Oh no! He can take donations from people that work for a giant corporation, and then still find a way to be critical of that corporation? That's not the kind of man we want in the White House, is it? We want people who suck up to their donors, and know that Corporate America is in charge!

Is this the best the Clinton campaign can do? Enough with this bullshit! Either get ahead by coming out with some nice big ideas, or go home. Sheesh.

Yah... I wouldn't call that a diss. All he did was use Microsoft as an example of a large powerful company. Which it is. He didn't say anything bad about MS, just that it would be hard to launch a competing startup. Which it is. I don't think an analogy based on facts qualifies as "dissing".

A double stand AND sexist!

Good for you.

Woman are "petty". You seldom hear men described that way in politics.

But more importantly it is a double standard. Edwards and Obama have thrown every single charge they can think of at Clinton, big or small. Yet they don't get call it on it.

Clinton fights back and she is smeared as "petty."

the difference b/t the microsoft remark and the Kindergarten remark is that his was made at least somewhat impromptu rather than as a part of a research memo distributed to the media.

So merely using the word Microsoft to allude to a large, wealthy corporation is a dis? Sounds like some world leader I know.

Why do you people love Microsoft so much, again? Employing all of your most stuck up nerdy friends isn't a good enough reason.

(THAT was a dis, BTW.)

Hey Eli, you went to Des Moines this weekend? Are you going to the event tonight?

Just a warning, expect to have an onslaught of Obama supporters posting here. Ben from Politico linked to this post, and his blog is pretty highly populated by us/them, despite his favorable tendencies to Clinton.

Dickie, just because Clinton uses petty politics doesn't mean it has anything to do with her gender. It is possible to view her campaign decisions and the subsequent reactions as unrelated to sexism, feminism or otherwise. Just a suggestion.

Wow, this is the best HRC can do? I wonder why her lead is slipping, oh wait, read the above article.

It would be great to see HRC backtracking on supporting an Iran war, using nuclear weapons, and her vote for the Defense of Marriage act, but instead she backtracks on some mud throwing.

And I don't care how big Microsoft is, its still a big bastard company that would kill orphans if it made them some money. They love a monopoly, like HRC, and will break the law to do it.

Wow a who's who of paid political hacks (all listed as "activists" - who knew activists had big paychecks for showing up?) and the old guard of the Democrat party...maybe Ron Sims can give advice to HillBill on how to win Washington State, given his successful bids for US Senate and Governor! Maybe he can learn some more double bubble talk from HillBill!

Thanks for posting the list of Clinton supporters. I'm making a copy and will be sure to share it. I already had a few of these folks on MY PERSONAL LIST OF WHO NEVER TO VOTE FOR.

Bareback Osama is a giant queefing DOUCHE BAG! Just like the marketing army that keeps Oprah in the right fashions, hair, make-up and diet, Obama/Osama is being marketed in a pretty whitified package! An army of writers and image consultants have now taken over... He has no soul- it has been sold to Oprah and her evil power/money hungry minions!
