Default Clinton Backstabber Loser List

Clyburn and Richardson are now known for being traitorous, bad-mouthing losers. Nobody likes a sneaky, lying Judas; everyone respects loyalty. Have you noticed? So many who sabotaged the Clintons have lost credibility, support and reputation with previously loyal Dems!! And not just with a few, with MILLIONS!

At least some smart people kept their mouths shut and stayed neutral, like Gore and Biden. Gore's after the fact endorsement was so delayed, tepid and perfunctory you know he's underwhelmed! I have never seen an election where Democrats and left leaning organizations managed to end up HATED by millions of their own previously loyal voters, viewers and subscribers.

What did they think was going to happen when they attacked a beloved two term President and Hillary?! And for what? A corrupt nobody, do-nothing from the Chicago political machine?

Idiots and Losers:

Pelosi
Dean
Kennedy
Kerry
Carter
Richardson
Clyburn
Brazille
Wexler
Dowd
Ogermann
Anderson Cooper
Chris Matthews
Edwards
Oprah
NARAL
Ludacris
Phleger
Wright
NYTimes
Vanity Fair
MSNBC
CNN
Huffington
Moveon
Newsweek



Please feel free to add to the list of people and organizations now hated by millions of previously loyal Dems.

I alphabetized the list and added a couple plus Leahy & Dodd. I just noticed there are additional posts up above that I missed. If someone wants to add to the list and keep it alphabatized... Can we create an actual "A-Z" list which each letter represented?

Tom Daschle. He called Hillary a 'seriously flawed candidate'.

Can't bear to see his loser face on tv - he tried out a pair of glasses this week on one of the shows that made him look ridiculous.

By the way, just got a solicitation from the DNC with BO's name emblazoned on the return address portion and the words "This is our Moment. This is our time".

They'll get my "0" contribution in their postage paid envelope with my heartfelt response.

Hollywood "elite"
A majority of the real Hollywood elite are NOT on board with O - Nicholson, Hanks, etc. They aren't coming out as PUMAs but they don't like him and aren't donating.

Also, the Emily's List founder is a good friend of HRCs still - she really did stick by her until HRC said not to - and even then she's lukewarm. She's more interested in electing women to congress than helping Obama. I think she's secretly a PUMA.

Congressman Rick Boucher of the 9th District of Virginia. His Congressional District went for Clinton by a huge margin. He supported Bill Clinton in the past, but refused to support Hillary. He is delusional. Rural America will never vote for Obama.

Link:

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/virgi...ranscends.html

Quote:
His message and his personal style can bring unity to the country, and after eight years of the most bitter partisanship in memory those qualities are today essential. Senator Obama has them in a way that no other candidate does.
Quote:
He`ll have strong appeal in rural America in a way that no other candidate will. And only with broad support in rural America can a Democratic candidate win the presidency.

I represent a rural district of 27 counties and cities in southwestern Virginia. George Bush received 60% of the vote in my district in 2004. I believe Senator Obama can carry it in 2008, and no other Democratic candidate can.

He truly cares about rural America. He understands our challenges and has a thoughtful plan to enable us to realize our opportunities. From advancing rural economic development and job creation to promoting agriculture, spreading the availability of high-speed Internet access, reinvesting in our critical water and waste water infrastructures and facilitating greater access to affordable health care, Senator Obama has demonstrated a determination to meet rural needs.

He will be well received in rural America, and rural support will be a strong component of his victory.

The View - would be the two black comics and the Italian comic... Not Elizabeth or Barbara Walters as I think she stays on the fence mostly.

Also the Kennedy is TED... NOT Robert Kennedy Jr.

Robert Kennedy Jr. is a Hillary supporter. He should not be on the list unless I missed something. But he has always supported Hillary.

I think Axelrod should be in all caps, bold and red because he is the biggest backstabber of them all.

Just an FYI about the Judas/Backstabber list.

It's ok for BO to have supporters and surrogates. This list is for disloyal people who put down or trashed HRC or WJC in the process and thus earned the loathing of previous fans.

Carry on...



Oh, I just remembered another one...Larry King!

I am going to add Gloria Steinem because of this comment

http://www.bostonherald.com/news/opi...icleid=1098737

Quote:
The feminist icon whose writings inspired thousands of American women to a passionate support of Hillary Clinton said yesterday she was not at all crushed by Hillary’s loss and believes her race has “absolutely” been good for women. But she now not only supports Democratic nominee Barack Obama, she’ll volunteer for him, too.
“I think she changed forever our understanding of the possibilities of leadership,” Gloria Steinem said of Hillary in a Herald interview after a morning appearance here. “She showed such courage in the face of a media that was trying constantly to get her out of the race and all the misogyny . . . She put up with that with grace. She enlarged my vision.”


Did she speak out while this was going on? NO

If history is repeated-they will end up losing the election and changing the face of the party as disenchanted women leave the Dems. This month's Smithsonian magazine has an excellent article on political conventions that changed the U.S. The 1912 Republican convention reminds me so much of what is going on now-Taft promoted by the Republican Machine and winning caucuses, while Roosevelt won actual elections and had popular sort. The Clintons are loyal Dems so Hillary would never run against the Party as Roosevelt did when he ran as a progressive-but it would be all over if she did.

Post She did.

Quote:
Did she speak out while this was going on? NO
Gloria Steinam wrote a scathing NY Times Editorial after Hillary's loss in Iowa. She was furious that the more experienced candidate was being passed over by the young male upstart. So she did speak out. But how she went from that position to the one she has now is anybody's guess and I am deeply dissapointed in her and would include her on the list.

Full editorial here:

From "Women are Never Frontrunners"
Quote:
THE woman in question became a lawyer after some years as a community organizer, married a corporate lawyer and is the mother of two little girls, ages 9 and 6. Herself the daughter of a white American mother and a black African father — in this race-conscious country, she is considered black — she served as a state legislator for eight years, and became an inspirational voice for national unity.

If you answered no to either question, you’re not alone. Gender is probably the most restricting force in American life, whether the question is who must be in the kitchen or who could be in the White House. This country is way down the list of countries electing women and, according to one study, it polarizes gender roles more than the average democracy.

NOW was leaning to BO a while back. Gloria Steniem drank the kool aid. I love this list and I agree Bob Cassey is a traitor and the Gov of Massuchuttes Patrick Duvell

Thanks Tim. I didn't know about that article. I guess I should retract my position then

I thought that was so tacky of him.


Iam4Hillary - No problem about the Gloria Steinam issue but I though her op/ed was very powerful so I wanted to bring it up. Too bad it wasn't "change we can believe in!"
