I notice this sarcasm throughout many of your threads..."Maybe, just maybe, people have different opinions for reasons other than "they must be a bigot." It's as though you think this is not a big deal.

"It's very simple," Mike Sims, director of News and Operations for CBSNews.com, told me. "We have our Rules of Engagement. They prohibit personal attacks, especially racist attacks. Stories about Obama have been problematic, and we won't tolerate it."

Hate is a big deal even though some here are making lite of just that. The hood is coming off....

It's amazing to me that you can actually turn on your computer.

lol, this rocks. Ignoring the incoherency of the post:

So - because I don't like Hillary HT essentially calls me a sexist bigot.

Because I deny being a sexual bigot and hint that maybe I dislike her for other reasons, FOTD/AOX associates me with the KKK.

Therefor, I think I am forced to admit that I hate women, minorities, homosexuals, poor people, Jews, gentiles, and Illinois Nazis (that would be inclusive of everyone for the denser among us).  

Of course I don't think this is a big deal.  Someone called me sexist because I don't like Hillary Clinton.  I don't like Kobe Bryant either, so I must be racist and not able to tolerate black men that are wealthier than I am.  makes perfect sense, it's the only logical conclusion.

[edit]I added the parenthetical about it being all inclusive for fear that some might not know what a gentile is[/edit]

I've asked this before but didn't hear back from you, so I'll ask you again directly:  do you think Hillary would be a good VP?  Since President is off the table, is VP the next best use of her talents?  

It's a bad choice, IMO. . . not because she's unqualified but because that's a step down for her. It acknowledges what she's done but doesn't help where she's going.  

You seem to really want a lot of mea culpas and special considerations, as if he's done her wrong somehow.  What's the deal?

Come on. We know what connotations deserve calling other's out on. Behave. Are you on your period today? You are not being gentile.

NO! NO! NO! The Clinton's are not going to play nice with the Obama's. Get it? It won't work.  Would you play nice if your power was cut off by unproven newcomers?

Leaving out the grammatical errors, is this even a complete sentence?  Shadows...is that you in there?

A gentile? Or just a dumb goy?

Really this has me confused. Why would Hillary want to be VP? The only thing I can comprehend is she was so impressed by how Cheney pulled the strings that she wants to outdo him. I don't see that happening judged by how he schooled her on how to win an election. It would be a cynical pr move imo. But maybe her troops will demand it.

I think she should trade her credit for something more valuable and useful. I could see her as Secretary of State? Maybe some sort of diplomatic role? Even a cabinet head. But VP is just not that great a position usually.

Wow, that remark sounds like it could have come directly from HRC.  What exactly are we risking?  What does your threat exactly entail?  

This attitude is the very reason Hillary cannot be close to the presidency.  She cannot be seen to hold a knife to Obama's throat and get what she wants.

She already holds the knife.  Masterfully!  

She must claim the nomination during this cycle or next.  As it seems she has no chance during this cycle she must make sure that Obama does not win the election.  The VP position is the only thing that will keep her operatives from organizing the disintegration of support for Obama among her supporters.

It's clear that Obama cannot win without support from previous Clinton supporters.  Bill has already said things that he cannot reverse, so he will not be on the campaign trail.

Hillary gave a crocodiles smile last night that Obama was clearly fearful of.  For good reason.

When attacked by a mob of clowns, always go for the juggler.

"Obama was clearly fearful"?

Please back that up.

The party does not need Hillary or Bill. The party will survive. Not only that, the new dmocrats will spread their net and they will be the one's convincing the Clinton faction to vote against what has transpired over the last 8 years. The technological magic that got Obama here will be stepped up to reveal an honest issue oriented campaign.

Hillary's manipulations seem to be geared to 2012. I am beggining to think Hillary is negotiating for money and not the veep position. Being the first to predict Hill as a potential Obama Supreme nominee, I now withdraw that possibility. She'll be relgated to a Senator. Nothing more.



Oh so now we can lampoon "neo-libs".  Remember where you first saw this folks.





Just because the new dems are technologically advanced, where do you get the connection to "liberals"? That's you saying that I said that.... I did not. Many of the Obama voters this time around will be fiscal conservatives.



Fiscal conservatives aren't interested in the government monopolizing the rest of healthcare.  The Feds have already managed to turn Medicare into a total cluster-**** and doctors are refusing medicare more and more.  When the government starts dictating health care coverage and prices the patient loses.

McCain has pledged to sign no bills with earmarks.  That's the kind of fiscal responsibility we need to demand of our next President.
