3. Somewhat but,
as a realist I know they would
and will come up with plenty on
their own. They are spinning the
spin. Only the 20 odd percent of
Bushbots believe Drudge as the truth.
Those same people will never be convinced
that anything anti-Dem is incorrect and
a lie in the media. I have confidence
that the majority of Democrats have
enough sense to weed out the irrelevant
bullshit that comes with a campaign.
They had sense enough to be Democrats to
start with. You do not have much faith
in the intelligence of the Democratic
voters if you do not think they can discern
between journalistic reporting and media-
biased spin.

6. Gotcha.
Hillary is the new Clenis.

She is blamed for everything
that goes wrong with this primary
season because we all know that the
republicans have never smeared the
Democrats without some help from the
Democrats.

5. Drudge does not write the lines.

Hillary is responsible for the words.

11. Obama: "As far as I know, Hillary is not behind the Muslim rumors.
Did he actually say that?

Nope. He hasn't the class to. Instead, he has deliberately left the impression that the HRC Campaign MIGHT BE the source of those rumors.

On that same 60 Minutes interview, when Kroft asked BO where the "Muslim" rumors were coming from, Barrack was careful to leave the impression that they might be coming from the Hillary campaign.
He never actually came out and SAID so (just as Hillary never SAID he was Muslim), but he never clearly stated that she was NOT behind the rumors, even though he knows she isn't the same way Hillary knows he is not a Muslim.

At least Hillary had the class to say, "Of course not!" when asked if the Obama-is-a-Muslim rumors were true. (Although bias-minded Obamites intentionally overlook that part of what she said.)

But when it was Barack's turn to put down an equally ugly rumor (actually an uglier one), he let it go right by, permitting it to run free and do more damage. Barack never moved a muscle to indicate that even "as far as he knew" Hillary did not start those nasty rumors.

He let the suspicion live, indicating he thinks Hillary actally MIGHT be behind these rumors, which is what many BO supporters really DO believe and repeat -- absent a shred of proof -- even while they shriek at Hillary to deny untrue rumors, something their own candidate has not enough character to do.

12. Hillary's cam is still in "no comment" mode about firing her campaign staff in Iowa and the Somali
picture. Why should Obama address that on her behalf when she hasn't addressed it herself?
