All politicians lie, right? That’s all they do. So this stunningly detailed tale of false heroism that happens to be false in every significant regard can’t possibly say anything negative about the character of Hillary Clinton. In fact, if you listen to Hillary bloggers, we shouldn’t bring any of this stuff up because it will just hurt the feelings of Clinton’s supporters, who are expressing an increasing unwillingness to vote for Obama in the general. This is apparently my fault, and not the fault of Hillary Clinton saying that Obama is too inexperienced, naive, and racially divisive to be president.
Let me give you just a taste of what the Clinton campaign is up to this afternoon. They sent one of their flacks onto MSNBC to defend Clinton against criticisms over her lying and of her using Obama’s choice of church against him. And the guy actually said that it was Obama that said we need to have a conversation about race in this country and it was hypocritical of Obama to complain about it when Hillary took him up on his offer. That’s the new talking point. That’s the level the Clinton campaign in now operating on. It’s the absolute gutter.
