Let Obama run without her. Then let her run in 2012 against President McCain. By then, all that will be left of Obama when the GOP is done with him is a Kerryesque grease spot.

she doesn't know why, she just "literally feels that way." yeah, that's some kind of critically insightfull analysis there.

Nancy Giles (born July 17, 1960 in New York City) is an American actress and comedienne. She is a graduate of Oberlin College.

Giles is a writer and contributor to CBS News Sunday Morning. She was the announcer and co-host of the alternative morning show Fox After Breakfast. She starred in two ABC television series, playing girl GI Frankie Bunsen for three seasons on China Beach and hostile waitress Connie on the sitcom Delta. She has had guest roles on shows including The Jury, L.A. Law, Spin City, Law & Order, Dream On, and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. She appeared in the 1985 Broadway production of the musical Mayor.

Giles and a CBS colleague, correspondent Erin Moriarty, have collaborated on two public-affairs radio series under the Giles and Moriarty banner, one for WPHT in Philadelphia and another for Greenstone Media. Both shows were produced at the facilities of the CBS Radio Network.

This is beyond ridiculous and insane.  This is probably going to be the election that will do many a citizen in, with respect to participation.  When you have THIS many morons spewing this PARANOID and crazy sh1t it just makes people disgusted and sit at home.

Yes, it's her opinion, and we're all entitled to have and express them - Abrams asked her what she thought, after all - but is it a given that an opinion is somehow allowed to represent some sort of truth just because someone in a booth pasted the title "Analyst" under her name - or anyone else's name?  Where is the person who, hearing that garbage, should have asked, "Are you seriously sitting her telling us that you think the Senator from New York and former First Lady, the person who came within a hair of being the nominee, actually wants to murder Senator Obama?  Where does someone come up with a `feeling' like that, Nancy, and still be viewed not just as credible, but mentally intact?"

Well, the pushback would come if someone had blurped out something equally off-the-wall and attributed it to their "feelings" about what Obama might be thinking; look out, World - it would be wall-to-wall outrage and umbrage, op-eds and serious panels of serious people and Extra-Super-Duper-Special Comments.  They'd want us all wearing armbands in solidarity.

They can also do anything they want to. They've moved DNC operations to Chicago.  Apparently, the Chicago way is the DNC way now.  I'm sure this move will find its way into 527 ads.

Begging the question is a form of logical fallacy:

To beg the question does not mean "to raise the question." (e.g. "It begs the question, why is he so dumb?") This is a common error of usage made by those who mistake the word "question" in the phrase to refer to a literal question. Sadly, the error has grown more and more common with time, such that even journalists, advertisers, and major mass media entities have fallen prey to "BTQ Abuse."

he's got to hire somebody to be the official presidential taster because you don't know what`s going to be in your food. You don't know what could happen. I literally feel that way.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with Hillary Clinton's personality.  This media insanity is all about Obama, and the inability of media and pundits and party hangers-on to reconcile Obama's weaknesses as a candidate, and as a prospective president, with his race.  The narrative of the post-racial savior wiping clean our great stain of slavery and racism is so enticing that no legitimate criticism or challenge can be allowed to penetrate it.  Then, gasp, you might feed nasty, unclean narratives like I dunno affirmative action stereotypes of race trumping merit.  Running afoul of political correctness, even accidently, would be far, far worse to the media/pundits etc. than attempting to elect the best president possible.

And the Obama camp's own race-baiting has fed this beast, so I don't feel the least bit sorry for him.  Let him reap what he has sown.  Because I believe this insanity is going to backfire with the regular everyday voter who likely sees this hyper-level of political correctness as chafing far too much to ever be worth "the great redemption".  Does the everyday voter even care as much as white liberals about being redeemed?

I've actually been thinking a bit about the Clinton melodrama vs. the Obama melodrama.  The Clintons are melodramatic because of the personal foibles of Bill and the perceived ambition and venality of both.  That's feet of clay kind of stuff.  It's fascinating psychodrama, but it really has little concrete effect on the people at large.  The economy still hummed under the Big Dawg after all.  The Obama psychodrama of race is really about America.  It's about how we view ourselves.  That kind of melodrama is in your face.  It goes to who you are and how you behave and what you believe.  Is that the kind of melodrama Americans want to sign on for?  Not the kind that you can watch from afar on the news and read about in the tabloids and pass distant judgment if you choose to even pay attention, but the kind that is going to implicate you and your own behavior and attitudes each and every day.  Is this a fair difference?  Am I on to something here?

But isn't it obvious that bringing up the prospect of Obama's assassination, and making it a prominent part of our public discourse, as the Obama campaign has obviously sought to do, might easily put ideas in the minds of the truly deranged, such as a John Hinckley type, who may be seeking some sort of recognition  -- the more infamous, the better?

I am the new politics and the new change and I am against the old ways of politics and those that represent the old system

Then turn around and say,

Oh please Hilary I need you and your voters in order to win and I would also want Bill to help us campaign like he did for you.

Yet turn around and also say,

But I cannot pick you since you are what I hated so much of the past and you guys personified the past like no one else.

He and his crew probably laughed about it. I mean, it's how he's behaved.

As soon as I get home to my pc, I intend to write her and ask her on what basis she is accusing Hillary Clinton of attempting to murder the President. if Hillary were the vice president.

This was a news commentator on a major network seriously accusing a US senator of murderous intent on national television.

Giles is employed by CBS as a news contributor:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/09/30/sunday/main3312884.shtml
Presumably she was acting in this capacity as a guest commentator on MSNBC.

Sure, we're all jaded, and at first blush it may seem just one more nudge down the slippery slope, but it is in fact a PLUNGE off the slippery slope.

This evening I will begin writing letters.  I hope any of you with blogs will headline this in ways that clearly tell the story, such as:

"CBS News Staffer and Obama Supporter Out of Control, Wildly Accuses Clinton of Murderous Intent on National Television."

Here's my feedback to them:

Nancy Giles comment on Abrams' show, "...look, if he gets Hillary as his VP, he's got to hire somebody to be the official presidential taster because you don't know what's going to be in your food ..." demonstrate a severe misunderstanding of the Obama campaign and the reasons Democrats chose him over Hillary Clinton.  Her implication that Hillary Clinton would assassinate Barack Obama is outrageous and inappropriate.  Abrams should have contradicted or questioned it immediately.  Giles' opinion in no way reflects the majority Democratic estimation of Hillary Clinton, and does more damage than good to the Obama presidential campaign.

Warren G. Harding (Death by Blackness) depicts Harding's life as my family knew
it. While growing up, we were never allowed to talk about the relationship to a
US President outside of family gatherings because we were "Colored" and Warren
was "passing." In 1884 he was a teacher at the local "Colored school" in Marion,
Ohio, until he crossed the color line and became the 29th President of the US.
Biographies written about Harding are quick to note his parents were descendants
of Ohio pioneer families with English and dutch ancestry when, in reality, both
of his parents were negroes whose ancestors escaped through the Underground
Railroad. this book will set the record straight. Few have come forth to tell
the truth. The Internet Encyclopedias reference Warren G. Harding's Blackness
openly, to surprise, in view of the fact his Negro ancestry has been squelched
by the government and his immediate family members. Moreover, he may have lost
his life because of it.

The only history Obama would make is one of embracing, and even perhaps
exploiting, being half-black instead of trying to hide it. It was speculated and
still is to this day that our good old government did away with Harding because
his blackness was "leaked" to the public. He died of a suspicious "heart attack"
even though he played the party line to try to cover up his own blackness.

What Obama actually winds up being is just another man who nudged out a more
qualified woman for a job position by way of backroom politics and orchestrated
misogyny. As if that weren't bad enough, he is a man who is clearly milking the
Martin Luther King persona to advance his lack of experience and true grit to
beyond boundries within which it should remain contained until he earns, by his
merits alone, otherwise. He is stealing from other greater men and women and
using race shamefully to "work it". For lack of a better phrase.

Big Media will have him dethroned by the end of August, at the stroke of
midnight just after the convention.  Until then they will continue to give Obama
the kid-glove treatment to ensure superdelegates don't wise up to what they have
in store for him next.  Of course they can't put a lasting dent in Hillary, with
the exception of manipulating, with Obama, racial sentiments and bending the
ears of careless superdelegates.  After August, Hillary, our best shot at the
Whitehouse, will be a mere footnote...they hope..

Then watch how quickly McCain regains a lead in the "polls".

Some superdelegates have spoken up that their consituents are now pushing them
to reconsider a previous pro-vote for Obama.  I myself initially supported him
before I sat down and really thought about what I was really doing.  Besides his
being patently unqualified to serve as Commander-In-Chief in time of war, there
could be more superdelegates moving in the direction of seeing Obama as a racist
himself...using race to get ahead instead of experience all under a Kingian veil
of chanting "hope" and "change".

Exploiting then-current political trends the first black president, Warren G.
Harding himself, was widely rumored to ride along on Ku Klux Klan excursions to
burn crosses in his fellow black's front yards.  Maybe some of them were even
his cousins?

Whatever works I guess.

Obama has been riding racial trends long enough. It's time for him to pull out
his resume' and put it on the table next to Hillary's.

Clinton did not end her campaign.  She will produce a formal vote for or against
Obama at the Convention; for or against her as well.  There are several weeks
between now and then.  There is still time to rein in a runaway horse on the
wrong path.  My suggestion to superdelegates is to consider only the merits of
the person running as fit to win and not gender or race.  Anything less would be
sexist or racist; and therefore, discrimination.

DON'T LOOK AT THE O!
HE LOOKED AT THE O!
SEIZE HIM!

I don't think it's useful to stay riled up over it.  In-fighting is to be expected, and the most outrageous comments are the ones that will stand out.  

Most importantly, the few thousands of Hillary-hating jerks DO NOT represent the millions of more respectful Democrats that voted for Obama.  There will always be Nancy Giles and people like her out there saying stupid things.  You don't have to take it so personally.  Just call them on it and move on.  

Badger Poll asked

Q27:
If Barack Obama chose Hillary Clinton as the vice presidential nominee, would that make you more likely, less likely, or have no effect on your likelihood of voting for Barack Obama?
N =     506     100%
More likely     107     21%
Less likely     110     22%
Have no effect     276     55%
Don't know / Refused     13     3%

that if Hillary is VP she will be bringing her master his coffee and donuts every morning.

right after she irons his shirts.

With so many missteps by obama, who knows if he will even get to the WH...link

if he wins the GE.
DON'T LOOK AT THE O!
HE LOOKED AT THE O!

Please... let's not be as paranoid as (some of) Obama's supporter's. Obama has not shown a tendency to be more paranoid than Bush. There is no evidence that he would take any precautions not already being taken. Heck - there is no reason to. I doubt that Obama could garner as much hate as Bush has.

have gone so far into insanity, I don't know what rehabilitation program could bring them back.
They keep suggesting that Hillary wants to murder Obama.

Seriously.

(NOTE: Apparently not. Just a random Democrat. Which begs the question, why is she on TV?):

i read her wikipedia entry and her web site bio. nothing in her background would seem to give her any special insight into, well, anything really. she's a modestly succesfull actress/comedienne. for reasons never quite made clear, she got some sunday morning talk show gig, as some kind of "commentator".
