We don't have to, as our candidate is way out in front and will be the nominee. If Clinton supporters posted the kind of trash about Edwards or Obama that is posted here about Clinton, there would be accusations of every kind of, &amp;quot;ism&amp;quot;, you could name, and it isn't because there are no rumors, half-truths and unsubstantiated claims out there to use. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Once again, I dare you to re-post the most inflammatory, worst Obama (or Edwards, etc.)-bashing you have found here.&lt;br&gt;It isn't a hill of beans compared to the crap that is tossed at Hillary and her supporters every day. &lt;br&gt;That I am among Hillary's more ardent defenders, using supported sources to make my points and shoot-down false claims, has made me a target of the, &amp;quot;hit squad&amp;quot;, and I am proud of that.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That several, &amp;quot;hit squad&amp;quot;, denizens continue to call me out by name, long after I have ceased acknowledging&lt;br&gt;them and their rants, is further evidence of my initial contention.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This, &amp;quot;community&amp;quot;, is often akin to groups of people on mountaintops, yelling at each other, with no side able to hear what the other is saying, simply shouting over one another. I will continue to try to cut through the static all the way to the election in November 2008.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Van </description></item><item><title>Oh-eight (D): Past is Obama prologue</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/09/10/353233.aspx#353548</link><pubDate>Mon, 10 Sep 2007 16:07:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:353548</guid><dc:creator>LIES LIES TELL ME SEET LITTLE LIES</dc:creator><description> The Clinton haters are merely shrub supporters, unpatriotic, cut and run repukes who are out to defame anyone.

I read these posts hoping to find out what other voters are thinking as they evaluate the candidates and their positions on the issues. On that note, I am a strong supporter of Barack Obama, and I think he is the most exceptional candidate from either party. I find him to be intelligent and thoughtful, and I so appreciate that he is willing to speak his mind regardless of his audience. Time and again he demonstrates that he has the leadership abilities that we need right now. There are other candidates of merit. Senator Clinton, for example, is clearly very intelligent and capable, however, I have not been able to discern what she offers as a candidate. Time and again I have posted here, and on other sites, hoping that her supporters could fill in some of the blanks--i.e. on which issues is she taking the lead? I don't find her frequent talk about fighting the right-wing machine to be a very convincing argument. Hopefully her supporters have better reasons for selecting her as their candidate.</description></item><item><title>Oh-eight (D): Past is Obama prologue</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/09/10/353233.aspx#353983</link><pubDate>Mon, 10 Sep 2007 19:32:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:353983</guid><dc:creator>Grace,  SC</dc:creator><description>One associate, Irvine businessman Jack Cassidy, said he had tried to warn authorities and the Clinton campaign as early as June that he feared Hsu was running an illicit enterprise, but had gotten no response. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Nobody picked up the ball,&amp;quot; said Cassidy, who was not an investor but heard about Hsu's business from a friend. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I agree didn't Hillary say she was surprised to find this out....caught lying again Hillary</description></item><item><title>Oh-eight (D): Past is Obama prologue</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/09/10/353233.aspx#354027</link><pubDate>Mon, 10 Sep 2007 19:48:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:354027</guid><dc:creator>ki houston </dc:creator><description>van , The obama supporters do that for the same reason the hillary supporters use racist speach and the rediculas experiance theam. they want to win .duh</description></item><item><title>Oh-eight (D): Past is Obama prologue</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/09/10/353233.aspx#354051</link><pubDate>Mon, 10 Sep 2007 20:02:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:354051</guid><dc:creator>H P Boston</dc:creator><description>WOMEN FOR HILLARY&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;WOMEN ARE THE MAJORITY&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;65% of women vote&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;82.5 MILLION MOTHERS&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;152 MILLIOM WOMEN&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;148 million men&lt;br&gt;Women vote often.&lt;br&gt; vote early&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;VOTE &amp;nbsp;FOR SENATOR CLINTON.</description></item><item><title>Oh-eight (D): Past is Obama prologue</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/09/10/353233.aspx#354177</link><pubDate>Mon, 10 Sep 2007 21:04:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:354177</guid><dc:creator>MK,MO</dc:creator><description>H P Boston / other than the female thing what does clinton offer? 65% of women vote and about 5% of that (the radical sexist bigots) will be voting for clinton, get a clue, you chicks are pathetic</description></item><item><title>Oh-eight (D): Past is Obama prologue</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/09/10/353233.aspx#354248</link><pubDate>Mon, 10 Sep 2007 21:51:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:354248</guid><dc:creator>jerry/corpus christi texas</dc:creator><description>Any mother who cares about their kids will never vote for Hillary Clinton.</description></item><item><title>Oh-eight (D): Past is Obama prologue</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/09/10/353233.aspx#354302</link><pubDate>Mon, 10 Sep 2007 22:28:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:354302</guid><dc:creator>Real Democrat, CA</dc:creator><description>Van,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why don't you stop suckling Hillary's mammary glands. &amp;nbsp;Hillary's talk of change is akin to Tony Soprano decrying gun violence.</description></item><item><title>Oh-eight (D): Past is Obama prologue</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/09/10/353233.aspx#354307</link><pubDate>Mon, 10 Sep 2007 22:30:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:354307</guid><dc:creator>Real Democrat, CA</dc:creator><description>HP Boston,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So are the Hill-ophiles playing the Vagina card again?</description></item><item><title>Oh-eight (D): Past is Obama prologue</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/09/10/353233.aspx#354342</link><pubDate>Mon, 10 Sep 2007 22:49:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:354342</guid><dc:creator>H P Boston</dc:creator><description>No MK MO you are the pathetic one.

&amp;nbsp;Condescending, self-centered a holes like yourself. &amp;nbsp;People who don't care about anyone but themselves need to be put down. &amp;nbsp;The eighties are over: &amp;nbsp;the one with the most toys doesn't win anymore. &amp;nbsp;The Republicans today are like a bunch of Paris Hiltons. &amp;nbsp;They want everything to revolve around them personally and can't see outside themselves. &amp;nbsp;It is really pathetic and I am so over it and I am also over trying to be the bigger person and hold the upper hand because that is ineffective.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Republicans will make it easier for the Paris Hiltons, Nicole Ritchies, and Lindsay Lohans to buy their next weapon (insert wealthy car here), but they are making it more difficult for the poor to educate themselve out of the ghetto. &amp;nbsp;They are too near-sighted to see that when you don't help out those at the bottom, they grow, and they get frustrated, and eventually all that oppression. and violence comes to YOU. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;OBAMA 08- It's gonna happen. &amp;nbsp;Try not to look so shocked and stupid when it does.</description></item><item><title>Oh-eight (D): Past is Obama prologue</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/09/10/353233.aspx#355139</link><pubDate>Tue, 11 Sep 2007 15:25:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:355139</guid><dc:creator>Windy City Girl, Chicago IL</dc:creator><description>&amp;quot;Any mother who cares about their kids will never vote for Hillary Clinton.&amp;quot; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Okay, not a Hillary supporter but I don't understand the logic of this statement. &amp;nbsp;That is ridiculous. &amp;nbsp;She is a mother, who has raised a really well-rounded and intelligent daughter so what are you trying to say?
