'Nonpartisan' Politico.com smears Clinton over upcoming bios
I'm not a Hillary supporter but I know when something is grossly unfair.

Politico.com is putting together some kind of bizarre conspiracy theory about the launch of two new Hillary bios. I have a snippet posted below that gives the flavor of their latest hit piece against a Democrat.

No wonder Matthews loves Politico.com - he probably fed them this story hook, line and sinker.

How to kill a book, in 3 easy steps

Here's how you kill a book:

First, see to it that it emerges into the public eye on the Friday of a holiday weekend.

Then, express ostentatious boredom at its contents.

Then, attack.

Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson declined to comment on the question of whether the campaign leaked to The Washington Post a copy of one of two forthcoming biographies of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.). And though there’s no confirmation that the Clinton campaign leaked either book, there is at least some circumstantial evidence that points that way.

This whole story is FULL of 'circumstantial evidence' - just another smear against a Democrat while they claim to be nonpartisan. Bullshit.

1. I haven 't been a Clinton supporter but if she's smart enough
to do what they claim she did, then we need her as president. She'd sure as hell be able to figure out a way to end the Iraq CF.

2. Politico is uber rightwing propaganda
just because the name sounds catchy does not mean that they are legit.

Can we get a rabid leftwing group together and give it a centerist sounding name so that we can get the coverage that politico gets?

3. I made the mistake of watching a repeat of Tweety
last night. My God what a filthy show that was yesterday! We've been through this garbage before and we'll have to go through it again-which is why Hillary will not get my vote. She simply isn't the revolutionary figure that can withstand this assault-it's a death by a thousand cuts.
