Cheerful boos for Hillary

At the YearlyKos convention, the mixed reception for Hillary Clinton is more evidence that the liberal blogosphere might not take sides in the coming Democratic primary.

    criticism by a republican is valid

    "Republican" criticism of the war is just as valid as "Democrat" criticism of the war, and that is when the politician actually means it, like Ron Paul does. I believe that Dennis Kucinich does as well, and would like to see a ticket/cabinet with both of them somehow involved (which I could see happening on a 3rd party ticket). Both have been consistent in their antiwar stance regarding Iraq, Paul has been steady in his stance since at least 1998 when he voted no against "regime change" in Iraq.

    Hillary voted how on the war in Iraq? I thought so. no regrets. Please stop the nonsense about Hillary being some kind of Dove. Sure she is an antiwar liberal dove, just like AIPAC Girl Nancy "Mr. Cheney, AIPAC says to go ahead and 'address' Iran before you leave office" Pelosi. Yeah right, they will all find some way to church up their rhetoric so that their warmongering seems humanitarian.

    How does that peace propaganda taste? It must be good, because you are eating it up.
