Did you ever, in this whole campaign, hear anyone who even dared to say anything like this about Obama?

And it's not because there aren't nasty jokes and vicious commentary that could be made about him.

Not that nasty jokes and crude, vicious commentary and cruel personal attacks should be used against anyone to gain political advantage.

But when one side gets to throw all the rocks and mud, and has a huge, organized mudslinging team like the Media behind them, there is something very skewed about the process.

And anyone who wants to refute that needs to show where any of the exact same sort of vile personal attacks were made on Obama. Hint: the Rev. Wright debacle was about Rev Wright and his and Obama's relationship, so don't play that as anything like what was done to Hillary.

Can you imagine if Bill Mahr said anything like he did about Hillary's genitalia about Obama's there would have been rioting in the streets.

And about a former First Lady, he gets away with saying something so low.

See a new tyranny has taken over, and not only is unity a one-way street, but free speech is now abridged to the majority of people in this country.

This is NOT a levelled playing field, we are working with, but a flattened Democracy.

2. Yep. If Matthews called McCain or Obama names like those he called Clinton -
he'd be off the air. And rightfully so.

When's he going to call McCain "Captain Queeg?" He isn't.

Clinton is:
Madame DeFarge
Nurse Ratchet
Lady MacBeth

That's okay with MSNBC

Not to get too deep into this since you are clearly a HUGE clinton supporter, but there have been t-shirts made equating obama to a monkey (curious george to be exact) and clinton also alluded to obama being shot in referencing the assassination of RFK.

What has OBAMA SAID about clinton?.... What tyranny?.... You act as if Obama has stolen the election when he has won the most pledged delegates, the most states & the claim that Clinton won the popular vote, AT BEST, should have an asterisk since using those numbers means you are counting MI for Clinton while Obama was not on the ballot; so if you don't count MI or at least give Obama the "uncommitted" vote, he wins the popular vote as well.

And before you rush to your keyboard to say how I am some Huge Obama supporter, let me state now that I am not and I only signed up for an account (after reading the site for over a year) to say how ridiculous you sound

5. firstly
clinton is a terrible actor..the iron my shirt guy was an obvious plant..."can we turn the lights up" HA! then she says "sexism is alive and well" and her supporters cheer...are they cheering because sexism is alive and well? YES THEY ARE...because Hillary USES sexism as a weapon...see, so long as there is sexism, then she can put herself up as some sort of crusader...hillary NEEDS sexism...

secondly, it reminds me of last night when she said "i will make no decision" and again, the armies of autism cheer...Cheering because she will make no decision? my god, she could say ANYTHING apparently...
