Hillary Clinton: I'm More American Than He Is

The kitchen sink must be just about empty, because now Hillary Clinton is using an argument that would make Karl Rove blush: she's making the case that she's more authentically American than Barack Obama.

I've edited together the essence of her message. Even if you've seen her statement before, watch this clip -- it's short, and I promise it'll be worth your while:

There was no subtlety to her point: in her four minute long attack on Obama, Hillary Clinton used America (or one of its forms) 18 separate times. Compare that to her New Hampshire, when in a twelve minute victory speech she used it just ten times.

Obviously, there's nothing wrong with using the word America in a political speech. But there is something wrong with using it as a political weapon. And that's exactly what Hillary Clinton was doing today....

5. hee hee...

that puke fest is pretty impressive!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

6. Obama had better win the nomination, or we are completely screwed

[ihavenobias]

16. I never used to feel that way about her

I disagreed with her politically more than I did with the other candidates, but I never had anything personal against her until the last couple of months (give or take, starting with the 3am ad, the "as far as I know", the praising John McCain, etc.).

Now I'm am truly disgusted by her. It's funny (in a sad way) when Hillary supporters say the feel the same about Obama, as if HE was the one employing such disgusting and republican campaign tactics THIS late in a Democratic primary while also praising the Republican nominee.

Exactly what do they have to be disgusted by, other than maybe they buy into Hillary's awful attacks and it makes them have to hate Obama? And or they resent him for being ahead and or they resent him for "putting Hillary in the position" to stoop so low?

[tnlefty]

21. Thank you for saying this better than I could. Mine began with

both of them propping up McSame while taking swipes at another Democrat. Both of these candidates were always at the bottom of my list of choices when the field was larger so I suppose I've gravitated toward the one who wasn't praising and propping up the McSame. I have a much older friend (70+), who is on our state executive committee who rarely speaks really ugly against a fellow democrat and he's been very vocal to me (I mentioned it first) about the behavior and tactics of the Clintons. He's not the only elected anyone that I've spoken with who changed their preference post the McSame praise, followed by the 'kitchen sink" and "Tonya Harding" strategies unfolding. Seems to be a sense of :wtf:

I'm dreading attending the TN Federation of Democratic Women's Convention next weekend.

[SlicerDicer-]

29. vomitose grandiose indeed

[gateley]

2. Really, can we even consider him an American at all?

A CHURCH going American? The RIGHT KIND OF Church going American?

Just when I think she can't get any lower...

[Jwente]

3. Honest or Dishonest American Hillary?

Hillary said:
"I'll fight for every single job in America – and create millions of new, high paying jobs
that can't be outsourced. President Bush has stood by and watched as we've lost 3
million manufacturing jobs. And he's done nothing about the loopholes in our tax code
that actually encourage companies to ship jobs overseas."

Clinton campaign was supposedly "outraged" by NAFTA... but this wasn't her story when her husband, during his administration, pushed this calamity through. She praised NAFTA saying it was good for New York and America.<a href=" http://www.politicswest.com/20681/did_clinton_explicitly_support_nafta">Did Clinton Explicitly Support NAFTA?</a>

While most think the constant patterns of lying is insignificant, it speaks clearly to the candidate's credibility or the lack thereof. Of course we are expected to forget... The lies about Bosnia (sniper fire) that husband Bill brought back. She embellished the hospital story in which both mother and infant dies. She distanced herself from Mark Penn who was actively pushing to expand NAFTA into South America, but she state that she is opposed to it. Now he's demoted, not fired. Clinton is insulting the American's intellegence. Honest? or Dishonest? You make the call!

I imagine if lying with no remorse and deceiving voters makes her more AMerican than Barack... then she wins the argument.
How can Hillary tell voters that she can identify with the same struggles they endure when he Clinton's raised $109 million dollars between 2000 - 2007?

[madrchsod]

11. "I'll fight for every single job in America –

and create millions of new, high paying jobs that can't be outsourced."

i had two union jobs that were high paying with excellent benefits and guess what-the forging industry moved to india and china...so when you see a wrench or a hammer that`s made in china or india i used to make them .

if you see some steel beams on a truck in america there is a good chance that steel is`t made by american workers like me but a worker in mexico or china

ya i`m bitter and pissed off ....obama speaks me


'that mill ain`t never coming back-in my home town'

[JeanGrey]

20. How does one create millions of jobs that

"can't be outsourced"? Even Unions cannot stop this. What a crock.

[Liberal Gramma]

26. Lawn mowing. House cleaning. McDonald's. Wal-Mart. Baby-sitting

Service jobs can't be outsourced because they serve a local area. Unfortunately, they pay the lowest. To defeat outsourcing, we need to start giving companies pay a living wage and that use US labor a tax break.

[JeanGrey]

39. Think that is going to happen?

[Liberal Gramma]

47. I guess it depends on who controls Congress

I'd like to see it happen. I'd also like to see those companies that headquarter in tax havens be taxed on their US sales and that one's more likely.

[JeanGrey]

52. So would I but no matter who controls Congress it isn't

going to happen.

[melody]

4. She is beneath contempt now

This is so grossly sad.

[goclark]

32. Do you think she has some shots of Jack Daniels

before she takes the stage?

Something is seriously wrong with this lady.

Is there a psychologist in the house?

:crazy:

Insecurity maybe?

Wants to have power over Bil? Does she feel that she can put him in his place when she is President?

I just don't get it.

[Elidor]

7. Thank god I won't have to vote for that slimy piece of work

No class at all.

[DIKB]

8. Utterly contemptible

and beyond defense. I guess that's why you won't be seeing many Hillary defenders here.

Can we all agree her tactics are disgusting and divisive? She SHOULD NOT be our nominee.

[aquart]

9. No, we've mostly left in disgust of YOU.

Your vile self-righteousness (and this "you" is Obama-supporter wide) is utterly repulsive. I'm sure you'll win. I can't detect a difference between your tactics and those of loyal Bushies.

You've demonized a decent woman. Those of us without blinders can see that clearly.

But continue to justify the intense ugliness of your campaign. Continue to pretend the stink is roses.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

10. Kitchen sink, anyone? Richard Mellon Scaife? Limbaugh? Faux noise?

Kitchen sink strategy, clearly meant to kneecap Obama.

Granting interview to head of Vast RIght Wing Conspiracy, Richard Mellon Scaife?
Scaife who pushed the rumor/theory that Hillary murdered Vince Foster?
(remember that Moveon.org launched in order to defend the Clintons from Scaife?

Bill Clinton Interview on Rush Limbaugh Show by guess host Mark Davis, day of TX and OH
primaries?

Clinton surrogate Ed Rendell goes on Faux Noise, tells them Faux is fairest and most balanced?

NAFTA,

TUZLA (if a place is too dangerous for the president, they send the first lady there, oh and
by the way, their only child and Sinbad too)

Columbia - oh sure Hillary disagrees with her advisor and also her "husband".
Bill's payment for advocating for the Columbia Free trade, thats nothing to do with Hillary.

[DIKB]

14. Really, left because of...

a former Kucinich and then an Edwards supporter. Who found Hillary's negativity, and repuke tactics too offensive to support her.

I support Obama as my THIRD choice. There is no arrogance, solely a reasoned acceptance that he and his tactics are far more likely to be successful. Her tactics, and siding with McCain in numerous attacks make it so that I am unable to support her.

That and her voting record:

Flag-burning bill (waste of time, and repuke pandering)
Anti-Cluster Bomb Ban (hello dead children)
Kyl-Lieberman Amendment (roundabout Iran War Declaration)
Iraq War Vote (need I say anything?)

If you have a doctor who you've seen 200 times, mostly for minor ills, but 10 of the large procedures he has SERIOUSLY messed up, would you STILL go to him?

[Mrhyde719]

42. great comment

I especially like the doctor analogy. so true

[FatDave]

22. It doesn't matter how many times you repeat it

The Obama campaign is not the ugly, underhanded one in this race. You can say it is as much as you want, that won't make it true. I've seen you guys compile your lists of Barack's attacks on Hillary, and the best you can come up with is "he said she'll do anything to win!" and you know what? She's showed time and time again that she will do anything to win, so I don't see how that's really an attack. Now "change you can xerox", that's an attack. Calling him elitist and implying he's unamaerican? That's an attack. The 3AM bullshit? An attack.

And for you to say "I can't detect a difference between your tactics and those of loyal Bushies" on a post where your candidate is attacking somebody as unamerican? Are you fucking kidding me??? Open your eyes, man! Hillary's the one who's increasingly on the same side as John McCain. Hillary's the one campaigning on fear. Hillary's the one running the scorched earth, party-be-damned-as-long-as-I-get-mine campaign. You can point the finger all you want at Obama, but the facts are not on your side, man. Not even fucking close to on your side. They're not even in your hemisphere.

[flor de jasmim]

38. Thanks for saying what was on my mind (now I don't have to!)

As for Hillary...

:nopity:

[GainesT1958]

24. Well, the blood of all those AMERICANS...

Killed in Iraq is--in large part--on HER hands!:mad:

It was OK to protest to get HER generation's soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines out of Viet Nam, but not OK to do so to keep THIS generation of soldiers, airmen and Marines out of Iraq. Or to protest in favor of getting them out now. And the economy? Who said anything about her being able to help--or even caring to help--any of us in trouble during this severe Bush recession?

She's a hyprocrite, and a liar. And goodness knows we've had enough of those in the White House during the last seven years. And she's about to get the magnitude of defeat handed to her she so richly deserves. So much for her form of arrogance and yes, her form of elitism.

B-)

[mythyc]

12. god i'm so sick of her

:puke:

[IndependentDem]

13. P & R

:puke:

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

25. does P & R stand for what I think it does?

puke and repuke???

[crankychatter]

15. that's juicy good and you are very naughty

thanks

[FOS]

17. Is It Time Yet ?

Is it time to finally admit that there is only ONE Democrat left in this race? I mean , seriously . The last time she pulled this Republican Talking Point attack on Barack Obama , she lost Bill Richardson's endorsement. The Super-Dels are paying attention and the more they see Hillary talking and attacking like a Republican , the more they see Barack Obama as the DEMOCRATIC Partys nominee. Does she not see that?



:shrug:

[progetto]

46. next week. after the PA primary would be good

she needs a blow out to justify staying in.

[Politicalboi]

18. Maybe Obama

Is Muslim after all :sarcasm:
As far as Hillary knows he's not

[Kittycat]

19. What disgusting Bush-like vile she spews.

[Yes We Did]

23. Her attacks against Obama are repugnant because she thinks we're dumb

She thinks most dems are like the Republicans who voted for Bush.

[MannyGoldstein]

27. Hooray For The Internet

Well done.

[MindMatter]

28. Uuuuh ... Where were the people?

This looked like one of those CSpan feeds of late night sessions on the House floor where this is one person speaking and three Representatives on the floor.

This woman needs to go now.

[concerned canadian]

30. okay, that's the final 2 headed straw for me

Just when snipergate became a thing of the past, Bill brings it back into the limelight. Why? Wouldn't getting the soldiers

back home, the healing process begun, a more intelligent strategy, if not a pressing concern, as a lead up to the GE? It almost

seems like a diversion tactic that FUOX news generally employs. Saying Hillary was being 'beat up by the press' when it's been

Hillary who has attacked Obama, relentlessly, with more expressed fake anger, indignation and outrage than she has ever displayed

toward Bush or the recently released news of W knowing of and giving the nod to torture. Hitting OBAMA where it can damage him

the most, instead of directing the focus to the real culprits, the criminals in high places.

The problem for the Clintons is we've all seen this movie before and we know it always ends badly. Americans who are waking up

and people who wish and pray for the best outcome for America want the story where the hero wins, and that hero is not HIllary

Clinton or Bill. And it certainly can't be John McCain.

[Zambero]

31. There was Bill Clinton: "I Feel Your Pain" , and now there's...

Hillary Clinton: "Real Americans don't feel pain"

Or, if they do, they simply brush it off and vote for Republicans and/or DINO's

[rch35]

33. she makes me wanna vote 3rd party. nt

[Jack Rabbit]

34. That's pretty lame

About 30 years ago, I married a young lady who was born and until then, lived her entire life in South Korea. She was 21 at the time.

We were married for about 20 years and had two children. Our children are as American as Mrs. Clinton. I am proud of them.

I only hope Mrs. Clinton is not trying to imply that a bi-racial child, one of whose parents comes from abroad, is somehow less American than a middle class child whose ancestor came from Europe generations ago. It just isn't true, and she knows it.

[Hamlette]

35. I grew up in a church going family????????????????????????

What a bitch. A monster.

Attacking Obama's family.

Cheap.

Cheap.

I've had it.

If she's the candidate?

It's gonna take a lot to get me to the polls.

It will, however save me a lot of money because I won't give her a dime!

I guess the clintons always were this bad. Now I know where the hatred came from.

[wisteria]

36. I have lost all my respect for Senator Clinton.

I thought I could still vote for her if she were our candidate, but now, I don't think I can bring myself to do that. I am questioning the idea that any Dem is better than a Repub. I am no so sure anymore (even though I despise McCain) because more and more she seems to be show us she is more Republican than Democrat. (wasn't she a Republican when she was younger?)

[FlyingSquirrel]

37. How many of these can I legally use in one post?

[ForeignSpectator]

51. Do you have a shrine for the guy who invented "copy/paste"?

...watching that puke squad is mesmerizing, can't stop watching...

[eagertolearn]

40. I believe in people showing their love for their country.....

by the way they run their own lives. When I see american flag stickers all over someone's car it makes me wonder what they are feeling guilty about. It's kind of like when I went to a catholic church with my godmother once(when I was in HS hadn't been to a church in years) to help her out with her three kids and I looked around and noticed that all the "mean" kids(and kids making poor choices) from my high school were there. Now many years later I see the same thing happening where there are some adults who go to church every Sunday and who put the flag out every holiday but they are not "good" people. It's sad to see Hillary Clinton stooping to such lowness. I just want to tell her "get real again".

[Snarkoleptic]

45. Flag pins are a cheap disguise for many of today's worst scoundrels.

It's a mad compulsion and permits bushco to continue their anti-American work without being questioned.

[fighterdem6]

41. Did Hillary really say that? Or are you making it up?

did HIllary really say she was more American than Obama?

[SaveOurSovereignty]

43. Elitist?

How can someone who attends bilderberg meetings call another person an elitist?

[JBoy]

44. It's "hard work" getting all those "Americans" into a 4 minute speech.

Rove would be proud.

[2rth2pwr]

48. "Americans" are insulted by what Obama said.

[AZBlue]

49. I despise her. She's not representative of America at all.

Who the eff does she think she is?

[CADEMOCRAT7]

50. Hillary Supporters, pleassse

Please ask Hillary to remember to protect our party while she is doing everything she possibly can to win.

[jackson_dem]

53. Please. It is now a crime in Obama's "new politics" to mention America?
