CBS News just did a piece on the "Screw 'em" White people Hillary Comments

[FrenchieCat]

on the news. Said that she might have some explaining to do.

They focused on the hypocritical aspect of her riding Obama hard on his Bitter comment.

1. The question is what big bombs are going to drop today

to linger through the weekend. This is the last chance for the kitchen sink
and they haven't scored a hit yet.

[democracy1st]

2. What a roller coaster ride,keep up the good work FrenchieCat

it's been a long primary and I'm burnt out,but your posts keep me going. :toast:

[Perry Logan]

3. So the media avoids real issues both during and after the debates.

[FrenchieCat]

4. I think the hypocritical part is a bit different in angle.......

She was still talking about Bitter at the debate.....

[Skwmom]

5. It's called hypocrisy. Plus, she can hardly whine about it since

she is the one who engaged is such petty, misleading, distracting behavior. Oh wait, she's played the victim for months now. Gergen and the panel laughed last night about how the Clintons (the biggest whiners of the primary) complained about Obama whining. It's pretty bad when a panel bursts out laughing at you.

Hey Bill, stop your whining. It's really unbecoming to a former president.

[depakid]

38. That's about the long and short of it

Off hand comment, taken out of context- from the mid 1990's.

[PoliticalAmazon]

49. Hillary's habit of insulting Americans she doesn't need (or even the ones she does need)...

...is an important issue.

She has already alienated many voters. She cannot be a leader of a country if she can't learn to stop insulting its citizens.

[MagickMuffin]

6. Presenting the Next President of the United States

Barack Obama

[Zachstar]

30. I look forward to it!!

[futureliveshere]

7. Thats good news.. After all the 'vetting' river flows both ways. Hope CNN/MSNBC pick it up.

[FrenchieCat]

8. I'm sure they will

[FrenchieCat]

9. They just played it again......

it was damning!

2nd play within the last hour.

[flpoljunkie]

37. Looks like media is suppressing Hillary's "Screw em" comment, other than CBS's Katie Couric.

Am I wrong? It seems to have died a quick and painless death. The Clinton camp must be thrilled.

[rndmprsn]

10. K&R i hope "screw em" gate gets legs

[Zachstar]

21. If CBS is running news about it then the others will quickly follow.

Like a snowball rolling down a hill. The snowball will grow until Clinton apologizes and breaks it apart.

She has a small change to surprise the media. She will have to act within 12 or so hours in my view.

[Fyddlestyx]

11. K & R

I was just reading this at HuffPo before I came over.

[H2O Man]

12. Nominated. I would hope

that Obama supporters nominate this OP, and keep the thread kicked up to the top.

[simmonsj811]

13. kicking to the top!

:kick: :kick: :kick:

[Pacifist Patriot]

14. Excellent. Because we certainly can't have the media do any stories on...

process or policy.

[Zachstar]

15. Then that seals it "Screw em-Gate" is on!

A simple apology Clinton that is all I ask.

"I'm sorry I was wrong"

And this is done Clinton. There is NO need to turn this into bittergate lite.

[catgirl]

16. I'm glad this is finally getting exposure

I hope the small town voters see this.

[Zachstar]

18. They wont have to see it as purely negitive if she just quickly apologizes.

From what I saw in earlier topics it seemed like Clinton was preparing to deny this.

And that will only set things up for a scandal going into PA.

Just apologize Clinton!

[City Lights]

17. I've got the local news on here (WGN) and so far it's been all earthquake

for the most part. I'm glad CBS is reporting her words and hope other networks follow suit. Let the vetting begin! ;-)

Recommended.

[tblue37]

19. But I hate this, because it just reinforces the Republicans'

(and the media's) narrative that Dems in general are elite snobs who look down their noses as working class whites. Sure, it's about Hillary, but once again a Clinton's unfortunate choices have given the Republicans a nasty broad brush to smear the Democrats with. At least it is coming out now, so it can maybe lose a leg or two before the general election. But damn, I wish the CLinton's would think before they blather!

[Zachstar]

20. Well can't change the past. But clinton has an oppertunity now to apologize and be the better person

She can BEAT the media before she gets politically attacked by the media like they did to Obama.

[caseycoon]

22. Just curious....

Is there any proof she actually said this other than what someone wrote in a book?
Do not kill me, I am not a Clinton supporter in disguise.
:hide:

[rodeodance]

24. none. just a guy selling his book

[caseycoon]

26. Hi rodeodance!

:hi:
It bugs me that there is so much total crap about both candidates that may or may not be true. It all makes Dems in general look bad. Plays right into the right wing.

[FrenchieCat]

27. There are three witnesses to her saying this.

I just saw that thread floating around here somewhere......

[caseycoon]

31. Thanks FrenchieCat

I guess I'm not surprised, but it's pretty sad.
I appreciate you finding that for me.
:)

[catgirl]

34. Thanks for the link

[catgirl]

33. Clinton called the kettle black

that's the only reason why this was dug up.

[Zachstar]

29. Do you really believe that?

Think for a second. There are multiple witnesses and more than likely this is going to start to build quickly.

Please don't take the wrong route with this! She needs to just quickly apologize or this is going to harm her going into PA!

[Spider Jerusalem]

28. Independently confirmed by three other people so far.

[caseycoon]

32. Thanks Spider J n/t

[livingmadness]

23. Far be it from me to want to play defense

and up front I want to say that I do believe the hypocrisy is astounding. That said I listened to an interesting interview about the 'screw 'em' comment the other day. Apparently this was Hillary at her finest who probably many of us would admire (oh I wish she were still around). Basically she was keen to push through progressive agenda and the objections that were raised were regarding the Regan Democrats who wouldn't like 'socialized' medicine etc. That is the context in which she said screw 'em, and to be honest I would have said the same.

Having said that, she attacked Obama on his comments knowing that they didn't mean what she tried to say they did, and to justify it on the basis of 'the Republicans will bring this up' is just ridiculous. Regardless, its over now. Thank god!!!

[billyoc]

25. To be fair, they only screwed the white people because they're people,

not because they're white. :evilgrin:

K&R

[NJmaverick]

35. Wonder why FAUX news hasn't run with this

Oh that's right they want Hillary to stay in the race as long as possible, so she can continue to attack and bloody Obama.

[Zachstar]

36. I cant wait for Fox news to fail as a news company in a changed country.

No longer will it be on in the white house 24/7!!

[Arugula Latte]

39. Plus they want her to be the nominee, 'cuz she's the weakest link against Gramps.

[Bensthename]

43. and have her to run against grandpa..

[otohara]

40. I Can't Wait To Hear Her Explanation

how Obama supporters forced Hillary folks to smoke pot until they agreed to vote for the leader of this new cult.

[Bensthename]

44. happy 420

B-)

[AtomicKitten]

41. The Media Heathers reserve the right to manipulate the flow of information, doncha know?

[Bensthename]

42. Oh My F....... God.. MSM shows somehing negative on Hillary? It's about time.

The worst I ever hear on Hillary is how she lost a state or has money issues. They never dare show one of her "gaffs",, and right before PA.. I bet she stops her MSM from showing this any more.

[Bensthename]

46. Just as I thought. This was posted Friday and not a peep from MSM since.. Sounds about right,

MSM wants her to sin so bad it is disgusting.

[Bensthename]

45. This was posted Friday.. Has this been played out any moreover the weekend?

[PoliticalAmazon]

47. Oh, my. And so close to PA's election, too. n/t

[Bensthename]

48. It was brought up Friday and not a peep from MSM since.

[PoliticalAmazon]

50. Oh, well that was a token mention if it happened on Friday. They didn't want...

...the story to go anywhere.

[Bensthename]

52. They are scared of an Obama nomination..

Or scared that would end the race and their ratings will fall until the summer campaign kicks in.

[flpoljunkie]

51. From anyone other than CBS's Katie Couric on Thursday?

[Cha]

53. I read on another thread that

they hadn't seen this "screw 'em" comment from hilary mentioned anywhere else in m$$fm but katie couric. I was surprised then that they had mentioned this!

And then I guess the pope came to town.

[meow mix]

54. we dont need hillary out there alienating democrats from the democratic party

this is a disaster

[ORDem]

55. K
