Hillary has ran a Swiftboat campaign
of the lowest kind. She is no better than the GOP.

14. Poster has been here as long as you......
calling DUer names because of what they post about political figures is a cheap shot and is against DU rules.

18. Howard Fineman described Clinton's 60 Minutes performance
as Machiavellian and Nixonian.
The OP isn't the only one who sees what went on.

Unfortunately Obama will now go hard negative on Clinton.
Already announced are full-throttle attacks on the Clinton tax returns and the Clinton library funders.

By the time this is over, we can just hand McCain the White House.
Only a unity ticket - now - can save us from certain defeat.

21. Swiftboating by any other name.....
is still swiftboating!


In the grander scheme of things, it does not matter if you win or loose, it is HOW YOU PLAYED THE GAME.

22. How do you get a unity ticket when each side wants their choice as President
I read in various books that rewarding bad behavior results in more bad behavior.

It is not negative to demand HRC's tax returns adn even less so to demand that they say who the multi million dollar foundation funders were. Not to mention - ask both to follow Kerry's precedent in releasing all the meetings they had with lobbyists since they joined Congress. Kerry did this voluntarily to demonstrate his faith in his claim that he could defend all of them. In his case, he gave information for 15 years.

6. We have to raise the bar sometime.

4. I reminds me more of Nixon's southern strategy.
Only more geographically distributed.

10. Canada TV exposes another one of Hillary's swiftboat lies
A hollow victory based on a lie. CBC (Canada TV) exonerates Obama on NAFTAgate

13. Good
because when Obama gets out of this with the nomination he will be stronger and ready for the republicans
Remember in February, Hillary had 20 point leads in Ohio. In Texas her lead was in the double digits
If you are pushed against the wall its at leat nice to have the advantage, which Obama does. And you know his campaign has been holding back

15. Not every campaign attack is swiftboating.
The term is way overused here.

Swiftboating is just making something up that goes directly to the perceived strength of your opponent. Kerry was running as a decorated vet, and the swiftboats called that very attribute into question.

The closest thing to real swiftboating we've seen this year is the attempt to portray the clintons as racists.

20. and they are not exploiting race
"Clinton campaign making Obama "blacker" courtesy of Daily Kos

23. the nafta incident could be considered swiftboating or even the other with
that has something to do with a guy on trial possibly.

other things they implement are rove tools that are not swiftboating. you are right. not all hillary campaign has done in the name of dirty politics is technically swiftboating.

24. i was clear with my boys last 8 years what was happening in this community
religious right, ultra conservative religious belt area and how ushcos and the religious manipulated the people to hate. i cannot condone it now, even for a vote. again it would be manipulating me for a vote, .... not wanting mccain. what would be the difference between me and the people i have called out, called cowards for not standing up to their party, .... told them they should feel shame creating the hating.

i won't give this to my children.

25. You are laughable. HRC showed she has guts and a sense of
humor. This campaign has become all about her.
