Hillary could have raised her stock if she had told her supporters NOT TO BOO the other candidates..

[Blackhatjack]

All Hillary had to do was tell them that was against the rules of the Debate, and they should not boo her rivals because everyone had a right to be heard.

So what did Hillary do?

Oh yeah.... she smiled.

1. Interesting point

Got your stopwatch ready? ;)

[Clintonista2]

2. Dumbest post of the week award

Congratulations!

[havocmom]

4. And they're OFF!

Didn't even get the watch started x(

[Richard Steele]

10. "RELEASE the Ad Hominims!" *trumpets*

[havocmom]

26. Just making an observation. Not "Ad Hominims"

And it wasn't me who made my point :rofl:

[Richard Steele]

33. That was meant as "chiming in in agreement".

Sorry I was unclear. My bad. :evilfrown:

[havocmom]

34. Sorry for jumping to wrong conclusion. My very bad

Taken a lot of lumps today for holding mirrors up to some unruly partisans. Your message was fine. My response was from a tired position.

I make a mean Ad Hominy soup. With fresh pork and green chilis ;) We'll have some with cerveza?

[journalist3072]

9. Exactly. With all the downright nasty stuff that's been said about her right here on DU....

her detractors on here are upset because Obama and Edwards got booed for their disengenuous attacks on her?

How stupid can you get?

[havocmom]

18. Suggesting a candidate ask her supporters to behave in public is nasty?

Suggesting taking the high road would win more friends is an attack?

Jesus! That takes it.

Guess it can get more stupid all the time.

[Clintonista2]

22. Nobody suggested the other candidates should ask their supporters to behave

When the audience was stacked against Hillary at the yearly Kos convention. Nevadans don't like candidates who make personal attacks, and they showed their displeasure at Obama and Edwards' bully-style.

[havocmom]

24. Re-read thread title

:eyes:

[durrrty libby]

29. "Guess it can get more stupid all the time" Do tell......What can?

[havocmom]

30. What passes for discourse. Do you share the snide remarks with the posters who use terms first

or do you save it for those of us who hold up mirrors?

[Forkboy]

23. You obviously didn't read your own posts lately.

Congratulations!

[Guaranteed]

38. No, it really isn't. And wow- more inappropriate behavior from a supporter

of Sen. Clinton. Big surprise.

Seriously, learn how to act in public.

[Hieronymus]

3. Lots of folks agree with you.

[Fresh_Start]

5. No, that wouldn't have worked

cause the Hillary haters would have said that she staged the opportunity to ask the people not to boo in order to 'raise her stock'.

Its a no win situation for HRC

[Richard Steele]

6. Hillary supporters: as classy in real life as they are online.

[Tom Joad]

15. pearls or diamonds?

[Richard Steele]

36. Canned goods. nm

[BobRossi]

7. Hil is a punk..

Plain and simple. She is anything but a leader.

[journalist3072]

11. Sounds like you're the punk, if you're that upset about your candidate getting booed. eom

[BobRossi]

21. S(he) ain't my candidate.

Never will be.

[Matariki]

28. None of them? S(he)?

Will you be voting for Giuliani then?

[rinsd]

8. Edwards the fighter is turned into Edwards the wimp by a few boos.

:rofl:

Oh this is so much fun to see dispirited Hillary haters.

[durrrty libby]

12. She Rocked. Loved.. loved ...loved it

:woohoo: :applause: :woohoo:

[Tom Joad]

13. she could have raised her stock if she said all the troops and contracters

would be out of iraq by the end of her first 6 months in office.

[havocmom]

25. Hell, I would have sent her a check for a statement like that!

So far... nuttin

[Tom Joad]

27. hell, i would like to hear any of them besides Dennis say somethin' like that.

but they can't even promise anything by the end of their first term.
clown central.

[Life Long Dem]

14. How could she say that when she was throwing mud herself.

CNN or the media doesn't see her attacks on Obama or Edwards though.

[itsrobert]

16. Looks like she needs to write that in her dirty playbook for next time.

Hillary Dirty Trick 3(b) After getting cronies to boo. Scold the audience and sound like you're actually defending a fellow Democrat.

[wtmusic]

17. Good point -- but that's something a leader would have done. nt

[thepurpose]

19. I think she should tell the moderates to stop spining attack debates and talk about issues

that matter to real americans.

[Blackhatjack]

20. OK now we can make a list of all the Hillary apologists just from this thread....

Edwards more than held his own.

Hillary has been known to bend the rules whenever she sees fit, and so far the MSM let's her get away with it.

She breaks in to say things whether she is called upon or not --definitely not allowed in the rules all the candidates agreed to in advance.

What if Dennis Kucinich did that when he was ignored for more than 30 minutes? What would you be saying about Dennis?

There are 'rules for Hillary' and 'rules for everybody else.'

She could have done herself some good by trying to uphold those rules rather than just smiling.

[emilyg]

31. I smiled, too.

[Blackhatjack]

32. So you approve? Hmmm... that tells us a lot about you!

[emilyg]

44. Sugar - you don't know merde about this granny.

[Blackhatjack]

46. I'm NOT your 'Sugar' --but why not tell us what you really thought(or will you disappear again?)

Every time you have been asked to explain some comment you seem to disappear into the ether, only to reappear and start the process all over again.

I'm here... you're here ... so tell us. Why did you and Hillary smile at the Hillary Backers' booing other candidates in violation of the debate rules?

Did you think that was appropriate of Hillary when she knew the rules and agreed to them before the Debate?

Will you answer this? Or are you the one who is full of 'merde'? (sorry about the French, but it was your word).

[emilyg]

48. Don't take the "Sugar" personally - down South we even call our dogs "Sugar".

She did not ask the audience to boo. Since I like her very much - it made me smile.

[RaleighNCDUer]

35. Well, why would she do that

after telling them to boo in the first place?

[BenDavid]

37. And such a pretty smile too. If ands and buts were candy and

nuts we have Hanukkah or Christmas (your choice) everyday.

[Perry Logan]

39. The other candidates could have raised their stock by shutting the fuck up.

[Blackhatjack]

47. Ah... the truth comes out! Hillary Backers will only be satisfied if Hillary is alone at the Debate

Nice logic and substance there friend.

[flvegan]

40. I always expect to be disappointed by Hillary.

I'm never shocked when I am.

[book_worm]

41. Don't we on DU love it if Bush is booed? why should we be against people

expressing themselves, if they want to, at a Democratic debate?

[Donald Ian Rankin]

42. Does this apply to other candidates whose supporters have previously booed Hillary?

NT

[leftchick]

43. they were most likely her paid goons

:puke: she as ZERO class.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

45. Who fucking cares?

Do you seriously think this is how we should be spending our time? Do you seriously think that this matters in the long run?

[bigwillq]

49. She really can't control every supporter

People boo. People cheer. It's all part of the game.

I was surprised that they allowed people to boo and cheer. Normally they tell the audience to hold off on applause until after it is over. Of course, when they do that people still get their cheers in but I found it strange that, as far as I know, they didn't have that disclaimer.
