Filed in National by on February 19, 2008

I loved the way MSNBC turned down Clinton’s mic and turned up Obama’s. I just loved it.

    CNN online did the same thing — just switched over.

  2. jason330 says:

    Oh.. I love the new masthead quote.

  3. nemski says:

    when r u guys switching the photo on the comments section

  4. donviti says:

    SHIT! missed the boat again

  5. Rebecca says:

    Ordinary people can do extraordinary things.

  6. donviti says:

    he’s back to his old speech I think…

    sort of mixing it up though, no?

  7. cassandra m says:

    Oh no, he just said “Straight Talk” — more plagiarism accusations coming tomorrow!

  8. Rebecca says:

    Yup, he’s using some of the boiler plate but I love to hear it.

  9. nemski says:

    yeah i think so

    he is all about personal responsibility, that’s a republican thing i think

  10. donviti says:

    nemski,

    you use that tissue yet?

  11. Von Cracker says:

    Good Ghandi line, j, and true too.

    Funny though, I’ve seen that as a sig for a few wingnutters out there…..victims of the people keeping The Man down. 😉

  12. donviti says:

    look at the mix of people in the crowd…

  13. liberalgeek says:

    Yes, Democrats aren’t responsible… I heard Rush say it.

  14. Von Cracker says:

    Can’t believe he plagiarized ‘Si Se Puede’?!?

    😉

  15. nemski says:

    okay, who’s got a chubby?

  16. donviti says:

    I just heard him use THE and he didn’t credit anyone for it!

  17. liberalgeek says:

    I saw that somewhere recently. It is used a lot in the Open-source community to describe the M$ treatment of Linux and the like.

    I read Dave Burris’ post earlier and saw fear. I was reminded of the Ghandi quote and posted it.

  18. donviti says:

    crickets on that one daveski

  19. donviti says:

    he’s going centrist on me…but…he just realled it back in.

    anyone hearing those guys coming over the mike?

  20. nemski says:

    crickets on that one daveski

    lol

  21. donviti says:

    ok, he is giving specific income numbers. isn’t that a better way to get votes without targeting specific races?

    I’m guessing they have the numbers on who those numbers reach right

  22. liberalgeek says:

    I heard the voices on CNN. Open Mic. I wish I heard it better… I am certain that I heard the word “Jews.” I wish I was kidding.

  23. nemski says:

    once again, obama is outpacing the republicans in total votes

  24. cassandra m says:

    Fear, indeed — in fact, you can see here the beginning of a new smear — this one invoking not just the race card, but commies too!

    Fun…

  25. Joe M says:

    I can’t help but notice that Obama is the only one again whose whole speech is televised.

    I’m not complaining, I’m just noticing.

  26. nemski says:

    lg, he was saying “did you” which sounds like “jew” — an old woody allen joke

  27. donviti says:

    I’m telling u all right now, If I get burned by this guy when he becomes president, I’m going to be a pissed mother fucker for falling for his kool aid.

    I buy what he is selling man…but I still have to remember that he is a politician

  28. Rebecca says:

    Early childhood education is the silver bullet! Go Barack!

  29. donviti says:

    LG,

    I have tivo, I’m going to rewind

  30. Joe M says:

    I agree, don. I do hope he’s for real.

  31. liberalgeek says:

    Nemski. That could very well be… It was hard to discern anything.

  32. jason330 says:

    Oh the fear is spreading over on the wingnut multitude like the flu.

  33. donviti says:

    LG, what time was it at?

  34. liberalgeek says:

    I’m thinking back to McCain’s speech 30 mins ago… Obama is going to kick his ass.

  35. Rebecca says:

    It’s the CCC, sorta. The New New Deal.

  36. jason330 says:

    DV –

    I felt burned by Bill’s first term. I’m an optimist about Obama – but what else would I be as an Obama supporter?

  37. nemski says:

    seriously, what the fuck, why is he making sense? all I want is flowery words, not specifics

  38. donviti says:

    got it…around 9:59

  39. liberalgeek says:

    DV, just before 10

  40. liberalgeek says:

    what’s the verdict on the open mic?

  41. Joe M says:

    He’s just widening the gap.

  42. donviti says:

    lg, didn’t hear anything like that. sounded like it was 2 men talking about a trip. I thought I heard someone say 8 hours or something to that effect

  43. liberalgeek says:

    Wait, I thought that Democrats didn’t support the troops…

  44. nemski says:

    3/4 OH, RI, TX, VT

    Umm . . . four wins for Obama.

  45. donviti says:

    I saved it on the record button and will go back to it when he is done..

  46. nemski says:

    i need some bumper stickers, anyone got any extras?

  47. jason330 says:

    3 wins. OH is going to be tough.

  48. donviti says:

    oh shit, he is doing what I feel they should always do, take the arrows out of the quill before the REP’s can use them.

    he really does have good people

  49. donviti says:

    get ribbons daveski, they show your patriotism and that you support the troops and the war!

  50. jason330 says:

    Maybe Obama should flub a speech to take the “he is a great speaker” card away from CLinton.

  51. nemski says:

    jason, who would have though he even had a chance in Texas? White union men will vote for a black man before voting for a woman.

  52. donviti says:

    ok, back to my point earlier. He sounds like a guy that is saying all the right things to everyone…

    damn man…I’m not getting sucked in! I’m going to do my best to be a Dave Burris and take all he says out of Context!

  53. Rebecca says:

    I love the “boil all the hope out of him” line. Whoo Hoo!

  54. liberalgeek says:

    Nemski – I’m not sure that is right. They will vote for a black man before they will vote for that woman.

  55. donviti says:

    ok, dude on the cell phone in the background needs to get off the fucking thing…GHETTO

  56. nemski says:

    lg, ur probably right on that one

  57. liberalgeek says:

    Tie that bitch to Bush!

  58. jason330 says:

    Nemski – He has been behind everywhere until he campaigns there. So he could close it out.

  59. liberalgeek says:

    and by bitch, I mean McCain.

  60. nemski says:

    who is for anti-hope other than Dave Burris?

  61. liberalgeek says:

    If only Obama was born in Hope, HI…

  62. donviti says:

    I think it’s more general than that lg, I think it is any woman. look at the women in politics. Is hillary any different then Boxer or Pelosi?

  63. nemski says:

    what time did he come on?

  64. liberalgeek says:

    Burris is only for anti-hope when you take him out of context.

  65. cassandra m says:

    I could not decide in this race for the longest time, but what I really like about watching Obama run his campaign is that he just hunkered down and worked at it. Even with all of the “inevitability”, he worked what he needed to and really has been pulling together a real governing coalition — not just a 50 1 coalition. He won’t be able to deliver on everything he says, but if his campaign is any indication, he will work damn hard at real governing and trying to do something.

    And after the last 7 years, that just might be more than enough.

  66. donviti says:

    13 points in Wi…

  67. Joe M says:

    “The status quo serves many powerful people”

    very subtle!

  68. nemski says:

    well said cass

  69. liberalgeek says:

    Yeah, but you could have done the same thing with a “black candidate” until Obama. Obama isn’t running as a black man. Hillary IS running as a woman.

  70. donviti says:

    cas, i think it goes back to him having the right people. His organization is first class.

  71. nemski says:

    boy, chris matthews is probably pretty pissed right now that he is not on tv

  72. donviti says:

    LG, I think she started running as a woman, but then she changed over time and started running as the experienced candidate

  73. cassandra m says:

    His organization is first class — which is a reflection of the man setting the direction. These guys have not gotten caught up in the trivial BS that the Clinton’s seem to find so precious…..

  74. donviti says:

    they are showing his entire speech. He has some new stuff in here man. the guy is good.

    ok jason, so tell me how is he different from Bill..

  75. liberalgeek says:

    No, she is still running as a woman/mother/wife. She plays the card regularly.

  76. donviti says:

    fair enough cas

  77. donviti says:

    here comes the wrap up

  78. liberalgeek says:

    Cass, you are right. And they have some great firefighters.

  79. donviti says:

    good points too Lg. I guess that is what is killing her too. To chameleon like maybe…

  80. nemski says:

    A-, due to length. I only asked for a 500-word essay.

  81. jason330 says:

    It is the 50 state strategy. Trying to win over every voter. Not just every Democratic or every swing state voter.

  82. jason330 says:

    A touch long.

  83. donviti says:

    I thought you were going to rate it on a tissue count basis…

    I think 4 tissues.

    OHHHHH talking about Obama jumping on her. Maybe if she fucking congratulated him he wouldn’t have jumped her shit.

  84. liberalgeek says:

    55% That’s BIG!

  85. nemski says:

    clinton’s press secretary has a life jacket on.

  86. donviti says:

    Lisa Caputo = Rachel Maddows with better hair and accesories

  87. liberalgeek says:

    I love that Huck is getting 38%.

  88. jason330 says:

    Cheers everyone. 3/4 it is wrapped up.

    ‘night all.

  89. cassandra m says:

    So do you think that Hillary told her Ohio audience that Wisconsin did not matter?

  90. liberalgeek says:

    OOOOhhhh tech on CNN again.

    Obama is winning everywhere.

  91. donviti says:

    is that some sort of a black joke? like “aren’t you all related?”

  92. nemski says:

    62-36 white men for obama, holy shit

  93. Rebecca says:

    Night Jason, you throw a good party!

  94. donviti says:

    I hate this freaking monitor geek!

  95. cassandra m says:

    Good Night, Jason; Good Night Everybody! This was fun….

  96. liberalgeek says:

    Rebecca, as with all parties, it’s all about who shows up.

  97. liberalgeek says:

    Hate on the monitor all you want. I’m all over it.

  98. Joe M says:

    ‘Nite, Jason! ‘Nite, Cass!

  99. liberalgeek says:

    I’m gonna hit it. Thanks for coming out all. Joe, I expect realtime updates all night on Hawaii…

    🙂

  100. nemski says:

    Wow, Clinton is getting hit on not giving a concession speech. Fantastic.

  101. Joe M says:

    Dammit!

    ‘Nite, LG 🙂

  102. donviti says:

    what am I fucking chopped liver! screw you all.

    you will rue the day that DV leaves!!!!!!

  103. liberalgeek says:

    I’m already rueing the day…

  104. Joe M says:

    Oh, rub it in, Anderson!

  105. Joe M says:

    ugh, she is so snide!

    She is not earning that confidence…

  106. donviti says:

    I’m the fucking Ed McMahon of this site!

    YYYYYYES!

  107. Joe M says:

    You out, too, DV?

  108. donviti says:

    I’m hanging in there to bust on clinton

  109. Joe M says:

    Oh, rockin 🙂

  110. Joe M says:

    Her voice is like an icepick through my ears

  111. donviti says:

    she is so unauthentic.

    she got her ass kicked again, nothing. she hasn’t thanked him yet. she is so delusional. She is losing not only her voice but she is taking her husbands legacy down with her

  112. Joe M says:

    I notice the signs that say “We’ve got your back”

    Like her supporters know that she is now the underdog.

  113. nemski says:

    under 50K white 48-51 obama

  114. nemski says:

    63-37 on electability

  115. donviti says:

    I never liked her or him. I’ve been saying it for months.

    “we will bring home our troops” the ones you voted yes to send to war…

    whatever man….

  116. Joe M says:

    awful, just awful

  117. donviti says:

    the longer the campaign goes on the more done she is. It is a slow climb for Obama. His momentum is slowly grabbing her candidates.

    maybe it’s because he’s a man, or that they believe him.

    i think part of it is that the people vote for a winner thing

  118. Joe M says:

    I swear, CNN has a farm where they grow these cute women

  119. nemski says:

    joe scarborough: hillary is sounding like guiliani

  120. Joe M says:

    “i think part of it is that the people vote for a winner thing”

    agreed, but that can turn into a nice big snowball.

  121. donviti says:

    I’m just so leary of falling victim to the bullshit.

    Politicians at this level man are still politicians you know

  122. donviti says:

    just wait till CNN has Bagella talk. the guy is on Clinton’s pay roll and it is so freaking obvious. How CNN allows that is total bullshit.

    the women on CNN are older MILF’s though…

  123. nemski says:

    buchanan: at least they got the leisure crowd out from behind mcclain

  124. Joe M says:

    I can relate. It’s what keeps me from taking a party line. Maybe again my better judgement, however, I think Obama is genuine in his thirst for change

  125. donviti says:

    Joe is an idiot too though. former Fl R no?

  126. donviti says:

    I like this guy Gene from Wapo. He is pretty good. needs to talk over Pat though…

  127. donviti says:

    an SRO crowd? what is that?

  128. nemski says:

    From the AP

    Barack Obama cruised past a fading Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Wisconsin primary Tuesday night, gaining the upper hand in a Democratic presidential race for the ages. It was Obama’s ninth straight victory over the past three weeks, and left the former first lady in desperate need of a comeback in a race she long commanded as front-runner.

    h/t to Olbermann

  129. nemski says:

    Standing Room Only

  130. Joe M says:

    Give us a scandal, Hilary! Burn out, don’t fade away!

  131. nemski says:

    oh yeah, Erectile Dysfunction

  132. nemski says:

    so how pissed is hillary tonight?

  133. Joe M says:

    or, for Clinton, Electile Disfunction

  134. Joe M says:

    “so how pissed is hillary tonight?”

    Let’s just say I wouldn’t want to be her gimp tonight.

  135. nemski says:

    congresswoman jones is OUT OF TOUCH

  136. nemski says:

    matthews is an ass

  137. nemski says:

    i’m done watching matthews shit . . . night all

  138. donviti says:

    ok, so matthews is trying to appear unbiased because….

  139. Joe M says:

    nite, nemski!

    I’ll be listening to the bands on your blog tomorrow 🙂

  140. donviti says:

    DAMN olberman smacked the shit out of Matthews!!!!

  141. Joe M says:

    sweet! matthews is an ass

  142. donviti says:

    Oh that was sweet. Look for that on Crooks and liars my friends. Olberman handed tweety his ass!

  143. Joe M says:

    Olberman comes out with some good ones. I liked his “don’t speak after Obama” crack last week
