So I opened the opinion page of my local paper today...
And guess what I saw? Bill Kristol loving on Hillary and George Will arguing that Rev. Wright is a legitimate campaign issue.

And good ol' George couldn't help himself--had to bring up that he thought Willie Horton was also a legitimate campaign issue.

Why are all these cons shilling for Clinton, I wonder?

1. Obama also said that Rev. Wright is a legitimate campaign issue.

9. Tell me, is Lewinsky a legitimate issue?
I'm curious why if she's not. It's exactly what the Rethugs will attack Clinton with in the GE, isn't that the justification for yelling "scary black preacher" at superdelegates?

11. Who am I to say what is relevant to others? If you think Lewinski should be brought up,
no one is stopping you.

14. Is it not the EXACT same logic Hillary is using to push Wright to superdelegates?
At least admit the hypocrisy, if that's possible.

16. I am awaiting an serious explanation of how it is not. I don't think Clinton supporters are willing
to deal with the irrationality and hypocrisy of the Clintons pushing Wright to superdelegates.

The logic is "the _________ controversy will be used against _______ in the GE by the Republicans, and make the candidate unelectable."

Please tell me how Wright fits in here but the multiple skeletons in Clinton's closet don't.

18. Since I agree with you, I can't help.
There used to be rational Clinton supporters here, but it's been weeks since I've seen one posting.

12. And he was in the exact same position as George Will was
when Will sat down and decided what topic, out of all the topics in the world today, he would write that column about.

Right.

So you agree with George Will's column, even the Willie Horton part?

eyes to be a fookin' neocon with the worst of 'em.

4. Because they're on the same team.
She's a neo-lib, they are neo-cons. The corporatization of America will continue.

5. Obama said on Faux Sunday that Wright was legitimate, so I can't
fault anyone for using that. As for Kristol, I have no clue. Except he wants Clinton to win the primary, as do all the rest of the r/w fucktards. Hannity, Limbaugh, etc., ad nauseum.

Heh. Ad nauseum is MSNBC and CNN. So There.

6. Is he advocating that she should switch sides?
Let the GOP/CONS have her! After what she has done in this campaign? She better run her senate relection as an I or R, she's going to face some competition as a D.

8. Why the Neo-cons are shilling for Hillary - openly stated right here:
Edited on Wed Apr-30-08 12:11 AM by Triana
"Republicans perceive HILLARY to be the weakest rival in the November election."

LINK: http://www.insideindianabusiness.com/newsitem.asp?ID=29108

And Hillary supporters are playing RIGHT into it all.

17. We'd better all be concerned about that
Just a few short years ago they all hated her, now they love her. Something doesn't add up.
