shooting at mall in omaha…MSNBC lists it as sniper

Not to make light of the news story but Omaha is awfully close to Obama…….. Wonder how long it will take Hillary’s people to leak stuff that suggests her opponent was the sniper.

Not to mention that the smear-mail is so badly written that I would be surprised if many of its recipients even read it. Would you read past the first couple of lines, with its misspellings and gratuitous overuse of asterisks and all-caps for emphasis? It looks like a junk chain-letter to me, complete with its assertion that it checks out at Snopes.com (”check for yourself!!!”) and its repeated pleas to “pass this on to everyone you know!!!” I halfway expected it to conclude with the classic warning that something terrible will happen to me if I don’t pass it on RIGHT NOW!

I “shutter” at how bad this smear-mail is. I’m surprised it got any attention at all, it’s so bad.

I think all the frontrunners are looking for generals if they can find them, because not a one of the frontrunners on either side (except John McCain) has any military experience of their own.

Clark is a shoo-in for a key position in the Clinton administration. Remember, he has Arkansas ties and Bill Clinton was the one that elevated him to the Supreme Allied Commander of NATO job over far more experienced (and competent IMO) generals.

I’m not so sure how much the military experience thing plays with the public anymore. I’d hope that whomever is POTUS surronds themselves with the smartest most able people they can find. Clark is one of those peacock generals- all show and no real credentials beyond running a 27-day high altitude “war” against a nation without a viable air threat.

Update: Here’s the smear-mail.

Wow. Glad that came from a Democrat. If it had come from a Republican, we’d never, ever hear the end of it–all the accusations of intolerance, islamophobia, dishonesty, unethical tactics, etc., etc., etc. As it is, it’ll probably blow over by tonight, and the general public will never hear a word about it.

The only place that military experience card plays well is with civilians. If military experience was all that grand why ain’t Duncan Hunter leading the field of Republicans?

Yes, I’m sure candidates who are looking at generals for VP are targeting civilians with this strategy. But you’re also right on your other point–for some reason, military experience is not factoring high with voters this time around, which is strange given the fact that we’re at war and all. Military experience is not a requirement for president, but I’ve always considered it a big plus.

But then again, there’s guys like Murtha who prove that simply having military experience doesn’t necessarily make one a good judge of wartime strategy, or even a patriot.

If Obama is serious, then he has more on her than she could ever have on him. Does he have the cajones to bring out the real dirt on Hillary?

I think all candidates probably know there are some overzealous supporters out there doing unethical things in their efforts to help their candidates win. The important thing to observe in these cases is how convincingly the candidate denounces such behavior. In Hillary’s case, I would not be surprised at all if she gives a public spanking while privately not caring a bit about the bad behavior. She would be far more annoyed that the person was dumb enough to get caught than that they did it in the first place–kinda like when Bill got caught cheating on her. You could tell she was more upset about him getting caught than doing it in the first place.

Yeah, Weaselly definitely loosened up and became more animated about 6 months ago. Plasticman Clark is just another reason not to vote Dem. This country is in real big trouble if we ever bring back the Clinton regime.

The vast majority of campaign workers are volunteers. A county coordinator is different from your average volunteer who is making signs and knocking on doors. That being said, no way Hillary would have wanted this to happen. Just reinforces all the negatives about her. If they could get away with it they would, but it just bites them back 10X more to go negative with such garbage at this point, I think.

This is the same woman who pounces upon the failures and divisiveness of the Bush Administration, regardless of whether President Bush had any specific knowledge of it.

Culture of Corruption, anyone? Politics of Personal Destruction, maybe?
