SubscribeClintons: “Most Slanted Press In US History”
From the never biased CBS News:
Bill Clinton Blames “Slanted Press Coverage” for Obama’s Delegate Lead
May 20, 2008

LOUISVILLE, KY. — If it wasn’t the night before the Kentucky and Oregon primaries, it would have been a standard Hillary Clinton speech…
But the only new thing the Clintons had to say on primary eve came from her husband, who accused the press of not caring about the needs of voters and favoring other candidates over his wife.
Bill Clinton echoed statements Hillary herself made in the past few days, verifying that attacking the media has now become a Clinton campaign talking point.
“Every time you turn on the television and you listen one of those people dissing her, they all have a college degree, they’ve all got a new job, they’ve all got healthcare, and they’re not going broke putting filling up their gas tank,” said Bill Clinton…
Around 1,300 supporters – mostly women – came out to see Hillary Clinton speak last night in Lexington on the eve of the Kentucky primary when her husband came out to give her introduction, which he called “the easy job.”
“Just remember, all these people who are telling you it’s over…” instructed the former president as several women began to scream “No!” in protest.
“First of all, by their own admission, this has been the most slanted press coverage in American history. Secondly, they declared her dead more times than a cat’s got lives.” …
The Clintons seem to think attacks on the media gave a big boost to Clinton’s double-digit win over Obama in West Virginia, and they’re trying to make the same case in rural parts of Kentucky with the same voters as those who put them way over the top last Tuesday.
Hillary Clinton made similar statements about television critics in Mayfield, Prestonsburg, and Loretto, Ky. - all with large populations of blue-collar, white working families. She also ran a television ad in Kentucky going after members of the media including Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Tim Russert, and one of Bill Clinton’s former staffers, George Stephanopoulos…
Isn’t irony ironic?
It’s all starting to sound like an even more vast right-wing conspiracy.
Luckily our watchdog media has always been completely objective and politically neutral until now.
Who knows what has gotten into them?

I love it when fiberals whine about the very things that they do upon America, her citizens and of course other politicos who don’t toe their line (thinking Liberman here) - Obama The Movement and Her Royal Clinton should run together - they are cut out of the same cloth - hers is just faded and soiled and his is fraying around the edges and threadbare in spots. . .
McAmnesty is just cut from a whole nother cloth - turncoat, lying wanna be liberal. He should have just done the GOP a favor and joined Kerry and at least the Republicans would have a more Republican nominee right now. . .
Yes, ole horney hound dog, the press is slanted - it’s just your wife’s turn to get some of that bias turned against her.

Operation Chaos.

Didn’t Hill/Bill’s pal George slip a shiv into Barack vis-à-vis Ayers and Wright during the ABC debate? I don’t get it……Anyhow, Bill is right. This press is most certainly slanted….I don’t see McCain squawkin’…..
I guess there’s a lot of people shooting for lifetime tenures in Obama’s Ministry of Truth……It’s a good gig if you don’t mind cheap “victory” gin and turnips for dinner…. Only the Dem hierarchy and the academic “elite” are going to be lucky enough to be Inner Party members where they can slurp real coffee and have the option to turn off the vidscreen……….

I can see the big bold headlines now in the L.A. Times…
HILLARY FINALLY MAKES A TRUE STATEMENT !
Now maybe she gets it. The Lame Stream Media in the U.S. is corrupt and has been stumping for the Dems for all of my (54 years) lifetime. Her problem is; she’s not the CORRECT Democrat this time. The vast left-wing conspiracy has stolen what was rightfully hers. She has GOT to be going through some kind of mental meltdown by now.

I HATE Keith Olbermann- I used to think he was cute years ago when he was on some sports show my husband used to watch-but no more. Now that he’s got his “Countdown” show-which I admit I’ve only seen snippets of because he’ so annoying- he’s just smug. He’s kind of like the ACLU-whatever side he takes on any issue is almost always the opposite of what I think. I don’t care for Chris Matthews either- he always sounds like he’s got too much saliva in his mouth or something- probably drooling over Obama.

ah the biggest Boob award has got to go to Colmes on Fox- it doesn’t matter what the issue is in 10 years Ive only heard him agree with any issue twice that i can almost remember - usually he will come off with the most moronic opinion - it doesn’t matter what it is he won’t agree with it - Hummmmmmmmm havein sex with a cat on saturday isn’;t as bad as havin it on Monday when it could offend Persians…and never ever on a Sunday a Sunday a Sunday cause that’s my day of rest…
huh?
gawd the guy is a moron.

I’d sure like to see her eating this sandwich her and the MSM has shoved down so many other’s throats. Doesn’t taste so good, does it zillary? Oh and yes, when it comes to the MSM, they do eat their own.

Gosh, these dopes ( Billary) thought it was a hoot when George H. W. Bush was complaining about the media! Still hootin?!?! ROFLMAO

I love this.
The Clintons have made the media into their own personal attack dog for the last sixteen years. Now Hillary’s stuck her hand too close to the cage.
May 21st, 2008 at 6:52 am
SWEEET—–the press is no longer eating out of the Clinton’s hands! And they are SHOCKED!! Now it is Obama’s turn, of course, and some day he will bemoan the media’s bias…..

It will be interesting to see whether Hillary supports Obama in the general election. Hillary stayed on the sidelines in 2000 and 2004 and didn’t spread the money around that she was building for her presidential run. Between her and Bill they have poisoned the well with Obama’s campaign so many times that it will be hard to support him with a straight face. I think the MSM always defended Bill Clinton because of the (D) after his name, but now that they have an alternative, they too are showing their Clinton fatigue. I doubt Bill or Hillary will vocally support Obama and I don’t believe the MSM will call them on it. She won’t be writing any checks; her campaign is in debt and she may be looking ahead to 2012. I also hold no allusions that the MSM will support the “Maverick” John McCain (R) once its one v. one. They will use all kinds of mental contortions to justify anything but. We need new conservative leadership in the Republican Party.

New?
We need any conservative leadership in the Republican Party.

As Charlton Heston and Ronald Reagan (among others) both said, “I didn’t leave the Democrat Party, the Party left me”. This is much the same way I feel about the Republican Party. Perhaps it’s time for like-minded individuals to band together behind a banner reflecting our true feelings and values rather than trying to put a shine on a brand that has lost its luster. A wise man once told me, “You can’t polish a turd”.

I agree, but it has to come from a governership. The short list of conservative House and Senate candidates are tainted by low overall Congressional approval and the poor job they did that handed Congress to Reid and Pelosi. I don’t know whether we have a Republican governor with national recognition and a solid conservative record.

“It will be interesting to see whether Hillary supports Obama in the general election”
I don’t understand why any American would support Obama in anything.

Florida and Michigan is Hilary’s only key;[other than Obama imploding from some not yet revealed scandel - and there is only a few weeks left for that to occur before convention]
The superdelegates aren’t following the majority constituent vote (as was reported most do - See kennedy-Richardson-Kerry-Byrd-etc) and Hilary/Bill long time loyalists have jumped ship.
I kindah wonder myself if Hilary isn’t just ornery enuff, and Vengeful enuff, even knowing she’d lose anyway, to run Independent just to take enough votes away from the Hafrican Messiah so that he’d lose by split votes and electorate disaster.
Chaos continued??

“The vast left-wing conspiracy has stolen what was rightfully hers.”
She and Bill gave it away by lying then, now, and, likely, always.
I also have ties to Scranton PA and would like to support her but I have a vestige of taste and consience left.
