Over-hyped Item Of The Day

It has to be the Hillary falling flags deal.

After a very Presidential-esque news conference - Clinton turned around to leave the reporters and their peppering questions. A staffer swooped open a curtain, and chaos ensued. Four large American flags came crashing in front of Senator Clinton as she headed for the door.

What are they writing, journalism, or drama? I watched the video - eh. Contrast what happened with ABC's description of it. Apparently the writers strike doesn't extend to ABC News. Chaos!?! Give me a break. Geesh. No wonder they can't get stories like Katrina, or Iraq right. Faced with actual chaos, they must be totally overwhelmed and become downright unhinged.

Dark side, flags know, they do.

Bah to all this "Hillary! is slipping" nonsense.

She has too much money, organization and name recognition to lose the nomination. If she DID slip, which I don't think she is, the Dems have no one else to go to. Edwards is an empty suit in whom even the nutroots have lost faith. Obama keeps proving how out of his depth he is every time he opens his mouth -its hard to believe a modern, well-funded campaign can be as inept as his seems to be. He must truly be incompetent. If he wasn't part black there would be no Obama campaign at all, its all he's got.

All this crap about Hillary! supposedly getting hammered is so they can write a big "comeback" narrative about how resiliant she is and what a great fighter and counter-puncher she is.

I don't buy it. Its a combination of the fact the press likes a horse-race and its just far enough from the primaries the leftist media feels it can safely bash Hillary! and not damage her in the general.

Wait until the general election and see the kid glove treatment she gets, while they stage a 24/7 full-court press against the Republican.

You're right again, doc. That is the exact scenario the MSM already has scripted. Create whatever sympathy is possible for HRC, then slam the Republican nominee right out of the gate, go full court press on him the rest of the way, and let Hillary slide on illegal campaign contributions, etc. A recipe for a win, along with the voting fraud the media will overlook and undercover on the Democratic side. I guess I'll get my health insurance free, anyway, that's good for several hundred a month, and will have to be my consolation prize.

TK, do you even follow the news? HRC got hammered for weeks on the Hsu scandal, while Mitt Romney has skated by scott free.

"Romney campaign took a huge hit when it’s national finance committee co-chairman, Alan B. Fabian was charged in a 23 count indictment, including charges of money laundering, mail fraud, perjury and obstruction of justice. It’s reported Fabian, a former Bush Pioneer, allegedly ran a scheme that netted him millions of dollars which were used to purchase beach front property and travel. The Romney campaign said they would return Fabian’s $2,300 campaign donation, but not funds donated by others through him. Fabian stepped down from Romney’s campaign shortly after his August 9th indictment."

But yes, the media is clearly way too pro-Hillary. *gag*

"If he wasn't part black there would be no Obama campaign at all, its all he's got."

I'm afraid you may be right. Every time he opens his mouth to speak, I'm embarassed for him. I just can't find any other explanation for him managing to get as far as he has.

[templar knight]

Hillary got hammered? Hell, boy, that was a feather pillow she got hit with. Are you drunk? As for the media, they want Romney to be the Republican nominee, as he will be the easiest to defeat. Then they hammer him. Am I going to fast for you, son, or can you keep up?

llama:
Romney is not the front-runner. The front-runner gets the most press, always, and negative stories lead. They can't do stories about how great someone is, its not news (unless we're talking about Obama, then that's all they report).

If Romney gets to be the front-runner, he'll get bashed plenty. They are 'ignoring him' because he's not a likely nominee.

BTW, how did you read about his campaign guy getting busted? It was reported, right? That's not exactly "ignoring" Romney, even if it didn't get the play you'd like. The fact is, people are interested in, and know, Hillary! and Guiliani and McCain. Most people still don't even know Romney is running- I know, I talk to 'normal' (non-political junkie) people and they have vaguely heard of him, but that's about it. Stories that have legs are about people and issues other people care about. No one cares about Romney right now, so it doesn't get the play a Hillary! or Rudy, or even Fred or John Edwards story does.

The relative ferocity with which the press rides someone is in direct correlation to how important they are in the race. It would be a piece of cake to slam Gravel or Ron Paul, they are a non-factor so the press doesn't bother.

I watch the video and thought who would even report this as a news story?
Anything the msm can do to her name in the news so they can report
her amazing come back in Jan.08 What a crock!

[seekeronos]

As long as we are chawing on conspiracy theories... I'll call it a close race between Romney (Illuminati via his Mormon connections) and Clinton (Illuminati via her hubby)

After all, the Bush/Kerry race was nothing but a contest of two Illuminati (Skull and Bonesers, to be exact), as was the Bush/Gore run before it.

Just follow the trail - every race since Reagan left office has seen an Illuminati disciple or affiliate fill the office.

With the Illuminati-controlled MSM, this election is as locked up as anything the Soviet Union ever put out. It's only a matter of sorting out who is Punch and who is Judy.

[DANEgerus]

I think it just proves Hillary can't spit that far... she reverted to instinct and went face down on a fold.
