I don’t give Clinton the credit Olbermann does for possibly not being behind this attack campaign as a deliberate strategy, though. She’s shown many times over that she’s not that naive or that dumb. She’s doing the Bush thing of having a proxy make a sleazy attack, then waiting almost too long and finally giving a half-assed disavowal so she can say she didn’t approve of it. At this point the Clinton campaign seems to be channeling Lee Atwater and Karl Rove.
I’m glad Olbermann did this, and I think he cost himself some viewership to do so. At the same time, there’s a growing segment of this country who are craving principled stands. He met that criteria and then some.
It IS acting like Republicans, and it’s time somebody with a big audience said so.
LJ, he does give the Clinton camp a certain amount of the benefit of the doubt. As a journalist he has to do that. I too agree that Hillary’s minions or surrogates are capable of these types of dirty tricks. She plays the same games the Republicans do and for a reason-It worked for Karl Rove and company for the last eight plus years.
Jet, The Hillary-ites probably got pissed off bad..which says something to me..if people can not take criticism of their candidate, they are delusional. No candidate running for President is free of political favors and they all play fast and loose with the truth..every last one of them.
Obama isn’t perfect, but he has kept to the issues more than Hillary, which is commendable.

Yow! Talk about being taken to the woodshed.
