Ms Clinton's supporters have gotten their marching orders......

Peter Daou, Ms Clinton's Internet director has disseminated and spammed far and wide the talking points that Ms CLintons supporters should use and what to ignore when the media begins to call into question her negatives that are now raising as her numbers become less and less reachable by day and the questions as various court case aginst her and her family and filed by the campaign against releasing vote counts in Texas which show how high she lost by, show her questionables of character.


Both candidates are running a vigorous campaign. Both have had surrogates or supporters who have crossed the line and made offensive statements that they rejected. And these offensive statements are an unfortunate part of a long and close campaign. Those who make a habit of automatically assuming and ascribing to only one candidate the worst motives, ignoring more reasonable and benign explanations, who substitute conjecture for fact and then use those assumed `facts’ as a foundation on which to pile more conjecture about only one candidate’s intentions, who express anger at negative campaigning and perceived dirty tricks but focus on only one candidate’s words and actions, risk losing credibility. And those who conclude from that one-sided reasoning that Hillary ought to stop seeking victory, should ask themselves if quitting in the middle of a hard-fought - and winnable - contest is a desirable attribute in a future president.


Don't change horse midstream, buck up please don't listen to those stating facts about the details of the numbers against us.......

Just for the record, staying the course beyond all reasonable information and living in denial is a behavior that the Bush administration has regular operated on so it is not "a desirable attribute in a future president" no matter who it is and ecouraging ignorance should not be encouraged by any candidate.


....But there is a sharp line between supporting a candidate (and excusing their faults, which all supporters do to some degree) and conducting a “full assault” on an opponent’s integrity and character. The Obama campaign’s unabashed attacks on Hillary’s honesty and trustworthiness should give every Democrat pause.


Be sure to blame the Mr Obamas campaign when the Media begins holding Ms Clintons feet to the same fire that Mr Obama has just passed through with flying colors.


We are all entitled to support and oppose whomever we choose, but I challenge my online friends to call this “full assault” on Hillary’s character for what it is.


Give a name to any character question a couching in a victim classification because obviously it is a FULL ASSULT to ask character questions of our candidates and any character question of Ms Clinton is an attack and not a measure of Ms Clinton's character or negatives in their own right.

Leadership is not often equated to those who aspire to victimhood.
