- MindyB, on 08/31/2008, -14/+175Picking someone like Palin, as nice as she may be, is a huge insult to Hillary Clinton, and if McCain thinks women can't see the difference, he is totally crazy and deluded.
- chosenson, on 08/31/2008, -19/+147So McCain is trying to run his VP as a Democrat?
- MindyB, on 08/31/2008, -19/+113McCain has no clue about women or what we are looking for in a potential leader. His decision to pick Palin to attract women voters, especially those who voted for Clinton is in fact an insult to women everywhere. Women are smarter than that, we don't just want any woman in a higher office, we want a woman who has the skills, abilities and qualifications to hold that higher office.
I guess to him we are all just a bunch of "skirts".
He has become even more despicable than I thought he actually was. - elisathon, on 08/31/2008, -15/+73Much as it offends me, vexingmodstwo is not wrong - whoever Dugg this wrote a misleading Headline or didn't read - This particular crowd booed the mention of Hillary's name - they did not boo Palin.
And Palin was definitely picked for her conservative values - she doesn't look anything like a lure for the Hillary fans, unless they are stratospherically low-information voters - I mean anyone not living under a rock or 2 weeks dead would know she's far, far, right.
It's the issues, not the gender. - Tyorant, on 09/01/2008, -19/+70Enough with the ***** Palin articles. It's like a spam site on Digg these past few days.
- sptrobb, on 09/01/2008, -13/+55Did you ever consider the crowd was booing Hillary and not Palin? When the crowd heard Hillary's name the instinctively booed? After all I doubt she was speaking to a bunch of dems! Correct if I am wrong.
- caseylankow, on 08/31/2008, -6/+46Um, it wasn't Democrats that were even booing her.
- thatwasawkward, on 08/31/2008, -26/+64That's right. The backlash to this bald-faced pander-fest has already begun.
- ALPHABETlQUE, on 02/01/2009, -12/+49I really don't think Hillary would sell out her political party for her gender. I hope she makes that clear to her supporters.
- jonraymond, on 08/31/2008, -21/+53Palin spoke in Washington, PA with comparisons between herself and Ferraro as pioneer women VP choices and then went on to mention Hillary, which was met with a lot of booing. Apparently that's the extent of her major qualifications. Butthe big problem with this story is that they left out who did her wardrobe.
- Xihix, on 09/01/2008, -6/+37Let me introduce you to the Hillary boards:
http://www.hillaryclintonforum.net/discussion/show ...
That topic and the other topics in the section pretty much go against what the article is portraying. They seem to like her very much to me... - nullity, on 09/01/2008, -1/+30I thought that too, but then I saw this: http://www.hillaryclintonforum.net/discussion/show ...
McCain is not the only delusional one. - sulthernao, on 09/01/2008, -3/+3175% of Americans think that John McCain picked Palin just to put a women on the ballot to get elected: http://pollingreport.com/wh08.htm
I hope that Clinton supporters see through this superficial attempt. - rdizzle, on 09/01/2008, -9/+36They were booing HIllary and not Palin. Buried.
- inactive, on 09/01/2008, -1/+27They read like a bunch of bitter, psychotic women who didn't get there way...nothing more.
- josedrivera, on 08/31/2008, -2/+27http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxhTBjWy2AU
- inactive, on 09/01/2008, -4/+2710 stories about Palin on the front page of Digg today and 1 on Hurricane Gustav and New Orleans.
- SquireCD, on 08/31/2008, -6/+27No video?! =(
- inactive, on 09/01/2008, -5/+23Woot! Another Palin story on the front page! I'm so excited!
- inactive, on 08/31/2008, -10/+28It's gonna be tough to win over Hillary supporters with the Republican camp's true attitude towards women in power so proudly on display.
- peticsu, on 08/31/2008, -4/+22you must think we're retarded...
she takes on pork barrel when she flip flopped on the bridge to nowhere?
you are another McCain parrot - Rousterfar, on 09/01/2008, -6/+23If you watch the video it seems much more clear that they are boo'ing Hillary's name and not Palin.
- dasamps, on 09/01/2008, -3/+20What the hell was that exactly? It's like walking into a looney bin.
- MindyB, on 08/31/2008, -5/+21What makes you think those that "booed" were "Obamabots"?! That is an assumption on your part! They were most likely Republicans since this was a Republican party rally!
- LibertyForever, on 08/31/2008, -7/+22Good point Casey, we tend to forget that Republicans do have a knee-jerk reaction when a Clinton is mentioned ;)
- inactive, on 09/01/2008, -8/+22I'm not a McCain fan, but I'm sick of Palin articles on Digg. Anything, even lolcats, would be an improvement over this.
- thenewkasanova, on 09/01/2008, -1/+13My, god...reading that made me angry. Here's a quote:
McCain has picked PALIN!!! I am THRILLED! AS for the Dums whining that she doens't have experience running things--SHE HAS FIVE KIDS!! TRUST ME! SHE KNOWS HOW TO RUN THINGS!
GOD BLESS MCCAIN/PALIN!!! - thatsmyaibo, on 09/01/2008, -6/+18Not on Digg. It's always the Republican's fault.
- macromorgan, on 09/01/2008, -8/+19Another Palin story... isn't there anything else worth discussing?
- SheilaNoya, on 08/31/2008, -5/+16The Evangelicals preach that men have power over women, not the other way around. Do you REALLY think that all of the evangeliclas will want a woman leading this country if McCain croaks? If they ae true to their beliefs, she should only be the subserviant wife and a baby making machine.
Never forget, the Evangelicals hated Hillary because she was a powerful and outspoken woman. - Wildfire760, on 09/01/2008, -1/+12The women on that site should be ashamed of themselves. They blindly and wholeheartedly support Palin simply because she is a woman, and do not even take the time to research her policies. Palin is an anti-Hilary the only thing they have in common is gender, and the women on that site make it obvious that gender is the only important thing to them.
- inactive, on 09/01/2008, -6/+16Use of "obamabots" = automatic fail
This election gets reduced to pettiness enough as it is. Stop making it worse. - noots, on 09/01/2008, -0/+10i'm ***** sick of it already.
Yes i know i can disable the 2008 elections, but i'd quite like to read the odd article and i don't want to miss anything of great importance.
The front page is full of pointless irrelevant ***** no one gives a ***** about. It's so biased right now it's a joke. - KungFooJesus, on 09/01/2008, -1/+11No *****. Very poor headline. Perhaps wishful thinking.
- jimrin, on 09/01/2008, -0/+10I think the reason Palin speaks positively about Hillary is to go after disenfranchised Hillary supporters. Why else would you praise someone from the other party?
- LibertyForever, on 08/31/2008, -5/+14My bad. I deserve the digg downs, and the concurrent damage to my fragile ego.
- Charlotte_Web, on 09/01/2008, -9/+18They were boo-ing Hillary, not Palin.
That's pretty obvious, reading the article. Too bad CNN didn't provide a video. - DiggRational, on 08/31/2008, -11/+20Obamabots? Do you mean Obama supporters? How old are you?
- inactive, on 09/01/2008, -6/+15It's more likely, and probable, that a crowd full of Mccain supporters are boo'ing Clinton and not Palin's pandering.
- SwordofKahless, on 09/01/2008, -8/+16It is not Obama that scares people it is a segment of his over zealous supporters such as demonstrated here on Digg that continually fabricate these articles. I am not even a McCain supporter but the tactics of the Obama crowd is scaring the ***** out of allot of Americans as well as it should be when you have mobs of people that act so irrationally in public, online and in the media.
There are far worse cases then this thread but the fact is the crowd was booing Hillary's name not Palin. - rootnik, on 08/31/2008, -17/+24Sometimes least said is best said.
As crazy as the Hillary or Die supporters are, they are well aware that Palin is a woman. If the McCain camp has any sense at all they will stop playing the Clinton/Female voter angle and start pushing Palin as a reform specialist.
I am seriously doubting that they have any sense though, and it kills me. As much as I hate John McCain, I appreciate what Palin has been able to do in 2 years in Alaska. Sadly she is just an election gimmick though, and will more than likely never have a word in any policies if McCain wins the election. - Rotzooi, on 09/01/2008, -0/+8QuadZeroStill is a banned user who also uses the accounts EditorialResponse, GOPOperative, RepublicanOperative, RouterGod and QuadZeroRoute.
- inactive, on 09/01/2008, -0/+8You mean she didn't fall in line behind a bunch of corrupt hucksters who were being investigated by federal prosecutors for a ***** ton of official abuses? What a hero!
- inactive, on 09/01/2008, -1/+9You hit the nail on the head my friend. Hillary being picked as VP would have been a gimmick, and we all know it. I'm glad he didn't pick her, it would have meant that this is all some big game to the dems, but the reps proved that to them, this is nothing more than a campaign run by tricks and loose tongue.
- Hillsfar, on 09/01/2008, -1/+9The conservative crowd was booing Palin praise for Hillary Clinton.
This BLUNTS Palin's blatant attempt to get Hillary Clinton's voters because the booing in the footage will turn Hillary's supporters off. Why join in voting for McCain with people who hate Clinton? - TBagwell, on 09/01/2008, -2/+10Liberty, huh? What are you, a ***** parrot? BAWWK!!! Liberty!!
- computrius, on 09/01/2008, -4/+11From what I've seen mccane do, and how he has campaigned, one would have to be some sort of mindless zombie to still take him seriously. Therefore, wouldn't the term mccainbots be more appropriate?
- TSK05, on 09/01/2008, -7/+14That's terrible. Since we're in the business of spamming, let me quote some more relevant arguments:
Wiki: "Biden stated in 2002 that Saddam Hussein was a threat to national security, and that there was no option but to eliminate that threat. In October 2002, Biden voted in favor of the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq, justifying the Iraq War."
"Biden is a leading advocate for dividing Iraq into a loose federation of three ethnic states. Iraq’s political leadership united in denouncing the resolution, and the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad issued a statement distancing itself.[29] Senior military planners cautioned that a partition policy would require American military presence of 75,000 to 100,000 troops for years to come."
"As chairman of the International Narcotics Control Caucus, Biden wrote the laws that created the U.S. "Drug Czar", who oversees and coordinates national drug control policy."
Biden, your VP, supported the war in Iraq, and his plan for Iraq involves maintaining American troops there for "years to come" and was universally booed by Iraqis themselves. Your VP is also a leading proponent of the war on drugs. - Monkeywithacold, on 09/01/2008, -0/+7hahaha this board is awesome! one lady said she wouldn't vote for Obama because of the 12m illegal immigrants that would receive healthcare...Isn't that what hillary wanted anyways?
