In case you missed this, in Michael Moore's lengthy endorsement,
the part that blew me away - the part I copied and pasted and emailed to everyone I know who is not already an Obama supporter:

Say it, Obama! Say that when she and her husband were having marital difficulties regarding Monica Lewinsky, who did she and Bill bring to the White House for 'spiritual counseling?' THE REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT!"

But no, Obama won't throw that at her. It wouldn't be right. It wouldn't be decent. She's been through enough hurt. And so he remains silent and takes the mud she throws in his face.

That's why the crowds who come to see him are so large. That's why he'll take us down a more decent path. That's why I would vote for him if Michigan were allowed to have an election.

2. Moore brought up Lewisky? That's a scummy thing to do.
Framing Hillary as somehow at fault for Bill's mess is a sick and hateful thing to do.

45. I can imagine what Ignored just said. LOL.

Thank you for the OP. I wish Michael Moore came out with this point
a while back. It seems that everything Hillary threw at Obama was
hypocritical.

25. Oh, that's fucking funny. Way to deliberately miss the point.
But I'm glad you're acknowledging that talk of Pastor Wright equals "scummy" campaigning.

Whoooooo-DOGGIE!

You really had to bring out the big reframing bullshit cannons on that one, didn't you?

There are times when supporting your own candidate is understandable, and then there are times like now. COME ON.

You don't think Jeremiah Wright actually PASTORING the Clintons isn't a problem for Senator Clinton?

4. Wow. K&R. Wow.
If this is true, than it's a double-barreled blast, highlighting:
* The shattering hypocrisy of The Clintons (not really news, I suppose)
* The high road that Obama has chosen to walk

Wow.

47. Correction, when BILL asked Wright to be there, Wright was
But it may be that the Reverend Wright spurs painful reminders for Hillary. I would imagine that anything involing the whole Lewinsky mess has less-than-positive associations for her. Imgaine if your husband cheated, it became very public, and he compensated by bringing in a bunch of ministers to shout forgiveness. It may stick in her craw just to see him and be reminded of that time.

48. wouldn't seeing Bill remind her of that? wouldn't The White House remind her of that?
Edited on Mon Apr-21-08 03:57 PM by FLDem5
wouldn't seeing all those Congressmen/Congresswomen and Senators who publicly scolded Bill and fought to impeach him remind her of that?

If she couldn't take the memory, she would leave Washington. She has embraced Washington; I doubt a supportive Pastor from back in the day would be the tipping point.

I can't believe she'd be such an idiot to push this thing, when she is so vulnerable on the exact same thing! This demonstrates she not only lacks decency, she also lacks common sense.

She did the same thing with Ayers. Obama was on a board with him but Bill pardoned members of the Weather Underground.

46. Worse yet, Ayers stopped when the war stopped ... and never killed anyone.

The folks Bill commuted were cop killers who turned to bank robbery after the war and only stopped because they got caught.

Thanks for keeping this thread up there, so people can see what a fucking hypocrite Hillary is with her feigned "outrage" over Jeremiah Wright.
