Ha! DU was just on CNN.
Talking about some of the Hillary supporters who brought props (bowling pin, boxing gloves, etc.) to Hillary rallies. Showed some of the commentary from GD-P.

12. The huff post
hates Hillary Clinton, what they write is pure garbage.

Doesn't change my mind--except--same old stuff from the Grim Obama supporters who must spend most of their days dredging up stuff about Hillary.

27. If he's at all the rallies,
then he is a paid campaign staffer.

Do you know how much it would cost for a private citizen to keep up with Hillary's campaign team?
They don't travel by bus.

terribly, terribly wrong like you are now.

They could at least force them pay actors to attack Barack.

13. Where do you think they get their stories from 1/2 of the time?
That's why we must hurry up and coalesce around the nominee, because the more shit thrown on distractor of each of these candidates, the more fodder we provide that makes Democrats look bad and or comical.

The "Leslie" thing was a joke. I get the feeling a lot of people here take it seriously.

47. Somebody actually named their kid "Wolf"?
I mean, I've heard of "Wolfgang", but actually "Wolf"??

That would have to be as embarrassing growing up with as Leslie, really.

26. No they aren't paid, they're just big fans
of Hillary who paid their own way to go to her rallys. The guy with the poll pin met Hillary at a bowling alley so that's why he carries the pin with him. The two are such fans and so well recognized by the Hillary organizers that they make room for them on the stage.

24. Bowling Pins and Boxing Gloves sure does help
get to the RELEVANT issues of this election. Yay cnn...NOT!

> Within the ranks of journalism's elite, there is an artificial hysteria that sells every halfway intelligent campaign ad as a sensation. Style triumphs over substance, which in the end reflects back on the journalists themselves. Reporters who claim that the decisive criterion of an election is whether the candidate is able to "inspire the American people" should not be surprised if similarly stiff demands are placed on them. <<

Of course, the boxing glove guy was plausible, the crap about Obama is just viscious fantasy...

45. There are few of those in the cacophony of stupidity and
flame-baiting posts. Just that stupid shit seems to be what draws the attention. I guess any press, even bad press, is better than no press.

46. Slightly OT, but how in the world would someone get away with bringing
a bowling pin (i.e. potentially lethal weapon) to a campaign rally? I remember back at a Kerry rally when security confiscated my little collapsible umbrella.

I never did get that umbrella back. *grumbles*
