LOL - Change you can xerox!

[MagsDem]

What a great way to say Obama is a complete fake. BEST. LINE. OF. THE. DEBATE.

Next best line, "if you're candidancy going to be based on words, they should at least be your own words."

Go Hill!

[polichick]

1. Except the audience booed her - people are sick of the nastiness. nt

[Fox Mulder]

3. Agreed.

[subsuelo]

7. Yup

[Catchawave]

4. Obama supporters booed her...rude n/t

[polichick]

9. Her comment was rude, so the booing was appropriate. nt

[Catchawave]

14. boooing is never appropriate n/t

[thevoiceofreason]

16. And while some booed, -- NO ONE CHEERED

[polichick]

17. It worked perfectly to change her tack - high time the people...

...set the tone. Well done.

[LittleClarkie]

35. How could you tell?

How do you know they weren't undecided?

[Skip Intro]

58. exactly

[sloppyjoe25s]

83. And the line was obviously "written for her"

I wonder how much Mrs. Clinton's campaign over-paid the consultant for that gem?

[WinkyDink]

76. That's "nastiness"? What are we, Casper Milquetoasts?

That didn't even rise to the level of "Your mother wears Army boots."

[emilyg]

2. Go Hillary!

[gerrilea]

5. Go Hillary Go, Go Baby Go!!!

[TexasObserver]

6. It Takes a Village to plagiarize an entire book called It Takes a Village.

[Thrill]

8. You think that went over well? She looked stupid

[DemGa]

10. What a great line -- wonderful!!

[Political Heretic]

11. Yeah "best line" drowned out by the boos of the crowd. People are sick of her silliness.

She looks worse and worse every time she stays on this same tired track of political bullshit as usual.

[ErnestoG]

41. Boy they sure did. The crowd HATED that.

Obama loved it though. He didn't have to do anything while Hillary got off another round into her own foot.

[Enrique]

12. it was a mistake and she knew it immediately

the boos probably tipped her off. She moved on right away to a much more effective and heartfelt line of attack.

[elixir]

26. At the time of the booing both candidates were speaking. He brought it up and chalenged her

she had to respond.

[Alexander]

78. It's pretty clear to impartial observers that they were booing at her.

She deserved to be challenged, because it's a bullshit line of attack.

[scheming daemons]

13. Hillary got booed..... that's a killer.....

....She came off petty and the crowd actually BOOED her.


Cheer that line all you want, Clintonistas.... it hurt her badly.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

15. Regardless Of The Boos, That Was One Of The Sharpest, Best Lines In A Debate I've Ever Heard, Period

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

68. which speech writer dreamed that up?

I know she didn't plagiarize it, so who wrote it for her?

It went over like a lead balloon, and you could tell she knew it by the
look on her face.

[anigbrowl]

73. Yeah, too bad the audience didn't go for it the way you did.

[Alexander]

79. She should repeat it over and over, as many times as possible.

She'll lose every remaining state in a landslide.

[rhett o rick]

18. Petty shite. No one uses their own words. Why can't you use anyone's words if they are

applicable. Petty schite.

[cottonseed]

19. There's not many folks left that accept this type of garbage.

The boos say it all.

[Leo 9]

20. It was a tintype moment.

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. ...

:spray: :evilgrin:

[elixir]

22. Good one!

[elixir]

23. "I am honored to be here w/ Barack Obama" HRC, is a class act.

[Quixote1818]

24. The red line dropped like a rock on that comment. That line did her more damage

than any other mistake of the evening.

[elixir]

25. "I am honotred to be here w/ Barack Obama" HRC is a class act.

[stillrockin]

27. Uh, doesn't seem to have gone over all that well.

[Danger Mouse]

28. Enjoy that line while you can.

It will hurt her in the long run.

[stevietheman]

29. and then she closed the debate with comments she xeroxed from her husband and Edwards. n/t

n/t

[Milo_Bloom]

30. Best line if you are an Obama supporter... That line sealed the deal for Obama.

[TheZug]

31. Yeah, John Chancellor, Frank Reynolds and Walter Cronkite will be all over that one.

[Breeze54]

32. It was a great line!

:P

[RamboLiberal]

33. Only in Hillaryworld - every pundit called it a "Clinker" to

use Tweety's term.

[Breeze54]

44. Pundits are morons.

[RamboLiberal]

72. Nope anyone who thought that was a great line is a Hillarybot

Wonder how many millions she paid her consultants for that one - if I was her I'd demand a refund.

[anigbrowl]

74. Yep, they are all wrong, every last one. /nt

[grantcart]

34. yeah brilliant except for the fact that

she is using a unattributed scripted line to criticize Obama for using a previously attributed (gonna steal a line from my friend)line from a speech writer.

everybody saw threw it.

you didn't really think that she just thought that up right then now did you.

[Johnny__Motown]

36. Best line because it may have ended her campaign, I will give you that

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

37. it bit her in the ass, and that comment about Tx state senator

ouch. I am not a Hillary fan, but it is always painful to see that.

Kinda like her mentioning Tweety abusing that state senator from Texas.
Any thought as to how that will play with Texas voters?

[XemaSab]

61. Not just a state senator.

The state senator from Austin.

Where the debate was held.

Who probably most of the audience voted for.

[ContinentalOp]

38. I guess it's Silly Season here at DU.

:eyes:

[Raine]

39. Hillary sure blew it

she came off as really nasty after Obama took the high road. Probably finished herself off for good with that one.

[ErnestoG]

40. While she wound up xeroxing her own hubbies words at the end!

HAHAAHA..priceless.

[Breeze54]

45. Apparently they both are very familiar with Xerox!

:P

Copycatting all the way on both sides!

[Tatiana]

42. That line went over like a lead balloon.

Though she finished very strongly, Hillary did not do what she needed to do in the debate.

[TheZug]

43. Must have hired Sinbad for that one.

[The Doctor.]

46. That phrase had the very poor timing of the poorly contrived and poorly executed. nt

[knowledgeispwr]

47. Great line....for Obama!

Seriously, that went over like a lead balloon for Sen. Clinton. What's even worse for Clinton is that Obama hit it out of the park in his response, making her look even more petty than the comment itself did.

I want Obama to win, but sometimes I feel bad for Clinton. She and her campaign have made some costly mistakes.

[XemaSab]

62. You're getting it backwards

The "silly season" comment was said BEFORE her line.

[Unsane]

48. No. It. Was. Not. The. Best. Line. Of. The. Debate. Comma. It. Went. Over. Like. A. Lead. Balloon.

[MoonRiver]

49. It was right on and I loved it!

Obamamatrons in the audience clearly did not agree! :D

[jenmito]

53. PLEASE write to her and tell her to keep using it then!

:hi:

[cottonseed]

50. The line will live on in political history.

I'll admit one thing, this won't be the last time we'll hear this line. It will go down in history as one of the most politically tone deaf, worst timed, worst positioned, nonsensical and unhelpful lines in political history. We'll hear how candidates need to avoid the "xerox" moment in debates from now until the end of most our lifetimes. They'll write books about it.

[jenmito]

51. I started a thread today calling it the same thing you did-

"Tone deaf." I can't believe some of her supporters not only think it was a great line but the "Best. Line. Of. The. Debate." They are as tone deaf as SHE is. But I'm sure her advisers, unlike her supporters, realize it was a BAD move, and it won't be said again.

[cottonseed]

66. Hey! Maybe that's where I got that in my head.

Sorry for plagiarizing you. :) As far as the line goes, yes, it's a stinker. I think the thing should be taught in political science courses. It was just uncanny how badly it was delivered, the timing, and the fact that it wasn't even her own "words"! It was incredible. And then, you've got the supporters convinced it was the best line of the night -- it's definitely ripe for discussion.

[jenmito]

71. No problem...

Feel free to "plagiarize" me any time. I now consider you my DU buddy and I have no problem with you Xeroxing my words. :D

Yup, I can't believe how some people think it was just the greatest thing since sliced bread! Now I understand how 25% of people still think Bush is doing a good job. There's no accounting for taste. :shrug:

[alphafemale]

57. Yep. That's a campaign sinker. Along the lines of "Who am I and why am I here?"

Thud.

Amazing that the Hill supporters think it was a great line.

Wow.

[cottonseed]

67. Ha! That's the line I was looking for.

I was wracking my brain for that one earlier today, but just couldn't get it. Thanks! It would be funny if someone put a video together of the debate, with a laugh track, and then silence at the xerox line. They could post it on "the YouTube".

[XemaSab]

70. Okay, yesterday there was a thread floating around for "the worst thing ever said in a debate."

"Who am I and why am I here?" is the winner. Hands down.

Admiral Stockdale.

[coalition_unwilling]

52. Listening to it on Air America this a.m., it only sounded "bitchy" to me -n/t

[Barack_America]

54. Wow, as I suspected, you are completely out of touch with reality.

She was loudly BOOED for that line and nobody in her campaign is willing to accept credit for it.

It was described by Rachel Maddow as "stupid".

And yet you loved it. Why? Because it was nasty?

[AtomicKitten]

55. And her plagiarizing both Edwards and BC is what exactly? YOUR HYPOCRISY.

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

56. LOL? You mean BOL? Because that sure was a lot of booing out loud.

[XemaSab]

59. Shrill and bitchy

n/t

[Danger Mouse]

84. self-hating misogynist.

pawn of the patriarchal oppressor!

[greguganus]

60. delete

wrong post.

[greguganus]

63. Xerox stock dropped today after opening bell. n/t

[jefferson_dem]

64. You, Hillary, Penn, Wolfson, and about three others think that was a good line...

Good luck with that.

[cottonseed]

69. The next great political mystery: who wrote it?

That's what I want to find out!

[doyourealize1]

65. take it with grace...don't sink to the level of the Obama cheerleaders

[maximusveritas]

75. Amazing how out of touch some people are

Hillary was pandering to the Hillary DU crowd with that one. Too bad the majority of Americans are repulsed by those kinds of silly attacks.

[backscatter712]

77. O_o

:spray:

Pass me whatever it is you're smoking!

:hippie: :smoke:

[TheDonkey]

80. Someones been drinking those colorful drinks under the kitchen sink again

It seems. Tsk Tsk

[Alexander]

82. ROFL. You win this thread.

[BuyingThyme]

81. She will be remembered forever for that line.

It is her legacy.

She is forever an idiot and so is anybody who decided to pretend that the word plagiarism was applicable to the circumstance.

Nice goin' Hillbots. You will be remembered for your dishonesty.

[Forkboy]

85. Now I hope she wins, just to keep her from a career in standup if nothing else.

Because that was as funny as a fire at an orphanage. Seriously, if this is funny to anyone then comedy isn't their strong suit.

[helderheid]

86. erm, except she used Edwards words... and Bills words...

:shrug:
