I Like Chelsea Clinton And I Take Umbrage At Her Being Bashed Here
Always liked her even when Rush Limbaugh said she looked like a dog and McSame said she was Janet Reno's love child... So if you have anything bad to say about Chelsea Clinton you can say it to me...
I'm up for a game of snaps or the dozens...

I have my asbestos underwear on...You should have it on too...

Game

Set

Match

73. Were you involved in the "stay away from Michelle" thread?
And are now here sanctioning attacking Chelsea?

Curious double standard. Both are family. Both are involved in the campaign.

Why is it ok to attack Chelsea but Michelle is "off limits?"



BTW: I think neither should be attacked.

7. Exactly what's so wonderful about her? I never quite got that part.
There's nothing wrong either. She's a young woman who works for a hedge fund, so I'm not sure what the big deal is either way.

9. i don't think she should be bashed for stupid things
like that recent thread about asking to be let off the job so she could campaign. and how she cried after her mother lost Iowa.

but she can be criticized on the answers she gives to questions when campaigning and other things like that.

37. Games where you insult each other
I think the first one is a gay thing and the second a black thing. I know more about the dozens. "Yo Momma" jokes are the typical example. It is a very old tradition and considered to be one of the major roots of hip hop.

"Eat shit."

"Jump on my spoon!"

You lose by taking one of the insults too seriously.

29. She was right to not answer the question about Monica.
Monica has no relevance to her life, and if the blow job did have any relevance to her life, then it was none of the public's fucking business.
Her parents' marriage is none of the public's fucking business.

See?

(I agree about Monica...how could a child ever address this mess properly?). But Scholastic Magazine young reporters tried to ask her questions and she begged off, telling the kids that she didn't grant interviews.

Okay....for then. But, now it's NOT! You've got to talk to reporters, Chelsea, if you want to stay in the big leagues!

43. WRONG. Bill's putting the best interests of his dick ahead of the best interests of our country...
IS our business. He started his affair with Monica while he was still being investigated for sexual harassment of Paula Jones.

Our country was torn apart by his dick, and the national agenda was sidetracked for years.

Maybe Hillary's supporters consider Clinton's dick Holy, but I don't. Hillary wants to be in the Oval Office. We have the right to know if we are being set up for another four years of the "Here's Bill's DICK!" show.

And, YES, Chelsea should answer the question. She's on the campaign trail, as an adult. If she can't handle important questions, they should hire a babysitter and keep her at home.

I, for one, would like to know about the Canadian blond Bill has been seeing for over 2 years now. Perhaps Chelsea can shed some light on that, too.

66. It's all the CLENIS' fault, I see.
Lots of presidents have had girlfriends. Some had many girlfriends. The last faithful one I can think of is Harry Truman.

The only reason the blow job came out is because Kenneth Starr was on a witchhunt looking for ANYTHING to use against Bill and Hillary.

He spent $80 million of taxpayers' money looking for a scandal.

I still think Bill should have refused to answer. Personal sexual behavior that is not affecting his performance is irrelevant.

The only person who needs to deal with it is Hillary.

Chelsea is extremely bright. She went to Stanford and Oxford University and did well. The Clintons have already been through more hell than any family should have to go through. That doesn't mean that Hillary should be president. It just means that the meanness, vitriol and viciousness of the Repukes has spilled over to the Democrats, unfortunately.

90. I agree that there was unprecedented GOP focus on the Escapades of Bill and his Dick...
BUT he continued to let his dick rule his presidency even while he was being investigated for Paula Jones and sexual harassment.

That was the kicker for me. Our country had already been sidetracked for months and months with the Paula Jones sexual harassment investigation and he throws away our chances for crawling out of the morass at the flash of an intern's thong underdrawers.

He clearly put the best interests of his dick ahead of the best interests of his country. We all suffered through that, and needlessly.

He was STUPID as governor to solicit a blow-job from a state employee, Paula Jones. That is just STUPID, as it has been repeatedly ruled that it is an abuse of power and can be seen as sexual harassment.

But he topped it all when he started up even more affairs while being investigated for Paula Jones.

Finally, here's food for thought: Google "Belinda Stronach"

Here's a headstart:

It's a cycle of viciousness. The republicans start the ball rolling and apparently there are at least some democrats who think they should keep rolling it.

They did it to Amy. They did even more of it to Chelsea. You can bet money that if Obama wins, they'll do it to his little girls as well complete with increase in viciousness.

Anyone participating in it sickens me.

34. I've gone back & forth on this and I guess I've decided that Chelsea is fair game since she is an
adult who chose to work on her mother's campaign. I feel very differently about the kids if they're under 18. I don't much care for the Clintons (especially during this primary), but I always thought they had every right to demand privacy for Chelsea when she was under 18 and I respected that they played hardball on that.

If we're going to look at young elitists to poke fun at or be disgusted with we'll probably find many more on the other side of the aisle anyway.

17. Chelsea is one of the nicest
members of the elite class that I know.

I just wish common people could take months off from their job without penalty to work on a political campaign. Actually, I don't. I just wish they could have time off when needed for their families. One woman I know needed to take her kid to the doctor. Her boss told her that if she didn't come in that day, not to come back to work.

to "defend" her parents, it is a reflection of her lack of character. In other words, she's a Clinton. Snap out of it.

42. It depends how she is being "bashed"
and I don't think criticizing her is bashing her. But Chelsea is an adult who has opted to take a leave from her job to campaign from her mother. I think it's galling that she refuses to grant interviews while she is on the trail; it seems duplicitous to me.

I don't think she should be asked about Monica Lewinsky and its effect on her family, but I don't think asking her tough questions is off-limits as long as they don't become personal attacks. I think the same thing is true of Michelle Obama, Cindy McCain, etc.

44. You're right
and I for one have nothing bad to say about her. As to her parents, well, I'll just say they're not my favorite Democrats at the moment, and leave it at that.

57. Hey, if you wish to launch personal attacks on Michelle Obama as "fair game"
don't be surprised if Princess Chelsea gets some negative press despite of the fact that she's SHELTERED from giving interviews. :shrug:

60. In All Fairness
Chelsea's not the potential First Lady (or Gentleman), so we're talking about a different degree of investment altogether.

71. Doesn't matter - HRC surrogates are attacking Michelle's patriotism.
Therefore, Princess Chelsea is also "fair game." Deal with the fact that she's 29 NOT 12 years old. :shrug:

62. unfortunately, wait until the GOP and Clintonistas use their last resort
and start attacking Obama's two girls. You know it is coming....Rush didn't wait when Chelsea was only 12.....

82. Do you really think Hillary will attack Obama's girls?
After all the attacks that Bill and Hillary had to protect Chelsea from and try to explain to her when she was a child, do you really think they'd turn around and inflict the same damage on someone else's child? If the Obama supporters really believe that, there's truly nothing left to say to you.

65. I'm neutral about Chelsea Clinton, but I'll go with the OP just in
light of the fact that he/she 'takes umbrage' rather than 'gets pissed' or 'is outraged'.


umbrage

–noun

1. offense; annoyance; displeasure: to feel umbrage at a social snub; to give umbrage to someone; to take umbrage at someone's rudeness.

2. the slightest indication or vaguest feeling of suspicion, doubt, hostility, or the like.


umbrage. Dictionary.com. Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1). Random House, Inc. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/umbrage (accessed: May 22, 2008).

69. I'm sick and tired of Clintons being obsessed with controlling this country.
They have a pathological need to be in power and I don't want my life being subject to their craziness any longer.

I hate the way they do politics period and I don't want to have to worry about any more awfulness from these people.

78. I consider it a waste...
We could have accomplished so much more. But any gains made got reversed quite easily by George W. Bush because they were mostly short term.

92. I like Chelsea too-did she do something today?
I really got mad when she was made fun in the 90's. I can't see where she has done anything wrong. I sure don't blame her because she supports her mother. I don't support Hillary, but I would be shocked if Chelsea didn't. This primary has gone on too dang long.

96. I still don't get it
Who cares? If it was my mom, I would want time off too. If one of Barack's daughters was old enough, I would think they would want time off to campaign too. I do think she should answer questions when she campaigns, but not anything about Monica. That should have always been private as far as I'm concerned. I'm a big Obama supporter, but this controversy is a little bit silly, IMO. :silly:

97. It's sad isn't it?
When fellow Democrats see the need to trash Chelsea, the little girl who we saw grow up in the WH and who has turned into a lovely young woman.

This board becomes more hateful and disappointing by the day.......

100. How can you "like" her?
When all we know of her is the political confection.

I'll hold out judgment on whether I "like" her until after she gives a candid interview or two.

As for her parents, I'm sure they're very proud of her and couldn't care less what we think of her.

101. Well, Now We See What Democrats Have Become
Why in the world would anyone want to vote in this election? We have McCain who is not of this world most of the time
And we have Obama who appears to attract to forums the most vile scum on earth. What if the old adage BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER is true?

These people who are so very willing to wallow in the barnyard and spew manure against innocent campaigners are the very types of people who we will soon see running at the mouth with their vile comments about Obama's girls. Exact same type. They are at opposite ends of the circle, so opposite that they are closer than they are apart.
They categorize their vile characterizations as 'freedom of speech', when it is slander. And we hear the immature excuse, "He/She did it first".

I don't like our country much anymore. We are lost.

102. Try reading my post. My point is that none of us "know" Chelsea...
...Because of her decision not to grant interviews to the press. That is her right, of course.

I said nothing about her character, which I can't, because I don't know what it is.

Please provide me with a quote where I "spewed manure" at her.
