As an Obama supporter I must admit that Hillary was pretty good against O'Reilly
Edited on Thu May-01-08 01:31 AM by Cali_Democrat
The first question Bill asked in the interview was about Wright :mad:

After some initial grandstanding, Hillary finally said that it's not what voters are talking about, they wanna talk about real issues. Good for her. Finally Hillary does the right thing and said Obama has already denounced Wright.

After that it was a non-stop O'Reilly attacks on democratic viewpoints and Hillary actually defended us. I would like to applaud her. O'Reilly was an obnoxious prick that constantly interrupted her when she was talking about taxes, health care and the economy. I fucking hate that guy.

Apparently there is another interview with O'Reilly that will be shown tomorrow. If she attacks Obama, I will call her out. But I wasn't disappointed with her at all today.

There I said it.

2. "Good attack dog" "Doesn't know when to quit" etc. etc. (as we've heard often from O-people)
Isn't that the kind of nominee we want? The kind that wins?

4. They both have good qualities.

But her style (constant offense) becomes really tiresome and demoralizing after a while. That's why she couldn't get her HC legislation past Congress. Instead of compromising, she tried to force it through by destroying everyone in her way. You know the rest...

8. Obama can't attack Hillary like that and she knows it...
Edited on Thu May-01-08 02:08 AM by Cali_Democrat
She's just taking advantage IMO. Obama would be viewed as the "angry black man" attacking the white female victim if he attacks Hillary like crazy. Obama CAN attack McCain like that, but he can't do that to Hillary.

That's why Hillary should drop out. She's only hurting Dems. Maybe she should try for Senate majority leader or something, but she needs to drop out for the good of the democratic party IMO.

3. I don't know...
She didn't seem to attack Obama that much even though O-Reilly was egging her on.

5. I meant against republicans.
That's why they hate her so much.

6. I guess....
Edited on Thu May-01-08 01:30 AM by Cali_Democrat
Too bad she reserved it for Obama instead of going all out against McCain

9. There, now that didn't kill you, did it?
:D

Actually, she WAS very good, but it wasn't very difficult. O'Reilly only spouts simplistic ideas from "Conservativism for Dummies", which are easily countered.

11. Yes, she was good
However, it's not over yet. I wonder what we'll see tomorrow. Hopefully she rips O'Reilly's balls off. I just hope Obama's name won't come up. But somehow I doubt it.

When Obama's name comes up, I hope she deflects and talks about the real issues. We shall see.

If she attacks Obama I will call her out :evilgrin:


...to be continued...

13. Well, she initially tried to wave off that Wright question--three times.
She started out saying "That's for the voters to decide, not me." She finally answered it by repeating what she already said, just to get old Dildo off that dime. She didn't "grandstand."

She wiped the floor with Dildo, but PLEASANTLY. She didn't lose her cool. It was an A+ performance.

It was all one interview--he's just stretching it out for ratings.
