This Samantha Power idiot must not appeal to many bigot voters...
otherwise she'd not only still be employed...but headlining Obama revivals.

2. Obama supporters don't respond. Moderators ask us to ignore them, they'll eventually step over line
in a desperate attempt to get your attention.

Til then, just ignore.

3. That made no sense.
But I reply with:

Walter Payton was the greatest running back in NFL history.

Now you!

5. She's an "idiot" employed by Harvard University, and winner of a Pulitzer Prize
for her book on Genocide.

Now, who's feeling like an idiot? (check nearest available mirror for answer.)

14. It means she agreed to an on-the record interview...which means when
you say something you regret, you can't just say that was off the record after having been said...all journalists know this. Admit it, she fucked up, I'm not calling her an idiot, but she did fuck up.

17. The mistake was in assuming any honor in a Murdoch Empire newspaper.
'The Scotsman' is part of the Murdoch Media Empire ... and we KNOW who Murdoch is funding, don't we?

12. Exactly.
It's not the first time a certain DUer has exposed their political corruption, though.

6. Yeah right
Pulitzer Prize winning PHD's who teach at Harvard and have spent their careers making efforts to stop genocide are really all idiots.

/sarcasm

She was an unpaid foreign policy advisor and is still gainfully employed.

8. Um, right now the bigots are too busy
Lining up to vote for Hillary Clinton because they heard the black guy took his oath on a Koran, refuses to say the Pledge, and wore a turban in that photo that Matt Drudge had on his site.

That's your base, dude, own it and stop trying to project it onto Obama.

10. Hmm? Are you saying Obama supporters are bigots?
Is that like the "Michelle Obama's racism towards white people is palpable" thing from last night?

19. She's still employed by one of the top universities in the US
You show your ignorance.

The Hillary campaign could only hope to get someone of Samantha Power's caliber on the team as a volunteer. Instead you're thrilled with a crusty killer like Madeleine Albright.

The ignorance, hypocrisy and bloodlust of the Hillary team to include its supporters just redoubles my efforts to see her defeatted.

We have a bastard in the White House now. I'll be damned if a monstrous bi&%@ gets the next 8 years.

20. And what have you done that is more brilliant than she has done?
Nothing I bet. She is beautiful and brilliant and you're just jealous you can't be her.
