New Book Accuses Hillary Clinton of Waging a War on Women

By: Hrafnkell Haraldsson

Nothing has worked: book after book (e.g. Ed Klein’s “Blood Feud,” Daniel Halper’s “Clinton Inc.,” and Peter Schweizer’s “Clinton Cash”), invented scandal after invented scandal. Hillary Clinton’s popularity has bent but not broken.

So why not another book? And I’m sure there is time for another scandal before Election Day 2016. The book is more of a broadly-based attack on the whole family: “The Clintons’ War on Women,” is “the definitive exposé of Bill, Hillary, Chelsea, and their abuse of people,” says author Roger Stone.

You might have noticed – it is clear conservatives have or this book would not have been written – that the Clintons have become something along the lines of champions of people. Hillary herself is running in 2016 as a champion of women:

They will have to change their tune now to “Hillary is attacking women’s issues as a way of deflecting attention from her own attack on women” or something similar. Stone himself dismisses Clinton as a women’s champion, saying “I think we can make a case that Hillary’s advocacy for women is phony, it’s bogus. It’s an adaption based on polls, not beliefs.”

We can probably make a better case that his book can be dismissed as more a product of unreasoning hatred and less of fact.

Roger Stone, used to work for Donald Trump and says he remains Trump’s “friend and supporter” even though Trump told Jeffrey Toobin at The New Yorker in 2008 that “Roger is a stone-cold loser” and “He always tries taking credit for things he never did.” According to Toobin, “Like Nixon, Stone is also a great hater—of, among others, the Clintons, Karl Rove, and Eliot Spitzer.”

The people who hate Hillary will read it and everyone else will ignore it.

DUers have made portions of some of those books their go-to sources for posts about Hillary.

Haven't checked those rules lately, but Morrow's material is as bad as it gets.

Rove's favorite trick is to try to turn a candidate's strength against that candidate. Hillary Clinton has been a champion of women so she must be branded as part of the war on women.

This trick will not work
