WASHINGTON — Get ready for a special guest star in the Republican campaign against Democrat Barack Obama: Hillary Clinton.

Months of bare-knuckled campaign fights, pitched rhetoric and debate jousting produced a treasure chest of sound bites and videos of Clinton ripping Obama as inexperienced, elitist or simply wrong on various issues.

Now that the Democratic primaries are over and Obama has clinched his party's nomination, the Republicans are ready to pounce.

The Republican National Committee on Wednesday rolled out new ads quoting Clinton criticizing Obama, the first of what likely will be many such ads.

1. well, no surprise there. Thanks Hill!

[lyonn]

2. Sometimes those "pretty speeches" mean something

Lincoln for one, then Kennedy and many others. Sometimes they come from a thinking brain!? What a thought! No one can accuse McCain of pretty speeches - or even coherent speeches, ha...

[WA98296]

3. And she is still trying to strong arm her way onto the ticket.

[Skip Intro]

4. And if she'd have won, the repukes would use Obama's attacks on her in their ads.

Oh, she's bush/cheney lite.

Oh, she's not being straight with the American people.

She's dishonest and untrustworthy.



have some integrity

[asthmaticeog]

5. Like that one time when he said that McCain would be a better president than Hillary?

What a dick move THAT was. He really should be ashamed of himself, potentially giving the GOP ammo like that.

[KaryninMiami]

8. Did Obama actually say those things about her? That she's dishonest and untrustworthy?

That she is Bush/Cheney lite? I have no memory of him saying things like that about her- it's possible I suppose, but I listened pretty carefully to the things he said of her and - my apology if I am wrong here-- and if so, please do send me the links, ok?


Obama supporters may have indeed said those things but Obama himself? Really?

[AtomicKitten]

6. Just a reminder to folks why she will not be VP.

[Shae]

7. Well, we all saw that one coming.

[Major Hogwash]

9. Like we couldn't see this coming.

Thanks a lot for all the fucking unity and support, Hillary!

[Cha]

10. Already predicted on DU..months

ago. Obama and his team will fix this.

Although, my question is who gives a rat's ass what hilary clinton has to say?

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

11. can you imagine if Hillary was VP candidate and all of these ads roll out?

She scorched the earth, didn't she?

[Beacool]

12. Oh yeah poor Obama, he NEVER criticized Hillary.

The Bush lite remarks were so heartwarming, along with "periodically" she gets upset or this little nugget: "the claws come out". Not to say the times he called her untrustworthy.

[anonymous171]

15. Did he ever compare her to John McCain and say that he and McCain were better?

[Beacool]

19. She just stated a fact.

McCain and she have experience and Obama does not. Yeah, yeah, he was in the state senate and was a community activist. Not bad, but not a presidential resume.

[chascarrillo]

16. Did Obama ever say that McCain was better than Clinton?

If so, please point it out, cause I must have missed it.

[Beacool]

20. He bashed the Clinton administration various times.

The most successful administration in decades, but the fact that it was also a Democratic administration didn't seem to matter to him.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

22. More vague bullshit from you.

You have nothing.

Go away.

[Beacool]

27. Selective memory?

:eyes:

[HCE SuiGeneris]

29. You have provided nothing. Hard to select anything when you offer zero examples

of the type of slanders Hillary created for the GOP.

[Colobo]

17. Let's unite.

[Beacool]

21. I don't think that it'll happen anytime soon.

I have never felt as much dislike and disdain for a Democratic candidate. Why? Because he's the most inexperienced candidate in modern times and I do not think he's fit to be president at this point in time. The LF wing of the party held him aloft as a way of getting rid of the Clintons (Kennedy, Kerry, et al). He has barely limped to the nomination thanks to the SD, even as he clinched the brass ring he lost most primaries since Feb. and by a large margin in all of them except for IN. I think that Obama will probably end up being another Carter.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

23. So leave then.

The time for coddling people who aren't sure they're going to vote for the Democratic nominee is OVER.

[Beacool]

24. Got a few more days before censure sets in.

Besides, it's not a collective. One can be a Democrat and not like nor support all candidates.

[cynatnite]

13. Just a tactic...they would have used Obama's voice if Hillary got the nom n/t

[Asider23]

14. this is why many criticized her...

with good reason

[truthisfreedom]

18. Those ads aren't going to be effective. We've already seen all that crap. Everyone's already

made their mind up about Obama and he has enough supporters to win now. They can't shut him up... he'll demonstrate that he's the grown-up and McSame is an unpredictable loose cannon.

[wvbygod]

25. Nice touch ignoring Obama's attacks on Hillary

Can't let the facts get in the way of a solid hatefest.

[WA98070]

30. I asked over and over again for anyone to name one and nobody ever did.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

31. Nice touch not providing any comparable examples.

Nice line of BS though.

[cottonseed]

26. I think it's all weak tea.

It's Obama vs. McCain. I just don't think this year is setup as a fair fight. No one cares what Hillary had to say during the primary fight. McCain will be trashed and kicked down the sidewalk for the next 5 months. No ad with a few Hillary quotes is going to change that.

[Warren DeMontague]

28. Special Guest Star in the Democratic Campaign against John McCain: George W. Bush.

We'll still win.

[HuffleClaw]

32. all part of the plan

from the beginning
