Right-wing smear machine gearing up...

Hillary sure scares the shit out of these "conservatives," doesn't she?

Anti-Hillary dirty tricks war hots up

Republicans use the internet, books and a film to try to derail Clinton's White House campaign

Paul Harris in New York
Sunday June 17, 2007

She's ahead in the polls and on course to become the Democrats' presidential candidate for 2008. So it is no surprise that a right-wing smear campaign is gathering speed to derail Senator Hillary Clinton's bid for the White House. Conservative groups and political figures are planning a film, books and a concerted media campaign to demonise Clinton, who is already one of the most polarising figures in American politics.

1. I actually had someone tell me just yesterday

not his haircuts, his hypocrisy. An overblown ambulance chaser whose " carbon footprint " is the size of everyone at Community festival and the fact that he has no real grasp on worldwide threats unless they involve the millions he made while working for a hedge fund to " study how to help the poor".

Hilary's amoral position of the day approach while she desparately hopes no one has any memory as she sucks up to whatever group she happens to have in front of her is reprehensible. She gets a pass on her cloaked racism and opportunistic cannibalism of everyone around her while standing for nothing.

Bush is a knucklehead on many things. This ridiculous amnsesty bill fiasco being the latest joke, but he isn't the monster that either Edwards or Clinton are....
Thankfully neither one of these pathological power-seekers will win.

this guy is a total FOXhole, so it's not surprising, but I found it amusing that he refers to Clinton and Edwards as "monsters." HAHAHA... damn, dude.

9. well, there are some sign that Fox snooze is waking up

They at least are asking about September, so my country-all Republican-all the time, seems to have been thrown under the bus.
How anyone would not hunger for change after the last 6 years is a mystery to me and I think that most of country agrees with me.

3. Oh yeah. They know their candidates suck. They know the country is

Edited on Sun Jun-17-07 11:24 AM by bluerum

down on the re-thugly-cons after the last 12 years. They know the country has its hair up after the demented cowboy in chief came within micrometers of nuking the middle east. They know that standing up and talking about re-thugly platform positions is a recipe for failure.

So - focus on the opposition. Smear, slander, lie and lie some more.

One thing they learned is that americans love a good smear campaign and can easily be distracted.

So america - hey - look over there. Again.

6. Hillary's got too much baggage

The right wing has been smearing her for some time, and from the left she's DLC which makes her not much different from the right.http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/1463

A DLC vs republican primary, thats a joke that should be taken more seriously around here.

11. I can't believe the Right has any credibility left at all. . .

They just come off as whining, lazy, spoiled and paranoid nutcases

12. Tune in to the RW radio hatemongers any day (if you can handle it)

You can just visualize the blood dripping off their fangs. It just goes to show how frightened they are of taking an even worse beating than they did in November.
