NY TIMES: At a campaign stop in Bethlehem on Sunday, Mrs. Clinton reminded voters about last week’s Democratic debate, in which Mr. Obama was repeatedly on the defensive about recent gaffes and incendiary remarks made by his former pastor. “It’s no wonder my opponent has been so negative these last few days of this campaign,” she said, “because I think you saw the difference between us.”
Yeah, we know the differences alright. You know exactly when to play the victim and when to stick a shiv in someone's back when you get slapped around by someone who's been trying to stay above the fray for weeks.
Maybe Obama was "repeatedly on the defensive" because of the bullshit questions asked in what was arguably the worst televised debate in history. So he can sit there and take it, but if he should happen to defend himself, all of a sudden he's accused of abandoning his message for "old-style" politics. And you sure know about old-style politics, don't you Ms. Kitchen Sink?
Yeah, we saw the differences alright. We saw the difference between someone who wants to talk about issues and how they can help lift the country up and someone who was too happy to side with moderators on questions regarding "scandal" that have been asked repeatedly and discussed ad nauseam and debunked over and over. That is why your lead in Pennsylvania has shrunk from 18 points down to 6 in just a matter of a few weeks, Ms. Duck Hunter.
It's not the outspending that's hurting you, its the message. Not only his message, but your message. We don't want it anymore. We are done. And when this primary is over, should you decide to run for re-election for your New York Senate seat when it is time, I will work as hard as I can for whomever decides to run against you in the Democratic primary. The grassroots are taking you down here, and they're going to take you down in New York. Why? Because we are done. We are sick of the Clinton Royal Family.
We know exactly what the difference are.
UPDATE: Michael Moore endorses Obama (if he could vote).
...the actions and words of Hillary Clinton have gone from being merely disappointing to downright disgusting. I guess the debate last week was the final straw. I've watched Senator Clinton and her husband play this game of appealing to the worst side of white people, but last Wednesday, when she hurled the name "Farrakhan" out of nowhere, well that's when the silly season came to an early end for me. She said the "F" word to scare white people, pure and simple. Of course, Obama has no connection to Farrakhan. But, according to Senator Clinton, Obama's pastor does -- AND the "church bulletin" once included a Los Angeles Times op-ed from some guy with Hamas! No, not the church bulletin!
This sleazy attempt to smear Obama was brilliantly explained the following night by Stephen Colbert. He pointed out that if Obama is supported by Ted Kennedy, who is Catholic, and the Catholic Church is led by a Pope who was in the Hitler Youth, that can mean only one thing: OBAMA LOVES HITLER!
Yes, Senator Clinton, that's how you sounded. Like you were nuts. Like you were a bigot stoking the fires of stupidity. How sad that I would ever have to write those words about you. You have devoted your life to good causes and good deeds. And now to throw it all away for an office you can't win unless you smear the black man so much that the superdelegates cry "Uncle (Tom)" and give it all to you.
