2. She is irrelevant. I expect she'll turn up the crazy to 11 to recapture the attention of...
...the press. It's been what she's doing since she lost, anyway.

27. and you and your cohorts act like thugs swarming in and attacking
without thought or a point.

Here this op actually started a thread so happy that the female was being completely ignored and is irrelevant.

This woman, who would have likely bound her own feet and the feet of her daughter's in China is rejoicing that a news outlet is BIASED and spewing propaganda against a progressive democrat.

But, whatever, go back to baseless attacks on the poster. Ignore the point.

30. What an utterly silly post - now because HRC is losing it's like having her feet bound in China?
Good Lord, but your HRC boosters are offensive human beings. Comparing an atrocity against women in China to a loser candidate in a political process. Dis-fucking-gusting.

have and continue to suffer through genuine atrocities committed upon their persons and their dignity. You just demean yourself further. Truly disgusting.

43. Amazing.
You have so dehumanized Clinton that you are cheering Propaganda. You are CHEERING that a progressive female democrat is being ignored in our "free press."

DU, who years ago abhorred the fake media, now cheers it when it purposefully attempts to sway the voters and choose our candidate for us.

Playing the victim? That IS what lots of people say to women when they want to ignore the point and minimize the messenger. Way to go Sofla...you are well on your way to becoming a neo-con.

45. you have no idea who I am so STFU
and go and vote for McCain which is what you're looking to do anyway-and we ALL know who will be blamed for your insurrection-US. You see we've learned a thing or two about your type over the past 6 months Evergreen Emerald and you know what? we don't NEED your type in the party anymore-you are obsolete and fast on your way to becoming irrelevant. So continue with your little game of being the victim who can see boogie men behind every tree and in every closet...I'd hate for the women in MY family to be like you...they're much stronger than that....much stronger than you

57. strength versus weakness.
you crack me up. Clinton is the strongest female I have ever seen. She is still standing in the face of such constant attacks it is amazing. She does not quit. And women are not given things, we have to take them.

So, for you to select the language of the "blame the victim" crowd, shows a lack of knowledge of the definition of feminism.

Pointing out sexism is not a weakness. Acknowledging the elephant in the living room is not a weakness. Denying it, justifying it, victimizing those who flash the light on it--THAT is NOT feminism. THAT is weakness.

14. With only a small fraction of ass hats, like riverdaughter, who will not support him when he .......
officially wins the nomination.

Remember, the knife cuts both ways. Several Hill supporters will vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee, but I'd be willing to bet that even more Obama supporters wouldn't vote at all if Hillary stole the nomination and overturned the pledged delegates.

And spare the popular vote argument. There is no such thing as the popular vote, and the true numbers will never be known since several caucus states have no official popular count.

32. Ignoring a candidate who should have shown the good grace to leave
when it was obvious she would no longer Win is not Propaganda..

Most intelligent candidates see the writing on the wall, don't waste more people's money and instead salvage their career..

9. I was getting ready to post that.. KO IGNORES HILLARY - And So Should We ! I think
the media, and probably KO in particular, are simply sick of being used to parrot their talking point lies, then being accused by Bill of being part of some VAST LW CONSPIRACY to disrespect her. He's put her on ignore.. and we should too.

The RW Troll posts here today.. in particular the nasty posts re: the holocause, have been left here by the mods and admin. It is a disgrace and even moreso that people are responding to them and keeping them kicked. I think its time to either ignore Hillary, or ignore DU until the garbage is removed in about a week or two.

15. What I Thought Was Really Funny - Near The End Of His Show He Said He Had To Apologize.......
and I thought it was going to be to Hilliary or her campaign - but instead he apologized to the McCain campaign and a McCain operative.

This cracked me up - and I bet it was intentional - because I could just see Terry McCauliff sitting and watching saying - here it comes - and it didn't come. LOL

28. LOL!! i recomend the same for her followers that are trying to disrupt DU....


I started reading before I logged in and the forum is full of Hillbots spewing the campaign talking points.

When ignore kicks in after login, DU becomes a much nicer forum.


Apparently the only votes that the hillary folks think should count are those of Appalachian racists who believe Obama is related to Saddam Husain or is a secret muslim.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNbLQ6DC8mw

Oh and lets not forget the sexists who vote for hillary only because of her gender.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbkyJLiax8E&feature=related

These are the "real americans" according to the hillary followers.

36. Maybe Obama asked him to shut up because Obama needs Clinton's supporters
and Olbermann was not helping in that respect.

Keith "Take her into a room" Olbermann has shown himself incapable of even mentioning the Clintons recently without sounding like a maniac. He's the MSM equivalent of the DUers trying to drive Clinton's supporters away and alienate them completely. I would imagine Obama is smart enough to realize that, and that either he or someone in his campaign asked Olbermann to stop making things worse.

If you really think Hillary's supporters mind Olbermann not mentioning her, you haven't been paying attention.

55. There is support for Clinton in WV
Which will mean zero in November.

2004 West Virginia results:

Bush: 423,778 - 56%
Kerry: 326,541 - 43%

Bush walloped Kerry in WV by 13 points.
Can anyone seriously believe that either Clinton or Obama will get these 5 electoral votes?

59. Thank you SOS. When Obama wins a "red state" primary, the
Hillarites can't wait to tell us that he won't win it in November. But, Hillary has some magical aura where only her "red state" victories have meaning.

On a side note, I noticed that Randi didn't want to talk about Hillary today either. But she allowed one caller to speak about how angry she was that Clinton brought up the whole RFK thing, because she had worked very hard on RFK's campaign in '68, and with the 40th anniversary looming, she felt betrayed that Clinton would even make the analogy.

Perhaps the prescription is for progressive media just not to talk about her at all. Let the right wing do the dirty work for her.
