14. Because she keeps redefining the term winning....


She has won less states than obama, won less delegates than obama, and less votes than obama.

Her own SDs are abandoning her sinking ship.

2. I stop wondering weeks ago, I am sure
about her feelings.

When I saw her say that like she was so comfortable with it ~ it validated evefy sad thought.

If it walks like an elephant and talks like an elephant, it is an elephant.

4. that was out of context
Edited on Fri May-02-08 12:11 AM by IrishBloodEngHeart
I am an Obama supporter, and there is a lot about Hillary and her campaign I despise, but in this case, she was making the arguement that the rich had done well, and it was okay to tax them a bit more.

15. No she didn't....
Edited on Fri May-02-08 01:47 AM by TLM

She is very clearly cornered and trying to win over O'really. She's spouting the same anti-estate tax line of garbage that repug spew on fox.

"Rich people, God bless us, we deserve all the opportunities to make sure that our country, and our blessings, continue to the next generation."



Hill and her people know she f-ed up big time... they're already lying and claiming she said "blessed"

7. She meant that rich people have more to give back.
and are blessed to be able to pay more in taxes. If people would pay attention to the interview the may stop taking things out of context.

11. Did you give yourself a gold star for pushing BO's bitter comments?

12. Where did I do that?
And did I truncate a clip of him speaking to make it appear that he was saying the opposite of what he was saying?

13. Did you...
criticize people for only focusing on a single sentence out of a much larger point he was trying to make?

16. I don't think I had much of anything
to say about his "bitter" comments.

but nonetheless, I didn't see people quoting only half his statement to make it appear the opposite of what he actually said. And he himself admits it was very poorly expressed.

The half-excerpt used in this OP is a stupid lie, and you should be ashamed of yourself for defending it.

17. I didn't defend it.
I think it's hypocritical for HRC peeps to cry foul on context now when they couldn't give a damn about it when it was BO.

18. But nobody
took half a sentence of Wright's and presented it as his position.

There's no way to present this as anything other than a purposeful, blatant lie. It's not spin, it's a lie. Frankly, the ease with which Obama's supporters spread these types of lies makes me hesitant to support him, even though I like HIM. But I worry that these lies may be coming from the campaign itself, the way they burst onto the scene here.
