How to translate Obama-speak: an essential giude
http://www.bartcop.com/

Excerpt:
Claim:
In December and early January – Hillary’s panicked supporters played nearly every card
in their political deck to salvage the dream of putting a second Clinton in the White House.

Fact:
It's called, "fighting back," and it's something all Democrats should try at least once.
Claim:
Sen. Clinton and her feminist backers appealed to women to get behind one of their own;

Fact:
Just to be clear - it's wrong when women do it but it's perfectly fine when Blacks do it.

Claim:
Clinton operatives insinuated that Obama’s youthful drug use would make him unelectable;

Fact:
They stated a fact: Use of illegal drugs can haunt a politician and Obama has admitted to
cocaine use 'back in the day,' something no other presidential candidate has ever done.

Claim:
and Bill pulled a page from Karl Rove’s playbook in attacking Obama
on a perceived strength, his early opposition to the Iraq War.

Fact:
A. How many times are you going to make that same charge?
B. When did it become "Rovian" to fight back?
C. Is Robert Parry going to give us his Nancy Grace Guarantee that Obama's
"early opposition" to Bush's war was consistent, vigorous and constant?

Claim:
Central to this Clinton comeback was a readiness to do whatever was necessary,
from seeking sympathy to sliming an opponent.

Fact:
There you go again - reading Hillary's mind and then tattling on her inner-most thoughts.
If you had gone to Vegas the first time you claimed you could read minds, you would be a
millionaire by now, yet that trip remains unrealized and I have to wonder why.

How dare you make a wild assumption and then elevate that wild assumption to a fact.

2. Fighting back
It's called, "fighting back," and it's something all Democrats should try at least once.

Yeah, but it would have been nice if the one time that Clinton chose to "fight back" was against the Bush Administration instead of a fellow Democrat.

Man, the quality of discourse on DU has dropped to sub-Freeper levels.

5. Another flame bait negative post
Still nothing positive to say about your own candidate, eh?

Still nothing but destructiveness and sniping and nastiness to add to this forum?

Pity.

8. How could one avoid your many non-productive posts
They litter GD/P like, well, like the trash that they are.

I'll keep commenting on your gutter shit posts as long as you keep posting gutter shit, though. It helps us grow this very healthy relationship, don't you think?

12. The fact that you can't propose one positive thing in favor of your candidate
demonstrates who the real shit fan is here.

I just point out shit when I see it. You, on the other hand, have seemed to corner the market in production.
