McCain's and Obama's comments (vultures picking over the bones) are disgusting

4. True. This is something we can expect from Republicans, but not from one of our own!

6. Obama really screwed up...here's the statement

"I am shocked and saddened by the death of Benazir Bhutto in this terrorist atrocity. She was a respected and resilient advocate for the democratic aspirations of the Pakistani people. We join with them in mourning her loss, and stand with them in their quest for democracy and against the terrorists who threaten the common security of the world."

12. OMG, how DARE Obama issue such a statement!

thank you for that.

5. Are you referring to the Obama campaign reacting to the Clinton camp spinning the death?

Because that “statement” was a response to someone asking about the suggestions that the death benefits Clinton on foreign policy.

Also, I suggest that you actually read the transcript of what was said, which was quite reasonable, as opposed to the bullshit being spun by the lunatic Clinton supporters on DU.

7. Ahhh - still TRYING to defend the INDEFENSIBLE, I see...

nice...

11. Have you actually read the transcript, or are you simply following the herd?

Try reading post number 6 in this thread. Then I’ll accept your apology.

9. Not a fan of Hill...but Obama has a serious problem

Regardless if he was answering a question, it was answered extremely poorly. It highlights his lack of experience and, despite claims to the contrary, how far he and his camp are willing to go to get elected.

Said it before, and I'll say it again: he's simply not ready.

10. Don't be stupid

see post #6

[Hobarticus]

13. Don't be naive

You think this will wash the stink off of this?

Good luck.

[TheWraith]

14. What stink, exactly?

A campaign official reacted honestly to a question about the spin that the Bhutto death helps Clinton. If that's "stink," then kindly answer, what do you call what happens when every pro-Clinton pundit and blogger simultaneously starts chanting that this helps her? Or when every single pro-Clinton outlet starts twisting that statement into "Obama campaign says Clinton killed Bhutto"?

I say again: read the actual transcript, and you'll find out how badly the Clinton supporters are twisting reality. It's not like they can afford to talk about the issues raised by this, what with the Iraq War vote still hanging on their candidate like a dead albatross.
