1. her cackle in really unnerving

[Tangerine LaBamba]

4. She was trying to be preemptive

That was her "good old girl laugh," the kind that was supposed to show KO how little the Scaife thing meant, how lightly she was taking it.

He called her on it, sort of, later in the show, asking Richard Woolfe, "Why was she laughing?"

She's looking more and more like Howdy Doody these days.

[MindMatter]

18. Somebody has coached her to do that

She has been coached that in those vanishingly rare times that people ask her difficult questions for which there is no good answer, she is to stall for time by manufacturing a dismissive laugh, as if to say, "That's a great joke. Now ask me a real question."

Why is she not prepared to answer these questions. Why is she not coached to look the questioner in the eye and say, (without starting every sentence with "ya know") "I'm glad you asked me that question. I met with Mr. Scaife because ... And I realize it may look like an unconventional move. However, we are in a new era here with our nation facing u8npresedented problems. I believe the next President will have to be effective at bridging some of the polarity that has paralyzed us ..."

How hard would that be? What they hell is her team doing with her, anyway?

Ready on day one, my ass.

2. As perfect a demonstration of 'inappropriate affect' as I've ever seen.

Gobama!

[tekisui]

3. She made her bed, she can lie in it.

[DJ13]

5. The lady is a tramp

She'll be anyones friend to try and gain an advantage of Obama.

[MannyGoldstein]

6. Scaife Funds A Group That Calls For Killing Homosexuals

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Mellon_Scaife#Political_donations

I still don't understand why almost nobody thinks this is important.

In any case, it's very, very disturbing that The Clintons would welcome the endorsement of someone working to kill homosexuals.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

7. I was under the impression...

That Obama was all down on the GLBTI community? At least that is what I have read here on DU.

/snark

[Tellurian]

8. Troubling Obama would sit in front of a racist minister for 20 yrs HATING whites and AMERICA!

calling him his "spiritual adviser" and believe for a second Obama doesn't agree with him..

[MannyGoldstein]

9. How Do *You* Feel About Executing Gays? [nt]

[Tellurian]

12. Manny, we know how Obama feels about Gays.. he's untrustable.

I've always supported the GLBT community. I see you have a problem addressing my post. I understand, it's too much for you to address the Truth about your candidate.

[MannyGoldstein]

13. I Asked You A Question

Can you answer it?

[Tellurian]

14. I answered the question..

I don't advocate execution for anyone whether they are gay or not..secondly, Richard Sciafe is NOT Hillary's Spiritual adviser. He was her dire enemy...see my link from your ambiguous post:

Yet despite their differences with the Administration, neither was ready to help bring down the man they consider the most gay-friendly president the nation has ever seen. "In the six-hour interview, they kept trying to solicit an answer to the question, Did I dislike the president? Did I feel betrayed?" says Mixner. "I tried to explain to them that though I have had strong disagreements with the White House, I would have nothing to do with Clinton haters. I'm still a supporter of this administration. "

Hattoy, the White House liaison to the Department of the Interior, says he had an equally unexpected experience with Starr's gumshoes. "They called me in and said, `One of your jobs at the White House personnel office was to hire homosexuals to the highest level of government,'" he says. "I couldn't help answering sarcastically, `Yes, I was very successful. Gay people are everywhere.'

Now, explain to me how you can support a man for the presidency who identifies as a bigot against Gays and whites?

[MannyGoldstein]

16. I Don't

Unless you can provide a link of Obama saying something bigoted about Gays and Whites.

Don't you find it disturbing that Clinton would seek the endorsement of someone helping a group that wants to kill homosexuals?

[Tellurian]

19. Hillary never sought Scaife's endorsement..

why so much trouble keeping your lies straight?

Here is an interesting article summing up Obama in a nutsehell:

a brief teaser quote:

"This is what Democrats get if they choose an inexperienced faculty-lounge lizard as their presidential candidate. People tend to assume that a black candidate has a lot of street sense, but Obama increasingly comes off as a classic Ivy League brainiac too impressed by his own SAT scores to change a tire without delivering an oration on the economics of rubber tree cultivation."

[XemaSab]

22. Obama has denounced several unsolicited endorsments

Why doesn't Hillary denounce this one? :shrug:

[Tellurian]

24. Can you provide a list? I haven't heard of any..

[XemaSab]

27. Let's see....

Louis Farrakhan for one...

[MannyGoldstein]

23. She She Chose To Attend A Meeting With Scaife

For the purpose of an endorsement.

[Tellurian]

25. Not according to this video...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92G3Nl95N-k

[MannyGoldstein]

26. Video Does Zero To Refute My Statement

Nada

[Tellurian]

28. It refutes your statement perfectly,

Hillary DID NOT ask Scaife for his endorsement. Any other interpretation, would be a Lie.

[jettison]

11. Give me one example

Just ONE example where Rev. Wright says "I hate whites" or where he claims that black people are, in any way, superior to whites. He doesn't. You won't find it. You won't find it in writing, and you won't find it taped. It doesn't exist.

[stlsaxman]

20. If Wright hates whites and America - why in God's Name did he serve in both

the Navy AND Marines and why did he get THREE Presidential Commendations from Lyndon Banes "Evil Whitey" Johnson???

Post the transcript/video where he says he hates white people and America? you cannot.







"May the baby jesus shut your mouth and open your mind"- Don Van Vliet.

[Tellurian]

29. So what. Timothy McVeigh was a decorated soldier..

serving in the military is no evidence of patriotism.

Wiki Wright, he's a radical Black Separatist. And please do your own research.

[dionysus]

32. what the hell does that have to do with this thread?

[izzybeans]

33. Try being truthful for a change.

[gtar100]

35. Those are the RW talking points. Wright doesn't hate whites or America. Those are Lies.

Which ever candidate you support, repeating lies about any person does you no good. It's not hard to dig deeper into the words of Reverend Wright to find out that he was grossly taken out of context.

[happydreams]

36. Sheeet, that would take out a very large number of Repukes....

:crazy:

[evolvingsteve]

10. well, with her flowing attitude with ABC....

.....she's in this other world, this perspective..... that has her believe that she can be a part of the scum inner circle elite....with millions of dollars....while openly welcoming lobbyists and their money....and still thinking she can prove that she's "In Touch" with the American people..........it's not even the high or low road anymore that she's on...it's whatever road will get her to the White House in the End.....let's just all stand together and not allow her to beat Obama, which I'm almost positive on a flip-side that she isn't aware that she will get beaten regardless of her slimy efforts....


YES WE CAN!!!!!!!

[stlsaxman]

15. The epitomous shameless opportunist.

that's not laughter you hear- she's cackling like a "Mother Vulture".

[SlingBlade]

17. DUH, She's a Republican People !

R-E-P-U-B-L-I-C-A-N

[Tellurian]

30. If she were a Republican, she'd be running as one.

One thing about Republicans, they respect intelligent People. Hillary isn't a "Lounge Lizard", as Obama was described, impressed with her own SAT scores.

[DCKit]

37. "One thing about Republicans, they respect intelligent People."

What? What? What?

Seven years of this shit, half the crowd recycled from the Reagan and Bush I white houses and you're crediting them with intelligence? That's not intelligence: It's political savvy and the willingness to go to any length, to gain and maintain power. Even worse, it's a hive-mind at the lower levels - the willingness to sacrifice oneself for the good of the larger organism and anyone who believes it is their duty to "take one for the team" after the team as repeatedly demonstrated that their expectation of devotion is a one-way proposition, is an idiot.

[XemaSab]

21. Her laughter is very odd

:shrug:

[babylonsister]

31. She believes in redemption; would that apply to people who DON'T

vote for her? :eyes: And that laugh, we always hear it when she's nervous.

[ForeignSpectator]

34. As a sign of being nervous...

...I'd take someone's high frequency blinking ( know who I mean? ) over this disrespectful and unnerving cackle anytime...
