One of the first rules of media and public relations work is "don't repeat the negative charges against you." Meaning, if someone asks "aren't you an idiot?", you do not reply "no, I'm not an idiot," but rather, you respond "I'm actually quite intelligent and here's why."
Well, the Clinton campaign, attempting to convince us that Obama is black, I mean, too uppity, I mean, too negative, sent an email to a number of bloggers detailing all the horribly negative things Obama has said about Hillary. (This, intending to convince us that Obama is actually just as nasty as Hillary, if not moreso.) Included in that email was the following list of charges about Hillary that Obama and his supporters have leveled. I'll list, and comment on them, in turn:
"Disingenuous" - uh, yeah
"Too polarizing to win" - uh, YEAH. Biggest negatives of any candidate, nearly half the country has said they will refuse to vote for her, the only candidate that can rejuvenate the dispirited right-wing and send our candidates in red states down the drain.
'Divisive' - Yeah, she certainly hasn't caused any division amongst Democrats, including the 25% of her supporters who now say they won't vote for our party's candidate in the fall, and her donors who are now extorting the DNC.
"Untruthful" - Peace in Ireland, anyone?
"Dishonest" - She created the children's health insurance program after she opposed it.
'Calculating' - Does anyone really believe that Hillary is a hawk?
"Saying and doing whatever it takes to win" - I hear that John McCain would make a great president, especially compared to that black guy.
"Attempting to deceive the American people" - See Norther Ireland, SCHIP, and the death-defying USO tour in Kosovo with Sinbad, Cheryl Crow and Chelsea.
"One of the most secretive politicians in America" - Tax returns are for the little people.
"Literally willing to do anything to win" - Delegate counts are for the little people.
"Playing politics with war" - Unlike you and me, Hillary lived through September 11.
