HillaryIs44.org: Should RC disown this attack site?

Senator Barack Obama (D-Rezko) must be a very unhappy and miserable man today. As Fathers Day weekend was approaching he decided to unload buckets of his Chicago mud politics on Hillary.

This is from a new website called www.Hillaryis44.org.

A primary focus of the www.Hillaryis44.org is to go negative on HRC's opponents, presently Obama, by collecting and reprinting dirt on them. When one clicks on the "contribution" tab you are taken to the contributions page on HRC's main campaign website. At the same time, the site disowns any connection to HRC's campaign. Is this true?

The goal of negative campaigning (which I define as sharp personal attacks on your opponent) is to undermine support and demoralize the base of your opponent.

While promoting HRC, an equal focus of the site is throwing mud at Obama. He is mocked Obama as "The Senator From Rezko." One entry makes fun of an upcoming Obama related-concert that is not sold out. Another recent entry against Obama (on Father's Day, ) entitled "Unhappy Fathers Day," states:

Senator Barack Obama (D-Rezko) must be a very unhappy and miserable man today. As Fathers Day weekend was approaching he decided to unload buckets of his Chicago mud politics on Hillary. As with most things the clumsy and lurching Obama campaign attempts, the mud bucket missed its intended target. Instead the mud buckets disgorged at the point of origin. Workers at Obama's Chicago campaign headquarters must now wear hip-high swamp boots to navigate their way from floating desk to floating desk, all in danger of being carried away by the mud.

Today at Hillary Is 44:

Add to these woes the storm that is coming. No we don’t mean the Rezko trial. We mean the Hillary campaign rolling out its well planned efforts to win Iowa:

“It’s official now: former President Bill Clinton will campaign for his wife, Hillary, in Iowa, from July 2 through Independence Day.”

Knowing the Hillary campaign will dominate the free Iowa airwaves during the July 4 holiday Obama did what all desperate candidates do: pay for what you can’t get for free.

Obama joined Governor Bill Richardson and Senator Christopher Dodd with television commercials airing in Iowa. John Edwards also launched his effort in New Hampshire. Obama, the media darling for these many months, is going paid media to repair his self-scorched image. Hillary meanwhile continues her climb by sheer hard work. The Hillary website now beats the Obama website in popularity. Obama’s supposed core consitutency, Young Democrats prefer Hillary to Obama. African-Americans still support Hillary over Obama.

Hillary Is 44

because Democrats want to be just like the Republicans!

(The general election is going to be interesting!)
