Hillary Clinton to appear on "The O'Reilly Factor"
By SilentPatriot Tuesday Apr 29, 2008 9:30am
Hillary Clinton enters the "no-spin zone" tonight for her first-ever interview with Bill O'Reilly. According to HuffPo, BillO told his radio listeners that it won't be a "gotcha" game.
We'll see about that.
I really don't understand why Clinton (and Obama last Sunday) would agree to go on FOX and legitimize them as a news organization when they're clearly a GOP propaganda outlet created with the sole purpose of smearing Democrats and praising Republicans.
TPM's Greg Sargent has more, including a strong statement from MoveOn:
MoveOn, a major Obama supporter that hit the Illinois Senator over his Fox appearance and has led the charge against Fox, emails over this response, complete with hyperlink:
"With no plan to call out Fox's Republican agenda, Senator Clinton's appearance on 'The O'Reilly Factor' does nothing more than legitimize a network that will then use that credibility to smear Democrats and progressive ideas in 2008. She's pandering to a small audience that is not persuadable."

Why not? She is a Republican.
She's an pachyderm in a donkey suit, and will do anything to get elected. If that means selling out, so be it. Expect her to accept HeadRush Limpballs endorsement sometime soon.
It's odd, you know, that CLinton has garnered so many endorsements from the Right-Wing Noise Machine.
What do they know about her that they fear her less than Obama?
"Sweetsie, Look at how Mike and Kitty do it. Try to be closer in, more romantic on camera. I am practicing the loving look, and the creeping hand. Yours for better TV and more demonstrable affection. Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo."

This is a network that pulled out all the stops to destroy her and her husband. Sen. Clinton herself popularized the phrase "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy". What little respect I had for her is lost on this decision.
Iran dumps U.S. dollar for oil trades
CNN.com - Apr 30 3:19 AM
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Iran, OPEC's second-largest producer, has stopped conducting oil transactions in U.S. dollars, a top Oil Ministry official said Wednesday, in a concerted attempt to reduce reliance on Washington at a time of tension over Tehran's nuclear program and suspected involvement in Iraq.
Going on Fox News Sunday is one thing and now all the candidates have as far as I know. I know Hillary did in Sept of '07, and I guess McCain has, but to honor BillO with an appearance is a different thing entirely. BillO will probably treat her to a ice cream soda and a pony. He probably will give her all sorts of openings to piss on Obama....wait and see.
I am not wearing a tin foil hat but I gotta say, Hillary is doing some strange things. Joining up with McCain on the gas tax relief plan is just the latest. She has praised McCain. Bill has praised McCain. What is going on here?
This is the hand of the master puppeteer Rupert Murdoch at work. If he can't have John then Hill will do.
Does she have brain damage or something? Or, is there something we don't know... but should!
She's either smarter than they are or totally corrupt... hmm, interesting choices...
Yo, E Rocks! @ 3:
Remeber those CIA drug flights, during the 1980s; they were part of the Iran-Contra Scandal. All those CIA planes full of crack cocaine were flown into Hope Arkansas; which happens to be the home town of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Ever notice how during the campaign between Poppy Bush and Bill the Iran-Contra Scandal never came up. Ever notice how one of Bill's first acts was to squash the remaining criminal investigations from Iran-Contra. Ever notice that Bill pardoned some of these people.
Think about this; the right wing knows that Hillary will squash any investigations into what Baby Bush was up too.
O'Reilly will try to get Clinton to trash Obama because he know's Obama will be the GOP opponent in the general election. I don't believe her decision to appear on O'Reilly's show makes much political sense in that his audience is predominantly hardcore right-wingers. How is this going to help her with Democrats, Independents or Reagan Republicans? Does she believe that there are Democrats in NC and IN who will decide to vote for her as a result of this appearance? All she can do is provide fodder to defeat Obama in the general election and gain little or no support for herself in the remaining Democratic primaries. What is she trying to accomplish concerning her electibility for the Democratic nomination by appearing on O'Reilly's show?
why doesn't she simply OPENLY change her party affiliation to the Repigs... s
Iran, Iran, Iran, Iran.
I like Pie @ 10:
Jeez did you have to drink the whole gallon of Kool Aid this early in the morning..... pace yourself next time lol
All she has to do is
toutdefend her vote on supporting Bush's war in Iraq and she's a shoe-in for the Republicans.Obama hacks like Jack Cafferty and Keith Olberman's pathetic, obvious bias has back fired.
They treat her fairly now on Fox News and that is the story.
much as i hated that obama went on fox, i was somewhat consoled that it was chris wallace... but, o'LIElly, for chrissakes... yeeulch!
I imagine BillO will ask her if Obama is a Muslim? Why Obama doesn't wear a flag pin? Is Obama related to Saddam? What was Obama's relationship with Ayres? Does Obama love his country?
That should about take up the whole show.
I like Pie @ 10:
You know, we are very very lucky Bill Clinton got caught with Monica. It interrupted his plan to send out the Black Helicopters to round up us Americans and ship us off to detention camps to train everyone to become homosexuals.
John @ 5:
When I read posts like yours, I already know you never supported Sen. Clinton. It's a trick obamaphiles have overused, much like obama's campaign playing the race card one too many times. Here's the deal. Sen. Clinton will take on Bill O'Reilly and it will be a good thing. He needs to be taken down a notch or two. If you recall obammie was on fox news on sunday after he said he was boycotting that venue. So puhleeeeeeze spare us your faux outrage aka total b.s.
HAHAHAHAHA
I know fox is full of shit, especially with the Lincoln/Douglas thing, and I know basically it's news to keep people uninformed, but loofahboy is way below the line. Obama type of interview can't be compared to wonderingdick interview.
This is so hillbilly, I want to square dance.
Hillary will bitch-slap the putz.
This is the precise reason I hate FOX. They unabashly cater to their right wing operatives. Hillary is 08's Lieberman.
L.A. Confidential @ 6:
Now here's a story! Wonder how much coverage it won't get from MSM...
Yo, E Rocks! @ 3:
They think she carries a lot of baggage and is therefore more beatable.
Although she's to the left of Bill, there's been recent talk that Obama is even more so.
Although he keeps talking about wanting to reach across the aisle
Which sounds like two contrary thoughts.
Radian @ 2:
Why do you use the term "limpballs" when balls are limped by nature. Isn't limpdick more fitting?
hillary is really trying to get the best of the nutzoids.
she is really scraping the bottom to prove she's more white than Obama.

Gates: New US Carrier In Gulf A "Reminder" To Iran
when did obama say "he was boycotting that venue" ?

i recall the boycott as being against the "debate" on fox... that's all...
She's going on so that she can highlight the Repug smears of
OsamaObama, and deny them (or at least deny origination of them), but still bring them to the forefront of the "dialog" in her current race.She's becoming more and more evil as we speak...
It upsets me that Hillbot is getting Soooooo much Tee Vee time....when she is incapable of winning the Dem Nomination....
Yet Obama, who is clearly able to lock up the nomination, is just getting ignored other than his silly pastor who was probably put out on the Tee Vee over the weekend by Hillbot's people.
When I see Hillbot on the Tee Vee now, I get the same viceral response that I do when Dumbya or Darth appear.
Conincidence?
I think not.....
Senator Bottom feeder is so desperate for support. Hillary knows the right wing hates her ass....she also realizes that they fear the black guy even more. What a fucking loser.
Reverand Wright is gone, the media can calm down, nothing will bother the state of affairs that comforts them and their corporate masters.
After buying Stephen Colbert’s book, first in 10 years, out of sheer curiosity and to kill time, I guess it’s time to buy another one, Wright’s that is. One has to be totally closed minded if he or she didn’t like Wright’s performance and the way he described the difference between different and deficient.
Whether there was someone in the middle as he was speaking to the audience, the image of Obama that hasn’t had the fortunes in life that he in fact had and is just a regular junkie now, the image of himself, or the image of countless black boys and girls who Wright has seen throughout his life in Africa and America, those who were dying because of AIDS or expensive meds, or those who were uneducated yet yearning for education, because, despite what the MSM tells us, the world is indeed complex hence interesting.
You have to give credit to Obama. He knows that the media may be afraid. He knows that they were afraid so they let the Iraq war happen. And what could have been a better world for an average American without the trillions in debt, skyrocketing oil prices, 4 thousand dead American soldiers and tens of thousands of injured, unfunded social programs, education, infrastructure and so on, the mainstream media single-handedly ruined.
A politician who cares about the people. That’s who Obama must be, otherwise, his supporters would long be gone cheering for Clinton and McCain and would spend the money that they give away to Obama on better things than politics. Politics that help people. What a concept.
What do you do? Do you move forward with the concept or scare the f*ck out of the media – the folks who, if scared, do bad things to you and others like the whole Iraq thing.
You do the right thing. You think about the people, the future and don’t let your friend and pastor scare anyone.
If that’s what happen, there indeed may be hope. The book should be interesting. Hopefully, Wright knows what he cannot do now if he truly believes that Obama can deliver. Hannity, O’Reilly, Coulter and other cun*s (that appear on Fox News) can f**k off now because fear mongering and scare tactics in this particular case have been officially “nullified”.
robyn williams @ 14:
It's sad that 'I like Pie' nailed it, yet his comments are depressing.
Sam, you seem to be repeating yourself.
If she does not lay into O'Reilly I will have lost all respect for her. At least Wallace is somewhat balanced. This guy stinks
Remember Hillary used her visit to Mellon Scaife's paper to have a venue to express her feelings about Obama and his minister. She went to the enemy and used that time to attack Obama. Going by what might be becoming a pattern, I imagine she will follow the same plan for this interview.
Basically it's free time for her to enforce the right's feelings that Obama should frighten them.
DON'T WATCH IT ON TEEVEE. [Deleted DON'T post in ALLCAPS-Sitemonitor]
She lost the nomination already. When is she going to concede and stop attacking Obama. Just asking.

I know for a fact Bill Clinton has tried cocaine, and he did inhale. Therefore, I am sure that it is true that he smuggled truck loads of coke into Hope. The guys got a big nose and it requires a lot of toot to fill it up. Besides, his grandpappy owned a drug store where they sold cocaine legally over the counter. I don't think Bill ever got over that.

Found some links to the Iran story:
Iran dumps U.S. dollars in oil transactions

Special Report: Iran Nuclear Crisis
TEHRAN, April 30 (Xinhua) -- Iran had totally removed U.S. dollars in the country's oil transactions, an Oil Ministry official said on Wednesday.
"The dollar has completely been removed from our oil trade....Crude oil customers have agreed with us to use other currencies (in the trade)," Oil Ministry official Hojjatollah Ghanimifard was quoted as saying by the state television.
"We make our transactions with euros in Europe, but yen in Asia," he added.

So will Hillbot go on O'liely and rattle her sword at Iran some more????
I can hardly wait to see how high Oil goes after her little "interview".
I'm very disappointed that both the democratic candidates have decided to legitimize Fox News.

I really lost respect for Obama when he went on Fox as well. Prior to that, I thought there would be a united front by the Democrats against Fox News. I was let down (again) by the Democrats. As bad as it was for Obama to grant an interview with hack Chris Wallace, it think its even lower for Clinton to go on with buffoon O'Reilly.

it won't be a gotcha game, it'll be a smear obama free-for-all!

obama never said he was boycotting fox...just that he would not participate in a debate held by that channel
not that it mattered....abc did its best impression of fox
Why is the MSM and the United Enterprise of America in general concerned that a simple Reverand will "haunt" one of the candidates? Who cares? Bush was a talentless drunk who started two wars and 4 years later he was re-elected! Who's Hillary's pastor? Can we meet him? Why a former US soldier who probably helped thousands of people and didn't hurt a single person in the process is so important to the concerned MSM? Bush's war killed hundreds of thousands and the MSM lied, Wright killed noone and if he lies, so does the MSM, so whatever is the difference between the two, it's subtle or nonexistent. People, let's get the priorities right, shall we?
I'm a left-leaning independent voter who supported Hillary - that was until she started launching her attacks on Obama, and then whoring herself out to the highest bidder.
I have also noticed the fear of Obama from the MSM and the "establishment", and that fear isn't related to the color of his skin - it is related to the fact that if elected, he will cause a lot of trouble for those elites who support a "New World Order" by interfering with their plans for such. They will not allow that to happen... just ask Al Gore.
Who are all these new Haters in the Democratic Party? Are these all those "new" voters that Obama has brought to the party for "Hope and Change"? Have none of you ever heard of disagreeing with someone or a position without the need to be so damn disagreeable? This site is becoming as bad as Aravosis' Obamablog and dkos.
From what I saw (only clips because I blocked Faux news on my TV) I sure didn't see Obama reaming Chris Wallace's silly butt - but if Hillary doesn't go on and try to destroy O'Liely then she is scum. Is that about right?
It seems to be getting worse now that Obama's phony veneer is cracking and we are starting to see the phony beneath. Does anyone here really think that out there in America people believe that he sat in that hateful man's church for 20 years and didn't realize that the good Rev. was a hateful racist. Pleeez!!
Holy crap I am scared. I think I requested some time back that Canada move away from the United States based on some of the posts in these comment boards. I was being ridiculous but then there is always more posts that makes me think about moving far, far away. Whoever wrote about the "black helicopters taking people to camps where they would learn to be gay" just might be the most disconnected human being alive. Maybe I took that out of context and they were being facetious but that's a scary and unrealistic assumption.
Lastly. I don't much care for Hillary Clinton nor any old school politician these days and I am starting to question my faith in Obama to be different but I like that they acknowledge Fox news and it's audience in particular. Yes indeed they are a biased organization who are transparent with their support of right wing ideals. But they still have an audience. One that you cannot give up on no matter how wrong you think they are. They are apart of the country you live in and have a rightful place in it. Working with them through the issues that you have is the only way to achieve results. Ignoring them and hoping they go away will not work. It has not worked on people like us has it? Get over yourselves. Reach out to these folks and hope that someone will extend a hand back. It's not easy nor should it be.
In the mean time, the natural world continues its collapse with news that bat populations on the eastern US are dying from a mysterious plague known as white nose syndrome (no relation to cocaine use), similar to colony collapse syndrom in the honey bee population. I wonder if the federal government can spare a few million dollars to study it? I know it is a lot to ask with so many resources going into fighting the war in Iraq. So happy to see that we are spending our money on weapons, death and destruction. Cheney's father worked for the Department of Agriculture as an agent. I wonder if Cheney cares about bees and bats. Judging from his embracing of the fossil fuel burning, chemical dependent, wasteful military industrial complex I think it is fair to say that if he does appreciate the natural world he has a very poor understanding of it.
PssttCmere @ 20:
Yeah right, she will laugh her way thru the interview. If hard questions are asked I will be surprised.
Do the Democrats realize that it's traditional to shit on your base AFTER the primary?

hood @ 60:
There was a time back in '06 when I thought it would be wonderful if she ran for president and won. She and Bill would be back in the white house and we could all rely on them to repair so much of the damage done to our country. I wanted her to run and win so much. But as this campaign season moved along, I began to see she and Bill differently. I'm not sure exactly what made it happen or when, it just did. As of late I have some real questions about whether she wants to win and make a difference for our country or whether she just wants to win.
the fix is in. softball questions all around.
Maybe Hillary owed Ruport (Austrailien Black ops) Murdoch a favor or three in return for the financial support.
How much is your dollar worth these days?
This is America...she can go and speak with whomever she pleases.
She's not afraid of Fox or MSNBC or CNN. Nor is she afraid to debate 1 or 41 times if needed.
Two self absorbed Idiots trying to get the last word in .......who's going to watch that?
Bring your sheets and burning crosses .. this will be another velvet lynching of the "Black guy" Boogeyman. More to the point you are going to see Hitlery in her element ...... trying to destroy someone by using another pin head (O'liely) that doesn't know any better.
More usless rhetoric about Rev Wright, William Ayers and flag pins...... You know, Important sh**!!
How anybody can endorse this woman and her husband is beyond belief, not with all that we're observed her do in the past weeks.
Legitimizing Fux Noise like this tells me that something is very wrong, or she's working in collusion with this dreadful organization and/or the opposition.
Obama appeared on this network last week, but I believe it was to satisfy the stupid promise he made to Wallace two years ago, when Obama was still a bit naive about campaign tactics.
Hillary now officially scares the shit out of me.
I don't like her republic-like tactics, her profoundly puzzling backdoor endorsement of Grampa, and the seaminess of her husband's obsessiveness about getting back in the White House.
Again: Enough of the Bush/Clinton dynasties and control of the United States.

Gosh, MoveOn is trashing Clinton for something! Yeah, that's news. Blogs like MoveOn, Kos, TPM, Huffington and the MSM cable channels like CNN and MCNBC are the reason Clinton is going on FOX. These outlets sold out to Obama months ago. They have done nothing but trash Clinton. Fuck 'em. Hillary will go anywhere and face anyone. More than you can say for Obama. The guy is a lightweight. He's the MSM media darling in the Democratic Party for one reason. CNN and MSNBC know that McCain will destroy him in the GE. Rev. Wright is nothing compared to avalanche of shit they'll dump on Obama.
abama goes on fox and you people eat up his shit, clinton goes on fox and shes a turd! yeah flucking hipocrits!
Why do Democrats fear the FOX network? Could it be because they would be asked hardball questions that they might not like to address? Bill O'Relly might be rough around the adges, but to his credit he doesn't pussyfoot or pull punches- and he will call Democrats AND Republicans to task if he dtects they are full off crap...This talk of FOX being a right wing propaganda network is in itself left wing propaganda

"Fox News To Run DNC's Ad Attacking McCain
By Greg Sargent - April 30, 2008, 11:34AM
This is fun. A Democratic National Committee spokesperson confirms to me that the DNC, somewhat puckishly, asked Fox News if the network would run its ad attacking McCain over his 100-years Iraq talk -- and that Fox has agreed.
The reason this is amusing is that the Republican National Committee has been claiming that the ad is misleading and constitutes illegal coordination with the Dem campaigns, and has demanded that networks refrain from running it.
But the RNC's argument is apparently so specious that not even Fox accepted it."
Fox will change for the ratings now that CNN and MSNBC are Obama hacks.
More popcorn, please.
Neither one of them will go on Amy Goodman...eat up, this shits getting cold.

I used to be ambibalent about Hillary, kind of supported and defended her during the whole blowjob bullshit. However, I guess that mean I had some level of respect for her. I never really cared about what she was offering as a candidate, so I never supported her I guess. However, the past few months have made me fairly aware that she is not a person I would want as a Dem candidate, since I lost all sort of respect (or ambivalence whatever the case may have been) I may have had for her once.
Does that compute for you Hillary supporters?

What it is insulting, it is when idiots like you try to pass it as if they were some sort of victims of a left wing conspiracy. If you think FOX news is fair and balanced, then you a) don't know the difference between news and commentary/opinion, and b) you obviously don't know what a left wing is if it bite you in the hand.

you obama people want to change the clinton supporters minds on who to vote for have him debate her one on one! if he kicks her ass ill go with obama otherwise let him keep hideing behind 21 redicules debates that ment nothing , and let it be no moderators no holds barred, and keep it off the fox news channel !
God, all this Hope & Change & Love from the Obama supporters is very depressing. It seems to have gotten so much worse since the veneer cracked and the phony beneath appeared for all to see.

ThunderMonkey @ 108:
Uh, yeah. You know the average Republican voter absolutely hates her, right?
tyree @ 113:
LOL. Thank you, but no thanks.
Hillary Clinton realized she could no longer continue to ignore a cable TV news network that has a bigger nightly viewing audience than all of it cable competitors combined. Hillary possesses tremendous political savvy. She understands she cannot win the nomination by only agreeing to be interviewed by friendlies. She cannot be content preaching to the choir. She has to enter the lion's den and prove she has the balls to confront Bill O'Reilly in a non kiss-ass forum. Inevitably, Obama will have to stop hiding behind his wife's skirt and do the same.
After this, Fox can attack her 24/7 for not distancing herself from all the outlandish things O'Reilly's ever said.
Bluesage @ 111:
Obama's a phoney? Who's the one who granted an interview with the architect of the "vast right wing conspiracy"? Who's the one lauding McBush and bashing her fellow democrat?Gawd.

You might want to try a spell checker, it can help to mitigate the otherwise distinct impression that the writer is an idiot.

Yet a far smaller audience than any of the broadcast networks.
Just sayin.
Alice (formerly Hussein, live free of the Borg or die) @ 120:
sorry baby im not the idiot you are but keep on useing your spell checker deary!
TWO reasons not to watch the show, as if I needed another.
drago @ 116:
... and when he does, I am sure you will be first in line screaming up to the heavens on the hate he puts out.
tyree @ 122:
Your spelling is not your only problem, 'dearie'. The word is 'using', I don't need one because I am a good speller.
Blather on, English blunder head.
pissed off patricia @ 18:
OMG! That's it exactly. It's going to be an enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-ally interview. If he gets a few gotchas into Hillary, that's a bonus. He's really going after Obama. Call me paranoid but Fox sucks great big elephant cajones.
I can find a lot to hammer Hillary on. I'll pass now and wait until after the interview.
Hardly surprising that MoveOn would be much harsher on Clinton than Obama for appearing on Fox since they've been spinning that way for months. I expected better from C%L. Using the inevitable anonymous source to spin what Clinton has to say before she even says a word is less than honest especially since Obama endured no similar attacks though he did not "take on" Fox or offer any serious criticism of that network and still hasn't.
Alice (formerly Hussein, live free of the Borg or die) @ 125:
that the best you got ,who gives a shit wahat you can spell? answer the question on the debates who cares how edicated you are!
This just proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Mrs. Clinton will say anything, will do anything to get elected.
broadsword @ 130:
Ed Zachary.
And another thing; the GOP, it should be clear to anyone with a brain, has lost all credibility.
Why would Hillary lend them any?
Oh, right...say anything, do anything....right.
tyree @ 129:
My expectation is that President Obama will place a premium on public education. Remedial education will also be important because of the damage done by the Bush crime family.
laura o. @ 52:
Needs to be said again......PssttCmere @ 20:
When I read posts like yours, I already know you never supported Sen. Clinton. It’s a trick obamaphiles have overused, much like obama’s campaign playing the race card one too many times. Here’s the deal. Sen. Clinton will take on Bill O’Reilly and it will be a good thing. He needs to be taken down a notch or two. If you recall obammie was on fox news on sunday after he said he was boycotting that venue. So puhleeeeeeze spare us your faux outrage aka total b.s.
miss_kitty @ 123:
O'Reilly and Hillary in a room together conversating(lying,pandering,condescending)....a real vomit fest.
tyree @ 110:
Do my bidding young minion! Hillary for Amerika!
Wish Obama didn't tell Chris he'd go on the show like 2 years ago but he said he would so he had.
SHOWDOWN!!!! Two massive egos, more massive hypocrites, epic bullshit artists face to face. Wow, am I gonna be sorry when I miss that. But I hate the taste of vomit in my mouth and throat...
Alice (formerly Hussein, live free of the Borg or die) @ 133:
its people like you that turn others away from your hero! you know the shotheads that feel superior to others , i asked a simple question any one could answer with an hes afraid of a real debate and you have to insult someone on thier spelling , for your information i just dont give a crap anymore about trying to impress folks on my spelling !
Clinton has no shame at all. If the Republicans want to screw up the vote, she takes it as an opportunity and actually thinks it will work in her favor.
Fox News is now the most watched news channel of all the major networks. Hillary would be a gottdam fool not appear on FOX. She needs to get her message out to the massive Fox News audience in the up close & personal format of the O'Reilly show. No other candidate is as brilliant as Hillary on policy issues. She will kick verbally kick Billo's ass if he attempts to discredit her campaign platform. I predict Hillary will hit a home run and emerge triumphant from the No Spin Zone.
Alice (formerly Hussein, live free of the Borg or die) @ 125:
Good speller with nothing to say. Exactly the opposite of tyree.
And you might want to find a copy of Elements of Style and look up the proper use of commas, semicolons and periods before you chiming in about others.
Why do Obama and Clinton go on FAUX NOISE?
Because they are Democrats, and Dems ALWAYS roll over for the right wing screamers.
And then lose.
Hillary Clinton is the sausage made from running all our hopes and aspirations through a grinder.
After the lose from Gore, Kerry, what does it take for so-called "progressives" to realize we need middle America to win an election?
Hillary gets it. So does Obama (who if you care to look at his record is to the RIGHT of Hillary). He just can't let you know that until he wins the nomination.
She's run a general campaign from the beginning. She's set to go toe to toe with McCain, unless we fail again and nominate another Kerry.
afternoon dennis ! still playing with the food i see! ; ]
tyree @ 139:
21 debates is plenty, if you do not know the difference by now, another 'debate' will not ad significantly to the understanding.
Clinton is behind, in delegates and in votes. She will not catch up. She continues only as a matter of hubris.
As for spelling, you are at a computer, a spell checker is available even as you type, free of charge, it is part of the operating system, whichever OS you use. It tends to remove one unnecessary impediment to understanding what you are saying.
You do not impress people with correct spelling, but without it you do let them think that you care not about the clarity of what you are writing.
It is a matter of clarity, it is only one element. If you don't care, then fine.
Alice (formerly Hussein, live free of the Borg or die) @ 147:
we agree then ! obamas to chicken to show hes got the right stuff , thoes 21 debates were a joke!!!!!!!! a farce!!!!!!!!! they showed nothing ! danm i forgot to use capatols!
broadsword @ 130:
Of course she hasn't said anything yet but don't let that stop you for condemning her in advance. Personally I like to hear what someone has to say before I disagree with them.
This is no surprise, IMO Hillary sold her soul to the devil, the right wing media. When the Clinton's saw the delegate count on the wall, so to speak, they made a deal, to agree for Hillary and McCain to not go after each other until the General Election. Corporations who own the media and advertise on pundit programing are themselves threatened by an Obama presidency. (An interesting study might be to see how many corporations who support Clinton and McCain also advertise on CNN, FOX, and MSNBC and so on.) In the mean time the two camps will go after their biggest threat, Obama, to take him down. The Clinton's desire for power has no bounds, there is nothing they won't do to get the first or another co-presidency in the White House.
Unless somehow, Obama superdelegates come out in broad daylight, in mass, to loudly and proudly support Obama, day after day, until the end of the primaries, this unholy alliance between the Clinton's and McSame's camps will have a devistating effect on his campaign. Obama's pledged Superdelgates need to start calling the media out to their face for overblowing the story and state it is time to stop affiliating Obama to Wright, remind them again and again Obama is not Wright, they are not one and the same which is the idea being pushed.
Obama needs to smile, relax, take a deep breath, and start talking to the people again, giving the media his message of hope and inspiration for a brighter tomorrow. YES WE CAN, is the greatest weapon against the MSM attack machine. This Wright story was deliberately blown so way out of proportion, with an almost cartoonish fetish for the story which shows how it was obviously coordinated. Early on in the story, some voices tried to say it was really a non-story because this was not Obama speaking. They disappeared or changed their tune rather quickly.
I can't figure out why people do not understand how racist it is to even poll along race lines and report them in the media. Obama has it right, people are people, with everyday concerns, effecting their lives regardless of skin color. For the media to trot out black commentators and pundits who are critical of Obama while the host reminds the audience, verbally, "now, you are black", or "you're an African-American". Do they make note to an audience the ancestry of Asians or the color of their skins? How insulted do you think Latinos or Latinas would be if they were asked, "Now, you are brown...? IMO a non-racist media would never mention skin color because it is irrelevant. How often have you heard a host ask a white pundit a question prefacing it with: "Now you are white..." stating the obvious to the audience?
Remember the philosophy of the right, divide and conquer, to me, it is obvious the media themselves are "playing the race card" to divide and conquer over Obama. The Clinton camp has just joined them for the time being, as it is expedient to reach their goal. A real Democrat would have trounced on the media for this uncivil racially charged reporting. A real Democrat would come out and say this is not about the first woman or the first black candidate, it is about the best person to work to solve the challanges of our times. Who is the best person to lead America's future? Yes it is about character, do you think the media honestly portrays the character of the candidates to inform the electorate? Are perceived flaws a barrier to effective governance?
Think about it, do you see the media treating Obama the way they have traditionally treated a frontrunner? Are they treating him like they treated McCain when he became the frontrunner for the Republicans? Do you see them giving Obama a platform for his message? After he won super Tuesday, after Chris Matthews got a chill up his leg from Obama's victory speech, the Clinton's were shocked to realize they were going to lose the race, they had to do something... (the enemy of my enemy is my friend). Obama is now being continually marginalized and demonized.
If the right wing media were going to go after Hillary Clinton, they would start asking male commentators, "Do you think the military is ready for a woman "Commander-In-Chief"? Then they would trot out surveys of members of the military, saying that this is a legitimate question. I have no doubt the Rove tactics in the fall, if Hillary wins the nomination, will include this line of attack in some form. They will let it snowball into an avalanch along with all the other baggage she admittedly caries from the 90's, her Bosnia heroics, and remind people how untrustworthy, cold, and calculating, and oh yeah, elitest she is to defeat her in November.
Oh, and one more thing, thanks for enduring my rant for today. BTW I am a bitter middle aged woman, lower middle class, Northern European ancestry, with loving family whose ancestry comes from across the globe, just like Barack Obama. Obama is the hope that one day maybe one of my nieces and nephews could be President of the United States regardless of their ancestry.
Oh yeah, and I cling to my gun, which fires words hoping to hit a target.
Obama, all the way to the White House!
