Hillary and Barack: The photo album
Here are a few choice screenshots from the Hillary-Barack exchanges during the SC debate. It’s a caption contest bonanza. Have at it!
Battle of the Death Stares.
Talk to the hand.
No, you talk to the hand.

Meantime, CNN readers are revolting against the race-gender pander at the liberal network’s website. Schadenfreude–catch it!
Within minutes of posting a story on CNN’s homepage called “Gender or race: Black women voters face tough choices in South Carolina,” readers reacted quickly and angrily.
art.1858.obama.hill.jpgReaders want media to focus more on the candidates and how they feel about the issues not their gender or race.
Many took umbrage at the story’s suggestion that black women voters face “a unique, and most unexpected dilemma” about voting their race or their gender.
CNN received dozens of e-mails shortly after posting the story, which focuses largely on conversations about Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama that a CNN reporter observed at a hair salon in South Carolina whose customers are predominantly African-American.
The story states: “For these women, a unique, and most unexpected dilemma, presents itself: Should they vote their race, or should they vote their gender?” Read the story
An e-mailer named Tiffany responded sarcastically: “Duh, I’m a black woman and here I am at the voting booth. Duh, since I’m illiterate I’ll pull down the lever for someone. Hm… Well, he black so I may vote for him… oh wait she a woman I may vote for her… What Ise gon’ do? Oh lordy!”
Tiffany urged CNN to “pull this racist crap off” the Web site and to stop calling Hillary the “top female candidate.”
“Stop calling Barack the “Black” candidate,” she wrote.
Many readers were upset that the story did not delve beyond a cursory mention of the issues.
The article stated: “While race and gender play a role, most women here say they plan to vote based on the issues. They rank health care, education and the economy in order of importance.”
The salon owner, Angela Jackson, a Clinton supporter, is quoted as saying: “They don’t pay my bills. And they’re not attached to my belly. Nobody is attached to my belly but me. They don’t feed me, clothe me. I don’t care what they think. … She’s a woman, I’m a woman.”
A reader named Joan e-mailed: “Really CNN, is this how you view black women[?] Are you suggesting that white women are going to have it easier [?] How about issues? Should a black woman consider the candidates position on issues, or should we just stick to race and gender. Disgusting!”

This debate will likely be remembered as “The Great Donkey $h!t Fight of 2008″
First picture

Obama “Dang it Hillary you keep stealing my change and my ideas”
Second Picture
Hillary “Stop right there, talking about my record is off limits because it hurts women and i might cry.
Third picture
Obama “You stop, your being racist and anyone who does not vote for me is a racist”
I wish a black republican/conservative would get a townhall meeting together with black democrats and ask them why they vote democrat.
I wish this would become a huge movement all over the country.
Can you imagine what each was shouting in their heads about the other at the end of the best debate I have ever seen! Who knew the hurricane season was upon us?
Bingo!! It just shows us what simpletons the Dems think comprise their voter base. Even with the few that were awake enough to realize it!
Sadly, in most cases, they are right. Look at the comments on DU or Kos. Tells you all you need to know.
The see their lips moving and nothing intelligent is coming out!
I get that a lot..from women.
Question is, did BIll make it through the debate without passing out? I think the Wal Mart Jab Barack threw at Hillbillary followed by the overhand right on not knowing who he’s running against (Bill or Hill) scored a knock out. Hair didn’t even equate so he’s been handed his hat. Will he put it on and leave?
CNN has to write stories like this one for they’ve yet to ask the Democrats tough questions on the issues and have nothing else to fill their “news” reports with.
But hey, if the Democrat voters wanted their candidates to answer the tough questions, they would have demanded they debate on Fox News.
I guess a Clinton/Obama ticket is out of the question?
Nice to see people revolting against the template the media tries to feed us.
It’s insulting to suggest that people are only able to view others through race or gender. To assume that no analysis of issues could possibly inform the judgement of black Americans or women is racist and sexist. How can the Left not see what hypocritical douchebags they are when it’s staring them right in the face?
The response to CNN only proves that the network is dumbed down, not its viewers. Their reporters need to get a life.
I’m just a white male and they wont let me join the democratic party. I don’t want to join there party anyways.
I’ll join the republican party where they let me have beer, cigarettes and guns.
Which is funner drinking rum smoking a cigar and firing a 50 cal, or sitting in meeting be declared a racist that should feel guilty because I’m white.
hate to say it but romney/huck/mccain et al. look like midgets compared to the democrats.
they handled themselves well tonight. all of them projected-presidential.
we are in trouble.
When your ideology is a conglomeration of conflicting ideals it becomes rough water to negotiate in order to properly phrase your questions. One little slip up a teenie tiny oversight and bam, there you are lying naked in front of the alter of race and gender politics. I love it when that happens.
First photo,
My husbands going to kick your…
First photo: “Have you ever heard of Arkancide? We also have Hsuicide as an option.”
Vote for race or gender? Wow, such a choice! Hey, I’ve got an original idea, you democrats? How about voting on the issues? Nah, you’re right, too complicated for democrats.
You can’t be serious.
Schadenfreude I Love it!
Race v. Gender = royal flush
The other part of the CNN headline/article is: of course black women in SC only have two choices - Hillary or Obama (not Edwards, a white male) AND certainly not a Republican!
Wait a minute! Why isn’t this a fair subject? Didn’t Oprah’s female viewers shut her Obama support down? Me thinks women and blacks protest too much. Find a black woman who thinks for “herself” and owns her own business who is hot for Romney. Let her debate with the other women in her beauty shop and I will be more convinced that this race/gender issue is dead.
It appears CNN has failed to understand how most Americans think. Race and gender mean nothing for most of us in the real-world and hopefully they are learning that lesson by the pushback they are experiencing from the poor attempt at journalism.
“She who must not be named” looked like the clawing scratching bitter hateful backstabbing shrew many of us have come to know and fear since the Clintons waltzed onto the national political stage. Once again we observed the Democrats plan to fix the world’s ills by using the tried and failed policy of throwing more of our money at the problem. Not one of them has a clue about the threats facing this nation’s security or economy while continuing to bribe the masses with more government handouts to buy votes.
I wish Edwards would just drop out. He’s an annoying distraction. I found myself hating it whenever they let him talk last nite (other than that he’s a broken record) because it was a reprieve for Obama and Hillary to regroup while he prosletizes on poverty. A two hour total slugfest between Obama and Hillary, with no Edwards time for them to regroup, would have been better.
That was a major cat-fight last night!
Cat-fights aren’t that personal.
The Democrat party is devoid of morals or substance so whats left?
Not much.
More feedback on the debate I didn’t watch who knew they were going to wake up?

Well if you are looking for a president to vote for because she is not a he or he’s not her or who will fight with err for you, you might have found your candidate somewhere in there. The question on healthcare for invaders, hey, no one is illegal so of course no illegals qualify, nuance people, nuance. How about the question regarding international jihadism, What? There wasn’t one, hmmm imagine that. I don’t know about the rest of you but I prefer a candidate that is a good finger pointer and buck passer someone who can appear interested while in reality they are completely disinterested, that always screams “presidential timber” with me.
Based on intense scrutiny I now believe the first photo sez… just wait until my husband gets up from his nap, you are in big trouble.
Thank goodness I did not watch last night’s “debate”! Getting second hand or even third hand news about it is all I can take. Whatever internal forces make people vote for these candidates must truly be magical! They must hold their breaths, close their eyes tight, and blank their minds to act zombie-like and vote democrat, especially given these candidates to choose from. Ugh!
Edwards is really a pathetic figure, pretending that he is a serious contender for the White House. The NY Times on Sunday did an article about Edwards and how both Edwards believe it is his destiny to be president. Therefore he has no plan B. He has to keep running. He has nothing else in life that interests him. He certainly does not want to go back to some small courthouse in Ashville doing a botched nose job case against some obscure plastic surgeon.
