78. Do you mean Obama's race speech?
Edited on Thu May-08-08 05:56 AM by CakeGrrl
If you've already explained it, just link to one of your posts if you don't mind. Not sure why you think I might have been reading Drudge versus listening to a 'Unity Speech'.

I didn't make up any of the examples I referenced.

I think my point stands on its own that Hillary is not some hapless victim in this campaign suddenly set upon by KO for no good reason - I'm trying to respond to what I think was the gist of your original assertion that he has somehow gone 'through the looking glass' in attacking her.

KO has been very supportive of the Clintons as he vehemently pointed out during the Ferraro flap, but, as has happened with a number of people, KO has been confronted with and has reacted to the unpleasant turns her campaign has taken and her direct participation in or tacit approval of what's transpired.

The problem is that unlike 1972, the actions of Hillary's campaign are what is driving the wedge between the Democrats - not the Republican machine. She's actually getting a perverse assist from the Fox crew, though it's not out of magnanimity or any interest in her long-term success.
