Thom Hartmann now documenting Hillary's smears

On his TV show, telling her to knock it off. He's about to show the clips of her smears. The NY Times editorial board wrote an editorial yesterday talking about her dirty tricks against Bernie.

you see the gleam in her eye, the enthusiasm with which she pounds them out? There is a saying:

Never get into a fight with someone who loves to fight and I say she loves fighting and throwing grenades.

It's what the Clintons have always done. Hillary has put political hacks who specialize in dirty tricks like John Podesta and David Brock in her campaign because that's the kind of campaign she wants. She can't run on her record, she has to smear her opponent. Candidates give orders, they don't take them. Unless Thom is saying that Hillary is a weak candidate and her advisors are really the brains behind the campaign, as with Dick Cheney calling the shots behind the scenes for George W. Bush.

Thom is also at times too defensive of Hillary. He thinks maybe her handlers are the cause of her lying, flip-flopping and misleading. He thinks she is actually adjusting her beliefs instead of just saying whatever she thinks she needs to to win the primary. He is just too naiveabout her.
