Video: Hillary returns fire at “the Republican attack machine”

Reminding voters of her epic battles with the GOP in the 1990s won’t play well in a tight race against Obama’s message of “change,” which is probably why this one’s been shunted off to New Hampshire, where she leads by double digits, instead of Iowa. It’s a curious exercise in leveraging partisan hate, too: according to this spot, the Republicans running the attack machine are Mitt and McCain, not her nemesis from New York who knocks her every chance he gets and who (judging by the attention paid him on Olbermann’s show) has become a lightning rod for the left thanks to his “neocon” foreign policy team. If you’re going to shoot, Hillary, at least aim for the target.

Yeah, no Rudy?
She wants to be able to say say in the general election, “I’ve never smeared him.”

Rather reminds me of “Billy and the Aspirin Factory”.
She shoots! She….misses…..

Did the democratic controlled congress put forth a balanced budget? Nope, but it’s still a republican deficit

Speaking of shooting, I can’t wait to see her looking for a hunting license.
JammieWearingFool on November 20, 2007 at 9:42 AM
Anyone have any clue what in the hell she’s talking about?
EduardoOTI on November 20, 2007 at 9:44 AM
You can’t smear Rudy. He’s actually done all the things they made up about him.
JiangxiDad on November 20, 2007 at 9:45 AM
if she is so easily upset by personal attacks how does she plan on dealing with chaves or almonddinnerjacket? they call people names all the time…

It was no surprise that Wolf Blitzer, who is a lamb chop, didn’t ask Hillary Clinton the following question: “You served on the Board of Directors for WalMart when WalMart was not providing health insurance benefits for all of its employees. How much were you personally paid by WalMart for your service on the Board of Directors and what memos did you write to Mr. Walton asking him to expand health care benefits for WalMart employees”. I suspect Hillary would have said that she expanded health care benefits and raised the issue repeatedly. As in other Clinton tall tales, there will be no written documents to prove her claim but it won’t be possible to prove that her boast is a fib. Nor will she come clean about how much money she received from WalMarts. She will say something about how she released that information years ago and then say “This administration….”

She’s got no quarrel with Chavez; she probably envies him shutting down opposition TV stations. He’ll be invited to the Whitehouse within 2 years.
Flaming nutboy in Tehran will probably not get a Lincoln bedroom berth, due to the outrage it would cause her among the rubes (that’s us); but I bet he will become a ’strategic partner’ of ours; in reality, he’ll be the kind of partner that chucks a rufie in our collective drink and spends the night filming what he does to us and posts it on the internet for the world to see.

That was a snoozer.
And how would she respond to the Islamofascist Attack Machine? Maybe the way her “experience” has taught her: Do a slick attack ad condemning them. That should stop it.
eeyore on November 20, 2007 at 10:12 AM
Aspirin factory, Monica’s ???, etc.
Does she have a clue to what she is talking about?
Ironic that with hsu many questionable actions and connections, the v@gina-american resorts to “vast right wing conspiracy – the boys are picking on me” as a response for everything.
jdkchem on November 20, 2007 at 10:12 AM
I believe those memos are sealed until 2012. At that time the world will know that it was Col. Mustard in the living room with a candle stick.
jdkchem on November 20, 2007 at 10:16 AM
That “right wing conspiracy” never dies. The campaign slogan that never ends.
right2bright on November 20, 2007 at 10:18 AM
What’s good for the Goose, isn’t good for the “right wing conspiracy”?

The Hillary attack machine preemptive strike for the attacks that have not yet come , but to steel the backbone of her supports warning of the impending peril.
CommentGuy on November 20, 2007 at 10:29 AM
Do.not.let.her.define the debate.
If Republicans want the winners circle they must take the initiative and set the agenda.
The typical liberal weakness, very poor target recognition.
Speakup on November 20, 2007 at 10:36 AM
This isn’t quite fair. Perhaps, Hilary’s advisors don’t believe that Rudy can win the Republican nomination.
thuja on November 20, 2007 at 10:45 AM
Playing the victim card is what she does best.
It will only work again if someone in the media breaks another of Bill’s ongoing affairs.
Valiant on November 20, 2007 at 10:46 AM
lame
nailinmyeye on November 20, 2007 at 10:47 AM
“Why is everybody always pickin’ on me?”
frreal on November 20, 2007 at 10:58 AM
EXPERIENCE DOING WHAT???
ctmom on November 20, 2007 at 11:00 AM
I’m just waiting for the Swift Boat type adds with the Women BJ has raped/molested/widowed. . .
P.S.
Thank you, now I’m going to have that song stuck in my head all day.
MirCat on November 20, 2007 at 11:11 AM
No wonder Bill has a wondering eye. Hiilary gags me.
saiga on November 20, 2007 at 11:12 AM
It might be a good spot. Many Republicans have basically rolled over and lost their conservative values.
Kini on November 20, 2007 at 11:23 AM
Why would a woman who’s so abused and hateful she would just as soon sling FU at a man continue to have anything to do with a non stop womanizer like Bill?
Speakup on November 20, 2007 at 11:55 AM
Brilliant campaign strategy, just blame everything on the “Evil Rethuglikkkans!”
infidel4life on November 20, 2007 at 12:33 PM
Good one. Almost like Chuck Norris.
Attila (Pillage Idiot) on November 20, 2007 at 12:54 PM
Nope.
You might not want to know.
Then again, if you’re like me, you have a morbid fascination with the Clinton train wreck and all that gets run over in the process.
4shoes on November 20, 2007 at 2:05 PM
What experience is Hillary referring to?
Help me out here.
swami on November 20, 2007 at 2:14 PM
They cut that ad short. A few lines were left out, such as:
“One candidate – that’ll raise your taxes so the government can spend it on congressional pet projects.”
“One candidate – that will gut the military to the point that we can’t defend ourselves from Mexico, should they invade us.”
“One candidate – that uses four letter words so much, she makes Snoop Dog look like a choirboy.”
“One candidate – who has miraculously been able to get campaign contributions from just about everyone she and Bill pardoned during his presidency.”

I would like to suggest to Hot Air that it have a daily bulletin board in which readers could list the questions for Hillary Clinton which the MSM, and in particular Hillary Clinton, will never ask.
My nomination is as follows: Mrs. Clinton: You claimed over the years that you were named after Sir Edmund Hillary: Yet Sir Edmund Hillary summited Mount Everest in 1953, several years after you were born. How is it possible that you were named after Sir Edmund Hillary? Will you concede that the story is pure fiction?
Larraby on November 20, 2007 at 3:07 PM
should have said “will never be asked”. Sorry
Larraby on November 20, 2007 at 3:07 PM
One candidate to rule them all and in the Senate bind them. . .
