79. Coolest SOS ever!!!

Apr 2012

WASHINGTON -- On Thursday, Hillary Clinton took a few minutes away from her texting (and all her other duties as secretary of state) and met with the two guys who have turned her into the latest Internet meme.

In less than a week, the blog "Texts from Hillary" has become an online sensation, boosting Clinton's public image in the process. As Benjy Sarlin of TPM wrote, "When she was running for the Democratic presidential nomination, Hillary Clinton was parodied as drab and calculated, especially compared with young and vigorous Barack Obama and winking and fresh-faced Sarah Palin. Now, she’s fueling Internet jokes based on her own brand of badass cool."

Stacy Lambe and Adam Smith, the two guys behind the site, said they received an email from a member of Clinton's staff on Monday afternoon, out of the blue.

bart95, has anyone on this thread responded to the actual content of your posts? n/t antigop Apr 2012 #46

of course they haven't bart95 Apr 2012 #48

very, very odd. Why do they get so upset about links from credible sources? Why? n/t antigop Apr 2012 #56

That would be allowing your hatred to totally hijack the OP which I suppose was your intent? aquart Apr 2012 #54

So it's hatred to agree with bart95's interpretation of what HRC was texting? Hmmm... n/t antigop Apr 2012 #57

direct quotes of hillary herself, and of Obama's 2008 campaign are now 'hate speech'?!?! bart95 Apr 2012 #61

bart95, I think you have provided sufficient info as to why you posted what you did. antigop Apr 2012 #42

bart95, I think your post is a totally reasonable interpretation of the texts being sent. antigop Apr 2012 #33

Obama's response ""Punjab" Memo Was A "Dumb Mistake" Katie Apr 2012 #72

Where did I post a memo? I didn't. Nice try. How about addressing HRC'S' OWN WORDS? Post #12 antigop Apr 2012 #73

HRC'S OWN WORDS (post #12) are not a "reliable source"? LOL. n/t antigop Apr 2012 #74

You're "so sick of attacks on Democratic women" -- we're sick of Democrats who support outsourcing antigop Apr 2012 #75

Your pal has been nuked. 2ndAmForComputers Apr 2012 #78

Don't know anything about it. I just wish someone would address the content of what he posted. n/t antigop Apr 2012 #80

Trolling is to be ridiculed and scorned, not "reasoned with." 2ndAmForComputers Apr 2012 #82

Is it "trolling" to post HRC's own words? n/t antigop Apr 2012 #83

The admins thought so... ah, I better practice what I preach and end this conversation. 2ndAmForComputers Apr 2012 #84

I didn't see any posts deleted on this thread. n/t antigop Apr 2012 #85

and I don't see a problem with your answering the question I posed. n/t antigop Apr 2012 #86

And I wouldn't call bart95 my "pal" -- just another Dem who seems to be against outsourcing n/t antigop Apr 2012 #81
