Noteworthy Political Scientist Says Clinton Was For Characterization Of Working-Class Voters Before She Was Against It
[Read the article: Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Oh, noes! Would it crush anyone's beautiful velveteen pony to learn that Hillary Clinton hasn't always been a duck-hunting, beer-drankin', Senator-Saint who walked among the commoners and lived as they do? It's true, it's true, and apparently, there are witnesses!
Harvard University political scientist Theda Skocpol - also an elite, I guess! - provided Talking Points Memo with a following statement, which, in part, reads:
I have been in meetings with the Clintons and their advisors where very clinical things were said in a very-detached tone about unwillingness of working class voters to trust government -- and Bill Clinton -- and about their unfortunate (from a Clinton perspective) proclivity to vote on life-style rather than economic issues. To see Hillary going absolutely over the top to smash Obama for making clearly more humanly sympathetic observations in this vein, is just amazing. Even more so to see her pretending to be a gun-toting non-elite. Give us a break!...
This has to be one of the few times in U.S. political history when a multi-millionaire has accused a much less wealthy fellow public servant, a person of the same party and views who made much less lucrative career choices, of "elitism"! (I won't say the only time, because U.S. political history is full of absurdities of this sort.) In a way, it is funny -- and it may not be long before the jokes start.

Perhaps, however, it can be said that Pennsylvanians are not "bitter," at least, relative to their candidates.

If Hillary were a man she would have been forced out of the race after 13 straight losses. That is a fact.

Now they accuse Obama for being a communist

LA Times had a front page article on Obama attending Edward Said's lecture 10 years ago. Now they will accuse him of being a card carrying member of the communist party.
No one has to vote for Hillary just because she is a woman. That in itself is sexist.

And here I thought white women had it good.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]We are training our girls to take a good look at Hillary as someone they don't want to be and aught not to model. That is their lesson on standing on their own two feet and not hang on to the coattails of their philadnering husbands or partners.
You need to lay off thay stuff girl.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I raise the same question about Hillary energizing the Repub base too, and far more hostile. Why is this same mantra being chanted over and over again about Obama not able to deflect the right wing machine? Can Hillary? How do you think she is going to handle negative campaigning after the shit she has pulled in her own party?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obama is still standing after nefarious Hillary attacks on him along with her dirty campaigning praising McCain over Obama. He is still standing and will be standing and winning after the Repubs have at him. I am afraid, Hillary has too many negatives which will knock her out of the race in the GE.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]You need to report that to the Obama campaign. I am sure his campaign might put something on their website to discourage such T-shirts. Or you can report this to your local Obama campaign office

[Read more letters about this article: Here]But, the Clinton years were not that different from the Bush years. Remember, they cut assistance to women with children, they instituted don't ask don't tell to appease the homophobes, they passed the most disgraceful omnibus crime bill that would make even Nixon shudder.

John McCain Should Go on Vacation, Hillary Clinton is Doing His Job for Him
[Read the article: Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hillary Clinton, adopting the frames, lies, stereotypes and destructive clichés long embraced by the likes of Lee Atwater and Karl Rove. She has clearly decided that the road to victory runs through scorched earth.
The question is, if she succeeds, what kind of party will she be left to lead? She's burning down the village to save it -- or to prove that she would make the best fire chief. But the village won't be saved; only one house will be left standing. A house with room for just two occupants. Hill and Bill.
