The****OFFICIAL*****Meet The Press Thread (for the 9:00AM crowd)

[SoFlaJet]

This one should be filled with some real doozies as Hillary's own personal Baghdad Bob (Terry McCauliffe) will be opposite Chris Dodd. Can somebody please post a Baghdad Bob picture in this thread just for effect?

[Bensthename]

1. Also Fox - Chris Wallace has David Axelrod and Howard Wolfson

[SoFlaJet]

2. I never click on Fox

I'm afraid they'll somehow monitor me and figure I'm a RWer-also I don't want to increase their viewership-if there's anything good I'll catch the clips either on Crooks and Liars or here in the video forum

[Bensthename]

4. Haha

yah, I hear that. It has to be really good show for me to watch it on Fox, like today, campaign strategists from both camps. I am working today, it is very slow here, so I should get to watch both hopefully..

[my3boyz]

3. I would love to see David smack Wolfson down but I don't think even I could watch Fox news! nt

[jefferson_dem]

7. Looks like fuckface FauxNews flunkie Wallace is interviewing them separately.

Axelrod up now. Wolfson next.

[my3boyz]

34. Hmmm..same thing with Dodd and McAwful!

[wundermaus]

5. "everything is just fine."

[Hutzpa]

69. I think McAuliffe's new name

should be Terry (Baghdad Bob) McAuliffe..

:evilgrin:

[Stardust]

6. Here ya go...

plus a great thread with some hilarious quotes from this nutjob:

8. I find your comparison of Clinton and her surrogates to Baghdad Bob

so offensive. When the election first started and someone (you know who you are) posted a picture of Clinton as Hitler, I remember thinking about how ignorant and disgusting that person was (is), and now daily you all continue the over-the-top offensive, intellectually lazy, bizarre behavior that is akin to the worst sort of propaganda and hate-filled speech.

Disgusting. I wonder what causes you to frequent a "progressive" board. Somewhere along the way, you took a wrong turn at the internts and highjacked this board that used to be filled with open minds and ideas. Now it is a shell of what it used to be, with thugs and ugly ugly suggestions like the one here.

[virtualobserver]

11. nothing progressive about Hillary's divisive politics.........

she took the wrong turn

[SoFlaJet]

13. hey vo

have you noticed how many references to Hitler the Clinton folk have been throwing out there about Obama's faithful lately? Those are all OK with them but make a joke about Baghdad Bob....

[virtualobserver]

23. there would be fewer comparisons if McAuliffe didn't insist on wearing the beret....

and Iraqi Uniform.

[Evergreen Emerald]

15. BS. She is doing nothing different than Obama is doing

the difference is that you ignore, minimize, justify and when all else fails: blame Clinton for HIS behavior.

Amazing.

[SoFlaJet]

18. good job of projection there

+1 for EE

[Evergreen Emerald]

21. amazing.

Cover your ears, close your eyes and shout LALALABAGHDADBOBLALALABITCHLALALAHITLERLALALA.

Amazing.

29. my point is that this criticism is deserved, attacks upon her propaganda machine....

do not mean that this site is no longer Progressive.

[Evergreen Emerald]

32. Well, you are wrong. But, lets for the sake of argument agree

that you believe her tactics are different than Obama's. That does not make her evil, or the devil, or Hitler, or Baghdad Bob. That means that we discuss the issues without demeaning the candidate and in doing so--her supporters.

I have been here for years, and thought that this was a progressive board. I am betrayed by the people on here, or, perhaps my eyes have been opened to the reality: it is not a progressive board. Anyone that uses those ugly divisive, over-the-top comparisons is NOT progressive.

[virtualobserver]

38. she is neither the Devil nor Hitler........but Baghdad Bob was a loyal spinmeister...

...not Evil. I have seen many highly offensive posts from people claiming to be Hillary supporters as well.
Who knows if they really do support her. Perhaps it is part of Limbaugh's operation chaos.

[rodeodance]

50. posters putting up Baghdad Bob and equating him with HRC is RW smearing.

[Evergreen Emerald]

51. I can't believe people think that is ok.

But, I have been continually disappointed by the "progressives" on DU.

[scarletwoman]

53. They are equating Baghdad Bob with TERRY MCAULIFFE, for gawdssakes!

Do you even read a whole post before your knee jerks?

[rodeodance]

55. Inferences went right over your head I see.

[Forkboy]

54. Well, we hope you wont hold a Drudge...er, grudge.

[virtualobserver]

57. it is just comparing two spinmeisters......attacking spin is neither RW or smearing

[WeDidIt]

66. Baghdad Bob was never put on trial and never arrested

He's still alive and living in Baghdad.

HE was a loyal spinmeister, just like McAwful

[hokies4ever]

60. Again with this same shit?

Please turn off the broken record already. :rofl:

[rodeodance]

17. poster was talking about the behavior of Obama fan. I agree. Changing the subject

is a Rovian tactic.

[SoFlaJet]

19. thanks for explaining that for me

Taylor

[hokies4ever]

26. Quit crying and stick a pacifier in it

You've been crying 'foul' nonstop on these threads over EVERYTHING and it's really annoying. Tell Hillary to get her campaign out of the gutter and stop wishing for the days when the three-fifths compromise reigned supreme. :rofl:

[Evergreen Emerald]

28. There you go. Nice. Instead of responding to the ideas

you attack. As I stated: intellectually lazy. Or maybe you are trying your best.

[hokies4ever]

33. How much money did you flush down the drain donating to Hillary?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Evergreen Emerald]

61. I did not waste any.

it was for a very good cause.

[hokies4ever]

71. Sucks to know your donations to Hillary

are for paying the interest she's collecting on the money she loaned to her campaign. Yeah, that's right, she's collecting interest on that loan. Also known as a reverse Robin Hood, stealing from the poor to give to the rich, herself. :rofl:

[rodeodance]

30. "intellectually lazy" fits your posts as you have SPAMED most threads

day after day with the same words.

[cliffordu]

65. Uh, that would be spammed.....not spamed

[SoxFan]

31. High Dudgeon Time!

Obama sells drugs? Yawn.
Obama is a Muslim? Yawn.
Obama attended a madrassa? Yawn.
A picture of Baghdad Bob? THE HORROR, THE HORROR!

[TahitiNut]

35. Exactly. Schizophrenic Miss Manners on 'roids.

There must be a sale on high horses somewhere.

[Evergreen Emerald]

37. Lets look at this:

Drugs: Clinton never said he sold drugs. That never occured out of her mouth or a surrogate of hers. Indeed, he talked about his drug use (which is a legitmate issue) himself.

Muslim: Clinton never said he was a muslim. And indeed, it was distributed all over the media and has been since before he started campaigning. And when asked, she said he was not.
Madrassa: again, Clinton did not do those things...


So, you attribute things to Clinton that she did NOT do. And then you hate her so much for it that you can resort to the most vile comparisons (Hitler, BB, etc).

And yet, you post thread after thread of distortions about Clinton's religion, college years (goldwaater girl) personal life (why she stayed with hubby)...doing the very same things that you accuse Clinton and her supporters of doing...and that is, ok? NOt worthy of hatred? Justified?

What the hell?

[SoxFan]

41. Fact Check

Drugs: Clinton never said he sold drugs. That never occured out of her mouth or a surrogate of hers.

False. The statement was made by Billy Shaheen, a national co-chair of the Clinton campaign and a top surrogate both in New Hampshire and among Arab-Americans nationwide.

Muslim: Clinton never said he was a muslim. And indeed, it was distributed all over the media and has been since before he started campaigning. And when asked, she said he was not.

Clinton campaign staffers were caught forwarding the muslim/madrassa email to activists in Iowa. When asked whether she believed Obama was a Muslim, Hillary gave the too-cute-by-half "not as far as I know" answer.


And for the record, I never posted anything about Hillary's relationship with Bill, or her documented support of Barry Goldwater.

[Evergreen Emerald]

48. So much for "facts"

Obama used his drug use on the campaign trial. When Shaheen said what he did (which was twisted and distorted) he was fired from her campaign and denounced. I don't see you using the same standard with Obama's mistakes and outspoken surrogates that you do with Clinton, why the difference?

Muslim: You are only quoting part of her statement. She said no at least twice before the statement you suggest. And of course you twist its meaning and give all sorts of negative connotations to it--becasue that is what guys do best. Lie and distort.
When Clinton was asked that question (and said NO twice) she was put in an akward position. Should she be jumping up and down adamant that Obama is not the evil, icky muslim? Or should she be reserved and respectful to a legitmate religion that includes many Americans? You guys are so quick to misjduge and hate her that you fail to see reality.

Obama staffers were caught sending e-mails to the media encouraging stories about Clinton's racism and B. Clinton's affairs. Why are they ok with you?

Both candidates have had campaigns that used political tactics. When someone on staff crossed the line, they were dealt with. You all refuse to acknowlede that when it comes to Clinton and bend over backwards giving Obama the benefit of the doubt. She has never had a level playing field.

Backwards and in high heels.

[SaveAmerica]

68. Heck yes she should have jumped up and down adamant about him not being Muslim

She herself could have stopped the single most horrible thing that could hurt him physically some time down the road; the wildfire spread of lies about him being Muslim. You know those e-mails spread across this country and many people believed them. Many people still believe it, many people who are loyal to Hillary Clinton and are the sort who believe e-mails that are sent them without researching it before condemning Obama. One Democrat I know of locally is so filled with fear of what she suspects Obama's evil plan is for America that I am concerned for her psychologically when he becomes president. The reason this should have been denounced loud and clear (jumping up and down if you will) is because of the past 8 years of Bush and his friends equating being Muslim with having evil plans against America. This Democrat that I just mentioned feels exactly that; Obama is a Muslim and he has evil plans to harm America. She believes so much in Hillary Clinton, don't you think that if Hillary had made a stronger and more direct denouncement of this issue that people like this woman would not live in total fear of an Obama presidency?

[cornermouse]

40. I have never thought he sold drugs, was a muslim, or attended

a madrassa. I do, however, think he has shown a certain lack of respect for his mother and his grandmother and I think his attempts to hide the truth of his past and enhance a false legend of childhood poverty is both bad and unnecessary. It calls his judgment and decision making ability into question.

[scarletwoman]

52. You know what I find excruciatingly ironic? You refer to DU a "progressive" board, and in a certain

very loose sense of the word it is -- but really, DU is much more yuppie socially liberal and economically centrist than "progressive".

I also don't consider the word "progressive" to be a synonym for "liberal", and I find it irritating and "intellectually lazy" to see it constantly used as such.

Way back even before the official start of the Dem nomination race, I literally BEGGED people to not support a Hillary Clinton candidacy. I said you can NOT call yourself a "progressive" and then turn around and support a DLCer and someone so entrenched in the Owner Class power structure. You'll just reinforce the entire Establishment/globalist/imperialist status quo.

So, as far as I'm concerned, supporters of Hillary Clinton are not "progressives", they are "liberals" -- NOT the same thing. That's why I will always find it ironic when Clinton supporters invoke the word "progressive" when scolding non-Clinton supporters.

Sorry, by virtue of being a Clinton supporter, you have no claim on that word.

And let me hasten to add that I was also dead set against Obama at the start, whom I would never mistake for a "progressive", nor mistake all his supporters as "progressives".

Do not mistake me for a partisan, I am a progressive.

sw

[RC]

67. This must be why those of us on the Left are like a herd of cats...

I am a liberal. I sure don't claim Hillary as one of ours. Hillary is a DINO. She is farther to the right than Bill is. Look at who she hob-nobs with. Right-wing money people. Look at where her campaign money came from, then look at her so called health care plan. It wasn't the average American she was thinking of.
bu$h's Iraqi war - She still has not really backed off from that. Hillary is a DLC member in good standing. That alone should make her suspect as to what kind of president she would be. And then, the way she ran her campaign is straight from the neocon's darling, lovable ol' Karl Rove. Hillary is neither a Liberal nor a progressive.
Please save us from her followers. They are of the same reality deficient mentality as the bu$h supporters. Neither Liberals nor Progressives act like that.

[Evergreen Emerald]

70. I guess your definition of progressive and mine are two different things

Progressive to me IS liberal. Because, the right-wing highjacked the word, redefined it (just like they did Clinton) and made it a negative.

Progressive is our answer to that: an open minded person willing to see all sides of an issue, to fight for civil rights and worker's rights, and to focus on the issues global warming as well as other liberal issues.

To suggest that Clinton is not a progressive IS partisan. Indeed the irony of your post to suggest that you are not partisan while the foundation of it is nothing more than partisan. You ignore Clinton's progressive work on issues through out her life.

You ignore the supporters fights in their home towns for progressive issues. And you stand on your soap box and attempt to highjack the word, re-define it, and claim it as your own, as you close your mind, and exclude.

Whatever.

[FARAFIELD]

58. I THINK ITS FUNNY AS SHIT

As well as appropos', keep it up. That's what she gets for starting it, if she cant stand the heat get out of the kitchen. SCORCH POW@!

[cliffordu]

64. Well, garsh....

:nopity:

[Bensthename]

9. Terry McCauliffe says Hillary is winning the popular vote

They need to give that a rest.. It is not true..

[rodeodance]

22. RussTurd wants to talk of all things except the important issure. Good on McCauliffe for

bring issues such as health care into the conversation.

[SoFlaJet]

27. strangely though

one "issue" we haven't even heard a peep about since the blowout in NC is....wait for...it....THE GAS TAX HOLIDAY!!!!!

[Doityourself]

43. Terry is a spinner..lol..he says race nor gender should be in the race..why don't he tell Hillary

[my3boyz]

36. It doesn't matter. The SD's know the truth. nt

[SoFlaJet]

10. WOW

just wow-my friggin head is spinning around like Linda Blair after watching and listening to that load of bullshit from Terry

[Bensthename]

12. He would be a great used car salesman.

[flpoljunkie]

20. And, Russert let his early 2209 delegates needed to win, slip right by him. He's sweating now.

[Lisa0825]

49. He also let "she won Texas" slip by without correcting him.nt

[Kittycat]

14. It doesn't play here until 10CST :(

[SoFlaJet]

16. it was like watching

a streaker running across the field

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

25. Don't look Ethel!

[Kittycat]

47. ..

:spray:

We're watching Fox right now on delay, and Wolfson is up. Thought I would add... i really hate watching fox.

[my3boyz]

39. Best part was when Russert pulled out McAwful's book

and read the quotes where he said he would punish Michigan. Oh the look on his face! LOL

[crankychatter]

42. I haven't watched as much Corporate Media in 8 years

ya'all are going to get my brain infected

listening to Clinton's teamers makes my eyes cross and ears bleed trying to wrap my head around their convoluted logic

[Doityourself]

44. ha ha pumpkinhead naile Terry on Michigan voting early from his own book..lmao

[crankychatter]

45. 50%.... oh, kerSNAP... he nailed Terry on Fl and MI

that quote... lmao

[rodeodance]

46. Terry's message: A Democratic Party that goes to a convention with only 48 states is NOT democratic

[Kittycat]

56. It's already been made clear that MI & FL will be seated.

It just won't be stolen for Hillary. They will work out a fair compromise - especially in MI.

[hokies4ever]

59. Wolfson said he wants +58 delegates from FL+MI

Which amounts to a 66-34 seating of those delegates. That really sound fair to you? Heck, why stop at 66%. Might as well demand an 80-20 split while you're at it. Just how much of the Hillary kool-aid have you been drinking?

[yourguide]

62. This was the worst part

When McAuliffe said his dad and Russerts dad were watching this from heaven, drinking a scotch. Only Big Russ is still ALIVE! Video here:
