Official Hilary hatred thread - the shrew just gave $2.5-3.5 million....

[BlooInBloo]

... to help elect other Democrats.

From Hotline, via Kos:

"Sen. Hillary Clinton transferred $2.1 million from her Senate re-election account to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee on 10/5. She also gave $250K to the DCCC and $150K to the New York State Democratic Party. (Hotline sources)"

God I can't stand Hilary! All she does is trangulate! Such a schemer! Can't trust her! She'll do anything for power! So kniving!

Not just this post, but many others today.

[BlooInBloo]

9. lol - just tryin to fit in, both syntax & semantics-wise....

[Red Right and BLUE]

20. Sorry, I'm not normally a grammar/spelling nazi, but

"kniving" that made me LOL

[EST]

17. Wha sarong?

Don't you know one has to be able to knive in order to trangulate?
Cud b verse, I spose.

[Swamp Rat]

21. What about the grammar in your post title?

"Man, what is is with spelling these days on DU?"

[Red Right and BLUE]

24. Argh, see reply #4

[Swamp Rat]

27. Just rubbing it in.

23. perhaps it's a deliberate attempt

to make us laugh....god knows I sure did...and I can't express how much I appreciated the laugh...(after reading about earthquakes under Rainier AND Helens)

5. What's a schemer?

Is that like a Schumer?

:shrug:

[NNN0LHI]

6. God I hate that woman

}(

[longship]

7. Nobody here hates Hillary.

Some people, including me, disagree with her Iraq position.

Some people, including me, think she should stay in the Senate and not run for the Presidency.

But, I do not hate her. I really like her. She's one helluva good Senator.

If she ever gets the presidential nomination I will whole-heartedly support her.

I think many people who you would mislabel as "Hilary <sic> haters" would agree.

[walldude]

11. Hehe... beat me to it...

[BlooInBloo]

15. LOL! "nobody here hates Hilary" ROFLMAO!!!

And duh, of course no haters would label *themselves* as haters. Thanks for pointing that out, Captain Obvious.

[longship]

32. You wouldn't be trying to set up an artificial dichotomy

Would you?

Is it kind of like one of those, "You're with us or with the terrorists" kind of deal? Either you have to accept Hillary and all her positions, or else you are a Hillary-hater?

I don't think I could ever come up with anything that is as screwed up. Sounds outright Rovian to me.

I do not hate Hillary. I like her, but I do not support all her positions.
Simple, isn't it?

[BlooInBloo]

41. Very simple - it's the implication that what's true of you...

... is true of all that's asinine.

Without that implication, what's the point of your personal anecdote?

Sure, I'm Rovian - lol! Rock on!

Just make up your mind - do you want to talk about everyone (your initial choice), or do you just want to talk about you personally (your second choice). Let me know when you decide.

[walldude]

8. Terrific.. now as soon as she comes out against the Iraq

war, I'll be glad to vote for her... Just because I disagree with some of her positions doesn't mean I hate her. Nice straw man though...

[Botany]

10. She even has friends that are Lesbians too ..... ohhhhhhh

BTW I still don't want her to run for President.

[Hav]

12. .

Hm that's great. There are many Dems who barely have anything and there are some in save races sitting on their 10+ millions.

[mmonk]

13. I must have missed something. The point of this thread is?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

30. Thanks for the Stephanie pic! I always wondered

how she looked. Very pretty.

[Nimrod2005]

18. Bill Nelson in Florida has $12 million in the bank, not a dime has

been transferred to anyone...There are congressional seats and a governorship the Dems. can win in Florida, but the asshole is just sitting on the cash!!!

Hillary is da man....So to speak.

[nickinSTL]

90. would anyone expect anything else of Nelson?

My mom lives in Florida...and can't bring herself to vote for Nelson. She'll be voting for a progressive independent.

I don't really think that what's best for the Dems is #1 on Nelson's priority list.

22. Competes with Dean, but does not compare with $10 mill Kerry distributed

[xultar]

31. Buhwawawa. She didn't run for Presidentand not spend her money.

Kerry did.

He gave 10 mil because he didn't use it like he effin shoulda.

[wisteria]

48. Prove to me the use of this money would have effected the outcome.

Seems to me, I remember him following proper campaign guidelines for the use of the money. Seems to me, he used it wisely.

[Sensitivity]

57. MaryBeth budgeted too cautiously -- Kerry admits should have hit-back

at swiftliars with an expensive, yet risky summer campaign.

MaryBeth argued not to "waste the money" on negative issue.

[wisteria]

66. I'll take you word for it, I trust your facts

Hind-site is a kick in the rear.

[wisteria]

35. Thanks for calling attention to Kerry's donations, done without

notification to Daily Kos.

[cboy4]

25. BEEP (sound of microwave oven)

:popcorn:

[spoony]

69. Ever tried parmesan sprinkled on?

:popcorn: The butter keeps it on the popcorn, otherwise it'll just sift to the bottom of the bowl

:9

[cboy4]

71. Do I ever!!!

[spoony]

74. ROFL!

:yourock: especially if you grate your own, lol.

[wisteria]

29. Who ever passes this information along makes her whole effort seem

like a political move.I am happy to she gave the amounts she did. I am sure she gave this money, not expecting anything in return. However, other Democrats have been contributing to both funds for some time now, and you don't see them doing press releases announcing their donations.

[BlooInBloo]

33. Who, besides *you*, is saying she did a press release?

I so no implication of such in the base article. Kindly show it to me? Thanks!

Or are you just making shit up?

[wisteria]

46. Most of this info was released as part of an article appearing in the

NY Times. In the piece, Senator Clinton's spokesperson mentions the gifts.
While not a press release, it is obvious an effort was made to make these contributions known to the public. So, I was not making sh*t up. I also do not like being attacked because I point out what is obvious.



. Clinton, who has been occasionally criticized by liberal bloggers for not using enough of her bulging campaign coffers to help her party, is shipping $1.5 million to two Democratic Congressional campaign committees based in Washington, as well as to the financially strained New York State Democratic Party, her advisers said.

Mrs. Clinton is giving $1.1 million to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which comes on top of the $1 million that she gave the committee last month. In addition, the senator is donating $250,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and $150,000 to the New York State Democratic Party.

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/07/nyregion/07hillary.html

[BlooInBloo]

47. You provided no link - The link I provided was not a press release...

... I asked - I fail to see what was unfair in my actions.

If you don't want the (obivous) question, then give the link at the *start* rather than at the *end*.

Thanks for the link, by the way!

I also like your "while not a press release.... So I was not making shit up." - ROFL! Never let facts get in the way, eh?

[wisteria]

53. The information was provided by her spokesperson. I am sure

if Senator Clinton didn't want the information known she would of instructed her spokesperson not to mention it.

What is wrong with promoting this information? It shows no class. You don't contribute or give gifts expecting them to benefit you in some way or another. She has done no more than other politicians. Why are her contributions news?

Oh, the link worked for me. It came from the NY Times. Perhaps, you need to start an account in order to access it. I can't help you there.

[Red Right and BLUE]

38. That's how I view most of her moves.

She's a far cry better than what we've got now (putting that REALLY mildly), but I hope others run. I would vote for her if she were the Dem candidate, but I'd prefer others.

[Lerkfish]

34. I don't hate hillary: I just think she's unelectable.

I can carry those two concepts simultaneously: there's a lot of room in my brain for that.

I can also carry a third: that I don't agree with many of her votes, to support the war in Iraq for one, and perpetuate the republican myth of "flagburnin" for another.

I can also carry a fourth: that I agree with some other things she's said or done.

However, I think she's unelectable because fairly or unfairly, she is a lightning rod for repub hatred, and it would be a sisyphean task to overcome that.

[AtomicKitten]

43. Effin corporatist, DLC-lovin', war-mongering, unelectable shrew

(I think I covered all the caustic epithets at DU)

Thanks for the dough! :)

[ProSense]

49. Isn't this the part where you're suppose to discourage baiting? n/t

[patcox2]

45. What about the other $22 million she is sitting on?

Its not that she's a conniving shrew, its that she's the very worst form of democrat alive, socially progressive to the point of lunacy, but economically conservative. The kind of democrat that makes the party a mockery, promoting baby gay whales and banning guns while exporting jobs overseas. She's a DLC democrat, pro-business, pro-life, pro-nafta. Never did a thing for the working people. Her health care plan was a privatized abortion which would have enriched the health insurance companies.

She's just a turd, is all.

[BlooInBloo]

50. ROFL! Until she gives it ALL, she SUCKS! More genius...

That's how I fell about all rich people who give charitably.

Oh wait - no it's not - i ONLY feel that way about Hilary.

lol!

[AtomicKitten]

56. there you go

:)

[patcox2]

70. Read the rest of the post, those are the real reasons.

The money, I am just suggesting that in light of her war chest its nothing to crow about, unlike Kerry's $10 million, for example.

Now what about her vote for the war, her pandering and flip-flopping on abortion, her being a founding member of the DLC, her selling out the working people of america but tricking deluded progressives into supporting her because she's got a black issue, she's got a gay issue, she's got an environmentalism issue, one from column A, one from B, until the rubes think your a progressive.

Lets have a sister souljah moment, Hil!

[nickinSTL]

91. "socially progressive to the point of lunacy"

:wtf:

Somehow, I expect she's less socially liberal than I am...which would make me...a lunatic? Care to elaborate? what about her positions is borderline lunacy?

[Rex]

51. Argh! Powerful woman dead ahead!

Dive dive dive! :rofl:

[wisteria]

58. I don't think the opinions of most of those who question Senator

Clinton's positions or actions are doing so because she is a woman. Good for her, she is a powerful woman. That doesn't influence my opinion of her at all.

[Rex]

62. Oh I do, I think the Good Ol Boys club is scared shitless of her.

She is a Dragon Lady and can tear any of them a new asshole, either end. I know HERE on DU, honest criticism is just that - honest.

I think this thread is geared towards making fun of our 'friends' in Freeperville. Mocking their fears over a powerful woman.

[Mojambo]

52. Dude. The 2008 primaries are going to rule so hard.

It's gonna be an effing bloodbath around here.

[mmonk]

54. Yeah

Eating our own like the republicans do.;)

[AtomicKitten]

55. yum

it's a sport

[wisteria]

61. I don't see anyone eating our own. I seem to be sensing people

expressing their legitimate opinions and thoughts. I see nothing wrong with that. Some people are just to thin skinned and can't even accept constructive opinions.

[mmonk]

65. Presidential primaries around here

are quite interesting. By the back and forth that goes on, you'll get the eating our own analogy. Actually, it gets pretty funny.

[Beelzebud]

59. She is funnelling money from GEORGE SOROS!!!!!!111

[mmonk]

63. or Rupert Murdoch

[leftchick]

72. try Rupert Murdoch

<snip>

Conservative media mogul Rupert Murdoch will host a fundraiser for liberal New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, the Financial Times reports.

The mating ritual of the unlikely allies has been under way for months. Clinton set political tongues to wagging last month by attending a Washington party celebrating the 10th anniversary of Fox News, the cable news channel owned by Murdoch.

[leftchick]

85. It always amazes me

no one ever has a good excuse for hil and rup's new friendship.

[Catherine Vincent]

60. Damn her!

:)

[mikelgb]

64. no DNC?

also read as Hillary transfers 2.1 Million from DLC to DLC

[Pastiche423]

86. My 1st thought

But I think I already know the answer to why not give to the DNC.

A DLCer always gives to other DLCers. They can't be giving anything to the DNC which represents We, the People!

I do not see this as a happy thing - at all.

[jsamuel]

67. We should criticize when wrongs are done and support the rights.

Thanks!

[nealmhughes]

68. Take the money and thanks. Now the purge is officially scheduled to begin

in December 2006...as soon as the House elections are over.

Nice knowin' ya, DLC, but the New Model Army is preparing for battle.

[calico1]

73. Hillary is SUCH a Freeper!

:silly:

[Mass]

76. Good for her.

Why should we criticize when she does something useful.

Actually NO democrat should be criticized to be doing something useful for democrats. That should be the golden rule.

[tkmorris]

78. Ugly, divisive, thread. We're better than this. nt

[BlooInBloo]

84. I guess I missed all of the "gasp! how divisive!" squeals...

... when people jump on her for IWR.

Oh, I get it - it's only divisive when you say something in *her favor*.

The greatest irony of all of this is: I'm not even a support of Mrs. Clinton for President - by which I mean in the primary, of course. There are 3, maybe 4 others I'd rather see win the primary (PLEASE RUN AL!!!).

I am, however, pro-fairness - it either applies in both directions, or neither.

[Virginia Dare]

79. Show me the money...

she held a fundraiser for my man Jim Webb last week too.

Hillary is the big money raker for the Democratic Party, like it or not.

:kick:

[NNN0LHI]

83. Yep, even if she never runs for president she will be worth her...

...weight in gold when fundraising for decades. I would even pay to go hear her.

Don

[Canuckistanian]

80. Did she give to the Feingold Progressive Patriots PAC?

That would get my respect.

Russ has put together a good one:
http://www.progressivepatriotsfund.com/

[MethuenProgressive]

81. What's she hiding?? Caught cyber sexing with a page??

That's why Foley gave so much to *his* Party Bigs!

[Warren DeMontague]

82. I don't hate her. I think she will be a real asset to the 08 Gore Campaign

And I look forward to having her continue in her job as Senator from New York.

[Renew Deal]

87. That's awesome.

Thanks

[IronLionZion]

88. I don't hate her,

I just want her to be Senator from NY for a very long time and not try to run for any other office in the near future. She's done a lot for the Empire State and my job was created because she encouraged my company to open up operations in Western NY and recruit from local colleges.

Oh wait, I actually don't agree with her on every issue so that obviously means I FUCKING HATE THAT CONNIVING SHREW AND MAY SHE ROT IN HELL FOR ALL ETERNITY!!! In case you missed it: :sarcasm:

[Lilith Velkor]

89. Made me look!
