WOW. Did you guys just see Carville threaten Obama donors on AC 360 just now?

[TeamJordan23]

He was talking about the NYT article today and saying it was the Obama donors and indirectly, the campaign, that was responsible for leaking the story to the NYT.

He also warned these people (referring to the Obama donors/campaign) should not be playing with fire or else they are going to get burned. He also called the leaking stupid, reckless, something the Obama campaign knew about, and how it could come back to burn them.

The NYT article he was referring to was this one: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/09/us/politics/09debt.html (which discusses Obama donors being reluctant to retire Clinton's debt)

[ErinBerin84]

1. yeah, that was pretty funny

"There are some children playing with matches over at the Obama campaign!"

[Diane R]

2. James Carville is not a nice man, and he can't love his country when he tries to sabotage Obama.

[scarletwoman]

9. James Carville is a festering boil on the buttocks of the Dem party.

Words cannot convey how much I loathe that snake-headed monstrosity masquerading as a human.

:puke:

sw

[NYC_SKP]

16. Well, on the Right buttock at least.

:rofl:

:puke:

[madura]

21. he sure has calmed down since the primary

he was eye rolling frothing insane then. still an asshole but at least he's not flailing around in a rage like not too long along.

[krawhitham]

33. Gee, must be a lot of people here at DU that does not love their country too

[blm]

34. He sabotaged Ohio Dem voters in 2004 for Hillary2008 - of course his crew would sabotage Obama2008

for Hillary2012.

No matter what 'appearances' are supposed to convey. These people are masters at dog and pony shows. They perfected that game along with their allies at BushInc.

[sniffa]

3. Any sort of context would be greatly appreciated

:shrug:

[Tarheel_Dem]

7. I was just thinking the same thing. We don't all watch AC....nt

[TeamJordan23]

8. He was referring to the NYT article that came out today

That discussed how Obama donors have been cool to retire Clinton's debt.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/09/us/politics/09debt.html

[merh]

13. Maybe he should team up with Karen Hughes and Mark Penn

that might help - Mary should be job seeking very soon too.

[ecstatic]

4. leaking what story? nt

[ErinBerin84]

10. The NYT story about the ongoing tensions between big Obama and Hillary donors

and the "emails" from Obama big donors about how they didn't want to pay Mark Penn's debt, not a cent for that woman, etc. I mean, those weren't graceful at all, but what does the Obama campaign have to gain from leaking those?

[madura]

18. I guess it'll be all Obama's fault that he can't sooth over his people

that were mightily pissed off at how low down a campaing Hillary ran, and now she expects to be rewarded for it?
I think Obama should do all he can to make this go away in the least offensive way but there's only so much he can do - he's got a campaing to run not have to worry about poor hillary and her wallet and hurt lil feelings.

[merh]

5. What leak?

Other than the leaks in the pirogue that Cajun calls a brain.

[ret5hd]

6. What story is he referring to?

[billyoc]

11. The PUMA poster boy.

[NYC_SKP]

12. Sounds like a threat by Carville on behalf of his assmasters, do you agree?

Playing with fire?

If they don't pay off her debt?

Am I reading this right?

[Pirate Smile]

17. He was just kind of nasty with threats underlying most of the conversation.

[Mimosa]

37. Yessirree! LOL

NO $$$$$$$$$ for Hitlery!

[tularetom]

14. So what'cha gonna do james? Put on yer sheet and pointy hood

and burn a cross on the Obama donor's front lawn? You seem obsessed with matches and burning. You're a loser and your fifteen minutes of fame are over.

On yeah and take that guy you're married to with ya.

[Tinksrival]

29. Ha!

:spray:

[Pirate Smile]

15. He seemed like he was about to snap. I thought he was moving back to LA.

The nasty was barely below the surface during that interview. Creepy

edit to add - I'd just been thinking how great some of the Clinton surrogates have been lately - Terry Mc was great on Hardball. Some Clinton people I've seen on MSNBC have been really good. Carville doesn't fit into that group, I guess. No surprise. I think a lot of them have been great lately and I appreciate it. We are back to being on the same team again and I like it.

[madura]

22. there is a woman named Hillary who guests on CNN sometimes.

she has been in Hillary's camp all along but i do forget who she is and what office she holds.
She is so classy and great to listen to - even tho she was in the other camp everything she said was with manners and consideration and is now a real supporter of Obama, not one of those reluctant fakeries.

[ErinBerin84]

24. Hillary Rosen?

[madura]

27. think so, she's blonde and just plain ole pleasant. to watch and listen to.

i just did some googling and couldn't find a pic of her - get some hits about Hilary Rosen and the recording industry.
still no sure if that's her

[karynnj]

38. She was one of the most absolutely awful people in the primary

She never had one decent word for any one other than the Clintons. Her hatred for any who were with Obama and Obama himself was incredible. Her comments on Seantor Kerry were hateful - arguing that his endorsement would hurt Obama.

[madura]

40. i only saw her on CNN and have no idea who she really is.

you may be righter than I. sometimes i do judge books by covers.

[Octafish]

19. If anyone knows a leaker, it's Carville. He's married to Mary Matalin.

Isn't she the Spinologist brain behind the monkey house?

[spag68]

26. James & Mary

If they had kids, the poor things would have two assholes.

[Mimosa]

36. They have 2 daughters.

It's not the kids fault but James and Mary have 2 daughters.

[AntiFascist]

20. As if this is some sort of big mystery?

:shrug:

[zulchzulu]

23. Carville was a TURNCOAT in 2004 when he advised his wife on Election night

He let his skanky wife know the Kerry strategy to protest the Ohio vote in 2004 (as is illustrated in Woodward's book (http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/2006/10/07/did_carville_tip_bush_off_to_k/).

He's POISON.

[MarjorieG]

31. Thanks. And provisional ballots-the only enforceable remedy left-disappeared.

otherise, we needed Ohio's co-operation, which Blackwell was not going to grant.

[mckara]

25. Piss on Carville!

n/t

[snowbear]

28. I hope the DSCC, DNC, DNCC, etc.. quit using Carville's ugly mug on their donation requests!

Seems like I get mail-outs sent by the DSCC all the time from awesome people like Paul Newman --> ~~

Or from Elizabeth and John Edwards, John Kerry, etc.. etc... etc..

But dayum.. I hope that all of them will QUIT using Carville's ugly mug on mailers and e-mails from now on.. His mug on their literature can't be good for business!!!




= ACK =

[VADem11]

30. Hypocrite

The Clinton campaign was notorious for leaking information including their petty infighting. Carville just needs to go away.

[AtomicKitten]

32. I saw it. Me thinks things ain't so swell after all.

Carville made that nasty pinched face when he is PO'd and flat-out accused the Obama campaign of leaking the story of discord to the NY Times. He has no proof of that but clearly that's a minor point, to him.

What occurred to me is a constellation of occurrences: This dust-up coincides with a brand spankin' new PUMA/CapHill sponsored push to try to force superdelegates to dump Obama and put in Clinton.

Coinkidink? You be the judge.

Effin hell.

[Danger Mouse]

39. Nobody cares what the drooling PUMA/CapHill morons want.

Least of all superdels.

[Mimosa]

35. Louisianians have long HATED Carville!

James carville and friends and his sucky wife have long been 'non grata' in Louisiana.He's not a populist, he's an elitist who's for the power people. he was always disliked in New Orleans.
