Just when you thought the Clintons and Barack Obama couldn't get any nastier

"I kind of like to see Barack and Hillary fight"-Bill Clinton

Move over, Hatfields and McCoys.

That blood feud is looking downright civil compared with the trash talk in the Democratic duel between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, which took on the ring of schoolyard taunts the day after a debate melee in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

"Sen. Obama is very frustrated. The events of the last 10 or so days ... have apparently convinced him to adopt a different strategy," cracked Clinton, who appeared the morning after to revel in the bareknuckle brawl.

"He clearly came [Monday] night looking for a fight and he was determined and launched right in," she added.

"I wasn't looking for a fight," Obama retorted. "What I'm looking for is a correcting of the misstatements that have been coming out of the Clinton camp."

I hope Osama Obama stays in this a lot longer.

The ill-will generated by Bill and Hill's attacks on him can come to no good in November.

Hillary is the “Queen of Nasty”, we are just blessed that the Nasty surfaced in the Democrat Primary than in the general election first.

Bill and Hill started this to deflect negatives away from HILL so she can skate along. Same tactic was used by them in the Clinton elections to divert attention from the scandals. The MSM gobbles it up and assists in the scam. Morris has a good take on it as he helped plan the first Klintoon sessions years ago. See his latest article.

“Obama backer Tom Daschle, the former Democratic Senate boss, whacked the ex-President yesterday for his “overt distortions,” which he branded unpresidential and warned could “destroy the party.”

Really??? Has Daschle been living under a rock? His concerns for the ‘party’ are a little belated. These are the same clowns who propped Billy Boy up during his two romps through the WH. Bill’s supporters white washed all the filth and irregularities....but are concerned now???? Duhhh??

The Clintons are like schoolyard children. They taunt and throw mudballs, but when it comes back at them, they whine and cry.

Like high school kids! They don’t even behave as adults, much less leaders.

***The Clintons are like schoolyard children***

Correction: schoolyard BULLIES!

They truly are pathetic and pathologic. I really believe they hate everybody, each other and especially other American citizens.

Somewhere, some time in their twisted psyches - someone did them wrong.

You need to cut them a break. It takes a lot more manufactured sleaze to entertain the masses these days.

****Bill likes to watch... the twisted freak.****

Isn’t that the most frightening statement from a former POTUS, a husband & father???

Must be that he is happy to see Hellary abusing someone other than himself.

I am still getting emails from the Obama camp, asking for money, and I keep writing back: Why? I don’t give money to the people who run to come in 2nd or third. You get Hillary against the ropes and then walk away. You’re in the big leagues and still sparring. Hillary’s attacks get more racial and underhanded, and you’re playing to be her Veep selection.

;-)

Maybe some of the attitude will reach the right ears.

It’s been astonishing the watch the Clintons utterly destroy the greenhorn from Chicago who had such promise. He’s in the big leagues now, and clearly wasn’t prepared for it. By the time he’s done the man from Hope will have ground the senator of hope into fine powder.

Well, Bill was essentially raised by a prostitute, which explains a lot.

I'm not sure what Hillary's deal is.

How right you are - tragically - on FR there’s sleaze, rumors of sleaze and sleazy comments - about GOP candidates.

Not mature, responsible or civil.

We will deserve what we get.

She got flim-flammed by Bill and she is seeking restitution from the American people.

Seems only fair;)

The way this fight is going I would suggest pistols at dawn. However, this is the Democratic primary. The party of gun control. With that in mind, I suggest a thumb fight.

All together now.... one, two, three, four I declare a thumb war!

On a serious note, I agree with the poster above, I hope this goes on long after February 5th Super Tuesday....

His supporters jumped all over this Bradley Effect coming out of NH... White voters automatically recoiled from charges of racism, especially white dems who are oh so proud of their open-mindedness. Hillary’s speech about MLK was factually accurate, but Obama supporters jumped all over it, saying it was racist. Whether the Clintons might have helped plant these seeds is uncertain, but it’s indisputable they’ve decided that the near-fanatical devotion among some Obama voters can be used to hurt him with white voters. And using it they are. In attempting to defend Obama, and condemn the Clintons, these very supporters have reduced the Candidate of Hope into Just Another Black Candidate. I think it’s kind of sad, in a way. But, ultimately, the choices Obama has made and the behavior of his own supporters is what will allow the Clintons’ divide and conquer strategy to be successful.
