It’s like a miniature version of Bosnia and her White House “experience”. It was a good and respectable haul, but then they had to just go and lie about it.
An email from Terry McAuliffe, Clinton campaign chairman, that I received three hours ago, says “More than 50,000 people have contributed to the campaign for the very first time in the last 24 hours alone.” If 80% of Clinton’s donations are from new givers, that implies a total number of about 60,000 donations. If we’re very generous and assume an average donation of $100, which is high for first-time donors, that gives Clinton a current take of at most $6 million.
Man, Oliver what the fuck is your problem, anyway? Does the sainted Obama never stretch the truth or outright lie like every fucking politician in the world?
Does Sen Clinton hang out with former Weather Underground leaders?
I’ll probably vote for Obama anyway and hope he doesn’t screw us too badly.
Man, Oliver what the fuck is your problem, anyway?
I’m crazy in that I don’t like people who crap all over the party and its members and its activists. I’m kooky that way.
“Does Sen Clinton hang out with former Weather Underground leaders?”
No. Neither does Senator Obama. Hillary “hangs out” with people who are much more destructive to America, like Rupert Murdoch and Dick Scaife.
Merl:
Does Marc Rich ring a bell? Or the people Enlightened Liberal mentions?
every dollar donated to Hillary is a vote for McCain and republican senate and congress candidates
Does the sainted Obama never stretch the truth or outright lie like every fucking politician in the world?
Would you do me a favor and point out 3? I haven’t seen any so far.
Does Sen Clinton hang out with former Weather Underground leaders?
So you’re in Hannity’s camp now, merl? So sad.
Does Marc Rich ring a bell?
Bullshit right wing talking point, sounds like Candy Crowley, without the charm.
BTW, the new York Times, after saying it was just $8 million, now says 10 million, so I’d say that the back of the envelope calcs lose to the NY Times.
Conversely, I’d argue that SOME of those first time voters were the spoused of folks who already maxed out, but that it’s because I’m a cynic.
It’s not Barack, it’s not Hillary, it’s the fucking ninnies on both fucking sides that get to me.
The day after the primary cable news reported she got $6 mill - before anybody had a chance to tinker with the number. I’ll go with that.
From the very same link Ollie gave us:
[If you’re reading this story because of a link from the HuffPost, I’ve updated my reporting here. It looks like Clinton did rake in $10M as of sometime late yesterday, based on a claimed total of 100,000 donations since Tuesday night.}
Time for a, uh, disclaimer, Ollie, no?
It’s getting embarrasing how you jump on any anti-Hillary garbage you find on the web like a magpie with a shiny bauble, and never ever even look at Obama’s dirty laundry.
The Clinton campaign has released something like 3-4 statements about whether or not they’ve raised $10 million. It’s a pretty simple thing and yet they can’t tell a straight story about it.
“It’s getting embarrasing how you jump on any anti-Hillary garbage you find on the web like a magpie with a shiny bauble, and never ever even look at Obama’s dirty laundry.”
Yes because Talk left never wrote anything about how Obama eating a waffle says something about his ability to tackle tough defense issues. Let me fix your statement for you:
“It’s getting embarrasing how you jump on any anti-Obama garbage you find on the web like a magpie with a shiny bauble, and never ever even look at Hillary’s dirty laundry.”
You’re welcome.
Oliver, you took a preliminary report, the source of the report has corrected, and now you are saying that, “They can’t tell a straight story about it.”
FWIW, since I started blogging last may, I’ve had averaging over one correction a month, or about one month, and this does not count my many (many many) bad predictions, which I fess up to.
Get over yourself.
Merl? How about those outright lies you were gonna find for me?
merl: Man, Oliver what the fuck is your problem, anyway? Does the sainted Obama never stretch the truth or outright lie like every fucking politician in the world?
This is interesting. Notice it doesn’t say Hillary isn’t lying. It says Obama lies also. It’s basically the “Yeah, so what if I did? You did it, too.” defense used by 6-year-olds and those who know they’ve just been caught. It’s an admission.
No, I’m not in Hannity’s camp. I’ll vote for Obama whether I like it or not.
I don’t trust the man. But, I trust any Repub at all much less.
I don’t want a President who will try to work with Repubs. Fuck Repubs. And his bullshit about the “social security” crises just rubs me the wrong way.
I didn’t suggest I would find anything for you. You suggested that. Fuck off.
Matthew G. Saroff:
Talking about Marc Rich is a right wing talking point? WTF?? Talking about Vincent Foster is a right wing talking point, not Marc Rich. It was wrong to pardon Marc Rich. If Hillary wants to claim Bill’s eight years in the WH as her experience then she is also going to have to answer for her Weather Underground nonsense. Obama was right to point out that Bill pardoned two members(since she tried to smear him on it). In a debate this fall when McBush talks about Katrina and the lies McBush said yesterday, Obama should bring up the birthday cake picture. It’s not going negative, it’s hitting the bastards with the truth.
No, I’m not in Hannity’s camp.
The only reason I ask is because he said the exact same thing.
You said that Obama “outright lies.” I was simply asking for something to back that up. I’m sorry, I don’t get it. You don’t trust Obama, okay, fine. But you trust Clinton more? After all this spinning, fabrication and obfuscation? I don’t get it. Maybe you can ’splain it up to me.
