Barack Obama, D-Illinois, said this about the attacks coming his way from Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY:
"You challenge the status quo and suddenly the claws come out," Obama said.
The CLAWS come out? Really?
Then yesterday Obama told reporters who had asked about Clinton's latest attack ad, "I understand that Senator Clinton, periodically when she's feeling down, launches attacks as a way of trying to boost her appeal."
...over at MSNBC, Andrea Mitchell and Norah O'Donnell seemed to suggest Obama may have been -- if not playing the gender card, then using language women voters might find offensive.
Language such as "when she's feeling down" "periodically" she "launches attacks."
Nora O'Donnell: "He said, 'I understand when she's down, that she makes these kinds of attacks.' It's getting a little personal."
Pro-Clinton blogger Taylor Marsh writes that words like this, in her view, indicate "a way of thinking about women. A way of demeaning women in power; even saying we're not up to the job. Seriously, Senator Hillary Clinton is a woman running for president. Not some emotional menopausal diva popping pills because she's depressed she broke a nail."
"Claws"…"feeling down"...I find it hard to envision Obama using the same language if he were facing, say, former Sen. John Edwards, D-NC.

This is funny. Libs have used the weapon of “I feel offended by what you said” for so long that now they get attacked if they open their mouths.
None of this is going to matter. Obama has achieved American Idol status in the democrat kiddie-leftist party. Nothing he says can derail him now. The kiddie-leftists are all swooning for him. Hillary is toast. Hillary is done. Stick a fork in her. The primary is over. Obama is the official Rock Star Nominee of the Treason Party.
Oh, I don't know about that....
Sounds like the claws are coming out
snicker, snicker
Yawn. Must have been a slow news day.
Wow, are the Hillarybots REALLY getting desperate or what? Hillary makes blatenly racists remarks and everyone gives her a pass. Obama uses the word “claws” and the Hillarybots go into hysterics.
Pretty pathetic double standard they want to impose.
This is what happens. What goes around comes around. For years the liberals have used “hate” speech as they define it to squelch conservative arguments.
Guess what? It’s payback time.
....”the claws come out and panties get into a twisted knot”.
How is that sexist? lol
chortle, snort, guffaw
“periodically ...” LOL!
Or that Obama hasn’t done the necessary “spadework”?
Excuse me.... Language such as “when she’s feeling down” “periodically” she “launches attacks.” SHE IS TOO OLD FOR THAT! Post menopausal age. Way past.
At least no opponent can say “Hillary’s slip is showing”. Those gosh-awful pants suits make her look like a hippopottamus...especially the brown one. She would do better to dress like Mrs. Thatcher, the iron lady.
Works for me. Let's set Johnny Boy to some Dire Straits lyrics...
See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy thats his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot hes a millionaire
“Claws” ALL witches have CLAWS. Not just her. LOL
absolutely..the libs perfected hate speech and directed it at their opponents..now, they’re using it on each other..one victim group going after another victim group..ROFL..
LOL...any day now, I expect Hillary to utter the word “niggardly” in a speech.
