I am offended that the WH is offended at Carville's statement.

[truebrit71]

Of all the things to get "offended" about the WH chooses this topic?

They didn't get "offended" when the FBI fessed up that thousands of people had been illegally wire-tapped.

They didn't get "offended" when bush admitted that he personally gave the order to commit war crimes.

They didn't get "offended" when the gop time and again called him a commie or a socialist, or a Kenyan.

They didn't get "offended" when the gop sut down the extension of unemployment benefits.

They didn't get "offended" whenever (insert right-wing loudmouth here) called him (insert baseless accusation/insult here).

No.

They choose to get "offended" because of something someone said about his balls.

If there is a clearer example of this WH and this President being damned near clueless, this is it.

(and for what it's worth, I'm surprised he only credits Mrs. Clinton with three..)

1. Can you share the quote from the WH? I haven't seen it written out.

[gkhouston]

3. I haven't either but I'm sure Politico will give us an accurate transcript.

:P

[molly77]

11. Carville is brilliant at getting on anybody's last nerve.

He and Rahm should have a contest. Who is the biggest a-- hole?

[Peacetrain]

2. Which particular WH spokesperson was talking about this.. I can't find anything on it

I know the press has been having a field day with it..I did not realize that the WH had spoken about it..

[dennis4868]

4. Can you provide sources that the WH did not get offended all the times you say.....

they did not get offended? Don't be FOX News....come here with the FACTS!

[Enrique]

5. where did you get the idea the white house was offended?

was it from the thread here at DU? What was the source? That thread had no source in it, regarding the WH's supposed offense.

[Mass]

16. Because John King at CNN said so, so it must be true.

[BklnDem75]

6. Got a link?

A quote? Anything? Jumping at something that doesn't exist sounds more clueless to me.

[tabatha]

7. I can imagine Obama flicking off the dust on his jacket.

[grumgrum]

8. Remember: The WH will ONLY Fight Back when it is From the Democrats NEVER, EVER from the Repubs.

We've seen this game played for the last 2 years..and you've just pointed out the obvious ones...
Obama may have tendencies to do a few Left things (with massive compromises) but for the most part he prefers that the Right just like him...even though they never will. In other words, he is a New Democrat (aka Corporate Democrat, aka DINO)

[ProSense]

10. Remember:

that's not accurate.

[Jennicut]

26. James Carville is barely a Democrat. If Obama is a DINO to you, what is Carville?

[elleng]

9. Who is this WH you mention?

Looks like, according to you, 'they' didn't get offended about a lot of things, and then 'they' did?

[Mass]

12. As a woman, I am offended by Carville's statement that you need to be a man to be tough.

I find it very sexist.

As for the substance (Hillary is tougher than Obama), it remains to be seen.

[impik]

13. Care to post a link? Or is Politico now the new trusted source of "progressives"?

[jonnyblitz]

14. are you all BLIND? there is a thread currently two threads

below this one with a link to a CNN video. :crazy:

[Autumn]

15. Thank you. A blue link , not a blind link .

that gets to the heart of the problem.

[BklnDem75]

19. Saw the link. There's a claim

Zero quotes, zero names. Have a link to anything more solid?

[jefferson_dem]

21. Circular much?

Oh, here's a link of "evidence" that this is all legit.

[uponit7771]

18. I'm sure the WH is offended at all of those

The WH likely expects insults from Republicans, and support from Democrats.

And it does not have all day to be offended at political issues.

Further, it would be easy to find statement in opposition to all of those.

WHy would Hillary be so much more "courageous?" She'd be the same.

[jefferson_dem]

20. Wow. You're easy...

I see you've bought into the bullshit "dems in disarray" frame. Hook. Line. Sinker.

23. a lot of talk (as usual) with nothing to back it up.

[Dinger]

24. God, I Love Your Avatar :(

Wes is still my president. I don't give a shit what anybody says.

[truebrit71]

25. Makes me sad thinking about how much better off we could have been..

..

[cottonseed]

27. snore

[VMI Dem]

28. Hey, they also got offended when a judge overturned DADT.

[boppers]

29. I am offended that you are offended.

It's offensiveness for everyone! Whee!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

30. Moveon

I get tired of this

[donheld]

31. I am offended that your offended that the White House is offended.

Good post however.

[Skittles]

32. because THIS they understand it is true

[Phx_Dem]

34. You get the award for the lamest post ever.

As if you would know when the White House is offended by anything. :crazy:

[Honeycombe8]

35. I disagree. That's a pretty disrespectful way to speak of the President of the country,

regardless who the President is. There was a more delicate way to phrase that. Plenty of people have said that w/o being so crude.

And the fact that it's one of his own party is why it's so disrespectful. Such crudeness is expected from the party that has protest signs of Obama dressed as a witchdoctor. But not from one's own "supporter."

Though I understand that Carville and others, incl. myself, are getting fed up with all this wimpiness. But I think it's ALL the Democratic leaders, not just Obama. I can't think of more than a couple who have exhibited any forceness of spirit, taken consistent tough positions, and told it like it is.

36. I am offended that you're offended that the WH is offended at Carville's statement. nt
