As camp Hillary becomes unraveled...
it tries to see if they can dig up any dirt from Obama's work as a community oraganizer. Truly sad.

Obama, Under the Clinton Microscope

By Jeff Zeleny

DES MOINES – Presidential campaigns have unlimited appetites for information about their rivals. They track their whereabouts, they study their records and they obsessively follow nearly every movement. By this point in the race, though, it would seem a candidate’s work history would have already been sufficiently combed through.

Apparently not.

If there was any question whether Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign was concerned about the rise of Senator Barack Obama, here is a fresh example: A deputy campaign manager for Mrs. Clinton sent an e-mail yesterday, trying to find out about Mr. Obama’s background as a community organizer in Chicago.

The deputy campaign manager is Bob Nash, who served as White House personnel director in the Clinton administration. In March, Mr. Nash left his position as vice chairman of Chicago ShoreBank to join Mrs. Clinton’s campaign.

Here is the text of his e-mail, with the addresses redacted:

From: Bob Nash
To:
Sent: Sun Dec 09
Subject: BARACK

HOW ARE YOU ?? I AM FIGHTING HARD >

SECOND ARE YOU PEERSONALLYAWARE OF TH EWORK BARACK DID ON THE SOUTH
SIDE WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION S , ETC ./. BOB

WHAT DI DHE DO AFORE HOW LONG AND WITH WHO ??

PLS TELL BOB HELLO BOB

Bob J Nash
Deputy Campaign Manager
Hillary Clinton for President Exploratory Committee
4420 N. Fairfax Drive
Arlington, VA 22203



Mr. Nash, 59, did not respond to an e-mail request seeking comment. A campaign official said he was unaware of the matter, but would look into it.

10. I think you should post it and I will enjoy it! How's that? You, me, Obama, and
everyone who wants to join us! Or tomorrow, or the next day, but it's worthy! :thumbsup:

14. I just watched this, and have a warm fuzzy! AWW. I'm going to bed, but
this deserves its own thread, soon, when more people will see it. Thank you!

3. Nice to know that Hillaryworld has such great talent working as deputy campaign managers!
I certainly hope Mr. Nash's typing skills are as good as his organizational ones. Was he drunk when he sat down at the keyboard, I wonder?

8. What's truly sad is that you used Drudge to get this shit.
Your use of the 'dirt' word (to describe an email that can best be described as a lame, late attempt to get hands on some potential oppo research) came right off Drudge.

What's also truly sad is that you weren't a good DU citizen, and you didn't check for duplicates.

You don't have to support Senator Clinton, but at least be subtle. What you're doing is rather craven. Why not post another positive thread about your favorite candidate, instead of Drudge-innuendo shit?

If you are supporting Obama, this ain't the way to do it.

you to chastise me!

15. HIs headline--not the NYT headline--HIS headline used the dirt word
Specifically: REVEALED: Hillary Deputy Campaign Manager E-Mails For Dirt On Obama...

See, that's considerably DIFFERENT than this:
OBAMA, Under the Clinton Microscope

Which was the actual TITLE of the piece.

And the piece didn't mention the word DIRT once. It talked about "work history"--not dirt.

Only DRUDGE used that "d" word.

19. Stow the outrage, will ya? Hillaryworld fed stories to Drudge at least twice in the past 2 months..
And I don't seem to remember you being outraged then.

Typical hypocrisy from The Inevitable People. :eyes:

21. It isn't "outrage." It's just plain disgust. There's no need for it.
The fact that the stupid staffer is looking for oppo information stands on its own. It suggests that he's stupid, out of the loop, hasn't done his homework. That's made plain in the NYT piece.

To lift the DIRT line from fucking Drudge says everything about the motivation of the poster, not any 'outrage.' How can I be 'outraged' when that's not 'my candidate?'

Sheesh. I'm just sick of the horseshit. It's like a fourth grade lunchromm up in here...

And where you get the "inevitable people" I have no idea. I could say the same about you, only I don't toss nonsensical one liners for some kind of smartass effect.

23. What scares me most about this
Is the freaking text of the email!

Is the dude retarded or something? Is this the kind of morons that will be running things in the white house if Hill is elected. She and bill are clearly very bright. This dude comes off as a complete idiot in his email.
