Hillary's campaign hearts arch-Neocon Charles Krauthammer


The Clinton camp placed comments from her and Obama on her web site, HillaryHub.com, and provided a link to an opinion article written by conservative Charles Krauthammer that described "how the grizzled veteran showed up the clueless rookie."

Krauthammer is a grouchy version of Dick Cheney.

But don't call her Bush/Cheney lite!

4. So lets get this straight....
an external site put up by her campaign as a source for tons and tons of Hillary-related news, included one link to an article by an opinion columnist where both she and Obama are mentioned and this now means HILLARY, as a candidate, is Bush/Cheney lite?

What a joke.

5. I would be APPALLED if the Obama campaign
linked to articles by William Kristol or Richard Perle trashing a progressive Democrat.

Lower expectations for the Triangulatrix.

12. of course there is
a nationally syndicated columnist said something positive about Clinton in this battle. I think pretending outrage over this is silly.

You're right--she should brag about that.

16. I think this says more about Obama than Clinton
In particular, the fact that Republicans are terrified of him getting the nomination.

I want to note though that Republicans wishing for Hillary doesn't mean that they agree with anything she has ever said. They don't. it's just that they see her as nothing more than an extension of the almighty Clenis (As any good wife is to her husband, in their world) and so are relying on name recognition to maintain their own base (that being crazy hateful ignorant fuckers, CHIF's for short) which is in very real danger of collapsing under the weight of supporting the Republican's fat plutocratic despotic asses.

Pushing Clinton is their way of trying to scare their own base back into fearful submission. The Republicans are terrified of her getting the nod, too, but they figure they'll at least have their CHIF base in a dependable position.

19. Obama is more progressive and more electable.
And he has better judgment.

There really shouldn't be a choice here.

"No one wants to be left on the dock when the hegemon is sailing" - - not even Krauthammer, for sure.

21. 55% of Democrats disagree and 100% of Republicans agree
with her.

She's as close to a Neo-Con as there is in the Democratic field.

23. Voting records are different from executive behavior.
She's showing every sign that she subscribes to the same conventional wisdom that's brought us disaster after disaster.

30. But, don't you think verbatim quotes speak volumes?
For instance, the David Brooks thing: The Uphill Struggle in the New York Times.
Or how about the Conservatives Heart Hillary at MyDD?


And what about those Republicans For Obama?

Would any bragging by Obama of this group's support mean his campaign hearts wingnuts? I don't think it would.

32. A bitter man. He was paralyzed years ago from diving into the
shallow end of a pool. Not a smart thing to do for such a bright guy. I think he holds an MD in psychiatry.

I always think that he never got over that accident and is embittered that he has to spend his life in a wheelchair. My opinion, of course.

Though, your analysis makes sense.
