Hell hath no fury like a media scorned [Karl]

AMERICAblog’s John Avarosis blogs what his comrades in the establshment media wish they could broadcast regarding Hillary Clinton’s Quixotic campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination:

Go away you horrible human being 

IT’S NOT CLOSE.  YOU FREAKING LOST THE NOMINATION, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?  —  Good God.  What is wrong with her?

Thomas B. Edsall rounds up some of the more polite media versions of this sentiment in “Hillary Agonistes: Why Doesn’t She Concede?”  Edsall could have thrown in Jonathans Alter and Chait for good measure, as well as Dana Milbank, who invoked Monty Python’s “Parrot sketch” to describe the mortality of her candidacy.  The establishment media is increasingly miffed that Clinton did not take the advice of their morning chat shows and punditry last week.

In contrast, Democratic voters are not concerned that Clinton remains in the race:

Among Democrats, Obama is ahead slightly as 45 percent say they want to see him win the nomination while 41 percent want to see Clinton as the nominee. And Democrats say 63 – 34 percent that Clinton should stay in the presidential race.

By a 60 – 33 percent margin, Democrats say Obama should pick Clinton as his vice presidential running mate.

“Sen. Hillary Clinton’s never-say-die campaign still has lots of fans. Just as in delegates, states, money, you-name-it, Obama leads her in national support – but only by a bit,” said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

Gallup came up with fairly similar numbers last week.  Putting Clinton on the Democratic ticket might well be a bad idea, as it might diminish Brack Obama’s changitude in the same way that making Condoleeza Rice a veep pick might increase Johnny Maverick’s McSameyness factor.  But ignoring what Democratic voters think merely underscores the degree of hostility the media has to the subjects of the story they are purporting to cover.

Clinton has more delegates than any second-place candidate ever.  Jesse Jackson was not forced out in 1988 — and the establsihment media did not howl for him to leave, either.  Indeed, one wonders what the establishment media would be saying today if the delegate counts were reversed.

    Were the delegate counts reversed, we would be hearing even more about racism, and count every vote.

  2. kelly says:

    It is to laugh. Now they hate her. It’s revealing that the press now prefers one type of Democrat genitalia over the other when handing out the copious tongue-baths.

  3. Mikey NTH says:

    It means that they are terrified about what she will do, what she will unleash, what she can expose when they are dedicated to electing any Democrat to replace the evil Bushitler regime. She is allowing McCain to go about and raise money and act presidential in front of those low-information (not a political junkie) voters; while Sen. Obama has to spend money and stay exposed. These late primaries could be buried and the problems Sen. Obama has wooing certain voters could be hushed up. Instead, those results get national airtime and all the internal cracks in the Democrats get exposed, with less time to patch them over if she would just leave.

    She won’t leave – if associates mean anything she hangs with James Carville. What did Milbank and the rest think she was like if she willingly associated with people like that? Carville makes Rove look like an Ewok!

  4. JD says:

    Not even close?! Math is not one of their strong suits apparently. The percentage difference between them in delegate counts and popular vote is closer than the Gore and Kerry losses.

  5. You know what would be funny is if she managed to pull out a convention win and ended up the nominee. What would these guys do then? Fall in line, even if they can’t fall in love? Bet ya they’d bury all this and put on a happy face, just to beat the hated Republicans.

  6. Rick Ballard says:

    JD,

    Doesn’t it kinda makes you wonder what her hole card might be? She gave a pretty clear signal when she dumped a few million of Bubba’s bribery receipts into the campaign. I guess the press needs it in crayon on butcher paper.

    Size 14 clown shoe or 3″ stiletto heel? There’s gonna be another shoe dropping, we just don’t know size or style.

  7. kelly says:

    “The percentage difference between them in delegate counts and popular vote is closer than the Gore and Kerry losses.”

    Which can only mean the Rethuglicans are cheating. Oh, wait a sec…

  8. kelly says:

    I beg to differ, CT.

    If the Hildebeast (aka Nixon in a pantsuit) wrangles the nom, blacks stay home. Big time. JMacDaddy waltzes into the WH. Ugh.

  9. JD says:

    kelly – Hill has the wrong equipment, and I guess they did not like the taste of her strap-on. Apparently the media is a bunch of sexists too.

  10. sashal says:

    this Aravosis guy, became shrill and pathetic.
    I remember the times when he was quite readable.
    Now he completely lost his bearings.
    And ,kelly,I am not surprised that he hates women..

  11. JD says:

    Rick – This is like watching a well directed performance of I Pagliaci.

  12. Pablo says:

    kelly, it’s going to suck. The only question now is how bad.

  13. Topsecretk9 says:

    Been super addicted to Larry’s Johnson blog lately for the blue on blue nastiness, but this is the response I guess upon hearing of the Edward’s endorsement

    To the Democratic Party: GO fuck youselves.

    Well, you already are. You’re just too stupid to know it.

    – Speaking for myself (SusanUnPC) but I have invited fellow writers to join in with their own statements as they wish

  14. kelly says:

    Well, the media is doing a lot of sucking these days, Pablo. It’s less embarrassing watching actual pron, fercryinoutloud.

    JD — I’m unfamiliar with this “strap-on” you speak of. Is it better defined in your newsletter?

  15. thor says:

    Hillary got owned by a Negro.

  16. kelly says:

    The Magic Negro.

  17. Big Bang Hunter (pumping you up) says:

    “JD — I’m unfamiliar with this “strap-on” you speak of. Is it better defined in your newsletter?”

    – I have it on good authority its color coordinated with her matching nutsac purse she keeps Bills balls in.

    – The O! camp missed the racial express, trying desperately to force her out before the racial polarization set it. Now its too late for them to get out front of that 700 lb. gorilla in the room. He made a beeline for Mich. today to try to shore up his popularity with the blue collar crowd, but its too little too late. Shes got her stiletto heals firmly in his neck, and shes not going anywhere. So now the problems escalate for the Dembulbs.

    – They can’t figure out what to do with Florida and Mich., whose count would just narrow the margin even more, particularly in the popular vote count. They have to seat them or kiss their political asses goodbye, but to do so makes her position even stronger, and his lead is narrow as it is. They’re simply trapped.

    – Fuck the press. Their effects in this disaster of a Dem primary is lost in the sea of identity politics the Dems are drowning in.

    – What does he do about announcing a running mate now. If he end runs her it will be a spectacle to see at the convention when he introduces his non-Hillery pick in front of 4000 screaming feminists.

    – At the least, she goes into the convention with a record number of delegates under her thumb. Talk about a floor fight and a brokered convention. It would make Chicago look like a Sunday picnic. There have been some classic bloodbaths at past conventions, and not one of those candidates ever had anything approaching the delegate power she already has. Baracky’s people must be bleeding at the eyes, trying to figure a clean way out of this catastrophe.

  18. Pablo says:

    kelly,

    Well, the media is doing a lot of sucking these days, Pablo.

    I’m referring to our next president. Once again, the lesser of 2 evils.

  19. JD says:

    thor never could get Hill’s strap-on to spit for him, hence his devotion to Baracky and Vick.

    The Magic Negro.

    The Magic Negro who made Hillary disappear.

  21. Dewclaw says:

    I for one am enjoying the blue-on-blue warfare and the absolute screeching of lefty howler monkees (oops…) at each other. The only thing that would make it better is when the gloves come off and they start slinging the monkey shit at each other…

    …hard.

    Granted, McCain suxxors… but I am inclined to believe he is slightly better than the two leftard canidates.

  22. McGehee says:

    O! The Uniter is a divider.

  23. McGehee says:

    From the link in #22:

    However, if Clinton does not win the Democratic Party nomination, 29% of Democrats say she should run an Independent campaign for the White House.

  24. thor says:

    Pretty funny, JD. Can’t I like who I want to like without being cast as one who’d suck on Hillary’s strap-on dildo?

    I think you know, deep down, that nobody wants to beat Hillary in the face with a rubber jumbo dong more than I.

  25. LiveFromFortLivingRoom says:

    It is a sad political season when I am hoping for Hillary to win just so I could sit this one out and watch the Republican go down in well deserved flames.

  27. Big Bang Hunter (pumping you up) says:

    – I’m not sure, but she may already be ahead in popular vote after last night, but in any event she will be after Kentucky, and O! is running out of opportunists like the Breck Girl to try to offset really crushing news.

    – It will just get more interesting as time goes on, particularly now that the mask has fallen of the touchy feely party of the big tent, and the most racial of modern elections unfolds. The reality based community, finally forced to actually face reality instead of just yammering about it.

  28. Mikey NTH says:

    BBH: It would make Chicago look like a Sunday picnic.

    It would make fricking Vimy Ridge or Monte Cassino look like a day in the park. All of those delegates, altogether in one place, all available to be massaged or ‘massaged’ (in a Runyonesque way). Jeff – stockpile the liquor and the Maalox – I think there will be a shortage in Colorado this summer.

  29. thor says:

    You’re pretty good at math, eh Big Bang Hunter.

    O!

  30. Mikey NTH says:

    For ‘Runyunesque’ see Fat Tony. “You are being very uncooperative, Mr. Smith. Maybe you should conversate with Legs for a few minutes and you may be able to see the attractiveness of Senator Clinton much more clearisily.”

  31. Big Bang Hunter (pumping you up) says:

    – I feel your pain thor, and I want you to know I’m enjoying every minute of it. Bon Appitite’

  32. LiveFromFortLivingRoom says:

    I wonder if thor realizes that he is one of those evil racists? Oh wait a minute they are all voting for John McCain anyway according to Obama’s spokespeople.

  33. thor says:

    I’m a double stuffed Oreo bigoted rainbow racist. I dig McCain and Obama.

  34. jdm says:

    Am I misunderstanding something? You all know that it because the race is so close that so many in chattering class want Hillary! to step down, yes? So they can Move On from stabbing her in the back to starting the campaign (in earnest) of stabbing McCain in the back. I mean, hello.

    Very few Boomers have any recollection of the traditional brokered conventions, the smoke-filled rooms, and the uncertainty that used to pervade conventions. When it was important who the great state of Utah went for. The fact is, also, if Obama doesn’t get his nomination on the first round of voting, nobody is bound to anything (think Democrats 1952.

    I might mention that I heard an interview with Larry O’Donnel (sp?) who opined that while Hillary! will see the primaries out, she has already given clear signs that she is stepping back. I don’t know if this is true, I’m just passing it on.

  35. Mikey NTH says:

    Has anyone told Hillary, and more important – has anyone seen Larry since then?

    Of course, if the Michigan and Florida delegations are not seated the Democrats will have the first 48-state convention since the 1950s. Talk about regressive!

  36. Mcgruder says:

    yeah, it is an amusing sport, watching Clinton soldier on in the face of her certain doom. She earned it.

    But the Dems just took a house seat in Mississippi. Dudes, if the GOP cant carry seats in Mississippi during wartime, I think there are some deep problems.

    Rest Assured: the Dems will always surface some deep left, semi-fellow traveller sort of progtard that Dan C. will julienne and Jeff G. will deconstruct. JG will be BUSY during the convention.

    But if the GOP has to fight for Mississippi and the like, I really, really don’t like our chances in the fall.

  37. thor says:

    Of course Hillary is stepping back. She’s a low-IQ attention whore with a vagina full of leeches. That blech, Chelsea had to spike her Summer’s Eve just to slow the blood suckers living in her belly.

    Come Christmas fuckin’ Hillary will ask Santa to fix her overbite and to do a double ankle tuck on her pig feet. “That’s why they hate me!”

  38. kelly says:

    “I’m referring to our next president. Once again, the lesser of 2 evils.”

    Had you all the way, man. The whole prez contest and its denouement sucks. Bad.

  39. Carin -BONC says:

    Sorta OT, but related, but if you want to see racism, you gotta come to Detroit. City Council member JoAnn Watston to Kwame Kilpatrick regarding the possibility of Jennifer Granholm deciding his fate:

    Didn’t Marion Barry come back?” she asked, referring to the former Washington, D.C., mayor who was videotaped using crack. “He resigned and came back! You can resign and come back.”

    “Nobody wants a white woman in Lansing to decide the fate of a black man in Detroit. That’s why I’m begging you to resign.”

    How would that sound in reverse?

  40. The Lost Dog says:

    “Comment by thor on 5/14 @ 6:11 pm #

    I think the only person you really “dig” is thor. Just how cool do those hippy chicks look without their bras?

    (I could tell you, but I won’t. It’s all yours, “thor”).

  41. kelly says:

    “But if the GOP has to fight for Mississippi and the like, I really, really don’t like our chances in the fall.”

    You won’t get much sympathy from this crowd, “our” notwithstanding.

  42. Mikey NTH says:

    Considering that Jennifer Granholm was the candidate of the Wayne County Democratic machine (see Ed McNamara) that says a lot. Carin, Detroit is stuck in the 1970’s; the best hope they had was Dennis Archer and they ran him out. They have to keep falling, though anyone with sense bugged out long ago. Even the black middle class fled for Southfield years ago, and the rest are following them.

    A few years ago I did Coast Guard road patrols along the river. Del Rey was interesting – for the front walks that went to nowhere, and the wastelands around Fort Wayne and the Mistersky power plant were eye opening. Where thousands lived and worked forty years ago – nothing. Boom town, ghost town.

    But hey, the Red Bull airplane races will be on the river at the end of May and I will be on patrol for that. Then the fireworks and the Gold Cup races. Good times, good times. (And CG station Belle Isle has a great cook!)

    Hippy chicks don’t even own bras, that’s what makes ’em hippy chicks. Key to getting what you want is to loan a hippy chick weed money when they’re dry, or for rent. I like to crush their zen by making ’em keep their hands on the table and their feet on the floor as I pour candle wax down the crack of their asses. Hippy chicks hate that.

    (I could tell you, but I won’t. It’s all yours, “thor”).

    You’re one strange dude, thor. That’s all I got.

  46. So, Mr. Aravosis was just copacetic with the Clintons, back when they were draggin the honor of the office of the Presidency through the trailer park mud. But now he’s outraged? Because instead of America, it’s the Democrat party that’s getting the black eye? *shakes head*… I can’t question his patriotism or anything, can I?

  47. Mcgruder says:

    #41 Kelly.
    not sure i take your point, but i just got back from a hilly 10k, so maybe I’m addled.

    Obama cant give away free beer in Wheeling, granted, or anywhere his Roccoco Harvard Law shit isn’t swooned over. But that pales in comparison to the problems McCain will have in the autumn if he has to guard his southern flank.

    But then, a Dem white house would be a full employment act for Karl/Darleen/Jeff/Dan and The Sanity Inspector.

  48. ahem says:

    It’s too soon to be giving up. Mc Cain will kick whoever’s ass–particularly Obama’s.

  49. jdm says:

    So would a McCain White-house. Sounds to me like a win-win!

  50. troy mcclure says:

    It’s sputtering zombified rage, like that expressed by John “America” Aravosis, is amusing. I lost any possible sympathy when he chose after the 7/7 attacks to blame them on supposed Administration leaks; the previous August (instead of the Pakistani ISI and Army sources, that appeared in the actual story; that undermined Operation Crevice, which was investigating the likes of Khan, Tanweer, et al.

  51. If the Hildebeast (aka Nixon in a pantsuit) wrangles the nom, blacks stay home. Big time. JMacDaddy waltzes into the WH.

    Yeah I would expect to see that too, but I bet the press and all these lefties making angry noises will turn sweet all the sudden if she gets the nod.

  52. thor says:

    #45

    I’m joking.

    Cynn and I were PW-dating until I found out that she was a Jew-hatin’ hippy chick. I like hippes, but you have to toss a lot of frisbee with ’em to find out if they’re truly coming from a peace-filled tent.

  53. Mikey NTH says:

  55. TmjUtah says:

    Mikey NTH :

    It would make fricking Vimy Ridge or Monte Cassino look like a day in the park. All of those delegates, altogether in one place, all available to be massaged or ‘massaged’ (in a Runyonesque way). Jeff – stockpile the liquor and the Maalox – I think there will be a shortage in Colorado this summer.

    I agree. The Left has invested too much in anger to let Denver pass without an Iconic Moment.

    I think there will be blood, and fire.

    But on topic: why should Hillary even begin to withdraw from this race? The point about having more delegates than Jackson did is valid, as are the facts that the DNC rules that established Super Delegates (ates… ates….ates…) and even more importantly the rules and decisions that have led to the Florida and Michigan situations have made it plain that the Democrat party is about democracy last.

    I’d stay in the race. Back when Senator Obama was a handsome black man giving a good speech at the 2004 convention, everybody just knew that Hillary would be coming down the pike and have to face the impressive population of skeletons in her closet. Here it is 2008, the same handsome black guy has maneuvered himself into the closest thing to a “winner” that a smart gaming of the process can achieve. Amazingly enough, it has turned out that he doesn’t have just skeletons but rather a mass graveyard of terrorists, chowderheaded campus commies, race pimps, and Chicago hacks just spilling out the back of the Obama Express.

    We don’t know who else can pop up on Obama. Hillary may not know. But she is sitting on the big numbers in the big states that anyone looking to be elected president must have, and each of the last three days has brought actions and statements by McCain that make it near impossible for any conservative to vote for him, even in self defense.

    The critical conflict isn’t which Dem candidate has the most delegates right now, or even when the convention begins. The challenge that the DNC faces is inspiring the party to unify behind the candidate that can win… without hamhanding the act and chasing the black folks home in a huff.

    It’s a beautiful thing. Identity politics, the pressure of media bias turned inward on the movement it is biased in favor of, and all the time the calendar pages flipping forward faster and faster like some noir classic.

    If McCain would just STFU he could win this, whichever candidate pops out the butt of the Democrat political process. But he won’t and by the time the Super Delegates (ates…ates…ates…) fulfill my basest prediction and go for Obama to save their own electoral bacon, knowing he will lose, and the only winners will be the press which will misrepresent the race as between the youthful Change candidate and Establishment, when the race will really pivot on whether enough conservatives can refrain from puking long enough to cast a McCain vote.

    Either way, this election kills the Republican Party. I wonder what will follow, because I’m sure as hell am not going libertarian.

  56. Mikey NTH says:

    TMJ: Yes, I agree that right now McCain is going out of his way to anger issue conservatives. Unusual behavior unless he either thinks (or has polling data to know) that those he is angering will be off-set by others. We who comment on blogs are a minority. We know that, we see the same handles across the blogosphere. Counting out the Nor Laupians, we are still small in number. There are vast numbers of low informaiton (i.e., call me after Labor Day) voters out there.

    The Democratic fight is getting them polarized before they want to, McCain is still in the wings. Politically speaking, he is at ‘Point Luck’ on the Democrats’ flank. Who is a unifier? He is. Who has reached across the aisle? He has. Who is the unimpeachable patriot? He is. Who will not sell the troops down the river, who will hawkishly look ater the USA’s foreign interests? He won’t and he will (his sons are in the military and one has been deployed). Christ, between Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton they are paving a Royal Road for Sen. McCain.

    There are still people out there who do not think Kent State was a tragedy, or if it was it was only because the Ohio N.G. didn’t lay down mortar fire behind the group they were firing on.

  57. The Lost Dog says:

    A lot of ground to cover here, so let’s get started…

    “But the Dems just took a house seat in Mississippi. Dudes, if the GOP cant carry seats in Mississippi during wartime, I think there are some deep problems.”

    If the “purported” GOP were to look in a mirror, they wouldn’t be able to see anything at all, because they have their greedy little pinheads so far up their asses that they will need a tow truck to extract them. Greedy fucks are not my idea of “representatives, and apparently, most of America agrees with me. The GOP is absolutely screwed. And, as I think I have amply demonstrated, I ain’t no lefty, by a long shot.

    Next.

    “Kwame Kilpatrick”? You’ve got to be kidding me! Someone made this name up, right?

    And last but not least, on to thor.

    “Hippy chicks don’t even own bras, that’s what makes ‘em hippy chicks. Key to getting what you want is to loan a hippy chick weed money when they’re dry, or for rent. I like to crush their zen by making ‘em keep their hands on the table and their feet on the floor as I pour candle wax down the crack of their asses. Hippy chicks hate that.”

    Actually, thor, the ones I’ve known LOVE that stuff. You are just pouring that parafin on the wrong parts.

    But, hey! We can be MUCH more creative than that, and when I was about 100 years younger than I am now, I WAS more creative than that. Once you get thr “rep”, you have to beat them off with a stick.

    I miss those days when I had no idea how much trouble “doing” everything with hair that moved would cause. I think my worst day was when my girlfriend came home unexpectedly, and her dog started licking my butt while I was in “flagrant delecto” with another hippy-dippy girl. I tried to get my girlfriend to lick my butt, too, but she was way too pissed off.

    Not one of my better days, I would have to say…

    I would have to say, I was old enough to know better, but still too young to care (h/t Wade Hayes).

    Hard to believe that I am actually posting this, but my psyche is sometimes quite complicated.

  58. thor says:

    Now that the name The Lost Dog fully explained, you should have kept that dog. Weirdos pay top dollar for that kind of action in Denmark.
