I'm not going to post the video of Senator Clinton's attack on Barack Obama yesterday. In my opinion, it was a very low moment for her, and I like Senator Clinton. But her disingenuous rant about some old mailers (that if she didn't know about them prior to yesterday, shame on her) deserves a response.
Here's one.
The mailers in question were about NAFTA, which she did support, and mandates on health care, which she does support. They were not an attack on her, on Democrats or on anyone else. They were the truth, whether she likes it or not. The fact is that Senator Clinton has also sent mailers attacking Obama's health care plan. It's what candidates do when they're running for office, and it's expected. What's not true, and what's seriously disturbing, is her likening some political mailers about candidates' positions on the issues to Karl Rove's tactics.
Not fair, Hillary. And not true. Shame on you.

You're so right about her, Faith. She does revert to using repub dirty tactics when things are down. It's just her nature, and it's simply a blatant example of why I want Obama as President. He really will bring a CHANGE that Hillary doesn't even get yet. They are both brilliant and capable, but he seems to have that calm, honest, wisdom thing that JK has in spades. You can't fake it, and if you don't have it, it shows. Great bunch of posts and videos by you (and Kerstin) here lately. Thanks!
