What a joke Salon has become
More pointless regurgitation of Clinton talking points from Salon. What a shock!
If Clinton gets handed the nomination by a bunch of white Washington insiders, this country could very well be facing revolution. Not anger. Not protests. Not riots. Genuine, honest-to-God revolution.
Any halfway intelligent person knows that the only reason that Obama has slipped in the polls is that he is now getting hit from both sides. McCain isn't attacking Hillary. Once she and her super-sized ego get put in their proper place, Obama's stock will skyrocket.
I am so tired of the flimsy, illogical arguments that are constantly being made in defense of Clinton's scorched earth campaign. Of course Obama has fallen some since early Spring. Clinton has been dragging his name through the mud while McCain beat on him.
And Obama has kept above the fray. He has criticized Clinton policies and votes, but hasn't attacked her on Whitewater, Travelgate, or any of the 10,000 other things that the Republicans will happily remind voters of this Fall. The Republicans know that if they tried to run the kind of campaign against Obama that they would against Clinton, it would backfire. The biggest threat to the Democratic Party right now is Hillary Clinton.
The Republicans spent hundreds of thousands of dollars running anti-Obama ads in a congressional special election in Louisiana. They repeatedly tied the Democratic candidate to Obama in ads. What happened? The Republicans lost the seat, which they had held for over 30 years.
Hillary is a bad joke on the Democratic Party, just as Salon is now a bad joke on the people who used to count on it when it was tearing apart the obvious lies of the Bush team. Now it just spreads the obvious lies of the Clinton team. Yes, folks, Salon is now Fair and Balanced.
