Simon Heffer - A little bitter are we?
2008-05-14 09:26:00 I've just read Simon Heffer's article in the Telegraph. He's not a happy bunny - not happy at all. He is a little upset that David Cameron is not Tory enough for him. Let's be straight about this; this not Heffer questioning Cameron's motivation - it is an attack on the man Heffer never fancied for the job.This is a bitter little article penned by a man who cannot put his hand up and say "I was wrong". He claims that "the Conservative party still stands for very little". Well if that is true Simon, why are the only policies coming out of this Labour government, policies stolen from the Tories? Even today Brown will be announcing more Tory policies. It is time that Heffer and all the other Cameron haters shut the hell up - it's getting bloody embarrassing.I and many others have joined the Conservative party not because they are traditional Tories. We have joined because we genuinely believe that they have the right ideas for getting the country back on track. Heffer - get a bl...

Bitter WAG Speaks 2 Years Later About Victoria Beckham At The World Cup
2008-05-04 10:01:00 Recognise that woman on the left? Nope, me neither.She is Fiona Barratt interior designer and girlfriend of England footballer Sol Campbell.The girl obviously needs some publicity, as she is now talking about Victoria Beckham 2 years after she encountered her at the World Cup.Here is what she says to the Sun (of all papers) about Victoria.Speaking of the treatment of the WAGs by the paparazzi and reporters during the World Cup in 2006 - when this picture of her was taken - Fiona says: "They had no idea who I was, thought I didn't have a pot to p**s in and had no idea of my background. I didn't care and got on the bus with my Financial Times and my sudoku"."The nonentity WAGs had to walk out first. The higher the profile, the later they were. Of course, Queen Bee Victoria came out last, there being at least ten or 15 minutes before she appeared, and her hair and make-up team were all in the lobby. I sat and watched the whole charade. Victoria Beckham... what a nightmare. She's suc...

When Will it End…? Are Some Democrats Getting Tired and Bitter?
2008-04-25 08:03:00 Democrats in Iowa first started caucusing on January 3rd and after nearly 5 months of elections the race is still not over. How many times have we heard pundits argue that the race would be over after super Tuesday, mini-super Tuesday, or Pennsylvania? Barack Obama spoke in Springfield, Illinois on February 10, 2007 to officially announce his candidacy for president. Hillary Clinton gave her living room “I’m in” speech on January 22, 2007. Nearly a year and a half after this race began, Democrats are becoming agitated and worried. Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, appeared on CNN with Wolf Blitzer and told the remaining undecided superdelegates to make up their mind “starting now”. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid are working hard to prevent what would easily be described as a meltdown in the works. Democratic leaders and members of the party are worried that the longer this race goes ...

Notes from the "Bitter and Frustrated" Heartland
2008-04-22 09:08:00 by Dave Lindorff I find it interesting that among the responses to my recent column about Obamas bitterness and frustration comments regarding rural Americans, those that came from rural folks including from the two towns I mentioned in Upstate New York backed him up. I dont know how this will all play out in Pennsylvanias primary next Tuesday. Im terrible at predicting these things. But I have a suspicion that the people who are in a snit over Obamas comments are either rabid Republicans or are already firmly committed Hillary Clinton fans (who seem perfectly happy to have this $100-million net worth child of wealth and privilege pretend, Bush-like, to be a good 'ol gal). Those who support Obama are unlikely to change their views, and may even become more committed to making it to the polls. In the end, it all could be a ratings-driven media dust-up. But meanwhile. Its worth reading what some country folk have to say about it all. Heres one from observa...

She specifically took aim at MoveOn.org, an online advocacy platform with over 3 million members. Apparently, Clinton was a little salty that MoveOn and other progressive activists threw their support behind Barack Obama so early in the campaign. AUDIO HERE

I'm Just Bitter...Hanging on to My Guns and God
2008-04-17 13:00:00 By Nathan McIntyreI believe in the Bible. I believe that it is the inspired word of God. Perhaps my definition of inspired will differ from yours, nevertheless, it's a good read.Somewhere in between the desert themed Vacation Bible School and five loaves on a flannel graph there is a fabulous passage noting "that from the wellsprings of the heart, the mouth speaks." Basically, it says to keep talking. We'll figure you out eventually.Wholly true for Barack Obama.Speaking to a closed fundraiser in San Francisco, California, last week, Obama said decades of lost jobs and unfulfilled promises from Washington have left some Pennsylvanians "bitter" and clinging "to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."Apparently Sen. Obama has never read any Dale Carnegie, because good Mr. Carnegie took issue with Obama from the get-go.The question was asked why so many in the "heartland"...
Why I Am A Bitter Man
2008-04-17 06:40:00 by Stephen P. Pizzo "Bitter: angry, hurt, resentful, because of one's bad experiences or sense of unjust treatment." Webster's Dictionary. I am a bitter man. I admit it. I'm neither proud nor happy about it. But it's not my fault, either. Eight years ago I was annoyed, but I wasn't bitter. Being annoyed with government is the natural state of the governed. It's the catalyst that keeps politicians paranoid about what we're up to out here while they, hopefully, try to do enough things right to get our vote next time around, even if resentfully. But bitter is a different kind of catalyst. It's the emotion that freed these former colonies from Britain. It's the emotion that motivated American blacks to come together in the 1960s and demand an end to segregation, once and for all. At the turn of the century in Russia bitterness caused the Russian people to put an end to careless, self-indulgent, wasteful monarchy. Before that, in France, bitterness among ...
A blogger broke Obama's "bitter voters" quote
2008-04-17 01:12:00 Who broke Barack Obama's now famous 'bitter voters clinging to guns and religion...' quote he made in San Francisco on March 11? 61-year old blogger Mayhill Fowler, who voluntarily blogs for the Huffington Post. The 61-year-old blogger tore the curtain from the front window of a longtime political refuge - the high-end fundraiser - and the ensuing tumult from her story about the closed-to-the-press event shows how coverage of campaigns continues to be rewritten in the digital age. "What Fowler did was commit an act of journalism," said Marc Cooper, her editor at the Huffington Post and a professor of journalism at the University of Southern California. She did it with a recorder. Blogging/news reporting/journalism morph into the massive media reporting system and we still only see a tiny glmmer of its potential.
Five reasons to be bitter
2008-04-16 23:51:00 I am a 38-year-old, middle-class, black woman. And I am bitter.I am bitter because I am not doing better than my parents did. That is the way it is supposed to work, isn?t it? Each generation is supposed to advance on the achievements of the last. My mother is the product of a working-class family; my father?s parents were farmers. My grandparents did not go to college, but my parents did. They earned bachelors and masters degrees. They became educators and they raised their children in suburban comfort. I did the right things, I think. I went to college and I have a good job, but my hold on middle classness seems ever more tenuous?a constant struggle, a balancing act. I commute more than 40 miles each day and gas is inching toward $4/gallon. The cost of groceries is rising. My husband and I have a heavy tax burden. Our energy bill is outrageous. The car?our only car?needs new rear tires. And my stepson wants to play football with all the associated fees. I don?t need to keep up wit...

Obama calls role-players-gamers bitter: Clinton responds
2008-04-16 18:57:00 Obama mocks a Paladin of Ilmater at a Pennsylvania gathering. Barack Obama drew the ire of gamers across Pennsylvania for making the following comments before the Scranton PS3 club: "Look, you got these guys- umm- they don't have a lot of social interaction- nobody likes them- and they're feeling the pinch from competing role-playing games like the Hero system and even electronic, console-based PS-3- so they're bitter. They cling to their dice- their pencil and paper-based Dungeon and Dragons- probably still using the 2nd edition rules, mind you- I was asking some of my independent graphic prose supporters- 'Can you imagine them telling each other that they want to lower their armor class [laughter]?' ... watching the world pass them by. So it's no wonder that they feel antipathy to people who play Tunnels and Trolls, X-Box, computer games, and Minis- people who weren't there at the beginning. And when a black guy like me comes along, well-umm- they just remember how uncool...

2008-04-16 07:34:00 Recent polls show that Barack Obama has held his own in Pennsylvania and has surged in Indiana. While the “bitter” comment was disappointing, his response was great. The problem with Senator Clinton’s attack is that Obama’s underlying point was 100 percent correct.
Something To Be "Bitter" About For Real
2008-04-16 00:52:00 For anyone still wondering about how legitimate a candidate for president Barack Obama still is after the media circus over you-know-what, I should link to the following interview he gave Will Bunch here noting that he ?is at the least open to the possibility of investigating potential high crimes in the Bush White House,? particularly in light of Bushco?s recent admission here that ?yeah, we tortured people?what are you gonna do about it??And while it is discouraging to see Obama rule out impeachment (it could still be made to happen, honestly), it is at least encouraging to see a possibility that this country will one day be once more a place where the rule of law is paramount over politics.Obama notes the role that his attorney general would play in reviewing the prior wretched legal episodes of this cabal; I?ve been pondering this for a little while now, but I think the person best suited for the role of AG under Obama (someone to clean up the DOJ mess for good, and it would be ...

Bitter Politics: Advantage Obama?
2008-04-15 22:23:00 Barack Obama's "bitter" remarks have gotten an extraordinary amount of coverage in the media over the past few days (such as here, here, and here). Journalists, pundits, and elected officials of all political persuasions have pounced on these remarks and speculated on how adversely they will impact his campaign.Hillary Clinton, for example, has turned the words "bitter" and "cling" into potential political gold by creating a campaign ad slamming Obama as offensive and elitist. She also slammed him at the recent CNN Compassion Forum.John McCain, who stayed far away from the Jeremiah Wright controversy, had no problems jumping in the fray by calling Obama's remarks elitist. Perhaps because class arguments are politically safer than discussing race, "straight talk" is easier for McCain to engage in this time around. Regardless, this episode has surely been good for his fundraising.Regarding the media itself, there are some who are focusing strictly on the word "bitter" as an insult. ...

The Bitter Aftertaste
2008-04-15 20:01:00 The hypersensitivity of this campaign season is getting old. Virtually every week a candidate or campaign staffer says something that is marginally "offensive" to someone. One side feigns outrage, while the other delivers the requisite apologies. These kind of "controversies" are a ridiculous waste of time--this "bitter" situation being the latest example.Some people are bitter, not just in small towns, but all across the country--people who have lost their jobs, their homes. People who watch their bosses get million dollar pensions or see corporate bail-outs as they struggle to maintain the status quo for their families are probably bitter. Recent polls show an overwhelming majority of Americans think the country is heading on the wrong track. While the comments were perhaps somewhat insensitive to the particulars of the situation, they are not wholly out of touch with reality. We've seen a parade of citizens over the past few days proclaiming they are not bitter, but the truth ...

Bitter Monroe will play against Tigers Tuesday
2008-04-15 18:30:00 Monnesota Twins outfielder Craig Monroe used the word "bitter" to describe his sentiment toward the Detroit Tigers on Monday, so it's fair to say he will be especiall y motivated if manager Ron Gardenhire sticks with his plan to play Monroe Tuesday night. "I'm excited to see those guys and talk to them," Monroe said. "I'm also excited to get a chance to do some damage and beat them, too. I'm bitter," Monroe said before the Twins lost 11-9 Monday. "I'm disappointed when I think about the situation.''Monroe had 28 home runs and 96 RBI for Detroit in the 2006 regular season, then hit five more homers that postseason. But they designated him for assignment last August, when he was batting .222, then traded him to the Cubs.

Still More "Bitter" Fallout
2008-04-15 17:49:00 Once again, I truly apologize for dwelling on the faux issue of the moment, but there is such an avalanche of media and political spin out there that some of it must be addressed; the fact that Kristol Mess AND BoBo are both chimed in, for example (the latter today) tells you something.What it tells you, actually, is that our media-political-industrial complex has worked itself into the greatest froth I?ve ever since I started this blog; the only thing comparable was the Terri Schiavo circus, which I fortunately missed (for posting purposes, anyway). And their goal is nothing less that to take remarks uttered by Obama that are absolutely true and use them to make the voters of this country recoil out of umbrage (and of course, since these clowns hold sway over our discourse for the most part, they seem to be doing that).George Will treats us to a hilarious column where he pretends to care about the middle class (sorry, but find your own link if you want).

Hillary, Bitter, Party Splitter
2008-04-15 17:26:00 When politicians run for office on the basis of honesty they expect to be hit by opponents and media discovering something inconsistent in their past. Something they said or wrote a while ago. In the political game it matters little if these things were expressed when circumstances were different. "Gotcha" is all that matters in the eyes of the media and hypocrite opponents. To the extend that voters fall prey to these tactics, they deserve what they get. But the biggest danger, pundits will tell you, is being honest in the face of political correctness. Political correctness is by definition a lie, a facade, an inconvenient truth that might offend somebody. When an honest politician, or one with his guard down, removes the veil and tells the inconvenient truth, the real party begins. It is then when the media have their greatest moment, covering both the offending politician, the hypocrite opponents who... Click on the article title to read the full article. |
