They may have knocked her out of the race days ago but that didn't stop them from booing her in Michigan.
The Gorical joined with the Messiah Monday- in a state that will be ruined by Al Gore and Barack Obama's radical environmental agenda. (AP)
The Democrats in Michigan loudly booed when Governor Jennifer Granholm mentioned Hillary Clinton at the Gore-Obama speech.
The AP reported:
Obama and Gore were introduced by Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who backed Hillary Rodham Clinton in the primary. She held up a navy blue pump and said, on behalf of women everywhere, that she was proud to say she's supporting Obama.Keep it classy, democrats.
She was loudly booed at the mention of Clinton's name, and Obama chastised the crowd for that when he spoke. He said he's a better candidate for having run against Clinton.
"She's tough," he said. "That's why this race took so long. She's a fighter. And we need fighters in the Democratic Party because we've got a lot to fight for."
UPDATE: Michael Goldfarb has the video.
Is Al Gore... Eeyore? From Winnie the Pooh?

ReplyDeletebtw, Obama already has plans of restructuring the WH via taking out the Bowling Ally & putting in a Basketball Court.. think he knows something "we the people" don't??
(like this election was fixed from the get go, gah!!)

As has been previously noted, Al Gore appears to be well protected against Global Cooling.
ReplyDeleteDemocrats are pathetic and they don't know who their real fathers are.
ReplyDeleteIf Hillary had been smart, she would have endorsed McShamnesty.
ReplyDeleteThis should obviously help with the Asian vote considering how many chins Gore has.
ReplyDeleteThat sound you are hearing is the sound of the Democratic party splitting.
ReplyDeleteOne somewhat neglected sound from this week. Now all bloggers who do not spout the Obamamessiah line are now to be labeled "conservative" and "right wing".
My sister put it very succinctly when she told me "You just wait, by the time the election is over the Democrats and the MSM will label any and all who do not bow before the Obamamessiah "racists", "haters", "rednecks" "nazis" and the Democratic code words for those terms that they use in "polite company"- "conservative" and "right wing".
So welcome, Clinton supporters! You are now considered dangerous apostates by the Democratic party church of the Obamamessiah and the Goracle and you are now to be lumped in with all us "redneck racist morons". In plainer terms welcome to the hit list!
Someone else brought this up...but I'll bite...
ReplyDeleteJust what makes Al Gore so "bold" in endorsing Obama AFTER he wins the Dem nomination? I guess he figures its safe to come out of his energy hog mansion and put on an act that he and his friends weren't behind Obama all the time anyway! Gutless.
The Democrat Party is not even "trying" to hide their agenda anymore and yet millions still want to put them in charge. Horrifying!
The perfect venue to call for more devastating Liberal Socialist economic policies. And at a rally crammed with AFL-CIO and teacher union activists.
ReplyDeleteMichigan has the worst business climate in the nation, and people are fleeing Detroit faster than New Orleans in the path of Katrina. Michigan was in a recession when the rest of the nation was booming in the last few years.
Note to the tax lovin' Gov. Granholm:
"Not another penny, Jenny!"
Hillary took a page out of the GOP's "Southern Strategy" and ran a bigoted campaign, I would boo her too.

Haven't you ever wondered why every place that has been ruled by the Democrats for decades turns into something that looks like it was a set for a post apocalyptic horror movie?
/channeling Andy Rooney off
Michigan is a poster child for what happens to a place after decades of Democratic and union rule. Corrupt, crime filled, overtaxed and unlivable. Everyone who has the ability to has moved leaving only the "core" Democrat constituencies. Union members, government workers, illegal immigrants, Islamists and those on welfare.
The next state to be totally destroyed by the Democrats will be Minnesota.
BTW-Detroit is the only city I know of where you can buy a $100 house.
That is not the Al Gore that I knew.
ReplyDeleteIn the interest of fairness (I support neither Clinton nor Obama), were the boos really because she was a woman, or because she was a contender who lost? I have a feeling Hillary (though I am definitely not a fan) will be a political power in years to come, much like Teddy Kennedy, so I don't feel a lot of boohoo sympathy for her. This "sexism" stuff should go away, just as the "racism" stuff should.

ReplyDeleteimo it doesn't matter why they boo'd Hillary.. it's obvious they weren't giving her an ounce of credit for the tough fight she alone put up.. while Obama basked the limelight of the MSM & talking heads et al.. who literally fought his battles for him..

My favorite Nobel laureate handled it well. He is smart enough to realize that Hillary supporters are vital to the Obama victory formula.
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be a complete failure of the media and the Democratic Party leadership to understand Hillary Clinton's position from the wider feminist and political perspectives.
ReplyDeleteWould we see those funny but savage videos parodying Hillary such as 'Young Hillary' and 'Barack Obama Hillary Clinton - Umbrella' if she were a man?
It is certainly true that older women, already scarred by their memory of the defeat of the Equal Rights Amendment, are disappointed they won't see a female president for at least a decade. However, they are livid that the support she received from half the party base is demeaned in the press. She also suffers from personal vilification when she has done nothing but support her husband and the country and its healthcare system.
In her second final campaign speech she boldly asserted that all Americans should receive healthcare without exception or excuse. She believed in allocating more money for healthcare than Barack Obama.
“I have been working on this issue not just for the past 16 months, but for 16 years. And it is a fight I will continue until every single American has health insurance. No exceptions and no excuses.”
The Democratic Party is in danger of serious backlash from feminists and idealists within its ranks. Obama cannot be held responsible for the phenomenonas of superdelegates and caucuses (including the absence of both the secret ballot and absentee votes) which seem inherently undemocratic for a democratic party that is true to its name and the Republic.
Obama did not set the rules but he has thoroughly utilized the normal political course of action: a temptation that would have presented itself to Hillary as well, had the media swayed in her favour. Had Hillary won the nomination in the same manner as as Obama did, with a statistically even dead heat, I would have said that Obama's worth and support should have been recognized by her, as Presidential candidate. Obama needs to offer real leadership and spread of responsibility, but it looks increasingly doubtful that he will do so in spite of claiming to want to change the culture of politics.
Embracing the community should have taken precedence over traditional political narrative at a time when readjustment was required. George Bush eroded Englightenment values and believed in the untrammelled power of the Presidency. Moral suasion if it was to be Obama's mark of pride should have begun at home with compromise, ongoing evolution and conscious reconstruction. Instead we are seeing what is in all likelihood a slap to the face of the feminist wing of the party after a voting injustice akin to the Gore-Bush debacle. This issue is not dying quietly amongst the rank and file even with Hillary’s endorsement of Obama.
