"Chicken"?
I mean really... if Hillary were ahead and refused (or did not immediately, within milliseconds, agree) to debate Obama --

Would she be called "Chicken"?

It's purely a term used to question someone's manhood. Childish. Pathetic.

2. Women of a certain hue can call a Black man anything without rebuke.....
But that's ok, cause one day sooner than not, she'll be addressing him Mr. President.

I've got her chickens right here in my back pocket. Same place that bill had his when he was too fucking chicken to tell the American people the truth. Where was she then? :shrug:

6. What the fuck does him being black have to do with anything?
People like you are why I don't buy Obama's unity bullshit.

12. If you base your decision on someone on a message board
or what others say, without observing the candidate yourself, and coming to an independent decision, that's sad.

27. I have observed Obama
And I've decided I don't like or trust him.

But the dozens of Clinton-hating Obama loudmouths who pollute this forum every day certainly don't help matters much.

23. Because she doesn't seem to show that kind of disrespect
towards John McCain.

Or if so, please tell me where she calls him out, and call him name.

Also, realize that the divisive person in this contest is definitely Hillary Clinton, even if you don't see it.

28. Please.
Obama has received the standard treament of any other candidate in a primary. He needs to get over himself and so do you.

25. a Black Man cannot attack a White Woman without being metaphorically chained like King Kong
Edited on Sun Apr-27-08 02:03 AM by JackORoses
She can insult him, threaten and taunt.

And all he can do is keep his eyes on the Prize.

She is a disgrace to behold.

Her Karma for this will be massive.

30. and you didn't grow up in a country where Jim Crow was law for
140 years. You don't stop thinking and doing things just because it isn't supported by law anymore. Race card shit? Too sad.

3. As a Hillary supporter, I would most certainly
call her a chicken if she refused to debate. It has nothing to do with being ahead or behind. That is an excuse.

5. She's using sexism to her advantage.
Why would a man be afraid of facing a woman?

11. Exactly what I'm saying.
And I don't get how race got into this thread above, 'cause it was completely not mentioned or implied in the OP.

7. The math is not there.
He shouldn't have to debate a candidate who no longer has a chance of winning the nomination.

He needs to be debating McCain. Why should he give her legitimacy of actually having a chance to win?

There's nothing to debate, it is a time for reconciliation.

They both participated in 21 debates, which is more than enough. All of these debates have been aired on National TV, not just in the states who were going to be voting next. If people haven't paid attention by now, they just were not interested enough to begin with.

It's time to focus on McCain!

14. I'm having fun watching them act like this.
I really am. They've obviously never heard the saying, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."

18. Time for the lame-o "Man-In-A-Chicken-Suit" stunt!!!
Ahh, yes, the last refuge of a losing candidate... have a dude in a chicken suit stalk Obama at all of his events, hopelessly clucking.

In another thread where we batted this around,, it was decided that, since the dude in a chicken suit would surely (and wisely) demand payment-up-front by the Clinton campaign, there was only one man for the job.

Mark Penn. In a big-ass fuckin' chicken suit.
