Comrade Hillary round up

Published by Karl under OTA, hillary

Hillary has had quite the newsworthy day, and I decided to roll it all into a giant Hillary Round Up.

First up is this protest that interrupted an appearance in California.  The anti war crowd continues to make her life interesting as she continues to try and have it both ways.

Coffin Delays Clinton Fundraiser

A fundraising event for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was delayed three hours while the Sacramento County bomb squad investigated a coffin brought to the area by anti-war protesters.

Anti-war activists Virginia and Stephen Pearcy, who made headlines in February 2005 for hanging an effigy of a soldier on their Land Park area home, brought a flag-draped coffin as a protest against United States involvement in Iraq.

Shortly before 6 p.m. Thursday, the Secret Service began to conduct a sweep of the area and asked to look inside the coffin. Pearcy refused, stating that they had no probable cause to do so. This prompted the Secret Service to call in local law enforcement and a bomb squad.

Ah the sweet smell of unhinged nutroots. 

This story details just why the war vote is such an issue.

Hillary’s Political Horror Story

Slowly, very slowly, Hillary Clinton’s vote to invade Iraq is turning into a political horror story. It is the moldering hand of a murder victim coming out of the grave to grab her by the ankle.

Bodies would not be jumping out at the candidate of the money wing of the Democratic Party if she had only said she made a mistake in voting for the war, but she has refused to do that so often that if she did it now she would open herself up to a chorus of catcalls.

Which as we saw she is already getting…from her own supporters.

She may be concerned that a retraction will make her look weak. So her line of defense has been, “My vote was a sincere vote based on the facts and assurances that I had at the time.” She says it over and over again
