Reasons to hate Joan Walsh, pathetic Hillary Clinton hack
Uploaded by: AntiConformist911
Video Description:
JOAN WALSH, EDITOR IN CHIEF, SALON.COM: You know, Chris, she chose her words poorly. I wish she had referred to Bobby Kennedy still campaigning in June, because that was her point. I mean, even you, leading into this segment, have suggested that she's keeping her campaign alive because Bobby—Bobby Kennedy, you know, was assassinated in June. She did not say that, Chris. She was making the point that campaigns have run into June before. It was an unfortunate choice of words. But she is being bloodied for this. And I have no doubt that it came originally, somewhat, from the Obama campaign. I got the e-mail on Friday from Bill Burton, making sure that thousands of reporters saw the remarks and that they construed it in the way he wanted them to.
MATTHEWS: Certainly, they used it. But the Associated Press reported this story pretty much straight. They said—this is how we led our story at HARDBALL last Friday: the Associated Press, Senator Hillary Clinton referred Friday to the assassination of Robert Kennedy in the 1968 Democratic campaign as a reason she should continue to campaign despite increasingly long odds.
WALSH: That was wrong. She was not using that as—the Kennedy assassination as the reason she was staying in. She was making the point that people have campaigned before in to June. Jerry Brown did it and Bobby Kennedy did it. That was her point, and I think it's been deliberately misconstrued and it's quite outrageous.
JOE MADISON, RADIO TALK SHOW HOST: I absolutely, totally disagree. All one has to do is listen to my show, other shows. There was an immediate visceral response to what people heard. I began getting e-mails from just the average listener, who said, did you hear what she had said? Let's understand, there's a pattern here. One, this is a man who almost had to have Secret Service protection from the day he announced. Two, the Roswell newspaper has him on the cover in cross hairs of a rifle.
MADISON: Here's what people are saying: they're saying the Clintons are desperate. They may say anything. These may be code words. Now, the reality is—
WALSH: Code words? Come on, Joe, you don't believe that. These were not code words.
MADISON: Excuse me. Did I say I believed it? I said what people are saying.
WALSH: What do you believe?
MADISON: Wait a minute. Who's doing the questioning here? You or Chris? the bottom line—I mean—the bottom line is I mean what I say and I say what I mean. That is I said what people are saying. Whether I believe it or not, I'm sharing with you there was a visceral reaction...If this pattern continues, she's going to ruin the Democrat chances in November.
WALSH: I'm going to tell you what's going to ruin the Democrat's chances, Joe. If people continue to demonize both Clintons and treat them like monsters, that will ruin the Democrat chances. Bill Clinton is our only two-term Democratic president in my lifetime. Has he made mistakes? Absolutely. Have I criticized him? Absolutely. Has she made mistakes? Certainly. But to act like she is capable of making a statement like this and summoning up the worst fears and tragedy of our democracy, to act like this woman is capable of that, there will be people staying home in November if this continues. There really will. It's outrageous.
MADISON: Do you know she did not issue an apology to Obama and his family?
WALSH: She didn't say anything about Obama. Why should she apologize to Obama? She didn't say anything about him.
MADISON: What do you mean she didn't say anything?
WALSH: She didn't say anything about Obama. She has nothing to apologize for.

translation: Obama should be "man" enough to hire a woman like Hillary as his V.P. because she smarter and better than him.
My God. Ultra-feminist such as Joan Walsh needs to quit while they are ahead.
These women aren't angry/bitter because Obama (a man) defeated Hillary (a woman) .. it's because Obama a (BLACK man) defeat her .. (not playing the race card) .. that's how i see it ..
cont'd on next post
Don't get me wrong I'll accept Obama decision if he picks Hillary ... the thing is .. I see more Cons than Pros to this Ticket .. not in the winning aspect but the Governing aspect .

Obama has said his VP pick will be someone who he can govern with .. not win states ...
Even though Hilary & Obama share similar policies/agendas .. the governing aspect is hard for me to picture .. the chemistry between the two IMO is not there .. would Hillary want to be second to Obama??
+ there's the Bill factor ..
Go Ralph!
Bill Clinton is a heavy baggage.
Joan Walsh is FAIR. She has written articles criticizing Clinton and Obama. Unlike you, she has integrity.
