1. That headline was total BS and a transparent smear.

I thought it was pretty cool the way she treated the
kid just like any other reporter, actually.

3. And that's exactly what the child said when she was interviewed

I was watching a clip of her being interviewed on MSNBC, and she did say that it was cool to be treated like any other reporter.

4. She's Too Busy Siccing Daddy's Lawyers On Nice Restaurants

Between that and her hedge fund, her time is all spoken for.

11. "Clinton is my favorite president. This isn�t going to change anything"

Apparently, he can get over it. Why can't you?

5. That "event" got a lot of press on DU.

Some of it was no less disgusting than the headline.

6. I saw one of these child reporters on CNN, live.........

....the child reporter couldn't remember the question or answer she had asked one of the candidates.

Chelsea handled it just right. No matter what she did it would be criticized.

7. "an Campaign event"?

How seriously are we supposed to take a reporter who doesn't know the proper use of a/an?

8. Chelsea's reply was posted and repeated all over the news

she said nothing offensive. She just said she didn't want to, that the kid was cute. What's wrong with that. But then of course it was a Clinton, so they have to smear, flame, hate and vile or it wouldn't be the press.

9. Have we not already done this like once before?

Like last week? And was it not more or less established Chelsea was actually trying to be nice?

God i don't like Hillary much, but this is desperation, and kinda slanderous, not too mention dishonest.

13. They interviewed the girl who asked the question on MSNBC

She said that she felt like an adult because Chelsea was treating her like all the other reporters. (paraphrasing) It sounded like she was kind of honored. She also had her picture taken with Chelsea, with Hillary, and with Bill.
