Friday Hillary Hypocrisy Round-Up

I do find it amazing at what lengths the Obama supporters are going to in order to score a political point.

What saddens me is that the best Democratic president the Democratic party has had since FDR is now being trashed and treated as if he is the enemy by those who seem to take no prisoners when it comes to getting Mr. Obama elected and Hillary Clinton defeated.

We find no attacks on Hillary. Because its all come out. The very people who defended Bill Clinton from attacks by the right with such vehement outrage are now the ones doing the attacking. However they are not attacking the right or the GOP but rather are attacking the very person they used to claim as their own and united the party like it had never been united in years.

This type of behavior is going to unite us? I have serious doubts. Forgive me for expressing them.

Obama/Clinton?

Clinton/Obama?

I'm taking bets this will never happen.

"What saddens me is that the best Democratic president the Democratic party has had since FDR is now being trashed and treated as if he is the enemy by those who seem to take no prisoners when it comes to getting Mr. Obama elected and Hillary Clinton defeated."

Harry Truman and JFK were both infinitely superior to Clinton.

Interesting comments Whocares. I'd say they apply equally as well to Hillary's supporters and their attempts to get her the nomination at the expense of Obama.

And if Bill Clinton doesn't want to be "attacked", he should probably stay off of Rush Limbaugh's radio program. I would be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt (seeing as it is still primary season and the Clinton and Obama campaigns are duking it out), but when he appears on Limbaugh's show (conveniently on a day when Limbaugh was sick, but still giving him access to a wide base of some rabid fans) he pretty much sacrificed a good deal of the credibility he may have had as a Democratic party member.

Shaun, your anger is showing. How you can equate a handshake between Bill Clinton and Wright with 20 year of spiritual guidance is beyond fathoming. Its desperation. Mind you I dont hold Wright against Obama either but trying to equate the two is patently absurd.

Second, you should check your own site, Moderate Voice, for the post by Damozel yesterday including a video clip from the Prime Minister of Ireland saying that yes indeed, Hillary played a role, an important role, in the peace process there. Damozel speculated we would not hear anything about this in the press or outside of his post, and he was right.

A do-over of Ohio? Over an issue? You equate that with stiffing Florida and Michigan which we desperately need in the fall? Again, this post is nothing more than braying at the moon.

Bill Clinton reaching out to Republicans. Hmmmm....sounds like what someone else has been saying HE would and could do. Of course thats only for him. Clintons arent permitted.

Permit me to offer one more thought. I am glad Obama got into trouble yesterday with his "typical white person" comment. Maybe now it will dawn on people that it is very difficult to discuss race without being accused of being a racist. The one thing that has angered me to insanity is the accusation that the Clintons are racist. Its pure BS for political expediency. Now maybe people will comprehend that even Obama can be caught saying something that was obviously not intended as racist but was perceived in that way. Its not easy is it? Cut them both some slack for heaven's sake and try to resist stretching to Gumby-like proportions in desperate attempts to make the Clintons evil. They arent. Neither is Obama. One of them will win and then we all better happily and strenuously support the winner if this is anything other than a personal popularity crusade. The McCain campaign has ALREADY exceeded anything the Clintons said or did during this campaign, and we havent even started the general election yet. Brace yourself and direct your anger where it belongs: at the Repubs.

"Its all about the Supreme Court stupid." to paraphrase Carville.

Interesting comments Whocares. I'd say they apply equally as well to Hillary's supporters and their attempts to get her the nomination at the expense of Obama.

Absolutely I would agree. However the entire point of the ops article was to call into question Bill Clintons integrity and not Hillaries. Because their is nothing suitable to attack Hillary this has become a surrogate war.

The Reverend Wright and Bill Clinton are the targets. Rev. Wright is a nobody but Bill Clinton is and was the face of this party for 8 years and now he suddenly stands in the way of the march to the throne by Barak Obama.

Those who claim Barak Obama will unite us are the very ones who are doing everything they can personally to be dividers. The hypocrisy of his movement.....Not Obama....but his movement is beyond amazing to me.

Obama supporters generally claim to want a "different kind of politics", but an inflammatory headline such as "Friday Hillary Hypocrisy Round-Up" is the worst sort of example of politics-as-usual. There is a reason why Clinton supporters justifiably feel their candidate is under attack, and those attacks aren't coming from Obama but from those who claim to support him.

If the goal of this posting is to define the differences between Obama and Clinton and point out inaccuracies in some of her statements, please do it in a fair and honest way so that a debate can occur. Name-calling and one-sided statements of "fact" won't help either side.

Bill Clinton is an assh$$$ in this situation. Back when Clenis was POTUS, Limpbaugh used the line "America held hostage..." to describe his time in office. Limpbaugh was conflating Clenis and the Iranians. Now Bill kisses up to Rush to score political points.
