Slog - Comments on Denounce or Reject? Pt. 2 http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/03/denounce_or_reject_pt_2 Now, this is funny. Listen to Wolfson on Clinton and Ferraro: Howard Wolfson, Mrs. Clinton’s spokesman, replied that the campaign was “completely unaware” of Mrs. Ferraro’s remarks before she made them. “We did not in any way encourage them,” he said. He noted that when Mrs. Clinton responded to a question about the comments, she “made clear she disagreed with them and she rejected them.” But didn't Clinton make a big deal out of the meaning of the word "reject" when Obama simply "denounced" Louis Farrakhan. "Reject," as a NYT op/ed which defended Clinton's position on the squabble, means to...

But she'll still make a great US Supreme Court Justice.

Can't have it both ways, madam. What was that about the lack of available free rides?

"Denounce" is to express strong disapproval, where "reject" is just to refuse to recognize.

So will Geraldine be hosting an old-timey Pennsyltucky cross burning just in time for the primary?


Free hooded robes for all!

I know they are only human, but to see the negativity, race-baiting, and attempting to change the rules coming from these two really does sadden me.

Because the Clinton campaign could end any day now, and your window of opportunity is disappearing.

there's nothing funny about it. it's really, really sad.

I mean there was his presidency with NAFTA and DOMA and no mpg standards. Then there was the day Gore gave up his supreme court fight after a conversation with Bill. And now this spiral of a campaign trying to discredit Obama and divide the democratic party. But then I saw the conservative hate reel for McCain on Colbert. Now I don't know who is the secret agent for the other party.

“completely unaware” of Mrs. Ferraro’s remarks before she made them. “We did not in any way encourage them,”

makes me absolutely 100% sure that this was a deliberate Clinton campaign ploy?
