Aw. Lanny’s Mad
There’s great dialogue on Lanny Davis’ latest post about the four things that Obama supporters have done to aggravate Clinton supporters.
I especially liked one commenter’s list of things Hillary couldn’t resist:
1) Voting for the Iraq war resolution
2) Pretending she didn’t understand that the Kerry ‘joke’ was the same thing the RFK comment turned into. “that I know of'”
3) Voting for Kyle-Lieberman
4) Distorting the concepts of popular versus pledged votes, primary versus general election support, her change of mind on the RULES regarding Michigan and Florida,
bragging about ducking sniper fire when Chelsea was with her.
5)Letting Geraldine Ferraro claim that the only reason Obama was successful is his race. (I’ve been watching Presidential candidates since ’60.)
6)Piling on the George and Charlie mud fest.
7) Telling those of us who have state caucuses that the process is not legitimate. (You went through 2 national campaigns and did not work to change this if you thought it was wrong? You don’t live here.)
8)Blaming Obama for inflaming the RFK response in the media. (Ok it was Terry but obviously you “approved the message”) I was following the whole thing over the net. This is really a specious accusation. Be glad to fill you in on the details.
9 )Trying to show how tough you will be; at 3 am, if your foreign policy is so bad Iran attacks Israel and we have to OBLITERATE them.
and another commenter’s list of 16 things the Clintons did to piss off the Obama folks:
1. Hillary saying that Obama is not a muslim ‘as far as I know’.
2. The campaign releasing a photo of Obama in mideastern garb.
3. Hillary’s endorsement of McCain over Obama several times.
4. Bill Clinton’s statement marginalizing Obama as the ‘black’ candidate.
5. Hillary playing the sexism card over and over again. ie. The boys are ganging up on me.
6. Hillary saying that FL and MI primaries don’t count until she needs the votes.
7. Hillary making her primary wins somehow more important than the states that Obama won.
8. Hillary trying to blame the failure of revotes in FL and MI on Obama.
9. Hillary’s comment about hard working, WHITE americans.
10. Hillary blaming the media for sexist bias after months of bad press for Obama.
11. Hillary getting her digs in at the so-called Fox News debate.
12. Hillary supporters saying that Obama supporters are kool-aid drinkers.
13. Campaign saying that Obama supporters are latte drinking, pirius driving elites
14. Hillary denying there has been racism in primary.
15. Hillary bringing up assassination when some fear for Obama.
16. Hillary’s campaign calling people ‘Judas”.
Strains of “the farmer and the cowman” are rolling through my mind. (think..”Oklahoma“)
Dr. Phil, are you on standby?
