Hillary Screeching; a clear sign that her campaign is in it’s death throes…
From Kenneth Vogel, in Politico….
CINCINNATI, Ohio — Hillary Rodham Clinton ripped Barack Obama Saturday for mailings his campaign is sending to Ohio voters that Clinton said distorted her record on NAFTA and universal health care.“Shame on you, Barack Obama,” Clinton said angrily when talking to reporters after a rally in a technical college gym here. “It is time you ran a campaign consistent with your messages in public. That’s what I expect from you,” she said, calling on Obama to repudiate and stop the mailings, which she waved demonstratively.
“Meet me in Ohio. Let’s have a debate about your tactics,” she said, calling the mailings “tactics that are right out of Karl Rove’s playbook.”
Don’t pick on me, I’m a girl!
Well, Hillary, if you want to win, then you had better learn that Karl Rove (That Magnificent BastardTM) defeated the best the Democrats could muster. Sounds to me like there’s an undertone of jealousy from Hillary, that Obama could actually beat her in the first place; so invoking the specter of evil Rovian politics makes her seem victimized. Democrats will wear the mantle of victimhood at the drop of a hat. Something as common as tying shoelaces, for Democrats. ‘Victim of this, victim of that…GET OVER IT!’
And, comparing Clintonian Politics and Rovian Politics…at least people don’t wake up dead from the latter. Vince Foster, anyone?
Not content just to bring up Rove, Mrs. William Clinton flings some dank, redolent BDS poo….Hillary compares Obama to George Bush, circa 2000!
She said Bush “promised change as a compassionate conservative, and the American people got shafted and we’re going to have to make up for it,” she said. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”
Don’t you love it when the Dems talk dirty to each other? “Bush!” “Rove!”
Last year, a Clintonian spokesperson called Bush Comparisons “the worst kind of tactical political maneuvering”. Worse than, say, the Clinton’s history of interjecting race into their races?
From Mr. Bill Clinton’s campaign, in 1992…
“During his famed “Sister Souljah” moment in June 1992, Bill Clinton went before Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition and condemned the black rapper for seeming to justify the Los Angeles riots and advocate the killing of whites. “Her comments before and after Los Angeles were filled with the kind of hatred that you do not honor,” Clinton said. His remarks were cheered by establishment pundits, but they stirred controversy and resentment among prominent black political figures.”Clinton’s speech was arrogant, and it was cheap,” longtime civil rights activist Roger Wilkins told the New York Times. “He came there to show suburban whites that he can stand up to blacks. It was contrived.” The Reverend Jesse Jackson accused Clinton of staging “a very well-planned sneak attack, without the courage to confront but with a calculation to embarrass,” intended “purely to appeal to conservative whites.” Harlem Congressman Charlie Rangel, now a top supporter of Hillary Clinton, labeled Bill’s behavior “insulting.”
And don’t forget Mr. Clinton’s early racial insensitivity, sending racist postcards from Georgetown University during the height of the Civil Rights Campaign…
Bill Clinton is a long-time master of political gamesmanship; if Rove has a Democratic counterpart, that person would be Bill…at least, in his heyday. Today, he’s relegated to the closet, to stay out of trouble. He’s carrying so much baggage that, if Hillary were just a New York Senator, unmarried to an ex-President, she might be much more palatable a candidate than is the woman we see who’s dragging Bill Clinton along with her.
Hell, if Bill were not her husband, I might look twice, and not be so dismissive…
Well, no.
Quotation emboldenings mine.

Sunday UPDATE!
Today, Hillary comes out scorching Obama in a campaign rally in RI. At Huffpo, a video. And this juicyness…
“Hillary Clinton’s campaign is on its last legs after suffering a string of defeats to her rival Barack Obama. Clinton made the decision to go negative in an effort to halt Obama’s rising momentum. On Saturday, she also accused Obama’s campaign of using negative tactics “right out of Karl Rove’s playbook” in mailers that misrepresent her positions on NAFTA and healthcare. Obama called the mailings accurate.
Today, Clinton was at a campaign rally in Providence, Rhode Island, and she mocked Obama and his message of hope and change in a very theatrical, over-the-top manner.
Watch the video from CNN below, and tell HuffPost whether you think Clinton’s line of attack against Obama will help or hurt her campaign:
Also at Huffpo, Deranged Democrats take pot shots at each other, and at Hillary…
Hillary’s thighs are too fat for a Commander-in-Chief. (Bush is bad enough. Seen those pics of him in his bike leotards?) She’d have to drum herself out of the service for not meeting minimal ht/wt standards. Those thunder-thighs would squeek together as she waddled up to the lecturn to take the oath of office. Bad example those thighs are to the latest generation facing diabetes and obesity as their number 1 obstacle.
And I thought I was hard on Hillary! I’m practically a gentleman compared to the Obamaniacs!
(Oh, and for the Obamaniacs, the Obamen…)
