People who accuse Hillary Clinton of milking today's incident for political gain

[LoZoccolo]

wish that their candidate was important enough for some crazy person to try to pull some insane stunt against.

Don't be a player-hater; it makes you look all sorry.

[Clintonista2]

1. K&R.

[Catherine Vincent]

2. LOL!

[mtnsnake]

3. Aint that the truth!

[durrrty libby]

4. Lol ........There is plenty of "sorry"

[PATRICK]

5. Cripes

I HOPE every Dem candidate can respond well and look good when "things happen". Do we want Dems to take it on the chin or sink low every time something, anything, happens? We have a corporate media doing that cheap shot job, no need in the slightest for us to be incredibly stupid. I want my candidate to win over the others at their best. Otherwise there is an unearned gain for the GOP from OUR process.

it is a needed reminder that all our Dems are quality people. The suspension of most sniping during the incident shows that in essence, despite the intentions of many to "dish it out" we are quality Dems too.

Now enough with the crazy guy on Fox. Let's get back to the flame wars and pretend we are big many mean campaign activists.

[Mojorabbit]

6. Personally

I think it is sick to use what happened for a political end.

[eridani]

16. I really don't think she did that

And I'm certainly not a fan.

[Mojorabbit]

28. I am not talking about her

I am talking about the media and some posts on this board.

[illinoisprogressive]

7. I agree. We should try to be a bit sensitive. We may not support HRC but, we

need to show solidarity today. I saw 5 young adults who could have died tragically.
Can't we just put aside the fighting for awhile and just be together for awhile and show some heart.

[cali]

8. aaarggh

who knows why they do it, but you just gave them another opportunity to polish their hate chops.

[Kucinich4America]

9. I don't think Hillary's trying to milk it at all.

But I can't say the same for the Hillbots who think they need to start 50 threads with the same ridiculous accusations.

[Clintonista2]

13. Or the Haters who think they need to start 50 threads with the same ridiculous accusations.

[ronnykmarshall]

34. Ahhhh the "Hillbot" tag

How NIIIIICCCCEEEE!

[Bitwit1234]

10. That's why the are always posting Hillary hate. Their candidate is

such a non-enity they are jealous as hell of her.

[waiting for hope]

35. Did you ever think that comments like this:

Their candidate is such a non-enity they are jealous as hell of her.

Is why there is so much discourse? Really, get over yourself, not one vote has been cast as of yet, but, please, enlighten me if the Primary is over and I missed it.

[burythehatchet]

11. people who... people who... people who...

tagging bagging and sliming comes so easy.

[Fresh_Start]

12. even 'unimportant people' can have freaky stalkers

this post is as bad as the HRC-haters....calling the other candidates unimportant is equally offensive

[HughMoran]

14. OK, stop it already

I hate the Hillary bash-fest as much as you, but going overboard in the other direction does little more than fan the flames of discontent here.

[calteacherguy]

15. That's a really stupid thing to say.

This guy could have gone into any campaign office.

[cuke]

19. Sort of like the way you could be supporting any candidate

and you'd still be making no sense

[Andromeda]

17. K&R

.

[FrenchieCat]

18. I've been gone off the boards since this morning.....

But I don't believe that Hillary "used" anything. If she had remained silent, she'd be accused of doing a "Bush" who took his time prior to saying anything about 9/11.

I agree. Those who accuse Hillary of anything untowards based on this crazy incident are really stooping to a new low, if that's possible! :eyes:

[sampsonblk]

20. k & r

Damn right.

[Perry Logan]

21. She's beating them. And now she gets this incredible free publicity. Aggravating.

[tom_paine]

26. Maybe you could take a minute to be a decent human being, Perry.

You know, I could give a shit about who gets publicity or who is beating who in the face of something like this.

A fucking nutball took innocent people hostage and was threatening their lives. I am happy the people are safe, that no one got hurt or killed, and the hostage-taker is in custody. Period.

Now, maybe you wish to accuse me of being a phony holier-than-thou and an insincere bastard who's using reverse psychology to try to scare up support for my candidate

:rofl:

but whatever happened to simple human decency? Not everything is about politics, marketing and publicity, all the wrong things we worship at the altar of the television, today in 21st Century America.

And not everybody who holds a position does it for ulterior and unpleasant motives.

I don't know what else to say. Go ahead and flame me. Attack my fucking text formatting or my typing or whatever else you like. I said my piece, now you can go ahead and rip me as a desperate asshole Edwards supporter trying to get on with my Hillary Hatin'.

[fightindonkey]

22. The Media Is All Over Her For How Incredibly Well She Handled The Situation

And no "I's" or "Me's" in her words either. They're all over her.

[H2O Man]

23. Senator Clinton

deserves an A+ for how well she responded to the crisis.

[Madam Mossfern]

31. How else could she have responded?

Did you expect her to get hysterical?

[zulchzulu]

24. I thought your post was for good intentions at first...

...but it seems you want to rub the horrible event (that fortunately ended up fairly well) in people's faces.

Why the hell did you do that? I thought 99% of people saw the event as a tragic event and held respect for those affected and were relieved that it ended up pretty well.

You, however, seem to want to play a passive/aggressive sociopathic role in this.

Get some help.

[LoZoccolo]

27. I just want people to stop making this tasteless accusation.

They were operating on a base level so I decided to go down to theirs to smack them is all. The funny thing about this is that I like Obama better than Clinton, I'm just not very anti-Clinton.

[mtnsnake]

30. Here you are trying to do some good & the idiots show up like clockwork

It never fails, does it, and it's always the same ones.

The funny thing about this is that I like Obama better than Clinton, I'm just not very anti-Clinton

I'm highest on Kucinich, always have been. I've always been hopeful for Obama, too, as well as Hillary, but when it comes to the slanderous shit that's hurled Hillary's way, I find myself defending her so much from the liars who spew their venom that I've actually grown to like her more and more.

[mtnsnake]

29. What a sanctimonious pantload!!

You and your faux psychiatric string-cheese "Dr Phil wannabe" diatribes are enough to make anyone :puke:

[Forkboy]

37. "passive/aggressive sociopathic role"

Man, you got a handle on him there! :thumbsup:

[LoZoccolo]

38. I think it is much more passive/agressive and sociopathic...

...to pursue an electoral strategy which relies on letting the Republicans rampage everything and let harm come to masses of people as revenge for the Democrats not doing everything one wants.

[Moochy]

40. LZ & Good intentions

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

thanks that was a good one!

[tom_paine]

25. I call bullshit. WHO is doing that? Other that Bushie Wingnuts, that is?

Shouldn't you be posting this on FR? And no, I don't mean I suspect you of being a Secret Freeper :rofl:, I mean you should open an account over there and post this.

Even if there is (and with thousands of people posting here statistically it is highly likely that their is a little of that talk going on) some of that going on here, posting that thread here at DU is like a park ranger scolding a litterbug while 50 yards away a guy with a flamethrower is gratuitously setting stands of trees on fire and laughing insanely.

So, I tell you what LoZoccolo (and we have had many fine conversations on this board, so please don't think I am slamming you wholesale, but I cannot let this go by with answerin because I think you are dead wrong on this one), why don't you show us that you're willing to take on the people who are REALLY 90% of the source of this kind of talk, I guarantee you, and post this in one of their forums...or how about a big conversation board that has all sides represented?

You are wrong on this one. 100% wrong, and that's not easy to do. Even if a handful of DU people are spewing that kind of odious sentiment, your anger is misdirected, to say the least.

[itsrobert]

32. You're right, Hillary Clinton attracts the nut jobs

Like Carville, Penn, Estrich, and Rupert Murdoch.

[mtnsnake]

33. Yeah you just proved it. nt

[applegrove]

36. It was too bad Hillary didn't get a chance to make a speech at the DNC meeting.

A real loss for her but she had no choice while her staff was held hostage.

[Moochy]

39. People who..

need to define assisneness, (assinanity?) before making polls using that word!

The player-h8ers better recognize, Dog.
