Posted by ShortnFiery on Fri Feb-22-08 10:03 AM

over 25 years. My father was a career Army Officer and my brother served in combat during the Vietnam War. My background encourages a BLUNT form of communication.

I know that I slip and use expressions that are "not appropriate." But make no mistake, as one of the first women integrated into the regular army during the dissolutions of The Women's Army Corps, I have had my share of "in my face" sexism.

But I live in a community that's mostly consisting of Government Workers and AD/Ret. military officers. Our lingo tends that way.

BTW I'm proud to "fight like a girl."

I don't mind being called "a pushy ole broad."

There are some sayings that are flattering if you take it in a proper spirit, but you're right not the word "milking."

I humbly stand corrected. :blush:

"No excuse" but the above is a genuine "explanation."

Do you have evidence that Hillary arranged this crash to get publicity? Do you doubt that accidents do happen? Do you seriously believe that 24 hour cable news might not mention an injury causing accident involving a Presidential candidate motorcade (given everything else they choose to chatter about)? How many of us clicked open this thread to find out more about it?

Hillary Clinton hasn't milked a drop of this. If she goes on with her day and makes no comment of comcern over the health of any officers injured she would be derided as a cold hearted self centered bitch and you know it.

She must have been so proud to have gotten that assignment too. Just tragic.

Does anyone know what happened?

4713018, Died? How fast were they traveling? Did they say?

This is terrible. And for the OPer to turn this into something negative about Clinton is low.

I wouldn't be surprised if she/he got hit at an intersection though. This is what the motorcycles are usually doing, blocking off the side streets.

4713169, Oh no. That is horrendous.

I thought I'd seen the worst here, but some people keep surprising me.

Posted by JustDavid on Fri Feb-22-08 10:08 AM

I can imagine an independent voter happening across this thread and seeing the way you people go at one another. Just like a damn kindergarden class.

I can imagine them saying "Oh yeah...I can't wait to vote for these people." /dripping sarc
I saw two coffee cups this morning; one said "Hillary 08" and the other said "Obama 08"
The cup that had Obama on it was cold. Must be a Clinton operative in here somewhere...


...and we sit and wonder why we lose.

Don't play this game. There are so many fair ways to support O or poke fun at H. This ain't one of them. This is about a real event with real people. Smarten up--and more importantly, show some fucking humanity.

4712984, wasn't there a fire in one of their campaign offices last night?
Posted by Whisp on Fri Feb-22-08 10:13 AM

I'm sure I heard that, now whether it was before or after the debate, don't know.

4712987, This is horrible
Posted by Khaotic on Fri Feb-22-08 10:14 AM

My thoughts and best wishes to the police officer and everyone in the Hillary campaign who were in the motorcade.

When something like this happens you don't know if it's an accident or what.

I don't want any incidents to happen to ANY of the candidates.

As for Hillary, it's not as if there's photos of her personally providing first aid to the officer. That might raise questions.

But it is completely legit for everyone in the motorcade to be highly concerned.

Actually everyone who cares about the safety of our elected officials, their staff members, and everyone keeping all of them safe, should be concerned.

Ever seen the MTV2 show "Scared?" It's terrible ... and if the officer was face down w/ a lot of blood? I feel really bad.

How terrible.

4713133, Horrible
Posted by Khaotic on Fri Feb-22-08 10:21 AM

In the time it took me to write my post the officer died.

I hope the officer receives a full police funeral detail.



Very sad.

4713015, Horrible news. But, bank on Hillary getting a vote bump from it...just sayin'
Posted by NoodleyAppendage on Fri Feb-22-08 10:15 AM

NOTHING in a Presidential campaign occurs in a vaccuum. Hillary will get a poll bump from her response to this accident. BANK ON IT.

4713108, You truly need to take a step back...and I TRULY hope you don't support Obama...
Posted by sfam on Fri Feb-22-08 10:20 AM

If you do, please don't tell anyone. Someone losing a life in the line of duty is not something that should be viewed first and foremost through a political contest view.

And as an Obama supporter, I do truly hope Hillary does the right thing as a leader and makes this person's death as meaningful as possible. Her family (or his - the reports are conflicting) truly deserves nothing less.

4713167, That THIS is foremost in your mind is sad and telling.

Posted by NoodleyAppendage on Fri Feb-22-08 10:24 AM

"Sen. Clinton did not mention the accident at her rally; it was not clear whether she had been made aware of the incident."

How can you not be aware of a motorcycle crashing around you and a person being thrown 20 yards?

4713191, Why don't you just STFU
Posted by seasonedblue on Fri Feb-22-08 10:25 AM

until all the facts about this tragedy are known.

4713291, FACT: Hillary continued on to her rally and did NOT mention it during the event.
Posted by NoodleyAppendage on Fri Feb-22-08 10:30 AM

So, either she's oblivious to her surroundings and truly did not know that there was a crash immediately involving her motorcade, or the accident did not fit into her stump speech. She could have at least mentioned it before or after the rally.

4713315, As an Obama supporter, I would STRONGLY prefer she wait until...
Posted by sfam on Fri Feb-22-08 10:32 AM

the facts are in and the officer's family has been notified. Why you think she would do anything different is a mystery to me.

I do not trust your intentions on this board. I know you are doing no good for Obama with posts like these, and I doubt that you do not realize that.

4713255, Why didn't she mention the accident at her rally? Why didn't she at least voice concern?
Posted by NoodleyAppendage on Fri Feb-22-08 10:28 AM

I have every right to ask questions about her apparent lack of response to his accident.

J

4713298, This isn't what you've done in all your responses...
Posted by sfam on Fri Feb-22-08 10:30 AM

You've tried to make this seem like Hillary will be using this for some political advantage. Believe it or not, many of us here still put our humanity before our politics. Some might even believe the candidates might do this as well.

I don't know if you've ever been around an accident scene, but when there's a chance of a fatality, all sorts of things happen. Hillary will not be able to comment on this till things have cleared up. After that, I truly hope she does, and I hope its covered well. The officer's family deserves nothing less.

4713318, Bullsh*t. She could have at least voiced concern over the event.
Posted by NoodleyAppendage on Fri Feb-22-08 10:32 AM

Giving a rally right after the crash and death of one of your motorcade officers will not sit well with many. It was her CHOICE to continue to the rally and fail to mention it.

:cry:

[Qanisqineq]

1. I just came from reading that thread

the gall of some people. The officer died. The Obama-nuts are saying Hillary will "milk" this. No wait, Hillary set this accident up just so she could get attention. These sick fucks are really making me hate their candidate. I know, I know it isn't Obama's fault but so many of his supporters are just sickening.

:puke:

Why are shitty Clinton threads never locked or shitty posts deleted? Maybe it's just me.

[rodeodance]

2. I sounded the alert but to no avail--it just went on even when they knew the officer

was hurt.



damm!

[Qanisqineq]

5. god, there's one particular DUer that is just vile on that thread

every time I see an Obama-nut's post that is just crap I want to reply with a simple "fuck you". That wouldn't be very constructive or sound very intelligent but that's what I say in my head every time I read their drivel. I just don't get where they come up with this idea that Hillary is the anti-Christ. So maybe you don't agree with some of her votes or her ideas or you just don't like her all that much but to act like she is the most evil thing out there is insane.

I saw part of the debate last night and from watching other debates and her online town-hall meeting, she seems so much more sincere and caring about the country than Obama.

[rodeodance]

7. I believe shs is sincere. That i know. I hit back when they infest her

positive threads as best as i can--as have others. i think it cuts down somewhat. who know.

i think some have learned a lesson today with the tragic death of the officer.

[theHandpuppet]

3. I've been wondering the same thing

i've alerted on a number of vile posts but absolutely nothing was done. Of course, if in your utter frustration you call out a poster for flinging sexist and homophobic garbage all over the forum, it's won't take 5 minutes to find your thread locked. Funny, that.

[Justpat]

4. this place has become an intellectual sewer.

I'm ashamed of it.


That thread is simply one of many despicable, useless threads on DU

[jillan]

6. I'll go and alert.

You have to wonder how old some of these people are, or what their story is.

How can anybody stoop this low????

8. there was one du'er who is in her 50's . go figure and thanls
