Too bad Hillary fans, Obama is not going to implode. Not over Wright

[cali]

or anything else.

Hill's most fervent fans here damned well know that the only chance Hillary has is for Obama to implode. That's been obvious for some time now. The glee over Reverend Wright is simply evidence of that. The smell of desperation is overwhelming. Too many of her supporters don't give a rat's ass if she lies, as she did this morning on NPR or throws the kitchen sink at Obama. Yet they invariably howl if Obama responds to her attacks.

It's highly unlikely that Obama's going down over Reverend Wright. She can play plug ugly from now until PA, but he's not going to let her campaign go unanswered, and it's clear he'll be hitting her back hard. He's a better fighter than pugnacious Hill. He doesn't need to shriek "Shame on you, Hillary Clinton". And the proof that he's a better fighter is that he's winning. All this crap about how he's too soft to fight is ludicrous. He knows how to play the iron fist in the velvet glove.

Hillary fans can cling to hope for as long as they want, but her chances at the nomination are very slim. Pretending it's a tie is just denial. It's not. She's come up short. Thankfully.

1. Every new "-gate" sends the screech monkeys into a tizzy, and still

he marches on, calm and undeterred.

[Yes We Did]

2. I've put every one that started a "wright" thread on ignore.

I have really had enough I think. This is just bullshit.

[TwilightGardener]

3. I can't see a lot of them--I must be seeing less of those threads than everyone else.

"Ignore" is not something I used at all, until recently.

[Yes We Did]

22. I've put probably 7 or 8 people on it today.

It's amazing how intollerant you can be of them when you are stuck home with the flue.

[Mooney]

7. I still have yet to "ignore" anybody here

It's funny. It's a good thing to be here for a while and read about all the career-ending scandals and horrors that all the "ignore"-worthy people are all up in arms about, and then you go out into the real word and realize that this place is about as removed from reality as it's possible to get.

[Nitrogenica]

16. Sounds like a plan. Why bother with right wing smear campaigns?

[Yes We Did]

23. I've just heard some really vile things on here today. And...

rather than throwing my mouse through my screen, I figured I'd solve the problem that way.

I'll probably clear the list in a day or two.

4. Not a Hillary fan -but

People are naive if they don't think that the far right isn't going to use this effectively as fodder.

The more this crap comes up and gets dealt with publically now, the less damage it will do in the fall.

[cali]

8. Not denying that for a moment

but the far right has it's own weak spots and it's up to us to exploit them.

[Mooney]

10. They're going to use this, as well as a host of other shit that they're going to just make up.

The point is to stay on top of the debate and not let them control it. Although when they do control it, lately it's been stuff like lapel-gate which have captured the public's interest about as much as Burt Reynolds' last few movies.

5. He's going to go down over this Samantha Power business.

If he refuses to denounce Power's comments and fire her, it's all over for the Obama camp.

[CreekDog]

6. Well, like Ferraro, has Wright stepped down from Obama's campaign?

Oh wait, he was not part of Obama's campaign. :banghead:

[wndycty]

9. I know that you hate it when alleged progressives fall for the manufactured racial controversy. . .

. . .to tear down a great candidate.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

11. gee you sound scared and like you're whistling past the cemetery

oh and it is a tie

[cali]

13. bwahahaha

sorry, your interpretive skills need a whole lot of work. And no, it's not remotely a tie except to desperate hillbots- like you.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

28. damn you are making it hard to be nice to you

[Yurovsky]

17. Calling it a tie doesn't make it so ...

we like to call the person with the most votes the "winner". Now, you can go the GOP route and maybe you'll get a pliant court to hand you the nomination, but I doubt that's going to happen.

Hillary raised a lot of money and ran an aggressive campaign against a large array of challengers. She came in second. Not the end of her world; don't let it be yours.

[Scurrilous]

12. Great post cali.

K & R :thumbsup:

[ampad]

26. I second that

Since I cannot recommend I'll go ahead and second that. Even though I've only been here a short time I have found the ignore function to be great.

[Scurrilous]

29. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[TahitiNut]

14. I hope Obama's daughters don't get a pet bunny rabbit for Easter.

Hillary might sneak in while they're at church and leave it boiling in a pot on their stove.


:evilgrin:

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

15. He is unlikely to implode personally, and remains an overwhelming favorite

That said, this Wright business is a Republican operation, which means they have decided they cannot wait until August to define him.

He will face a ceaseless attack on all sides from here on in.

And that's what it is... I don't applaud it, but it was always in the cards.

[cali]

19. No doubt about it.

But I think people have vastly underestimated him. I also suspect that he's one of those people that have a fair amount of teflon.

[elixir]

18. What? No post telling us to give it up, pleading w/ HRC to hang it up? You've lost your touch.

Hillary will go on, continuing to challenge Obama and win delegates.

[cali]

20. Never have done that.

And she can't win enough delegates. She can continue with her kitchen sink strategy, but she shouldn't be surprised to have it thrown back on her.

[Little Star]

21. His goose is cooked and you are in denial. No one will

win the general with a mentor who practices hatred of whites and Jews plus rants "God DAMN AMERICA".

[GarbagemanLB]

25. I suggest you look up John Hagee, who McCain stood on stage with and accepted an endorsement from

[cali]

27. Actually, dearie, I was way ahead of the curve here.

I wrote a thread two months ago predicting that Wright would be a problem, but sorry, it's not going to be the problem you hope it will. And Obama is very, very good at dealing with this kind of shit. Furthermore, it's hyperbole to say that he practices hate against whites and Jews. But you get right down on bended knee and pray for it to destroy him, hillbot. It won't work, but it's all you pathetic bots have.

[styersc]

24. Obama cultists don't care but independents don'ty want to vote

for a man who is guided by a pastor who hates them personally. Obama will get the nomination and lose ot John McCain.

[cali]

30. oooh, the cultist canard.

What mindless little idiots forget is that there's a lot of ammunition to use against McCain. Oh, and it's ridiclous for people to claim they know what independents will do 8 months from now. You really shouldn't take your 8 ball seriously.

[knixphan]

31. McCAin....

...who's guided by...

Dick Cheney?

Karl Rove?

a female Cylon?
