What Hillary really meant by her Gore comment...

When Hillary Clinton called Al Gore--one of the most beloved and well-respected members of
the Democratic party who Progressives revere as an icon--"an elitist", she was really saying,
"Screw the Progressive wing of the Democratic party."

Gore is one of the most important Progressive leaders in our party. There is also a great deal
of pain surrounding that great man, because of what happened in 2000.

For Hillary to position Gore as an elitist, is to trash the Progressive movement within the Democratic
party. She knows how adored and admired he is to us.

She's ripping apart this party and she has no qualms about turning her infamous attack machine against
half of the Democratic party.

yup. believe it : - )))

She got back!!!

buttpat

She knows she's done. You can see it in her expression.

Kinda sad.

- as

She looks guilty, sheepish.

That's a look of shame.

She knows. She knows that she's not going to win, and she knows all of
this "gotcha" stuff won't help her, but will only hurt the Dem's chances
in the GE.

I guess you can slam a man all week long, but when he's standing right in front of you it begins to register just what you've been doing.

- as

Obama is not perfect - no politican is - but he is the only one of the three running to whom I would entrust the next four years of our country

She sees us as the "looney left." She's DLC through and through and would like nothing more for us to just go away.

I believe that about the DLC.

If the DLC loses control of the party, it's over for them for a long time.

goperverts and has been for the last 6 years that I know about.

Hillary is TRASH and her megalomaniac husband too.

She can't shine Al Gores shoes......she is a triangulating LOSER....she will NOT tear the progressive movement apart, by her using wingnut Rovian talking points she is making us stroner.....

STFU Hillary you are so 1990's

I'm afraid to go to sleep at night and miss something urgently important..

...tonight, during the CNN "Compassionate Forum" that was a discussion about religion and
faith.

Hillary was on first. Then, Obama came on and talked. They were both interviewed and took
questions from relgious leaders in the audience.

In what context did she talk about Gore?

as being "elitist" and "out of touch".

Here's the actual quote:

"You don't have to think back too far to remember that good men running for president were viewed as being elitist and out of touch with the values and lives of millions of Americans," she said.

Where's the right-wing paint?

..."Compassionate Forum."

I don't have a link, because she said this during the live interview this evening on CNN.

If I find a link, I will post it here.

don't bother with link...I've never heard of this...but I will take you at your word on it. Peace!

... she knows FOR A FACT that Gore is NOT endorsing her, no how no way. If she thought there was even a glimmer of a hope that he would, she wouldn't have opened her big mouth.

So now the question is: Does she know Gore isn't endorsing ANYONE, or does she KNOW he's going to endorse Obama?

...would she risk changing his mind about that decision?

Actually, at this point she might.

and that Obama didn't need to be giving them ammo for the GE

it would be helpful to see the quote.

I didn't hear exactly what she said, but if she's ready to make nice than that's a start. It'll look odd when she has to turn around and endorse Obama in a few months.

that Obama needs to address this because it sounds elitist and that is what loses elections for dems

tonight she said Gore and Kerry lost because they were framed as elitist

The thing, is that Gore and Kerry never made any comments that could be deemed demeaning to rural voters like Obama did.

B) Who is doing the false framing now? Her Highness. It's despicable. Shame on her. "Oh, it's not ME, I'm just saying OTHER PEOPLE might frame it that way!"

Hillary = Concern Troll

Obama didn't say that a baby is a punishment, Bill Clinton didn't say that Obama's candidacy is a fairytale, Obama didn't say that Americans who live in rural areas stupidly cling to guns, religion and racism, Clinton didn't endorse McCain, Obama didn't say that Reagan was a great President. When will all the BS end?

Regardless of who wins the nomination (and in my opinion it is highly likely that Obama will win), we should unite behind that person because HE OR SHE will:

1. restore habeas corpus and other constitutional rights (Unlike Clinton and Obama, McCain voted to eliminate many of those rights by, e.g., voting for the Military Comissions Act);

2. move the nation in the direction of a single-payer universal health care system (the only sane system);

3. END MAJOR COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAQ (McCain somehow doesn't realize that spending billions of dollars killing people is almost never a cost-effective and moral means to the end of making the world a better place; on his view foreign aid is great so long as it is really expensive and involves a lot of killing);

4. take meaningful steps to address global warming;

5. appoint supreme court justices who aren't interested in making the executive branch aqbove the law;

6. restore America's image in the world thereby greatly enhancing our security;

7. support economic policies that do not simply put money into the pockets of the rich (Unlike Clinton and Obama, McCain Voted Against a Clean Minimum Wage Increase for Working Families. McCain voted with the Republicans in 2007 to stall a clean minimum wage increase for working families— before bowing to public pressure and voting to pass the final bill that included tax breaks for businesses. He even voted to completely repeal the minimum wage laws in 45 states and allow the other five states to opt out of any future minimum wage increases above $5.15 an hour. )

8. etc.

Obama and Clinton both represent a radical CHANGE from the last eight years. Both are vastly superior to McCain. True democrats will care enough about the country and the world to vote for either Obama or Clinton.

And, sadly, I voted for her on Super Tuesday.

given that their positions on most major issues are so similar

I find her to be very much like Granpda and very little like a Democrat.

Hillary's mantra.

but why tell the truth when a lie will serve your purpose better?

"You don't have to think back too far to remember that good men running for president were viewed as being elitist and out of touch with the values and lives of millions of Americans," she said.

But, of course, someone who is a Senator, has a mansion in Westchester, sits on $100 million and went to Wellesley is the salt of the earth.
She's practically a whiskey drinking coal miner.

And btw, those "millions of Americans" who thought Gore and Kerry were "elitist" voted for Bush.

Hillary? Not so much.

Republican, the Republican will win every time.

Republican Red?

how much of a bottom-feeder she truly is.
