MSM keeps cropping Claire McCaskill out of this photo:


A clear effort to manipulate and poison the narrative of this otherwise inconsequential moment, a la Dean-Scream.

1. MSNBC Is Pissing Me Off About This As Well - Continuing To Milk The Original Picture.....
why don't they show the series of pictures we've seen here on DU? or the one in your post. They keep showing only the one that makes Obama look bad. Coupled with Hillary's cagey answer - they are swaying the public opinion on this.

But this is what we've come to expect out of our MSM & *Co for the last 8 years. Haven't we've had enough of this? Are we ready for another 4 years of Rovian tactics and MSM manipulation?

To me the Media and the Clinton campaign are chanting: 4 more years - 4 more years - 4 more years.......

We need to get this country back on track and poised for the future - but it looks like some want us to stay muddled in the current and the past. God help us.

18. You *know* they have all four pics if we have them. They are CHOOSING to run this fabricated tale to
somehow benefit "poor Hillary" and the lie she blatantly told about "reaching out her hand to Obama". Lies and coverups and fabricated media spin.. now NOW is saying that Obama is dangerous to women because of "the snub". It is horseshit and they need to be bombarded with the truth until they have to cover it.

13. Why involve KO in all this fighting on DU?
Do you want to drive half his supporters against him by encouraging him to take sides. We Democrats need his voice so I don't think it's such a wise thing to do...for the sake of our party and KO. What would his ratings be if he lost about his viewer ship? He needs every viewer he can get so as to keep up with BillO. Just a thought.......

8. And as long as we keep talking about this
or about what Obama said or did or what Clinton said or did, then a repuke will sneak into the WH again.

We are all DEMS, so are our candidates. Let's stop killing each other already. :mad:

This is just what the pukes want. As bad as their party is right now, the DEMS are looking more and more loopy every day.

I just can't wait until we have a nominee so this bullshit between our own party could stop.

The M$M is playing a part but shame on Clinton and Obama and their supporters for letting this crap continue.

12. That pic is still daming to Obama.
Look at the expression on Obama's face and McCaskel is still clapping. In fact, so is Obama. It was a snub. Give it a rest.

20. you do know that it was Kennedy who initiated the handshake, don't you?
Hillary was talking to some guy in a wheelchair when Ted approached with his hand extended.
Obama was turned the other way talking to McCaskill.

21. I'm just relying on APs story
Where the photographer said it appeared that Obama turned away when he saw Clinton. Also, given what Clinton was wearing, I don't think he could have missed her. Look, I support Obama, but I hate the bullshit where people act like he walks on water. I can understand that in the public at large, but I don't understand that in DU. We should be able to support someone even if they are not perfect. We should be able to be honest. I think Obama probably snubbed Clinton, and it was stupid of him, but it doesn't mean he's worse than Clinton.

22. he had already said hi to her earlier in the evening
How many times do they have to meet and greet?

Hillary is beyond devious for implying that she was trying to reach out to Obama.
I despise her readiness to lie for her own benefit.
