The Clinton Thread

[Marx]

I dont see why its even a bad question...

Because Monica Lewisnky has absolutely no place in this campaign! It's just another pathetic attempt to somehow railroad Hillary. I am so sick and tired of people bringing that woman up! Let's all burn Hillary at the stake because she decided to stay with her husband! How in the **** is her credibility somehow damaged because of Monica Lewinsky??? Give me a break! Chelsea answered it exactly how I think she should have.

IT'S NOT ANYBODY'S BUSINESS!!!

It was a Clinton supporter who said all of his friends that don't like Hillary hold that against her and he wanted to give Chelsea a chance to stand up for her mom.

I know who he was and I saw his interview, but I firmly disagree with anyone trying to inject Monica Lewinksy into this campaign. I don't care for what reason, this isn't about Bill's extra curriculars, it's about Hillary. Period.

And anybody that holds the Monica Lewinsky scandal against Hillary is an idiot.

That question about Monica was "WAY OUT OF LINE".....you don't ask someone's daughter that kind of question, no matter who they are........that is just ridiculous.......and she handled herself very well with the question.


And Memphis it has nothing to do with treating her like she's 9. No one is doing that......its about showing some class. The question simply made the guy look like an ass. I saw an interview with him.......maybe some do want to know more of Hillary's feelings on this subject....but you don't ask her freaking daughter.......that is just rude, crude, and socially disgusting....

I agree with you. Absolutely pointless to bring it up.

 

[Marx]

I agree with you. Absolutely pointless to bring it up.

And how disrespectful to Chelsea? I mean, come on. You just don't ask a child something like that about their parents. You know?

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

She should answer the questions if asked. Because she doesn't,it looks like she's the weak link and is just there to make her mother look nice. Also,if she's asked something tough..people might think she might say something wrong..or something she should not say.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Lewinski-gate happened over ten years ago. Some people need to get over it. The whole Monica episode has nothing to do with Hillary running for office. I say good for Chelsea.

That's exactly what I was thinking. It's one thing to ask Bill or Hillary but Chelsea should be left alone. As I said though, the good thing for her is she can just shrug it off and not answer.

 

[Matt]

Where do you get off doing stuff like that? I know what I wanted it to say. Good Grief....

I get off doing it because it is my job to serve the Hype. Your poll was ridiculously biased and would've severely restricted the conversation of Hypsters and eventually turned it into a debate about semantics. Quit trying to force your biases on others. If you're going to make a poll, give everyone a fair chance to speak their voice.

 

[Matt]

That's exactly what I was thinking. It's one thing to ask Bill or Hillary but Chelsea should be left alone. As I said though, the good thing for her is she can just shrug it off and not answer.

If she wants to be left alone, she should stop campaigning. It would be one thing if they showed up at her apartment or place of employment. As it is, she is out on the campaign trail making herself a public figure. Therefore she is fair game. No one is holding a gun to her head and making her answer.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Okay....this is ridiculous. Why is this "woman" still bing treated like she's 9?? She's campaigning for her Mom. She works for a hedge fund!! She 27- years old.

Whats with the quotation marks? How isnt Chelsea a woman? I think she's very much a woman and a lady to boot.

You don't honestly believe that, do you Arkady? Chelsea is very much a force to be reckoned with. I suggest you rethink your own suggestion of her only being there to make her mother "look nice."

I don't think she wants to be left alone, she is actively campaigning in her mother's campaign. Questions about Monica have no business whatsoever in this election.

And that is why she can say "No comment" or "I'd rather not answer that." In a country with a free media, no question, no matter how stupid or off-topic should be off-limits.

While I agree with the "free media" comment, what is a person trying to gain by throwing Monica into the mix again? Absolutely nothing. It's just provoking, nothing more. There is no valid reason to bring that woman up.

I dont mind Chelsea at all but the answer def. came off *****y. He didnt ask if Hillary made Bill sleep on the couch, he didnt ask if Hillary was a good cook ro some sexist crap; he asked if the affair made her stronger. As painful as it might be to think about, if she expected people to act as if it didnt happen she was dreaming more than her mother currently is

I dont know why it was so hard to just say "yes, it has".

He asked her if Hillary's credibility had been damaged, he didn't ask if Hillary became stronger because of it. Chelsea handled it perfectly.

Please, it is a passive aggressive attempt to bring the Lewinski scandal back to the front of people's minds. I am glad it backfired, even though Chelsea shouldn't of "off limits."

It was a question, in regards, to the marital screw up of her dad, in reference, to her mom...


It's not rocket science.....its just IN REALLY BAD TASTE to ask the daughter ANYTHING in regards to her dad's screwing of someone else besides her mom......

 

[The Senator]

I dont see why its even a bad question...



Yes it does

Then someone should ask Barack Obama's daughters if they think daddy's a bad person because he snorted cocaine and smoked marijuana when he was younger.

 

[QueerMike]

Uh, I think Chelsea is going to run for President eventually.

 

[The Senator]

Uh, I think Chelsea is going to run for President eventually.

I highly doubt it. And we're not talking about whether she'll run for President, because there's no indication that she even wants a political life. She hasn't run for office, nor does she plan to. She's just a private citizen.

 

[Excel]

Chelseas much like her father than mother when it comes to how she interacts with people, she could defiently go far.

Then someone should ask Barack Obama's daughters if they think daddy's a bad person because he snorted cocaine and smoked marijuana when he was younger.

When their 27, yes.

 

[hippie_hunter]

When their 27, yes.

No, it would still be inappropriate. Questions like that are just *****ey.
