Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit DiscussionIn a time of the spring, old paths are obscured and new growth begins.
Will the Clinton for President campaign have any staff left at the end of this week? I ask this question in light of last week’s discovery of the Clinton campaign’s shameful activities spreading malicious rumors about Barack Obama.
Barack Obama has become more successful with voters than Hillary Clinton, as voters have considered Senator Clinton’s questionable connections with corporate interests, and her less-than-progressive voting record in the Senate, including Clinton’s infamous vote to help George W. Bush start the war in Iraq.
In response, Hillary Clinton’s campaign has started spreading false rumors about Barack Obama’s religion, which shouldn’t even matter, and about Barack Obama’s behavior as a teenager, which has even less relevance.
When Clinton’s campaign was caught pushing these false rumors around, it fired a couple of staffers, as scapegoats, blaming the trouble on them. Hillary Clinton wouldn’t take responsibility herself. Besides, those campaign staffers were only fired after the story went public.
You don’t see Barack Obama engaging in this sort of skullduggery. He might criticize Hillary Clinton, but it’s on the issues. That’s why I support Barack Obama for President, not Hillary Clinton.

[…] « Hillary Clinton Campaign Engaged in Dirty Tricks Against Obama […]

Has it occurred to you that perhaps Barack Obama is simply less transparent in his negative campaigning and that Hillary Clinton is just getting caught at it? Or maybe it’s that the Republicans are doing all of Obama’s work with their rabid anti-Clinton frothing, so Obama can afford to look pure and virtuous?

That’s what I’m saying - you can trust Hillary Clinton because she’s above the board in these matters. Barack Obama, on the other hand, has managed to not get caught in his negative campaigning, and that has me worried.

Clinton gets caught in her dirty tricks.
Obama not getting caught in dirty tricks.
Right! Surely the reasonable conclusion is that Obama dirtier than Clinton.
Lack of evidence for X counts as better evidence than real evidence for X?
That, proud partisan, is what we call paranoia.

Well he got caught today C.N.N. Huffington Post and Fact Check have all said that the flyers Obama distributed were false. Hillary Clinton NEVER supported NAFTA and to quote “To say she was vigorously opposed to it is putting it mildly.”*C.N.N.*
His health care flyer misrepresented facts to scare voters and that too was debunked today. Obama will not respond so far with saying he did indeed lie.
No wonder she was angry. With regard to both flyers she had asked him before to please reword them and she thought he had, she had not seen them again until someone in the crowd in Ohio gave them to her and she realized he never re worded them.
It’s no use though even if Obama is found to be liar on both points, points he has used to gain voters and criticize her over you will not be able to talk facts to some of his supporters. He lied. Okay. And there are lots of other things he has misrepresented her on.
Saying she is only running on a first lady record etc. You can wiki her for a over view which is not even complete. He accuses her of wanting it both ways but, he includes organizational community work. Her first community organizing was as a teenager when she organized a large group of students to provide free day care for inner city immigrant workers…Yes, it IS thirty five years and to belittle it or devalue it so that by comparison your lack of experience doesn’t look so stark is sexist.
obama has capitalized on the fact that as a woman she had to have ten times the qualifications and was STILL held to a much higher and harsher standard. He never spoke up when the media and all over the net she was subjected to blatant sexism. I will never forgive him for that alone. *the uniter* Indeed. Apparently he doesn’t need anyone to vote for him who expects him to at least walk the talk.
Shame on you Barrack Obama…and shame on anyone one of you who participated in tearing this woman to shreds without fact checking!! And by that I do not mean campaign rhetoric and emails and flyers!!
He LIED TO YOU!!
