Maxine Waters Endorses Hillary Clinton...Some Of The Denizens Of DU Diss Maxine Waters

[DemocratSinceBirth]

The irony...

The irony...

Carry on...

[oasis]

1. The same Maxine Waters who campaigned for Ned Lamont?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. And The Same Maxine Waters Who Didn't Want To Certify The Results Of The Purloined 00 Election

~

[Occam Bandage]

The same Maxine Waters that no DUers have, AFAIK, dissed?

22. Mao Zedong: "To read too many books is harmful. "

So, which post has the "diss" of Rep. Waters?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

30. Maybe The One Where A Poster Said She Was Corrupt

Maybe the one where a poster implied she endorsed Hillary because Bill gave her husband a job

or

Maybe the several posters who suggested she was insignificant...

[Occam Bandage]

34. That poster was also generally appreciative of her, and repeated it was a good endorsement.

As for the "insignificant" claim--well, saying "that isn't a major endorsement" is a valid reply when you claim a Representative is a major endorsement.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

39. Life Is Too Short To Quibble About Semantics

I'll pick out one poster...

One poster implied she was insignificant not that the endorsement was...Without knowing the poster I would suspect Ms. Waters' accomplishments were certainly greater than his own...

I have to work to do... There is a record:

40. You're really stretching to find a negative. Why not just be happy that the overwhelming majority

of responses from the Obama camp were completely positive?

It seems like you're trying to draw a false equivalence between the embarrassing savaging of Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry and the overwhelmingly classy responses to the Waters endorsement.

[oasis]

17. She was the star of "Farenheit 9/11".

[rox63]

2. I support Obama, and I congratulate the Clinton Team on getting Waters' endorsement

It's a good catch.

[SteppingRazor]

3. You mean like when Ted Kennedy endorsed Barack Obama and got slammed by some DUers?

I hear what you're saying, but I do think there's been some jag-offs on both sides of this, especially in regard to trashing supporters and endorsers of the other side.

[mondo joe]

5. It's pathetic either way, whether its Kennedy, Waters, Bill Clinton or any

other Dem.

[SteppingRazor]

8. That's what I'm sayin'.

Although, you know, I don't think there was very much doubt of who would get the Bill Clinton endorsement. ;)

[Neecy]

4. I have tremendous respect for Rep. Waters

It's disappointing that she endorsed Hillary, but that doesn't lessen my respect for her.

[IndianaJones]

6. only white males are major endorsements. nt.

[cali]

7. I haven't seen any of that- and it's certainly NOTHING

compared to the savaging that went on about Teddy and Kerry. it's a great endorsement. I said that a while back when she first got on board with Clinton.

[Occam Bandage]

13. I haven't seen a single post attacking Rep Waters, either.

[IndianaJones]

14. two threads will show you it is happening. take a peek.

[Occam Bandage]

18. I looked in each thread with "Waters" in the subject. Couldn't find one insult directed at her.

42. What. It is an important endorsement and I respect Waters for her foreign policy
Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 05:01 PM by Mass
proposals to get out of Iraq.

She is not the most ethical congressperson, though. Sorry if you cannot stand the truth.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=132

There are several more...They fall into several categories

-She's corrupt

-She' bought which I guess is another way of saying she's corrupt

-She's insignificant

[Occam Bandage]

27. "It is an important endorsement and I respect Waters for her foreign policy."

Man, he just savaged her there.

[rodeodance]

44. maybe glasses are in order?? -or a new perscription??

21. Look Here

[Occam Bandage]

24. I already did; I didn't find any "dissing" of Rep. Waters. A few people said it wasn't "major,"

but that isn't a diss of Waters; it was a quibble over its importance.

38. Ah, okay, so we've got one asshat.

[BeyondGeography]

9. I like Maxine; she's a fighter

She made a bad decision, but I still like her.

[Occam Bandage]

10. Maxine Waters is a good endorsement.

[NYCGirl]

12. Where is the dissing? I don't see any. Links? NT

[Joe the Revelator]

15. Now you're just making stuff up

I saw no "disses" directed toward Waters. Even I said it was a good endorsment.

[onenote]

25. I only saw one. link here

In another thread, one poster implied that the endorsement might be payback for some favor done by the Clintons for Waters' husband and suggested that Waters (who the poster claimed to admire) wasn't
"the most ethical congresswoman." Not terribly nice, but the only one, so I think the OP may be a bit overheated insofar as it suggests multiple Obama supporters have been dissing Waters.

[Mass]

31. I never posted the part concerning the favor. Do not even know it it is true.

For the rest, I admire Waters for what she did against the war. It does not change the rest, though I erased it because I was tired of people trying to turn my honest opinion against Obama.

[onenote]

41. sorry, It was another poster that implied a favor to waters husband was involved

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4266028&mesg_id=4266264

I just assumed your post's reference to "ethical" issues was based on that post. My bad.

[sandnsea]

42. No, that explains the historical relationship

They've been friends for a long time, like Hillary and Kathleen Kennedy have been friends a long time. Doesn't mean Kathleen is expecting any favors from Hillary, it just explains the context of the endorsement.

[Mass]

16. Maxime Waters is a good catch for the Clinton. I admire her and said so .

If this is my post you are referring to.

[featherman]

20. Why do this kind of posting... near universal respect on this

board for Maxine

23. Congrats Clinton supporters.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. It's a good endorsement. No complaints from me.

[Bread and Circus]

29. Congratulations.

[rucky]

36. Let's ignore all the supportive comments

Negativity is so much more fun. In fact, from now on, I'm hiding all of the positive threads and comments, too. They're really killing my buzz from the blood-pressure spikes.

[cali]

37. The irony is that you're posting this thread-

considering the behavior of people yesterday and the the day before about those who have endorsed Obama. And didn't you make a few less than flattering comments yourself and even start a thread?

That's the irony. Obama supporters have overwhelmingly been polite and congratulatory about this endorsement. What you should have posted is an OP noting that- or nothing at all. It just looks sadly hypocritical of you.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

45. Au Contraire

Given my avatar I would have to be a moron to disrespect Ted Kennedy...All I have said and will say is that I would have hoped he remained neutral and I was disappointed by the endorsement...

I did not comment on any of the other endorsements...

The only "bashing" threads I started was to correct the record on Ronald Reagan...

[CyberPieHole]

43. I love Maxine Waters...that is a wonderful endorsement for Senator Clinton...

:kick: and recommend for Clinton and Waters

Here is link on endorsement:
