Is it me or is FOX NEWS endorsing Hillary Clinton for '08?

[nickshepDEM]

Tonight while watching Hannity and Colmes I noticed that over the past month or two Sean Hannity has indirectly yet openly endorsed Hillary to run for president 2008. He also is caliming that she will get the nomination!?!? I think he is doing this because he knows the Repug's would destroy her. But, he knows it is in best interest not to say this because he doesnt want to scare Dem's away from giving her the nomination. Does anyone see what Im saying? Their already plaining for '08!

[alittlelark]

1. They are certain that she can be beat in '08

that's why they push her:puke:

[ohioliberal]

2. yea!

They just want to tear her apart in '08 and most of the country is still not ready for a women pres. even though I think she would be great.

[pocoloco]

3. LOL

The right wing media would be in hog heaven if Hillary should run.

[David Dunham]

7. That is CORRECT.

[InvisibleBallots]

26. Hillary: Pro-Iraq War, Pro-PATRIOT Act

Why the hell would the Democratic party want to run her for President?

[Love Bug]

4. They would LOVE for her to run

then it would be Clinton-bashing 24/7 again. They live for that shit.

[rooboy]

5. They also coined the term "Joementum"...

and that didn't work too well either.

[Maccagirl]

6. She will never get the chance

to prove whether she will be good or not. But by "endorsing" her, the RW just wants to prove that "Clintonism" (whatever that means to them) will be soundly rejected.

[mcscajun]

8. They're just not happy without a Clinton to bash...

...it's their major drug and they can't go a week without a fix.

[FREEDOMRULES3]

9. their choice indeed

they KNOW they can beat hillary, she wouldnt stand a chance. I think EDWARDS /OBAMA is our only chance in 2008. the pukes will register democrat and try to vote her as our nominee.. you heard it here first

[nickshepDEM]

28. I think our only chance is...

a WARNER/CLARK or CLARK/WARNER ticket.... I think this ticket would carry all of the 264 electoral votes Gore and Kerry got plus they would pick up Virginia, Arkansas, Ohi0, New Mexico, Nevada and possibly Florida and some other "RED STATES".

[Zynx]

34. That's not our "only" chance, but it is our best chance.

[AntiCoup2K4]

43. Of course they will.

Just like they did this year, and for the same reasons.

[Crunchy Frog]

10. Hillary Clinton is the right's wet dream candidate.

I think we should pay attention to Faux and realize that she would be a catastrophic choice to go with.

[janx]

11. Right, Crunchy! They can't wait to beat her up some more.

It was part of the anti-Clinton culture to beat her up early and often. So they're hoping she wins the nomination so they can do it some more.

[wurzel]

12. Hannity is talking about '08 because he doesn't want to talk about '04

[The Backlash Cometh]

13. My God. They know. They know that we know what they know

about the election fraud. This is going to be the next offering. They're going to try to get the Democratic leadership to accept the fraud "for the good of the country" by promising to push for Hillary Clinton in 2008.

I realize this is a bit tinfoilish, but I have to ask the next question. Would the Clintons buy into this? Or will they help us go after the Republican's gonads if fraud is uncovered?

[suka]

14. uh uh

You must not have listened too well! Sean thinks she'll be the nominee but NO ONE (except Alan Colmes) thinks she could win! My husband's a republican and watches it every night! Dick Morris keeps talking nasty about Hilary everytime he's on. He was a Clinton advisor. He said Hilary manipulates, decieves and blah blah blah!

[The Backlash Cometh]

25. Welcome suka.

Good post.

[nickshepDEM]

31. I didnt mean that Sean thinks she will win.

I meant that Sean wants her to run or he obviously wouldnt be stuck on this topic. Hell, any Republican in their right mind would want her to run because they would crush her.

[Pepper32]

15. I would love for her to be president if only...

just to see W. Clinton more :silly:

However, I agree the repukes will tear her apart in 08.

[CatholicEdHead]

16. All about the ratings

Got to keep blaming all the problems in this decade on Clinton's legacy.

A Republican admit fault? That's impossible.

[w4rma]

17. The Clintons are like pinatas for the ignorant sheep on the right wing.

The ultra-wealthy puppet masters use the name "Clinton" to incite their brainwashed followers into frenzies towards whatever goal they have planned next which always inclodes some way for them to funnel a whole bunch of their followers' money into their bank accounts (swiss or otherwise).

[zulchzulu]

18. They can't blame Clinton anymore, but they could use her for headlines

No excuses anymore for the Repugs to blame Clinton. They own the government and will fall by their PNAC/Religious Reich strategies.

But if they could bring Hillary back into the headlines and play the Bill videos again, they would just love it, dahling.

If there's any better reason for Hillary not to run, this is it. Don't give Faux Snooze any joy with bringing up the name Clinton or having the name anywhere on their telleprompters.

[Hailtothechimp]

19. Hillary in 2008 is the right wing masturbation fantasy.

And she is too smart to take the bait. Or at least I think she is.

[UpsideDownFlag]

21. let's hope so. nt

[Liberal Chad from WI]

20. DONT LET HILLARY IN PLZ........

I love the Clintons to death. I am the biggest democrat you'll ever meet. What many democrats fail to realize is that we NEED a democrat who can reach out to the red states. DO you think they'll vote for a New Yorker? NO WAY!! We need a democrat out of the south that can reach out to the red states.

[newyawker99]

39. Hi Liberal Chad from WI!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Liberal Chad from WI]

48. hello

good to here from a new yorker. im just wonderin your take on 2 things. how do you all feel about guliani and clinton? do yall love them as much as they say over here or what

[MaroonVette]

22. That's up to us to decide

They just report it :-) :-) :-)

[robbedvoter]

42. I was so sure you'd be here - it was a "Hitlery" thread!

getting more subtle, I see

[Lydia Leftcoast]

23. She's who the Republicans most want to run against because they

see her as someone their base would be motivated to defeat.

That's why we've seen several trolls advocating her candidacy since the Election.

Actually, she's one of my least favorite prospects, since I think she's too conciliatory toward the Republicanites.

[LittleClarkie]

24. All she has at the moment is name recognition

Don't whomp me now, but these are the same people who were selling Dean as a frontrunner until someone actually cast a vote.

The same will be true of Hillary. She will be the frontrunner until someone actually casts a vote in the first primary.

[WI_DEM]

27. of course they want Hillary becuz they believe she can be beat

easily.

[leesa]

29. The Republicans WANT Hillary to run because they will finally

be able to shred her to pieces and get their revenge for her being an 'uppity' woman. They are the only ones floating her candidacy, have been for years.

[Killarney]

30. Totally right. They WANT her to be the nominee

so they can win again.

Plus, Fox (and the rest of the RW machine) was created out of Clinton hatred and Hillary as the nominee would give them high ratings and a lot to talk about because she's so polarizing.

[blackangrydem]

32. Unless it is some devious reverse psychology at work

and they are actually afraid of running against her. They float the balloon now that they want Hillary to run so the we will scramble to find someone else.

[noonwitch]

33. It could backfire on them, especially if the next four years are tough

If the economy doesn't grow, more people get laid off, the war in Iraq continues with no resolution and maybe expands to Syria and/or Iraq, 51% of the american people might be ready for any change, especially someone who has ties to the happy times of the 90s. If she gets re-elected to the Senate, continues to develop a reputation as a moderate, she could be in a good position. None of the crap they have against her is new, it is all old shit that Ken Starr et al have already investigated. There are a lot of variables involved and I'm not saying that she could win easily, but I wouldn't rule her out.

I'd vote for her in a minute. I would love to see the freepers react to it.

[Zynx]

35. She would be CRUSHED!

She would lose Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire on top of the states Kerry lost.

[lojasmo]

36. She'd keep MN, but lose all the rest....she'd be toast.

IWR, patriot act, NCLB....another "liberal" like Kerry doesn't stand a chance in '08

We need a populist.

[Zynx]

37. If Gore and Kerry barely won Minnesota, Hillary wouldn't win it.

It's not the liberal bastion it once was.

[lojasmo]

38. hillary will be the candidate, and she will lose.....

But she will win MN because of the work of DFA/ACT/wellstone action. Bank on all of these predictions.

[nickshepDEM]

40. I really hope your wrong.

I hope that for the sake of her country and her party she does not run. If she does I think she will do very well soley because of her popularity. I really hope that in 2008 we go with someone who stands for what we can believe but also someone who can deliver the presidency by an uncontested margin.

[Zynx]

45. We can't afford to lose 2008. It could be crippling.

We therefore cannot afford to run Hillary.

[nickshepDEM]

49. I had a typo in my previous post.

I meant to say, "Do to her popularity throughout the country she would do extemley well in the Primaries." Of course, she would go on to the lose the general election. Although I would like to see her win, I think it would be nearly impossible.

[robbedvoter]

41. Some freeper registered her as candidate last year, then posted here

and elsewhere.

[Donna Zen]

44. Five reasons I can think of:

• They want the repub base to associate Hillary as the "face" of the Dem party. Red meat.

• They are sowing doubt about her commitment to the people in New York, and thus
weakening her position in the '06 Senate race.

• They are sucking the air out of any real debate about the 2006 & 2008 races. Afterall, if
it's all Hillary all the time, there is no time to mention anyone else.

• They want to repeat it often enough so that it becomes the truth.

• Yes, they know that while the majority of Dems like Hillary, they, the radical
fundamentalist mullahs can beat her.

Whatever the reasons, Faux news has never shown any good will towards Dem. Nothing has changed.

[Erika]

46. They have nothing else to talk about or

energize their core base of viewers.

For the first time since the election, I actually listened to O'Reilly for a minute and turned it off because it was so boring. All he could talk about was why the democrats lost "so big" and how they have to change and get rid of Dean.

Hannity has always demonized Hillary to rally his core of Clinton haters. He's got nothing else.

Fox is Bush's mouthpiece and now that he's in again, who are they going to go after for rallying purposes to keep an audience? Hillary, of course.

[trillian]

47. Of course they are!

Repubs would love if Hillary ran. They know they could beat her.

Hope she stays in the Senate! x(

[journalist3072]

50. Fox

Well, I don't know what's up with Fox. I can't stand their rhetoric, so I don't watch them.

But for anyone who is familiar with David Brock's Media Matters for America, they have on their website that Sean Hannity endorsed Al Gore for President in 2008 on his show the other night! What is up with that?

[nickshepDEM]

51. I watched when he "Endorsed" Gore for '08.

He was being extremley sarcastic when he said this. He was on the topic of how GORE degraded "OUR PRESIDENT" (George Bush) durring a time of war over and over and over again. He then went on to say something along the lines of "The American people will remember Al Gore for these actions and therefore, I want Al Gore to run, matter of fact put this on your website. Sean Hannity endorses Al Gore for president in 2008." He was saying this becasue he had earlier he had stated that they would crush Gore in 2008.

[Piperay]

52. They would love Hillary to run

because it would bring out all the Hillary haters and she would be beaten so easily by the weakest repuke they could find. x(
