Hillary: "He should take his campaign out of the gutter"

[ericgtr]

Is she not capable of campaigning on a positive note, ever? This is the sort of shit she spews every time her mouth opens. She has absolutely nothing nice to say about anyone or anything. She's cold, bitter and overall just has an angry demeanor about her all the time. It pains this poor woman to even smile, you can see it. She is going to go down in this thing kicking and screaming the whole way with no way to salvage any sort of credible political career.

Go ahead and flame away but it's this exact type of thing that has her negatives twice as high as Obama's and her poll numbers at an all time low.

1. Yawn

4. I agree, hillly's nasty little cliche ridden campaign is getting

to be a bore.

[azmouse]

14. OMG! Wait til the Reps 527s get hold of that.

There's no telling how much more there is of this shit. It'll sink her.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

2. There's no room for him down there next to her.

[DemGa]

3. More yawns --- NT

6. It was a joke - get over it.

[Danger Mouse]

9. BWAHAHAHA oh it's so funny.

Happy April Fools Day sourpuss.

[Danger Mouse]

23. ah, so it was a joke.

knee jerk reaction, i apologize.

[thereismore]

16. Are you sure your name wasn't supposed to be piranha? Gutter spelling. nt

[totodeinhere]

35. Yea, I heard the whole piece on the radio and it was quite funny.

Hillary's joke writer did a good job. Perhaps he or she should audition for Jay Leno.

[WillTheGoober]

50. You guys are just terrible ...

You would think Hillary was an uneducated, evil person the way you guys talk.

Maybe someone did write it for her -- but assuming so is just ... condescending.

It's interesting that the campaign of hope is so ... mean spirited and ugly.

W.

[Crazy Dave]

7. She really wanted to say "ghetto"

But figured we'd all get it :rofl:

[WillTheGoober]

51. Unnecessary and unfortunate ...

...

[sabra]

8. It was an April Fools joke....

[meow mix]

13. it was at least shrouded as a joke. the comments were pretty obvious.

and right after this she said "let the pins be counted"

and this was also a "joke"?

[C_U_L8R]

10. Take that sink and...

harumph...

sink

[polichick]

11. You're right - she used today as an opportunity to roll around in the gutter...

...and get away with it ~ or at least try to.

She doesn't fool anyone!

[rodeodance]

25. You look foolish --when you can not take a joke on April fools day:

"This has been a very hard fought race," she said. "We clearly need to do something so that our party and our people can make the right decision. So, I have a proposal."

"Today, I am challenging Senator Obama to a bowl-off," Clinton said, provoking relieved laughs from the assembled scribes.

Clinton carried on, making reference to Obama's disastrous outing at a Pennsylvania bowling alley Saturday.

"A bowling night. Right here in Pennsylvania. The winner take all," she went on. "I'll even spot him two frames."





"It is time for his campaign to get out of the gutter and allow all the pins to be counted. I'm prepared to play this game all the way to the tenth frame. When this game is over, the American people will know that when that phone rings at 3 a.m., they'll have a president ready to bowl on day one."

"Let's strike a deal and go bowling for delegates. We don't have a moment to spare, because it's already April Fool's Day. Happy April Fool's Day."

[polichick]

42. LOL - what a way to prove my point! WAH, WAH, WAH

[krkaufman]

60. As always with Hillary, she cannot help herself ...

... and must be too cute and slip in some of her campaign lies and negativity:

"It is time for his campaign to get out of the gutter and allow all the pins to be counted.

Her statement might have been funny, if she hadn't tried to slip-in a political shot.

[ronnykmarshall]

31. Jesus Christ!

:eyes:

[polichick]

32. Duh - why do you think she mentioned "counting ALL the pins?

Gosh, you people are easily fooled!

[ronnykmarshall]

33. I love being called *you people*.

UNITY!

34. I guess you need to change the subject. Big surprise!

[ronnykmarshall]

36. Oh cry me a fucking river!

[polichick]

39. Oops, yet another change of subject.

[DemVet]

15. Double Yawn...goes to sleep...wakes up....farts.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

17. Same old Hillary. When is she going to get a grip?

[rodeodance]

29. When are you going to get a sense of humor?---it is APRIL 1. See this:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

18. Is she doing her Rocky impersonation? He spoke gutteral, too.

[KAZ]

19. Geez, I just took it as a joke. A little campy, but still amusing.

Maybe I'm just in a good mood today. No wait. I'm never in a good mood.

[WillTheGoober]

53. I'm glad to see ...

... one Obama supporter with a sense of humor.

This has really gotten nasty.

There is a distorted view of reality here.
Hillary Clinton is an established, well educated, and highly successful woman in America.
She doesn't deserve this kind of treatment. It's uncalled for and disrespectful.

I'm not sure where all the rage is coming from; but it's getting to the point where it's blocking any kind of rational thought.

The OP actually missed a joke here -- and others just followed right along.
That's frighteningly scary.

W.

[DrFunkenstein]

20. Yeah, The Gutter Where He Used to Deal Crack (I'm Just Sayin')

Did I mention that he "mugged" Bill Clinton?

He's black, you know. He's not a Muslim terrorist, as far as I know, but I wouldn't want to make a phone call at 3 a.m. and some black guy answers the phone, being all, "I pity the poor fool."

[kwenu]

21. She can't help it. She's in debt up to her ears and very bitter.

[cbayer]

22. It was a joke.

Did any of you see this in context? She was challenging him to a bowling tournament - winner take all. Said she would even spot him two frames.

It was actually pretty funny. Can't y'all even let her be funny? I betcha Obama laughed, I just betcha.

[rodeodance]

24. here--It was joke---NPR just talked about it also: with a laugh

[sudopod]

26. It's April 1st.

I lol'd. :p

[Beacool]

27. Take an aspirin a nap

and try to grow up!!!!

It was a JOKE, ever heard one? It's April's Fool day and she was making a joke!!!!!!

What a cesspool this board has become!!!!!!!

:crazy:

[Vinca]

28. The joke stunk. No one in the crowd laughed. nt

[polichick]

38. They saw through her when she mentioned the gutter and counting all the pins.

[WillTheGoober]

54. ummm

Bowling pins.

[polichick]

55. Forget ummm, DUH is more like it if you didn't catch the drift.

[WillTheGoober]

56. lol ...

You're taking this way too far.

If Hillary said anything, you'd be jumping to say something about it.

Calm down; support your candidate.

W.

[polichick]

57. I'm very calm - just not stupid...

I've also paid Hillary many compliments here, but the "joke" turned into a thinly veiled attack once she mentioned the gutter and the count (which is why the audience reacted the way they did).

[ecstatic]

37. Projecting again... Obama has remained on the high road

and that's why he continues to do well.

[PatGund]

41. Self delete

[TwilightGardener]

43. Oh, come on. Really. Not a big deal.

[futureliveshere]

44. Disgusting.. But you got a link?

[Catherina]

45. Nope. She has nothing positive to campaign on.

When your campaign revolves around your marriage certificate and womanism, cheap gutter shots and lies are your only hope. In Hillary's case it's hopeless and I wish she'd stop it instead of embarrassing women and making it all that much harder for the next woman who runs.

[eleny]

46. Because she owns the gutter?

[Orsino]

47. An obvious joke on his less-than-stellar bowling footage, right?

Pretty funny, if not exactly an April Fool's sort of joke.

[susankh4]

48. But his bowling ball WAS in the gutter!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :patriot:

[WillTheGoober]

49. lol ...

I hope, for all of our sake, that Obama is not as sensitive as his supporters.

I thought it was funny.

W.

[madrchsod]

52. she`s funny

[DemBones DemBones]

58. She was talking about BOWLING, and footage showed BO putting his ball in the gutter.

She "challenged" him to a "bowl-off" in PA, and ended by saying "There's not a minute to spare
because it's April Fools Day."

You obamamaniacs freak out over weird stuff.

[krkaufman]

59. Agreed. Even when supposedly having fun ...

... she can't keep herself from lying, distorting reality and playing dirty politics.

I was similarly offended by her other implication... "time for his campaign to ... allow all the pins to be counted." I look forward to her eventual downfall. The Democratic Party and progressive cause will be far better off once the Clintons are put behind us.

[anonymous171]

61. Projection. Hopefully the media won't take the bait.

[intaglio]

62. It's todays Hillarity talking point

All of them will be going on about "swiftboating", or saying Obama attacked first.

Same-old same-old

[MyNameGoesHere]

63. I saw that and she was attempting humor

with a bowling analogy. Please say 100 hail Obama's and repent ok?

[LisaM]

64. So you object to bowling terminology for a bowling joke?

And people say that Hillary's base is ignorant?


:rofl:


Actually, I think that some Obama supporters have lost their perspective and completely lost their sense of humor.
