Anti-Obama, Pro-McCain Hillary supporter Cynthia Russo on Fox News

[Colobo]

This woman, who represents the Democratic Women whatever the rest of the name of the group is, the group that is threatening to boycott Barack if he's the nominee, was just interviewed by Sheperd Smith on Fox. She was asked directly by Shepered to give ONE example in which the Democratic Party had been sexist against Hillary, and the only thing the jerk could come up with was MSNBC saying sexist things about Hillary. Sheperd asked again about the Democratic Party, and asked her about racism against Obama in the campaign, and the only thing the dimwit could say is that "Hillary had been subject to sexism" and that if Obama won the nomination they would campaign against him and vote for McCain. Obviously, this idiot was angry because the math is against her candidate at this point and, she doesn't seem to be a true Democrat.

The only thing I can say about that dumbass Cynthia Russo and whoever happens to agree with her over here and anywhere is that you are either in denial, bitter because of the results or the process, or simply a McCain operative. You will NOT derail the Democratic Party. You do NOT represent neither Hillary nor any true Democrat in this country. You are a shame to your suppossed candidate and to what our party stands for.

Now, flame away and FCUK JOHN MCCAIN!

1. We're better off without people who think that way

Really. They are not 17M, no matter what they claim, Democrats who will vote McCain over Obama. They are more like George W. Bush's dead enders. Who needs them?

[newmajority]

2. The "yes we WILL vote for McCain goddamn it !!!!1!!!!!!111!!!" meme

seems to be todays talking point at Hillbot Central Command. Guess they got tired of spinning the "Caucuses really suck" thing.

[anonymous171]

3. Fuck her. Obamacans will more than make up for the pot bangers.

[ej510]

4. Race is obviously the answer.

[Colobo]

7. Probably a bunch of racists or DINOs...

[BlooInBloo]

5. Clinton supporters luvs them some Faux News.

[Texas Hill Country]

29. well, MSNBC has been on Obama's nuts for the last year....

[dana_b]

6. people like this are detriment not just to the dems

but Hillary herself. They are not doing their candidate any favors.

[yourguide]

8. Exactly, as I stated earlier...

The Hillary supporters are screaming sexism at Obama when it's the media who showed sexism.

So somehow Obama is getting the blame.

[Colobo]

9. It's a lame claim.

[WeDidIt]

10. They're bitter

That's all there is to say about it.

Either that or they were always anti-choice anti-feminist Republicans.

[Colobo]

16. I agree.

[OHdem10]

11. No matter how it makes us feel, these are STATE Democratic

Activists who believe Hillary has been treated unfairly and
has all but pushed out of the Campaign.

They are organizing boycotts against MSNBC and NBC because
of their apparent Mission to put Obama in WH and their
attacks on Clinton.

I warned and warned that we needed to be careful.

Women feel the Party has dissed them and they are fighting
back. These groups have stated that most of them will vote
McCain since the party has decided they do not want or care
about their votes.

Hillary's supporters are just as passionnate about her as Obama's.

Never take people for granted. The groups are growing larger
in every state. They believe HRC is the better and stronger
candidate and she has been wronged by the party. They believe
Women have been dissed by the party. These are people who are
ward leaders, worked for years for the party.

[sfaprog]

13. They believe wrongly, can't name a single instance, and if they'll vote for McCain they can fuck off

straight to Coat-Hanger Alley



:dem:

[Colobo]

17. Hillary has lost the process! Can't they understand it?

[anigbrowl]

20. But are they really Democrats, or just opportunists?

If they were saying they'd sit out the election, or even cast some sort of a protest vote like a write-in, that would be one thing. But saying they're going to vote for McCain is outright blackmail. Can anyone name one thing that the Republicans have done to show leadership on women's issues?

If this shit keeps up, McCain might end up picking Condi Rice as VP.

[damntexdem]

21. When I signed a form to run as a delegate to the Dem National Convention, ...

I agreed to the required stipulation to support the Dem candidate, no matter who it was. I had no problem doing that. Presumably Hillary delegate wannabes did likewise. I hope that all will keep to their commitments.

As to so-called Dem activists who say they will vote for McCain if the 'wrong' candidate is chosen by the Dems, I know what they are: lamebrained, worthless idiots. Nothing can excuse such stupidity, no matter what the experience was. That the idiot interviewed on Faux News could not come up with an instance of sexism in or by the Dem Party just further illustrates this. She claims "Dem sexism" but can't note any instance in the Party, only in a media organization. What's worse, there likely have been instances of sexism (as in any large grouping), but this lamebrain cannot name one.

Well, Obama will just have to win the presidency without the one constituency he simply cannot draw: the stupidity vote.

[TheDonkey]

23. She can fuck off

if she'd rather dump all democratic values because MSNBC was mean to Hillary.

[onehandle]

12. Fox mostly only lets the outrageous minority on to make us look like fools.

You definitely found a case in point here.

[anonymous171]

15. Yep. They are trying to create division. We musn't let them.

[CakeGrrl]

14. I've asked several times for an example of Hillary being attacked or victimized

And I've never received a response or seen anyone come up with anything on their own.

If these voters truly believe that they and their families and friends are better served by a McCain presidency, let them go.

All these arguments about needing Hillary supporters seem to imply that we're going to get all or nothing support from those who voted for Hillary.

Some will never vote a ticket with Obama on it if they were the racists who stuck with the white candidate.

Some will vote anti-Obama to spite him and the Democratic party because Hillary lost.

But some will reasonably vote the Dem ticket understanding that Obama is winning this nomination fairly and without dirty tricks or fearmongering. He has simply run the better, more effective race.

And we also need to remember that voter turnout is a powerful resource that has plenty to tap. If voters are made to realize there's enough at stake - for example, how many of these young voters are approching draft age when we exhaust our military resources to keep fighting these wars? - that turnout can offset whatever losses are incurred owing to flat-out racism, or misinformed ignorance, or spite.

18. Is this possibly Cynthia Ruccia (from Columbus Ohio)?

Clinton backer backlash


My colleague Beth Frerking reports on something we're likely to hear a lot more about in coming days: Grumblings from the almost-half of the party, disproportionately women, whose candidate is losing.

An Ohio-based group of Democratic Hillary Clinton supporters say they’ll work actively against Sen. Barack Obama if he becomes the nominee, arguing that Clinton has been the subject of “intense sexism” by party leaders and the media.

Led by Boomer-aged women, the group, Clinton Supporters Count Too, is holding a press conference in Columbus at noon to release this statement.

Organizers Cynthia Ruccia, 55, and Jamie Dixey, 57, both from the Columbus area, say they’re coordinating women, men, minorities, union members and others in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and Michigan – all important swing states next November – to impress upon Democratic party leaders what they think has been outright discrimination – and not of the racial kind.

-snip
Hard to know what to make of any given group, but the sentiment is clealry out there, and putting the party back together will be Obama's, and Clinton's, challenge.

Oh, and they're doing O'Reilly tonight, of course.

Obama, Clinton supporters to campaign in Columbus



Associated Press - May 14, 2008 6:15 PM ET

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A labor union endorsing presidential candidate Barack Obama brought a national campaign to Columbus today addressing the need for comprehensive health care changes.

The Road to American Health Care, sponsored by the Service Employees International Union, planned a Statehouse rally featuring Ohioans struggling with health care costs.

Separately, a group supporting Obama's opponent in the Democratic primary, Hillary Clinton, said they will protest outside Ohio Democratic Party headquarters in Columbus tomorrow.

The group calls itself "Clinton Supporters Count Too" and promises to highlight what it says is unfavorable treatment of Clinton by the party. The group says it will campaign against Obama in the swing states of Florida, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania if he wins over Clinton.

22. Might be.

[BeyondGeography]

19. White women have it so rough

I mean, think about it, when's the last time you ever worked alongside a white woman who was making good money? A white female boss? They're always going to the worst schools, coming out of broken homes and, too often, winding up in prison.

All I see out in the working world is black guys, well paid black guys and male black bosses. Where, oh where are the white women?

[roseBudd]

25. You forgot to mention the white women who marry well & end up being worth 109 million

[barack the house]

24. That's the size of it those that are a Democrat should really respect a democratic decision.

[tnlefty]

26. Was it possibly 'Clinton Supporters Count Too'? They have

threatened to actually campaign against Obama should he be the nominee, which seems more than likely at this point, and has for a while.

If it's someone from the Federation of Democratic Women, then I'll have a local resignation to make. I'll try to find out who she ia affiliated with, but Democratic Women who refuse to support the nominee are making me VERY angry.

[Colobo]

27. Please find out the name for us, please.

[tnlefty]

28. I think that mod mom found it in post #18, different last name.

That woman is with Clinton Supporters Count Too.

Under the name Russo, I found a nurse, someone listed with Forbes, someone who had power of attorney, a listing with Microsoft...but nothing political. :shrug:

[madrchsod]

30. jesus fox news calling her shit?

dam that`s bad....
