Clinton Camp Pushes O-Bomber Links: Ignores Her Own Radical Ties
Clinton, Obama Spar on Ties to Radicals

The Hillary Clinton campaign pushed to reporters today stories about Barack Obama and his ties to former members of a radical domestic terrorist group -- but did not note that as president, Clinton's husband pardoned more than a dozen convicted violent radicals, including a member of the same group mentioned in the Obama stories.

"Wonder what the Republicans will do with this issue," mused Clinton spokesman Phil Singer in one e-mail to the media, containing a New York Sun article reporting a $200 contribution from William Ayers, a founding member of the 1970s group Weather Underground, to Obama in 2001.

In a separate e-mail, Singer forwarded an article from the Politico newspaper reporting on a 1995 event at a private home that brought Obama together with Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, another member of the radical group.

Opting to leave any attacks on the issue to the GOP may be wise, as attacks from Clinton could backfire. In his final day in office, President Clinton pardoned another one-time member of the Weather Underground, Susan L. Rosenberg, after she had served 16 years in prison on federal charges.

...

"If the Clinton campaign is truly concerned about the exploitation of the Weather Underground issue by the Republican attack machine, perhaps they should focus on the pardon of some of its members in the waning days of the Clinton administration," said Obama spokesman Bill Burton.

1. Joe McCarthy lives

As far as I am concerned, Clinton has hit rock bottom with this one. No redemption is possible.

3. This is par for the flailing and desperate campaign

and this shit will blow right back into her well made up face.

[blm]

11. That's how I felt after reading Bill's book. That is when the benefit of the doubt years ended.

2. wow. they really are sinking to repuke lows.

If ever there was a case where there's not there there, this is it. but have at it, Clinton campaign, it just makes Obama stronger. My contempt for her campaign couldn't grow much stronger. They're utterly politically tone deaf. Pathetic. No wonder her campaign if fucked.

4. you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows

hmm....that a Weatherman thought Obama is ok enough to contribute to him might be a plus in some folks' eyes.....

5. What group?

Let me guess...the Black Panthers right?

9. Weather Underground nt

6. It is despicable that the Clinton campaign is writing

Republican talking points for them. Trying to pass this type of smear off as speculation for what the Rs will do is vile.

[cali]

8. eh, they're just desperate and it's not like the repukes

don't already have this in their goody bag. Sure it's contemptible, but hardly surprising coming from the sinking S.S. Hillary.

7. desperate times call for desperate measures from a desperate candidate

or so she seems to think

[bunnies]

10. Playing the part of republicans again.

Why am I not surprised. And once again... the Obama camp throws it back in their faces.

This just might go down as one of the most poorly run presidential campaigns in history. Its shockingly disgraceful.
