob saying anything, right? Most of the time they stay away from things not connected to their campaign, as to not draw an association to that person (unless they are a very notable public figure). But for small time people, for the most part, no one cares what the hell they say, so why would candidates waste their time on it.

And newsflash, RR is probably known by under .1% of the American population...why make an issue out of this if someone doesn't have to? I don't see them denouncing the YouTube clowns that have said much worse (because they are small time clowns).

[MethuenProgressive]

15. OBAMA DENOUNCE HER WORDS NOW OR YOU LOSE,,,

:kick:

[Bensthename]

19. Obama is not worried about a slam against a republican.

[Mezzo]

104. Please stop lying. nt

[AtomicKitten]

16. if the foo shits ...

[Mezzo]

30. Are you saying that Hillary Clinton is a fucking whore? nt

[ima_sinnic]

40. yes, I'll say it

and so is McSame, for that matter.

it's not "sexist," it's the FUCKING TRUTH. The woman is corrupt, she takes bribes, she's got Mark Penn doing little deals with Uribe in Colombia, she's a fucking LIAR who will do whatever the high bidder wants her to do. WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT?

[Mezzo]

50. I would certainly not call her a fucking whore...you would? and you do?

That says so much more about you than it ever did about her.

[ima_sinnic]

62. I don't think you Hillarybots want to go there, with the corruption bullshit

because the lying sack of double-dealing republican shit in democrat's clothing is about as corrupt and power-greedy as they come.

Remember Uribe? Remember how she's supposedly against trade deals with fascist chainsaw union murderers? you don't care that that is all a lie and she's laughing all the way to the bank while death squads murder union leaders in Colombia?

fuck you and the rest of the phony "democratic" Hillary butt-kissers. Let's have 8 more years of backroom deals, except instead of figurehead GWB in the WH, we'll have a Rambo wannabe, a "woman."

[Mezzo]

138. Oh, yes we do. we certainly do. nt

[bellasgrams]

73. None of that is true about Hillary. What is true about BO is that

He lies all the time. He is a hater of the US just read his books if you don't believe me. He doesn't like whites, again, read his books. He grew up anti America, then when choosing a church found on that preached his kind of hate. He claimed the Clintons made racist remarks when he was actually race baiting to get the black vote out. He's totally wrong for the country. We need an American that will put this country first. Hillary is the one that can and will do that.

[ima_sinnic]

109. ooooh, a white supremacist who is threatened by a black candidate

--hey, caucasians are now a minority in the U.S. Deal with it.

Not one word of your shit-stained spew is true, not one. What is your take on Uribe, eh? That's something to be proud of with Hillary, isn't it? morons like you don't care about shit like that, all you care about is your privileged white universe being threatened by the prospect of a person of another race being president. poor poor you, your king of the hill bullshit is crumbling beneath your feet.

[Mezzo]

128. are you saying that it is okay to have racist views?

The respondent said that there is evidence that he does not like white people. Read his books the respondent kept saying. Your response seems to be a tacit approval of racism. That, since whites are in the minority, equailty is not for them now. Get over it.

Is that what you were trying to say?

I just want to be sure.

[ima_sinnic]

142. "evidence that Obama does not like white people" ?

you people are so full of shit your eyes are brown.

the evidence IS that the respondent is a blatant racist, if that is her interpretation of Obama's writing. It is a really REALLY dumbass thing to say.

You have to ask whether I "approve" of racism??

Please provide quotes that show "Obama does not like white people"--because the truth is that respondent is a narrow-minded person with no concept of the view from anybody else's perspective besides her own.

[bellasgrams]

147. You don't know anything about me. What I posted is true and

you are pulling the same stunt BO did. Race baiting should have never been a part of this election. BO had to do it he thought. I guess he just doesn't have enough self confidence but you can't tell it the way acts. Just because the man is black does not make him the right man for the job. He is a greenhorn, with a lot of baggage. Do you think if Colin Powell or someone of his stature ran he would have a problem with race. No. He would be judged by his blunder on WMD's but he still is admired and respected. He has experience and has served the country well. I have never heard him put the country down in any way. I can't say these things about BO. If he was white people wouldn't look at him twice. I am not racist I have many friends and tenants
that would tell you as much. One couple owes me $1600 not many landlords would do that for anyone. I happen to like the couple and their kids and know they're having it rough. However it going to be rough for me to cover the taxes and insurance that's coming up. So don't you dare call me racial names.

[defendandprotect]

17. Give it a rest . . . it didn't sell the first time --- it's not selling now . . .

[Mezzo]

33. Is it something that needs to **sell**? Telling about you that is. nt

[defendandprotect]

85. It's needs to be something that people are agreeing with --- "buying" . .. they're not.

[Mezzo]

139. One does not 'buy into' the bill of good OBama just sold.

18. What stupid things has Mezzo said during this DU Forum?

Do a search..presto.

[Levgreee]

20. Ferraro was part of Clinton's campaign. What exactly is the link of responsibility between Obama

and Rhodes, again?

[MercutioATC]

25. I believe the OP has to do with the "boy" comment...

...and the silly demands that Clinton and McCain denounce the use of the word "boy" when talking about Obama.

[Mezzo]

105. This is very true. nt

[defendandprotect]

87. NONE . .

Obama has a website . . . and on that website ANYONE can post anything in messages ---

ANYTHING ---

Someone -- a poster - posted the notice of the Club performance by Randi ---

Again --- it had NOTHING to do with Obama --

[ashtoncusher]

154. Plus everyone already denounced Randi anyway

very few agree with what she said. Obama does not have to waste his time on this. He's trying to become president, which is what matters right now for us.

[Lerkfish]

21. I knew I'd missed one or two

plonk

[AtomicKitten]

22. If Hillary had any integrity, she'd accept her defeat and drop out.

[Bensthename]

23. Exactly

[Mezzo]

43. when did he reach 2025? Got a link?

[Fox Mulder]

37. Agreed.

[Mezzo]

41. Obama got to 2025 while I was out today? He did? *IF* he did

then Hillary should drop out. But I am pretty sure, you're WRONG about that, be it by design or dereliction.



:boring:

[ima_sinnic]

46. no matter how much you *say* you want it to happen, HILLARY IS NOT GOING TO GET THE NOM

deal with it.

[Bensthename]

70. No she isnt. She is wasting Obama's time and fund raising for the gen election.

[Mezzo]

101. He can't get there either...it's strange how you think differently. He needs to win PA

and he might. But he still just can't get to that number. The rules are the rules.

Seen bittergate threads...gonna beat this dead horse, may have a dying quiver there...hey!

Don't disappoint us...I have a bet going how long it will take for a "Pastor Wright" thread going up....:::rubbing finger and thumb together::: :D

[goldcanyonaz]

44. Who exactly are you calling a monkey?

[LittleClarkie]

55. I'm pretty sure we're all monkeys. Welcome to the monkey house.

The shit gets slung back and forth depending on the day and which candidate's is doing better.

But I prefer "Thunderdome" myself. Two candidates enter, one candidate leaves.

[LittleClarkie]

48. .

[Mezzo]

90. What a racist thing for you to say.

Of course, I doubt you said that in the mirror of this. Of course you didn't.

[LittleClarkie]

108. How so?

Is calling someone a monkey always racist, even if they don't happen to be a person of color? To see the comment as racist, I guess you'd have to reckon Hillary's supporters are all black or somesuch.

And I also guess I'd have to stop calling myself a helper monkey and Hillary a pander monkey if the word "monkey" is always offensive.

Personally, I think we're all the monkeys, living in the monkey house and flinging shit at each other. Different monkeys do the flinging depending on the day. But I think both sides are guilty of a little shit flinging.

[Catherine Vincent]

36. Obama didn't say anything because he HAS no integrity.

Tit for tat?

[ima_sinnic]

52. why is HIllary double dealing with a union chainsaw murderer in Colombia, eh?

talk about integrity! that botoxed phony wouldn't know integrity if it bit her in the butt. she's a fucking LIAR and a greed-head payola grubber who will say and do whatever looks good and will fill her wallet.

[Catherine Vincent]

61. Oh yeah!

Well Obama is a fucking LIAR and a greed-head payola grubber too!

[ima_sinnic]

65. links?

[Mezzo]

103. Why is OBama still employing the DLC's finance guy who gave Canada the wink-wink. nt

[defendandprotect]

88. Obama had nothing to do with the Rhodes performance --- NOTHING . . .

[Mezzo]

115. and Hillary had NOTHING to do with that repig calling OBama a boy..NOTHING. But OBama had an Imus

opinion. How silent he is now.

[defendandprotect]

145. Hopefully we are ALL interested in truth; I don't know anything about the "boy"

event --- but I'll try to see what's been said here at DU about it.

Or -- if you'd like, you can give me a run-down on that story.

Meanwhile, we also have the Obama in Somali dress photograph being traced back to the Clinton campaign.

even though I was trying to be humorous, I see the post I based it on is deleted. So best off if mine goes away too.

[kwenu]

49. Who?

[nichomachus]

54. Is that the role of candidates?

Should candidates be monitoring every talk show on radio or TV and "denouncing" people whose statements they disagree with? I'd rather be hearing about the issues than hearing people talking about people talking about people talking about people who are talking about people.

[FlaGranny]

58. Hmmm. Wonder why the crowd was cheering???? n/t

[goldcanyonaz]

64. Which crowd? The one that heard Geoff Davis refer to Obama as a boy or Randi Rhodes's?

[Mezzo]

94. Exactly my point. The crowd was stacked in his favor before the thing even began. nt

[Breeze54]

63. You lost-- Suck it up!!! -- btw? McCain?!? McCain?!?

:rofl: Are you lost or drinking or something else!?! Yikes!!

Who gives a rats ass what that fucking Right Wing lying piece of shit says?

[mrJJ]

So What ? I agree with Rhodes

Rhodes wasn't on the air when she made her comment. But the truth be it told is that I have the same sentiment towards the Clinton's. Mostly Bill but maybe Hillary is just pimping him out. Those speeches have to put money on the table for their food.

[grannylib]

66. I think it's contemptible to use that kind of language about her;

disagree with her on issues; question her relentlessly until you get answers, just as I'd expect with any other candidate, but I agree...they should condemn such remarks.

[Upton]

Seriously, it was in a nightclub full of adults. She said the "f" word... big FUCKING deal.

[Hippo_Tron]

69. If Randi were a man calling Hillary a whore it would be on the same level as Davis' comments

Just like Davis' comments would probably be almost unnoticed if he were black.

[anonymous171]

74. She wasn't suspended for that.

[billyoc]

75. Clinton is a fucking whore of Leibermann-esque proportions.

Gender my ass.

[Hepburn]

137. I have to disagree...

...with her latest performances, IMO, she tops LIEberwhore.

[billyoc]

144. Well, she's only *tacitly* endorsed McCain at this point.

:hi:

[smiley_glad_hands]

77. She is a dem using right wing frames against other dems, progressives and her party.

While I refrain from using such language, Randi is free to call it likes she sees it.

[Mezzo]

111. Who used Harry and Louise in Ohio? It wasn't her, it was OBama. nt

[otohara]

78. Maybe He Doesn't Know

if he fired Samantha Power for calling Hillary a monster, I'm pretty sure he would denounce Rhodes. But she doesn't work for him or his campaign. Rhodes is a talk show host on stations with very small audiences.

And I might add, the real liberal sites that take on media... like Media Matters have stayed silent on the Rhodes controversy. How hypocritical is that?

[WinkyDink]

79. No, because to do so would mean calling attention AGAIN to the vile language.

[Bensthename]

82. WHY,, would Obama apologize for a slap at a republican?

[Mezzo]

116. again, please stop lying. nt

[Orsino]

89. Sometimes it's best to ignore potty talk, as Clinton herself seems to have done.

Real politicians can usually sense a situation that should just be tip-toed away from.

I'm frankly surprised that some Clinton supporters thought it might have damaged their candidate.

120. This is 2004 all over again.

It mirrors the Whoopi incident when she used vulgar language to refer to Bush and the right-wing called for her head.

Interesting how no one is pointing out that Randi's replacement, Richard Belzer, has quite the potty mouth during his stand-up routine.

Randi's given her side of what went down, but I guess that doesn't interest you.

[madrchsod]

121. digging up old news to prove....what?

[dailykoff]

127. Let's stage a fake "protest" and hand out fake homemade "signs."

Oh wait, Hill's PR firm already tried that one.

[cooolandrew]

129. Randi has nothing to do with them. Plus ain't it great she' back. =)

Way to set back all women.

[im10ashus]

140. Are all Mezzos as obtuse?

WHY would Obama or McCain have to "denounce Randi Rhodes"? She is not working for either of their campaign and her words were her own.

[walldude]

148. Didn't you get the memo?

A radio host calling Hillary a whore on a Saturday night "comedy" routine is equivalent to a sitting U.S. Congressman calling Obama "boy". And if you don't believe that you are (choose one)

1.Stupid

2.A Hypocrite

3.A Misogynist

4. Destroying the Democratic party.

:rofl:

[ima_sinnic]

143. and Molehillary has integrity??

what a fucking joke! since when is Randi Rhodes Obama's "responsibility"?

If Molehillary had any integrity, she wouldn't be bringing down the Democratic Party with her faux outrage over Obama's remarks that she had her goon secretly tape. She is an unprincipled piece of baggage--she could have said, you know, he's right, people are angry and bitter over the shafting they've gotten for the last 8 years, but here's what I'd do about it. But oh no, not Billary--she has to make sure that McCain has talking points far into the GE, like the stinking TURD she is, the fucking traitor. She is nothing but a republican, and you know it.

[JoFerret]

149. Insane profanity from RR

too bad

[ashtoncusher]

151. Rhodes is not affiliated to any campaign

They don't have to do anything.

[bridgit]

159. Oh no, calling Annie Oakley a phony "duck blind" pop gun shoot'n whore is fair game...

[Beacool]

160. On this board do you expect the Kool-Aid gang to agree with you?

Please, they are still excusing Obama's "bitter" remarks. They have no problem with anyone calling Hillary a big fu*** whore. Even though the only whore was the one who said it in the first place.
