From the description:

"Hillary Clinton has asked "since when do Democrats attack each other on universal healthcare". Then we see her attack Obama on a couple occasions. "

1. What was the date of that front page NYT story where BO said he was planning to go negative?
September 07, wasn't it?

3. He has always been attacking HIllary. But it's Hillary's fault not responding back.
Edited on Sun Feb-24-08 01:49 PM by Sonnenschein
in a calm and reasoned manner.

4. Double standard
So when Obama criticizes Clinton, it's an attack, but when Clinton attacks Obama, it's a "rational response."

Usually, I'm the red pen, but you can color me unimpressed in this context.

6. The problem is she did not attack him. If she did, she would have
won. Now when she does, she does it not in a calm and reasoned tone like Obama does to her. Obama is a better student of swiftboating.

7. Switfboating?
Am I supposed to take that accusation seriously?

And Clinton has criticized Obama's stance on healthcare reform.

Swiftboating. :eyes:

9. Obama has been attacking Hillary for being "divisive" and her supporters as "cynics" in every stump
speech and has implied that she is one of "the same old folks in Washington" who sit on status quo when Obama knows full well of the sweeping changes Clintons brought to Washington. Obama knows that Hillary has already proven that she can work with Republicans while Obama only hopes to. The fact that she won reelection with overwhelming majority in NY shows that Republican can vote for her if they get to know her. In spite of all this, Obama has been twisting the truth and attacked Hillary relentlessly albeit in a calm tone like the swiftboat ads gentlemen. That calm tone does not make his attacks less vicious but only more effective.

5. That's the nature of a political contest. Obama attacked Hillary for taking
lobbyist money, just as he does (although she is direct and he dissembles (read lies) about it.

John McCain is going to attack whatever Dem candidate big time. The Dem candidate needs to be able to take it and defend herself and give back twice as good.
