Will Obama put a stop to the anti-Hillary e-mail smear campaign?

[MethuenProgressive]

According to ObamaNation all smears start at the top, so when will Obama put a stop to these emails?

An anonymous e-mail makes the case that Sen. Clinton holds the same beliefs as Karl Marx and Josef Stalin by using communist-sounding quotes.

Clinton "refused repeated requests to meet with the Gold Star Mothers."

"The Clintons now charge the Secret Service $10,000 monthly rent for the use of (a) Secret Service residence and that rent is just about equal to their mortgage payment."

1. How dare you imply that Lord Obama is behind this!

He walks on water and is "above the fray" You must be a racist.

[Renew Deal]

12. Someone got banned for what you said

Just the other day.

[MNDemNY]

15. For sarcasm?

[Renew Deal]

21. Too much Lord Obama BS.

[MNDemNY]

22. .

:crazy:

[Clintonista2]

37. The babies want dissent to be banned

How surprising... not.

[MNDemNY]

40. Most of them have an ignore list the size of a phone book.

Ignorance is bliss?

[MethuenProgressive]

46. I think everyone who said they were putting me on ignore in the past...

have flamed me today. It's a funny place, ObamaNation.

[Tactical Progressive]

52. Who got banned?

And what exactly did they say against Obama?

I only ask because it seems that DU moderators have allowed ANYTHING to be said against the "evil", "low-class", "two-faced", "sociopathic", "filthy", "evil" "bitch" Hillary, for months on end. (Those come from a handful of threads over the course of just about an hour of casual reading a couple of weeks ago.)

I literally cannot imagine what possible insult to Obama could earn even just a warning given what DU moderators have countenanced against Hillary - constantly - over the course of almost an entire year.

[MethuenProgressive]

54. I wish I could rec this post.

:thumbsup:

[HeraldSquare212]

2. 2001?

One of those started in 2001. I don't see anything in the link that says Obama campaign is circulating them. Is there more info somewhere?

[zulchzulu]

4. Obama started sending emails about Hillary when he was in kindergarten

:sarcasm:

[bvar22]

49. LOL!!

:toast:

[Occam Bandage]

10. Just a pathetic attempt to muddy the waters, from a backer of a failing campaign.

[MethuenProgressive]

25. How's Biden doing?

As a Richardson backer, I feel your pain.

[Occam Bandage]

29. Well, I'm sure.

How's his campaign doing? Eesh. Love the guy, but 'intelligent, competent foreign policy' doesn't rile up a crowd.

[MethuenProgressive]

32. "'intelligent, competent foreign policy' doesn't rile up a crowd"

Yeah. I can relate.

[zulchzulu]

3. Did you get the memo that there are a LOT of people who don't like the Clintons?

Of course, why not blame every story on the Obama campaign if it makes you feel good. After all, it's pretty bad news for the Clinton camp these days...

I would suggest that the anti-Clinton stuff out there is a billion dollar industry. if you wanna LIE and say it's all coming from Obama fans, then enjoy your delusion.

[dbackjon]

7. I think that is the point

Which is completely lost on most of the Obamaheads.

[MNDemNY]

8. Are you enjoying your delusion?

[Occam Bandage]

13. One of these was from 2001, and all have been circulating around RW networks, not

LW ones. Why would Obama attempt to lower Hillary's popularity among Republicans? That simply makes no sense whatsoever. You guys are really, really reaching.

[zulchzulu]

17. Nailed it...

It's like watching a dazed boxer flailing at thin air hoping for a hit before falling to the mat...

[MNDemNY]

18. Who is "you guys"??

[Occam Bandage]

19. You and MethuenProgressive.

[MethuenProgressive]

20. Occam...

"You guys are really, really reaching"
I'm not reaching. I'm mocking.

[MNDemNY]

23. It's lost on many.

:toast:

[Occam Bandage]

27. Yes, I know. And your point is completely bogus.

Unless I've totally misread you, you're mocking the Hillary-directed uproar at the email smears originating in the Clinton campaign. In order to do so, you point at e-mail slander originating--and circulating--entirely among freepers. In order for your mockery to work, you're painting the issue as the emails rather than the source of the emails, and that is an incredible reach.

[MethuenProgressive]

31. My point, Occam, was made in the first nine words of the OP.

"According to ObamaNation all smears start at the top,"
Sorry the razor was too sharp for you.

edit added the 'nine words' because I had to go back and count them anyway so I wouldn't get flamed for poor math.

[Occam Bandage]

33. And that isn't the Obama campaign's point. Their point is that all

actions originating from a campaign start at (or at least are condoned by) the top of that campaign. To claim that the issue was "all smears are the responsibility of your best-polling opponent" is a reach.

[MNDemNY]

41. Are you sure "ObamaNation" is one word?

[MethuenProgressive]

44. My spellchecker wants to make it:

"Abomination" :rofl:

[MNDemNY]

45. That fits.

[Tom Joad]

5. accusing hillary of being a communist? who accuses her of being a liberal?

even the latter is wacko.
she is a true-blue, corporatist.

[Occam Bandage]

9. Conservatives are convinced she's a communist.

Liberals are convinced she's a corporatist.

Neither are supported by her voting record.

[MethuenProgressive]

14. Only because they can't spell socialist.

Liberals, however, are wicked good spellers.

[MNDemNY]

24. Though, apparently, some struggle with reading comprehension.

[dionysus]

36. i think you mistake your rudeness for cleverness

pathetic, really

[Occam Bandage]

6. Wow. A gyroscope's got nothing on the Clinton campaign.

[Renew Deal]

11. What does that have to do with Obama? None of the articles say those came from his campaign

Why are you being so dishonest?

[Occam Bandage]

16. Moreover, they're all only appealing to freepers. Why would Obama want to suggest

that Clinton was more liberal during the primaries?

[Joe the Revelator]

26. Another Pathetic attempt by Team Hillary to deflect attention

nt

[Renew Deal]

28. I think this guy supports Richardson.

But he knows what we all know. Richardson is pathetically inept.

[MethuenProgressive]

55. Damn right. Because 2013 Is Too Late.

30. Here's help

[Occam Bandage]

34. Hee hee! Stupid man, all stuffed with straw.

[dionysus]

35. Will Methuen"Progressive" put a stop to his Obama smear obsession?

[MethuenProgressive]

48. Obama is not ObamaNation, dionysus

And little that can be said about ObamaNation is a smear.

[MethuenProgressive]

38. Hillary just apologized for comments she neither made nor authorized, Where's Obama's apology?

Hasn't it been long enough?

[MNDemNY]

42. Blasphemy!

[Forkboy]

39. Are any of those from his campaign, or just random emails?

[DrFunkenstein]

43. Members of the Clinton Campaign Have Been Traced to Smears

These are random yahoos and the Clinton supporters are just trying pathetically to muddy the waters - like always - by saying other people commit the unethical tactics of the Clinton campaign.

[hedgehog]

47. Reminds me of Dick Nixon. No matter what he did, his excuse was

the other guy did it first!




Thus, when Dick Tuck had a bunch of pregnant women at a campaign stop wave signs with Nixon's slogan (Nixon's the One), Nixon remembered and used that "Dirty trick" to justify the Watergate break in.

[MethuenProgressive]

50. I thought that was a Laugh-in skit!

TV was much better back when I was a pup...

[Forkboy]

51. I figured as much. Par for the OP's course.

[MethuenProgressive]

53. In debate, Obama ignores the email smear campaign against Clinton.

He had his chance to denounce it. Why wouldn't he?
