Clinton Camp Threatens to Boycott NBC Debates Because of Comments About Chelsea Being "Pimped Out"

After Russert's interview of Obama this morning, I vow to boycott NBC and GE in their entirety. How date the media seek to shape public opinion towards their candidate.

This is a sad day for Americans. Hillary Clinton's daughter is old enough to make her own choices at 28. This is another tactic to make Clinton's supporters to not see the truth. As for mothers please use reason about this. If you are a mother your do not ask your children to do your dirty work. Bill and Hillary are liars, law brakers, unfaithfull, cons, scammers, and white collar criminals. They charge the secret service to live on their property $10,000 a month. So much for helping the poor, social security, or any minority. If you actually think the Clintons care about you, you need some real help.

Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea what's next? Are you ‘all going away quietly from the eyes, ears, and heads of the people of America. I suggest you become an ordinary American family. Join a neighbor support group aimed at helping needy children. Organize a community forum that helps women raising children on their own. Give some sincere time to helping the elderly folks. Create a group to help people learn what not to do when pursuing a public position. You know what I mean; just go away peacefully.

"Why the double standard? We are all humans, we make poorly thought out statements, we make mistakes.

If memory serves, I think Bill made one very large mistake then lied about it. Did he loose his job...
Yet this reporter makes a comment and his whole world comes tumbling down and it is use of slang is blown way out of proportion.

Go Team Hiliary..."

Yes he did, he was impeached, but not removed from office. Thats basically the same as loosing your job and still keeping your office.

Funny how making phone calss and campaigning for your mother could be legitimated as "pimping" by Obama supports commenting here. If you ask the 5-13 year olds who are kidnapped and taken across state lines to be beaten and manipulated into having sex for food and shelter, I'm sure they'd be able to tell you if "pimping" is offensive. They have more common sense than the idots posting here. Obama supporters are very inteligent, huh?-

Clinton is wrong, what a bunch of indignant wimps.

I Love Chris Mathews and David Shuster and was sorry to see him punished for a comment; people are much too sensitive these days; besides, one of Clinton's selling points is that she is tough enough to take anything the Republicans throw her way; Whats up with that, if she can't take this.

The sad part of all this is that Hillary is willing to subject her daughter to the same kind of political gamemanship-that she and Bill both understand and have readily used on others-espcially women. "Pimping" is a word Bill and Hillary have used around the house before-even the White House(imagine that)! It's not a shocker to them-I can assure you of that. This time the whinning and the yelling at the press and the crying in public won't work. The very people that they were counting on to give them a free ride and be their advocate-have jumped ship. It may be over for them...Who knows...but acting indignant about something that happens to them-that they would fell free to visit on others-no matter who...smacks of an elitism that would not serve well in the White House. Wah...Wah...Wah

Chelsea Clinton is a grown woman and a public figure by choice. Hillary Clinton is atempting to play the victim again

Look Chelsea will be fine and so will Hillary and Bill. As far as Obama's daughters are concerned, they are too young to be out campaigning for their Dad so that's not even an issue. Hillary and Bill know how to play the game just as they did about claiming Hillary is broke. Look what she got in return, sympathy and a whole lot of money. As far as MSNBC, I don't find them bias; quite frankly Fox News is the worst station on television. If we took a tally of the emails to see who's all against MSNBC because of the comments about Clintons, then we'll all realize that it's just a race thing.

Get over and realize Barack is a better Candidate!!!!

Nice, that she boycotts NBC on behalf of her 28 year old daughter. That's natural. But she should rather oppose Fox, on behalf of her voters, because Fox discriminates all Dems on a regular basis even hourly. I don't know how David Shuster is cultivating his language, but "pimped out" means great,awesome, super duper. "pimped" would have been the right sound bite, and means used or misused. Both though inherit from hooker and pimp language and are not too polite. And personally I would boycott Shuster, because of this silly, arrogant laugh at his own "joke" right afterwards.

You can't have it both ways---and that's what the Clinton's want. I do agree as a parent that the minor children should be OFF LIMITS BUT Chelsea is an ADULT and has CHOSEN to put herself out there campaigning for mom. When you put yourself in that position, you have made yourself a public figure. If Chelsea had remained quite and not chosen to present herself in public situations campaigning for her mom, then it would be different. She's either a private citizen or a public figure. She cannot act as a public figure but expect treatment and rights of a private citizen.

It's obvious that some of the Obama cult and Clinton haters here are not parents. If you mess with my child you will go down! That is true of all good parents. I have been listening to Randi Rhoads on Air America who confesses she will not go on MSNBC because Chris stares at her breast. She also tells of his womanizing that she has seen first hand. I belive her more so now. It's becoming obvious that there is a lot of sexism happening there. I am boycotting all of NBC because of this. I will miss some of your shows, but the principal is more important. Stay stong Hillary!

I don't know what is more disturbing... the fact that "News" reporters are more interested in sounding hip than being accurate or the comments from viewers I read on these blogs.

It's very scary

let me preempt this comment by saying how much I dislike HRC. with that out of the way, HRC is entitled to have whoever she wants, campaign on her behalf, specially her daughter. I would do it for my parents and be very proud of being able to contribute. Chelsea Clinton is a grown woman and she decides if she wants to speak on behalf of her mom. Do not smear Chelsea, she was a minor through most of her fathers administration, and in my view , has amnesty for anything good or bad her father or mother have done...

Who cares. Also, wasn't the comment accurate. What are they taking offense to the term "pimped"? So what, that's what they were doing by engaging thier daughter. Then to say "she's and we are off limits" is pure hypocracy. If you don't want people to commenet on what she is doing don't "use" her inthe process.

Why is it so bad for the Clintons to have Bill and Chelsea go out and speak for Hilary, but not Obama? He uses his wife all over the coumtry. All the politicians use thier family. That does not make it right to attack the family members. Give me a break. This country's standards have gone to the toilet. We have NO respect for our fellow human. They complain when Hilary says something about Obama, but Obama can say anything about Hilary. You can vote black if you are black, but you are white and vote white you are racist. I vote for the best candidate. Look at the issues NOT the trash talk. Enough!!!!!!!!!

There is no responsible reporting anymore. The media is so slanted and its disgusting how much they slant their headlines and news bias to ingratiate their corporate owners.
Matt Lauer had Ann Coulter on with her disgusting bias and trash mouth , bill oreily This is responsible reporting. Then we will be innundated with newt gingrich, and Tom Delay and their stupid discussions of their slant on the process. We know of their past indiscrestions and they set them up as truth doctors . Outrageous headlines abound. and enough is enough. TALK TRASH IS ALIVE AND WELL Follow the money folks of corporate news and you see the bigger picture. Look to who financially promoted George Bush .

I wonder why NBC cares if Hillary will not appear on the network? She does not own it, and if she choses not to appear that just hurts her own campaign. Can you imagine? Obama advertises, reaches those people, and Hillary just igores those voters?

I don't think so. Full of hot air is my opinion. It is amazing to me that NBC is falling for it and giving Cliton her way. Censorship is not the right of a senator. When Chelsa agreed to start campaigning in a desperate attempt by her mother to get younger voters, what did she expect, the media would continue to ignore her? The media may have gone too far, but is that to be unexpected?
