Remember when y'all had hernias over Hillary "insulting" Mississippi?

[Maddy McCall]

:rofl:

:rofl:

:rofl:

That's all y'all talked about during the week preceding the Mississippi primary.

Well, Obama fucked up with his "bitter" Pennsylvanians comment. Shall I dig up the pronouncements y'all made about Hillary's inability to lead all 50 states, if she felt that Mississippi was so backwards? Do you now have those doubts about him? I wouldn't want to accuse some of you of hypocrisy or anything.

Sometimes the chickens DO come home to roost.

1. Doubt Hill gets the margins in PA....

Obama got in Miss.

2. Scoreboard n/t

[gateley]

3. And sometimes

we, on both sides, jump on something and beat it into a frenzy beyond its actual importance.

These two instances you cite are good examples, IMO.

Can you tell I'm trying to chill? :7

[Cant trust em]

4. The difference is that Obama isn't going to disavow their importance after he loses

Like Hillary did about all of the small red states after she lost there.

[jobycom]

7. The only difference is in the fiction of the beholder. nt

[DarienComp]

5. Yep, same thing.

"People in small towns are frustrated and bitter after decades of economic neglect."

vs.

"People in small states don't matter."

Can't see any difference at all.

[JoFerret]

15. But he did not quite say economic neglect did he

Look at what he did say.

And damn his deception. Trashing the excellent record of a dem president is disgraceful.


And now he is blathering on about trade deals when the main reason for this economic shift is technological change.

[jobycom]

6. Hehe. Good point. Although Clinton lost my mother's vote over her Mississippi comments.

I think that was it, anyway. My father cancelled her vote, though. Don't tell CNN, they'd be horrified that a woman voted for Obama and a man for Clinton. Wouldn't want to shake up stereotypes.

9. Don't say "hernia". Please.

[PoliticalAmazon]

14. Obviously, a misherniaist. n/t

[Bonobo]

19. I had a hernia op last month. Don't need the reminder.

[scheming daemons]

11. Hillary was wrong about Mississippi, Obama is right about PA....

I know...

I live here.

[Maddy McCall]

13. LOL. I live in Mississippi. She WAS right about Mississippi.

[scheming daemons]

17. Ok.....I'll concede that to you, since you live there.... he's still right about PA

[Texas Hill Country]

18. sorry, but thats funny.

[scheming daemons]

23. "pwned" doesn't work coming from Hillary supporters.... the 1337 h4x0rz are Obama supporters....

...

[sandnsea]

25. Oh, so Iowa and Mississippi are a bunch of sexists

Is that what you and Hill are saying? You cling to your racist and sexist 'values' because you haven't got the brains to put together a functioning economy, is that it?

[merh]

37. Didn't he win Mississippi

?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

12. You're confusing sympathizing with insulting.

There's a difference, Silly, between pointing out that getting screwed over by the federal government makes people bitter, with simply calling people "second-class citizens."

[Maddy McCall]

16. You're confusing condescending with sympathizing.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

20. You're confusing intellectual honesty with Clinton rhetoric.

I feel your pain, Maddy.

[cliffordu]

21. Those 14 mayors that showed up for the '100 mayors for Hillary'

event completely agree!!! :rofl:

28. Sorry to derail the topic --

but I'm not familiar with your reference. Please enlighten me -- thanks!! :hi:

39. Thanks!

Man, sleep in late, and I miss all the goings-on! :hi:

[sandnsea]

22. No, she displayed the politics people are bitter over

"How can Iowa be ranked with Mississippi?" Neither had elected a woman - that had to be the reason Iowa didn't elect her, that had to be what was "at work" in those two states. She was "shocked".

Way different than expressing empathy for the bitterness people feel when politicians treat them like that.

26. Aww, the memories; good times!!

:wow: :rofl:

[merh]

27. I never found Hillary's remarks upsetting about Mississippi

I have found her whole "who gives a damn about Katrina/Rita survivors and things going on down along the Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Texas coasts after the worst natural disaster that ever hit this nation" attitude disturbing and upsetting, but I am used to her lies and smears, her words ring hollow.

32. Has what to do with this OP? eom

[bridgit]

33. Nothing. Consider it a Monty Python insertion, "And now for something completely different."

31. So many are so quick to be insulted

I think that Obama may be right about the bitterness. However, since when is it appropriate to say things just because they are true? "Hello Aunt Trudie! My but you are looking ugly today! That sweater is atrocious! You should really do something about that breath!"

I'm bitter as hell over being scammed far too often, but I don't clutch at religion or guns. It is really condescending to say such things. I've heard it said many times that religion is the knot at the end of the rope for so many people, and that very well may be true, but you don't go around saying "in your weakness you are clinging to your religion," especially to those from whom you expect a vote cast in your favor!

"Please vote for me, you silly little brainless fucks who can't manage in this life without clinging to the imaginary bearded cloud being and the guns he created."

Obama should have known better. This is a judgment call... he clearly failed the test.
