HRC's multitude of negative and untrue Obama mailers. Why isn't the media referencing these?

[Windy]

I mean I thought they were all biased against Hillary!...

www.factcheck.org/

Hillary mailers twistObama’s words and gives a false picture of his proposals:

It says he "wants to raise Social Security taxes by a trillion dollars," a big distortion. Obama has said a “good option” would be to apply Social Security payroll taxes to incomes over $97,500 a year, but that would only affect taxes paid by 6.5 percent of individuals and couples. And he hasn’t formally proposed such a move anyway.


The Clinton mailer says Obama has "no plan" for a moratorium on foreclosures such as the one Clinton has proposed. That’s true, but Obama has his own plan for homeowner relief. The mailer leaves the impression that Obama has "no plan" at all, which is false.


It says Obama "voted for Dick Cheney's energy bill that gives huge tax breaks to oil companies," another distortion. By the time Congress passed the 2005 energy bill, it raised taxes on the oil industry more than it decreased them and also contained billions for alternative fuels research and subsidies for energy-efficient buildings and vehicles.
Analysis
The battle between Democratic front-runners Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is turning into one fought with good old-fashioned snail mail. Both have launched attacks on the other through fliers delivered to voters' mailboxes. Here we take a look at a recent Clinton mailer sent out in Arizona, which was posted on The Atlantic magazine's Web site. Clinton has made similar claims in a mailer distributed in Nevada and in Democratic debates.


Trillion-Dollar Tax Hike


Perhaps the most eye-catching claim in the Clinton mailer is the charge that Obama "wants to raise Social Security taxes by a trillion dollars." That's an awful distortion. Nothing Obama has proposed or supported would affect Social Security taxes paid by the overwhelming majority of workers.
Clinton Mailer on Economic Issues


Which presidential candidate will solve America’s toughest economic problems?

Only Hillary Clinton has the right solutions for America.

Hillary Clinton. A plan to cut taxes for the middle class. A comprehensive plan to end the housing crisis with a moratorium on foreclosures and a freeze in mortgage rates for at-risk homeowners. Redirect billions in oil company profits to alternative energy research to find solutions to our energy crisis and create 5 million

1. Because the only news I can get now is ClintonNN.

If it wasn't a weekend, we might hear someone who's a bit more non-partisan.

[Metric System]

8. Clinton News Network? More freeper talking points.

[babylonsister]

11. Pay attention, because it's true. I noticed it months ago.

And I don't talk to freepers or read fr, so I wouldn't know what they're saying.

It also explains why they had Begala and Carville on the payroll as analysts when they're married, or were, to her campaign.

[Metric System]

16. No, it's not true. Gloria Borger's always taking swipes at Hillary, and Cafferty's been bashing her

a lot too. Plus, there's that bloated gasbag Carl Bernstein.

[babylonsister]

18. I'm not the only one who's noticed this whether you want to accept

that reality or not.

2. Hillary pokes another stick in the beehive.

She tried it with "change you can xerox". Failed. She's trying it now with "mailers you can xerox?". Will fail shortly.

[lligrd]

3. Because Obama Didn't Go On A Hysterical Rant About Them? nt

[yourguide]

6. That is correct

Hillary is playing the mommy he's picking on me card.

4. kick

5. I sent emails (as an Ohio voter) laced with fact and links.

[mod mom]

7. "OHIO GOP ROOTS FOR HILLARY":

Maybe this is why:

[goldcanyonaz]

9. Where in the article does it tell them to vote for her?

[mod mom]

10. It's not telling voters to necessarily vote for her but that the OH GOP Party hopes

she wins. They want to run against her.

[goldcanyonaz]

12. The mailers the GOP has out for Obama tells them to vote for him. Big difference.

[mod mom]

15. your link please? (especially when so much coming out of Hillary's campaign

has been proven false, it's nice to have things sourced.

:hi:

[mod mom]

13. here is what the conservative Cincinnati Enquirer wrote:

"she will be the one who unites their dispirited and divided party and gives them their best chance of keeping the White House this fall."

[Vinca]

14. The media always picks on the frontrunner.

Obama supporters must get used to this because it will be going on from now until after the November election.

[Skwmom]

17. Yes, isn't it amazing how Clinton's bogus mailers are never covered.

But what can you expect from CNN (Clinton News Network).
