Clinton Adviser Compares Obama Mailer to Nazi March
Alright, which one of you is this guy (Len Nichols)?

SNIP
Advisers to Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton Friday complained vehemently about an Obama campaign mailer that criticizes Clinton's health plan, with one adviser likening the mailer to "Nazis marching through Skokie, Illinois."

3. did you read paragraph 2?
Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson disavowed the analogy leveled by Len Nichols, a health policy expert at the New America Foundation who has consulted with Clinton and other candidates on their proposals.

how does that make him a 'Clinton adviser', if he consulted 'other candidates' also?

4. Yes, and I expect others to as well

This isn't an anti-clinton hit post from me. It just underlines for me how over-the-top things have gotten in some quarters.

Oh and the 'clinton advisor' is the headline over at TPM.

7. Hillary's plan is not meaningful health care reform.
Giving the insurance companies more customers is not health care reform. Single Payer is meaningful health care reform. And no one has told me how Obama's flyer is innacurate.

8. It is, and Obama is poisoning the well for health care reform
I'm shocked, but I shouldn't be. He's done some pretty unbelievable things so far in this campaign, but this one takes the cake. There's no excuse for deliberately harming the effort to pass health care reform just to score points.
