Silly Hillary campaign whines about McCarthy comment in new fundraising plea
:rofl: "Bozo the Clown" Hour at ClintonInc.

The Clinton campaign just sent this email out to donors:

Dear Friend,

Do you think Bill Clinton is like Joe McCarthy?

Of course you don't. Neither do I. But Barack Obama must because this past weekend, his campaign compared President Clinton to Joe McCarthy. Joe McCarthy!

Ever since we won in Ohio and Texas we have been seeing these kinds of personal attacks from the Obama campaign. It's hard to believe that a campaign that talks so much about changing the tenor of our politics would employ these kinds of tactics, but its the kind of thing we are seeing every day from Senator Obama and his campaign.

Here is just a small sample of the words they have used to describe Hillary and her campaign: "disingenuous," "divisive," "untruthful," "dishonest," and much more.

Well I'm not going to stand for it, and neither should you. There's no better way to fight back than to show your support for our campaign in the face of these attacks.

Click here to make a contribution and help us fight the negative attacks.

I appreciate everything you're doing to help Hillary win, and I know she does too. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Terry McAuliffe
Chairman, Hillary Clinton for President

1. He's right. Joe McCarthy never stooped so low
to compare his former political comrades as Judas
(only Commie)

10. that's okay. James Carville compared her to Jesus. Sort of cancels
each other out, though I give points for Jesus being Jesus.

5. Why do they keep saying they 'won' in Texas? Obama got more delegates.

12. I thought the Primary was based...
on winning 'delegates'. Ooops! I forgot! The Clinton's changed the rules! But she's losing the popular vote, so I thought that didn't matter anymore. Isn't it back to being about the delegates again?

Here is just a small sample of the words they have used to describe Hillary and her campaign: "disingenuous," "divisive," "untruthful," "dishonest," and much more.

15. They lie to their donors too.. You're right it does stick
in people's minds. Guv Richardson said bill clinton reminded him of joe mccarthy because of his campaign tactics saying Obama doesn't love his country but hilly and johnny do. hilary called Obama "UnAmerican" and that's where mccarthyism comes in again.

Edited on Tue Mar-25-08 04:52 PM by zidzi
your major asshole carville compared Gov Richardson to Judas.

hilary clinton sent me a donation request in the mail and said they were "going all the way". She didn't tell us that it was all the way to hell.
