I came across this little snarky nugget in Op Ed News that I think says it all about the current state of the Clinton campaign and the public perception of it.
Hillary Clinton’s enabling of the Iraq war disaster, and her subsequent refusal to apologize for it, has by far been the left’s biggest gripe the presidential candidate, and understandably so. Her role in enabling this painfully misguided war is a stain on her record, and on this country.
But her view on Iraq, however unforgivable, only represents part of the reason why progressives should oppose a Clinton candidacy with vigor. And even if she were to get down on her knees, admit her foreign policy follies, and beg us to accept her apology for the infamous 2002 vote to authorize Bush to go to war, it would be a huge mistake for the left to support her candidacy.
The other reason? It’s her affiliation with the Democratic Leadership Council, stupid!
Oh how we all love the DLC… you remember that group that blamed Howard Dean for the “failure” last November? The failure that resulted in the historic Democratic election wins? Yeah, the Love Lieberman crowd.
Whay should David Geffen apologize for how he feels? Should the rest of us Hillary “non-believers” also serve up genuflecting apologizes?
Uh… fuck no I think is the correct answer.
