Reply #15: He is describing what she is doing - and describing it well [View All]

If you think it reflects badly on her character, you should first look to see if it is true - and if it is - and you consider that the actions are wrong - rethink your opinion on HRC. My opinion of them changed - not because of Edwards saying that she was corrupt and at a different time that she had no conscience. They didn't change when the RW attacked them. I was not moved when Obama spoke. I only slightly shifted my position when Kerry spoke well of her - even as he has been an Obama surrogate. My opinion has been driven by what they themselves have said and done.

This is a strawman argument and a particularly stupid one at that:

- Obama says he wants "new politics" away from the slash and burn politics - here he called her on what she did. He did not dig up all the buried Clinton baggage. So, 1 he is not being inconsistent

- 2) Clinton supporters are equating ANY fighting back to be "not new politics - so he loses". However, we both know that if he ignored it - it would be "He doesn't fight back - so he loses". No one else wants to play that Clinton wins/Obama loses game.
