Why isn't there any outrage about the Hillary anti Edwards robo calls in SC?

[saracat]

when Hillary attacks Obama , DU explodes in rightous indignation! But this is considered "politics as usual" by some.. The Clinton Campign even admitted they did this for gods sake! I am disgusted bu both frontrunning campaigns. This behavior is not defensible.NOW we know what Hillary talked to Edwards about.The smart money says she "warned" him. And to think I was leaning toward her as second choice.Now I have no other choice.Edwards is the only decent candidate we have.

2. She is attempting to marginalize him

He is coming up in the national polls and while not a direct threat...yet...long term could very well be.
I believe she even said that there were only TWO left in the campaign.
Pure fucking pond scum.:mad:

11. She indeed did say that -- last night in Nashville.

3. outrage is difficult to muster when the event is expected. n/t

[greenvpi]

25. I expect a mugger to take my money...

that doesn't make it wrong to be angry.

[burythehatchet]

30. you need to relocate

5. As an Obama supporter, I agree with you

The Clintons crossed the line with those robo calls against Edwards, and the media should be out front on that issue since the Clintons used the same dirty Republican tactic in NV against Obama too.

Theres a pattern there, one that the MSM should be hitting the Clinton campaign over the head with.

6. Why didn't anyone care about the calls in Michigan saying their primary had been cancelled?

No one cared about that, because it was just Hillary, of the top three, on the ballot.

7. My outrage will be shown at the polls....

if Clinton is the nominee she will have to earn back my respect in order to get my vote.

8. waah

I see you still haven't mastered the space bar yet...

[saracat]

15. I am glad you have your priorities straight!

[Jane Austin]

16. Nor you the use of the elipse. n/t

[MilesColtrane]

9. Trying to deny him the 15 plus percentages he needs to get convention delegates?

She doesn't want to be headed to the convention deadlocked with Obama knowing that Edwards could decide the nominee.

[Kittycat]

10. I posted my outrage last night, and support you in yours.

[bobbolink]

13. Why isn't there any outrage about the destruction of our nation?

The two are very related.

:cry:

14. Edwards should bring it up. After all, Chelsea works for a hedge fund and Bill is cashing out

of his private equity firm.

I thought the robo call was a low blow.

[MonkeyFunk]

17. Did the calls lie about anything?

[cbayer]

19. sadly, all true

[karynnj]

22. No overt lies that I can see

but there are things she puts in the worst light possible and she accuses him of things she is guilty of herself.

[sfam]

18. Robo calls are fairly tacky...there should be outrage

I agree there really was nothing, other than an acknowledgement that it happened.

[creeksneakers2]

20. The recording was factually correct

And addressed subjects Edwards brought up himself. Robo calls are annoying but don't constitute an unfair attack by themselves. Its not fair to lump Hillary's calls in with the abuse of robo calls that has taken place before.

[karynnj]

21. I think they were tacky

Though the items sited had some truth, the truth was surrounded by hyperbole and stated in the worst possible case - giving no benefit of the doubt on anything. They also ignore corresponding issues that Clinton herself has. The only fair thing in them is that she did label them as from her.

I doubt she warned Edwards - though it would be fascinating to know what they did speak of. What did Obama do that bothered you as much as this? I definitely have not seen similar attacks from him.

23. Prolly the same reason they weren't outraged about the anti hillary robo calls in SC. nt

[cgrindley]

24. Because Edwards is irrelevant? (nt)

[saracat]

26. It isn't Edwards who is irrelevent.Look in the mirror .

[cgrindley]

27. Actually, I have a better chance of winning a primary than he does (nt)

[saracat]

28. Talk to the Hand . Ignore button back on.Find another candidate to insult!

[JI7]

29. the Clinton camp said he had been running ads attacking her

so they responded.
