HILLARY SUPPORTERS: Please email Air America! NOW!

[BuyingThyme]

Roseanne apparently just called Hillary Clinton a ho on air.

I know how upset you all were when Randi Rhodes did the same thing off air in a comedic context, so I knew you would be very very interested in this opportunity to rally around your candidate once again.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, bitter, popular vote, blah.

1. ...

:rofl: :rofl:

[Bensthename]

2. LMFAO.. MSM is her only friend....

[berni_mccoy]

34. FOX is her only friend.

And that's only because they are desperate for the ratings and she's desperate for attention.

[Bensthename]

43. Fox, and (C)linton (N)ews (N)etwork ,and 80% of MSNBC

They are desperate for a Clinton McCain race.

[leftofcool]

3. Roseanne is not worth the trouble and she is a fill in

for regulars of Air America

[thereismore]

4. c'mon Hillary fans, show some integrity. Go raise hell about it. I hope you will, and I hope

you'll choke on your faked outrage.

[MADem]

20. Wow, I just found out this thread is a great big lie. How interesting!!!!!

I think this thread is useful, though, because it CLEARLY shows a number of DUers in a pretty interesting light.

[Pyrzqxgl]

31. You know, you guys are a bunch of jerks!

It doesn't do Air America a bit of good to drop to Don Imus level,
even by a temp. You guys ought to understand that. I'm not a Hilary
supporter but needless namecalling only hurts our cause & Pots shouldn't
speak mean of kettles.

[otohara]

38. They Are Jerks, But Here's The Truth

Roseanne said the ho/bro remark on Craig Ferguson show - she is a proud Hillary supporter and a comedian vs the fake comedian at Nova.

[Tinksrival]

59. She said she's having second thoughts

Because of Hillary's Iran comments.

[otohara]

60. Well Then - Roseanne Rocks

and unlike the MSM, she actually said something about that irresponsible remark.

[MADem]

47. When you can't win on truth, turn to lies. Make shit up. Smear Roseanne, too, while you're at it.

Everyone's expendable, see?

Reprehensible thread, this is.

Suggests that some supporters think that the HOPE CHANG BELIEVE Obama agenda just isn't enough, or something. They've got to use Rovian tactics, SOME of them.

For the Obama supporters who aren't piling on to this childish shitfest of lies, you have my sympathies. These children are muddying your agenda.

[madmunchie]

58. HRC- -- ---- -------INTEGRITY??????? in the same sentence?

[Coexist]

5. Lol!

[GarbagemanLB]

6. don't forget the pots and pans

[NoodleyAppendage]

7. Waaaaa....cry babies for Hillary UNITE! Wimps...pathetic wimps. n/t

J

[TheDonkey]

8. I'll be willing to donate some pots and pans.

[dancingme]

9. Bill Kristolw ill stand up for Hillary

she's the right wing candidate.

[goclark]

10. I'm an Obama supporter and I just emailed her that it was not right

to say that at all.

[MADem]

23. You are apparently an Obama supporter who believes in the Democratic Party platform.

You are to be commended for your maturity and class.

On edit, it turns out that the premise of this thread is a great big LIE. It's a Rovian one, too.

[goclark]

57. You mean Rosanne is not going to be on Air America??

[MADem]

63. Apparently this entire thread is based on a lie. nt

[newmajority]

11. Mark Green, I DEMAND that you suspend Ms. Barr, or Arnold, or whatever it is, indefinitely

Referring to Ms. Clinton by a slang term for a prostitute is really just indefensible, don't you think?

At least you did a few weeks ago.

[lisa58]

12. I thought Rosanne was VERY pro-Hillary

[Bensthename]

16. She realized Hillary is just another political tool for DC lobbyists.

[sandnsea]

22. Really? She's against Hillary now?

I missed that, do you know more?

[Bensthename]

39. Well,

Calling someone a ho isnt exactly showing strong support for a candidate..

[sandnsea]

45. Depends on the context

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that just because she said 'ho', it was derogatory against Hillary. I'm not known for my sense of humor, but even I know that.

[Bensthename]

48. you may be right

Roseanne especially. She does have a colorful use of sarcasm..

[MADem]

53. CONTEXT is everything.

"Hos before Bros" said on Ferguson's show, not AA, is showing support.

The language may be crude, but it keyed off and satirized the "FUCKING WHOOOOOORE" business of Randi Rhodes.


I find the need to LIE and MISCHARACTERIZE here very fascinating. So much for HOPE CHANGE BELIEVE?

[MADem]

50. No. THis entire thread is a big (ha ha) LIE. Pretty pathetic, too. NT

[otohara]

35. She Is, This Thread Is About Trashing Air America

don't pay attention - you should listen however, they are talking with this woman about universal health care. Roseanne ain't no dummy

Otohara/Obama supporter

[americanstranger]

13. (taps foot, glances at watch....)

The silence is louder than a bomb, ain't it?

- as

[Ichingcarpenter]

14. She did? Oh, my God!!!!!! How Sexist!!!

I'm offended!!!

[azmouse]

15. They could throw Roseanne under the bus... or is she just dead to them?

It's not always easy to know what such delusional people will do.

[americanstranger]

51. Neither! It's all OUR fault!

I laugh at their selective outrage. It's so.... Republican of them.

- as

[MADem]

17. Roseanne Barr? Can you provide context?

You'd think she'd know better than to engage in misogynistic references, particularly when she was a victim herself of gender bias at the outset.

What's really interesting to me is how some see this kind of stuff as supposedly funny. It's actually sad. Shows how far we still have to go.

[BuyingThyme]

25. It's just comedy.

[MADem]

27. Well, she's a comedian. But WHAT is the context? Was she making fun of Randi Rhodes?

Or was she aiming the comment at HRC?

I don't understand what you mean by "It's just comedy."

[BuyingThyme]

37. I didn't hear it; I took it from the link above.

But as I understand it, she was just playing off the "hos before bros" phrase to comically express her support for Hillary. (Common nothingness.)

[MADem]

62. So why did you start this thread, when it is all a lie? What were you hoping to achieve? NT

[otohara]

28. No, No, No - This Happened

on Craig Ferguson a couple weeks ago. She proudly endorses your gal, then made a joke saying "hos before bros" She's a comedian, vs the fake one Randi Rhodes.

[MADem]

36. Ah, I see. How childish to start a thread that is a contextual falsehood. NT

[McCamy Taylor]

18. Roseanne is a shock comic. Big deal.

[americanstranger]

19. But, but, but - she called Hillary a HO!

'Ho' = 'whore.'

What would Taylor Marsh do? Where's Larry Johnson when you need him?

- as

[MADem]

26. No "fucking" in front of it, I take it? NT

[americanstranger]

32. I thought the poutrage from y'all was over the term 'whore.'

And even Roseanne knows you can't say 'fucking' on the radio.

C'mon. Not even a little bit of outrage?

Not even a smidge of righteous indignation?

Not even a modicum of offense?

Barely even a small twist in the knickers?

Thought not. Standards are a good thing, and y'all think they're so good you've all got two of them.

:rofl:

- as

[MADem]

41. Wow, is this how your team executes the HOPE CHANGE BELIEVE agenda?

By making things up, taking things completely out of context, starting up a flamefest, and then laughing about it?

That's an indication that you don't have any new ideas coming out of your campaign. You can only hold your ground by flinging shit like a pissed off toddler.

I really don't want any part of that agenda, thanks anyway. I think most of us outgrew that shit in grammar school.


Oh, lest I forget...

:rofl:

:crazy:

[americanstranger]

49. Oh, spare me.

You guys are so freakin' humor-deprived, you can't take a joke. Must suck to be that completely humorless.

I'll laugh about it all damn day if I want, because it makes it crystal-clear that your outrage is completely selective.

And you, of all people on this board, has exactly zero room to criticize anyone about flinging shit.

But, hey. I guess your PC Outrageo-meter is busted today. Your side got a liberal woman fired for saying the exactly the same thing that was said on the air today - and the only difference is the one who got fired was against your candidate, and the one whose comments you're shrugging off is for your candidate.

Better getthat Irony meter checked, too. Might need batteries.

PS: The first thread on this was started here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5720284&mesg_id=5720284

...posted by a Clinton supporter. Go call her a liar.

[MADem]

61. I don't think Senator Obama would approve of your tactics, or suggest that

people who took offense to straight out prevarication are "humor deprived."

Go on, keep laughing. Those hollow guffaws won't keep you warm over the long haul.

If that's the sort of thing you think is funny, making shit up, it says more about YOU than anything else.

I don't insult Senator Obama, and I don't make things up about him. So you can accuse me all you want, but I'd never denigrate him, because I don't think he's a bad person. He's just not my preferred candidate.

I do, however, have a problem with a number of asswipes who claim to be his "supporters." Some of them are so far out of line, you'd swear they get a paycheck straight from Rove. And that's pretty .... interesting.

[americanstranger]

65. Again. I will type s..l..o..w..l..y this time.

The Roseanne story was originally posted by a Clinton supporter - apparently one of the few left with a sense of humor.

Take it up with her. The link to that post is in the one you responded to, and you can call her a liar, if you feel the need.

If you need help using links, let me know. You seem to have trouble with very simple things. I'm here to help.

- as

[MADem]

67. That's not how it is presented in this thread, though. I stand by my assertion that

it's a cheap shot, dumb to do, and not in keeping with the ideals of the Obama campaign at all. It makes Obama look like his ideas are going right over his supporters' heads, or that half his "supporters" here are actually McCainiacs, or something. This isn't the way to win elections.

And the "Oh, you're a bit retarded" inference--in the subject line and the message body-- is unnecessary, too. That's more of that HOPE CHANGE BELIEVE, YES WE CAN, stuff, too?

[americanstranger]

68. That was for your 'asswipe' and 'Rove' comments. You're welcome.

I can do subtle little digs, too. Happy to bug you.

But I will point out that you're consistent in one respect - you're behaving exactly as your candidate does. congrats on that.

- as

[MADem]

74. Wow, so YOU are placing yourself in that category? Because "I" didn't do that!!!!

Why should YOU be "offended?"

Let's look at my comment, again:

I do, however, have a problem with a number of asswipes who claim to be his "supporters." Some of them are so far out of line, you'd swear they get a paycheck straight from Rove. And that's pretty .... interesting.


"A NUMBER OF ASSWIPES"--You place yourself amongst that number? You are one of those who "claim" to be a supporter--and are, perhaps, NOT? "SOME OF THEM...GET A PAYCHECK FROM ROVE." You're saying that YOU are one of these "some of them?"



I didn't call you an asswipe who got a paycheck from Rove for pretending to be a supporter. I merely commented that some of the "over the top" posters who are clearly harming Obama sure look like that's where they are coming from.

No one was talking about you, unless your conscience is bothering you, or something.


Wow, and you have the stones to suggest that "I'm" slow! Try reading for comprehension. If that wee shoe doesn't fit you, why are you cramming your size thirteen foot into it?

Thanks for the response, though. It was very illuminating.

[americanstranger]

75. Heh. You got me on that one.

Catch you later. The check from Rove just came in the mail, and i gotta make it to the bank.

Nice brawling with you. :D

- as

[GarbagemanLB]

33. ..and that makes a difference?

[MADem]

42. Yes...post forty one goes for you, too. NT

[newmajority]

40. Larry Johnson is busy in the Langley video lab right now

Furiously working to edit some Rosanne footage together.

[blogslut]

21. Randi Rhodes is a shock jock

What is the difference?

[zulchzulu]

24. Reframed: Roseanne Barr called Hillary Clinton a prostitute!!!!

Was she on for like 5 minutes and ate the bait.

Keep her on. She is awful.

[rsmith6621]

29. Truth Hurts....

....Roseanne apparently just called Hillary Clinton a ho on air.

She is a HO-Shill for corporate America and doesnt care about you and I......she is not a Democrat either.

[BuyingThyme]

30. Which "she"?

[Barack_America]

44. What happened to Barr's endorsement of Hillary?

She was singing her praises a couple of months ago.

:shrug:

[IndianaJones]

46. was she drunk? was she mugged? OMG. nt.

[tishaLA]

52. Done! I'm disgusted by her

TAKE HER OFF THE AIR! I WANNA BURN SOME BOOKS! IT'S ONLY 100 DEGREES IN LOS ANGELES TODAY!

[americanstranger]

54. Send up the Bat-Signal for Larry Johnson! Email Taylor Marsh!!

This shall not stand!!!!! :rofl:

(100 degrees? Wish I could get me some of that...)

[my3boyz]

55. Boooohoooo..whine..whine...I thought you all said Obama was the whiner! nt

[BuyingThyme]

56. Do you know what whining is?

If so, how does your use of the word apply to this thread?

[cui bono]

64. LMFAO!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

Careful what you wish for. Randi's gone and she NEVER said that on the air.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

66. I've given up on political talk radio altogether n/t

[powergirl]

69. Actually, Roseanne is a Clinton Supporter

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/roseanne-barr/bow-to-the-woman_b_90433.html

Remember she told Obama to "Bow to the Woman." I'm an Obama supporter, fyi. You never heard an Obama surrogate calling anyone a Ho.

[americanstranger]

71. Yeah, we were just clownin' on Clinton supporters.

Some of them did not take it very well. :D
