America? Whatever.

Take the blinders off. Jeez.

about her being "centrist" and "right wing", and considering Barbra Streisand is VERY liberal, I'm surprised that people are criticizing Ms. Streisand's endorsement. And Ms. Streisand, period.

They also slammed Rep Lewis, a genuine american hero from the civil rights movement, when he endorsed Hillary.

They have no shame

She reinforces the "out of touch' image that is foisted on Dem's.Most candidates wouldn't want her endorsement.She is not a political godsend.She provides lots of fodder for the right and wins no points with the "average" American. I am a huge Streisand fan. I have every album from "back in the day, but I know this endorsement won't play in Peoria.Doesn't anyone even remember what happened last time Babs tried to speak out? She was eviscerated and the comedians and RW had a field day!

You said it wasnt meant to be an insult. Just like this time, you portrayed your comments as being motivated by "concern"

You are so predictable and so transparent

maybe she called both of them that?

Not even gonna bother with this one.

I know nothing of Saracat's other posts or opinions, but to think that Streisand's endorsement is going to somehow help Hillary Clinton is ludicrous. Streisand is one of the right-wing's favorite villains. You can hardly listen to Rush, Hannity, Savage, O'Reilly or any of these other thought providers of the Right without hearing them make Hollywood into some evil Star Wars-like Empire controlling America, with Barbara Streisand prominently declared as one of the worst of them all. If anything, I'd expect Streisand's name to be used as an insult against Hillary from now on. "She's the Streisand Candidate! I told you so!"

You show me how Streisand can help Hillary in Iowa and New Hampshire and I'll show you how Ted Nugent or Mel Gibson would help Giuliani. It only makes the opposition laugh and independents roll their eyes.

Why should I care whom the rightwing dislikes? Liberal folks in entertainment have lots of money that we need. THey support us!


I don't care if the Reps complain. I don't like them. THEY are unpleasant, rude, and out of touch.


I am sick and tired of Democrats apologizing for everything that we stand for!

And strategically speaking, I don't believe an endorsement from Streisand does absolutely anything positive for Hillary Clinton.

So now you know something about saracat's other posts and opinions.

Hence the "Bring it On!"

And if you think they wouldn't have if I didn't, I have a charming bridge for sale over the East River. I'll even give you a discount on it.

No, Streisand doesn't play well in middle America - oh... except she does. She's a phenomenally successful artist, and not just on the coasts.

You bashers are just becoming pathetic.

Check the right sidebar at that link.

when BOTH Edwards endorse our girl Hillary?

See, the reason I ask this is that DU has a pattern for these things so far, and that pattern is that anyone who endorses Hillary Clinton becomes automatically a closet Republican mole, just because they endorsed Hillary Clinton. she's not at all my favorite candidate, but the "anyone who endorses Clinton is now a traitor" attitude gets ridiculous. So I have to wonder if there is anyone with enough stature that they could come out in favor of Clinton and not be branded an enemy of the state.

Gots to love me some Streisand!

and looky, looky at who was the first to shit on this.

Shocker, huh?

If Babs had endorsed Edwards, Miss Sara would have been singing Bab's praises from the highest mountain.

some people can't lift their own candidate without stepping on somebody else's. It's sad.

This is fabulous news! :-)

Too bad for her that Celine is Canadian.

more predictable shitting.

Yeah, too bad, huh...

It would almost make up for the Dems who stay home next November.

They at least come together and vote.

As fucked up as those values are, the Rethugs know better than to ignore them. Our party, on the other hand, never misses an opportunity to piss on its most loyal supporters. A Hillary nomination will be the last straw for many of us.

if she is the nominee.

My guess is you're not as "Ex" as you pretend to be.

An actual live "swing voter!" (maybe)

Extremely rare species - thought by some biologsts to be nothing but imaginary creations of DLC wizardry.

I feel like I saw a Unicorn.

Welcome to DU Unicorn friend! :hi:

My, we're kind of bitchy today, aren't we?

This is hardly unusual from this person, is it?

She might get a lot of play in your living room, but the rest of us moved on after Yentl.

if one endorses Clinton, they're senile, over-the-hill or over-the-top.

I don't know who your candidate is, but I suspect you'd trumpet a celebrity endorsement here.

Those who shit on threads like this are just worthless mungpeanuts.

I know she's a pretty actress.

But months ago one of our beloved Obama fans poo-poo'd EVERY celb endorsement of Hillary's.

Example: Magic Johnson "Oh just another of yesterday's stars"

Jasmine Guy for Obama: "I see that she has grown up to become a very intelligent woman".

funniest post of the day!

At least during the primaries. She said she liked Tom Harkin

personally for quite some time showing great displays of attentiveness over the years to maintain it.

He earned this one.

want to tell all us peasants how he did this? And what precisely you're insinuating with that language?

.

Certainly looks that way.

I do what I do because I respect the truth and trust my comprehensive skills far more than those who I know are certainly less informed.

you don't back up claims like the one you just made. You made some nasty little insinuation about Bill Clinton and Barbra Streisand. You should either back it up or admit that you just threw out some bullshit.

It strokes their egos and makes them feel smart and important. I know some of them.

I worked in LA and NY for 13 years doing music-industry based celebrity fundraising. Personal attention gains commitment.

and why on earth do you see anything wrong with that?

Maybe you should read before you judge.

exactly what you mean. I'd forgotten how much Barbra has schmoozed and sung at their soirees with BC over the years..of course, she's going to back hillary!

K&R

Babs was Oprah before Oprah was born.

I prefer to use my own brain, instead of someone else's. :shrug:

and just for the record, I would have said this even if it was my chosen candidate (whom I have not yet chosen).

It's an expression of support. It usually helps a candidate.

Wait, don't answer that. I know, Amerikans love to follow the leader.
We'll be so much better off as a species when we learn to think for ourselves. someday, maybe. :(

I suspect I could find an endorser for him/her.


and I'm sure I'd find a post from you decrying it.

Unless your candidate is Dodd.

:shrug:

Doesn't have anything to do with my question.
Why do people care what celebrities think? They certainly aren't any smarter than the average American.

but endorsements have always been important in politics. If Babs or Oprah appear at an event, it draws people.

Those people can then be convinced to vote.

1. I love Babs

2. I support Hillary

3. I like to stand back and watch the same people with the same predictable responses piss on threads.

And she's just another one of the celebrity glitteratti who usually support Hillary.

Bitter, your table is ready.

Whatever...

Hey, congrats to the Clinton team!

and La Ross.

The GOOD Supreme is backing Hillary however.

I'll eat my hat. If I had one.

:rofl:

your ass posted about it.

Streisand is one of the most devisive figures in America.

:)

and he can be bought off with an ear of corn

I can see him trying to explain why a band with CDs called "Prowler in the Yard" and "Painter of Dead Girls" likes him. :D

I would prefer to hear their take on the primaries versus that of a bloated Howard Stern-in-drag-lookin' has been.

How does GWAR feel about Kucinich?

"Madame President of the United States...it's an extraordinary thought. We truly are in a momentous time, where a woman's potential has no limitations," said Streisand. "Hillary Clinton has already proven to a generation of women that there are no limits for success. She is driven by her passion for public service and her belief in the enormous potential of our country. Smart, capable and strong in her convictions, Hillary has transcended the dictates of what is thought to be possible for our time.

"Hillary is a powerful voice for change as we find our country at an important crossroads. Under her leadership, our country will regain its respect within the global community. She will prioritize issues of global climate change, universal health care and rebuilding a strong economy. After 8 long years, the public will once again have faith in their government.

"Another former first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt once wrote, 'In government, in business, and in the professions there may be a day when women will be looked upon as persons. We are, however, far from that day as yet.' More than 50 years later 'that day' is now upon us.and Hillary Clinton is ready to shatter through that glass ceiling for all women."


the rest is on the link you provided

For John Edwards supporters, that is !

The Oprah and Streisand followers will split their votes between Clinton/Obama , and all the rest of the Dems who don't need a SUPERSTAH to tell them how to vote will naturally gravitate to Edwards.

Thanks Barbra ... Thanks Oprah !

Just goes to show that Barbara Streisand knows a strong Liberal when she sees one: Hillary Clinton :smoke:

:hi:

and thought Barbara Bush had endorsed her.

"You can't seriously think this is a plus?" is much funnier in that context.

I can only guess at how that must have felt!!

I'm not sure the Hillary camp is thrilled with how this one plays "out there."

The type of voter who doesn't like Streisand because she is "liberal" is the type of voter who isn't going to vote for Senator Clinton anyway.

Senator Clinton is a centrist candidate, but most GOP supporters are convinced that she's a "far-left liberal" due to their indoctrination of rabid right-wing radio and FOX News. To them, Streisand's endorsement confirms Senator Clinton's quasi-socialism, but the rest of the country isn't going to care either way.

this makes me feel icky.

My mom likes Barbara Streisand though.

--that is to say proponents of the utterly stupid fear-based strategy based on the notion that we must endorse the frontrunner as early as possible.

Mem'ries,
Light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?
Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...
The way we were...

It is 2007 folks!

Read the comments to feel the love of the average gamer to Hillary.

...and they do vote. In fairly strong numbers.
