Clinton an Artful Dodger?

[illinoisprogressive]

Finally, someone in the media is noticing and taking a harder look at Hillary. The media so far has let her skate on everything and not asked any of the hard questions about her and her kid glove treatment.
It is far past time for Hillary to be treated like everyone else running.

-- Slick Hillary? Former President Clinton earned the nickname "Slick Willy" for his mastery in the political arts of ducking and dodging. He had a knack for convincing people on both sides of an issue that he agreed with them.

His wife may not be as smooth, but Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is doing a passable impression of the ever-parsing former president.

Would she pardon Scooter Libby?

No comment.

Would she nominate a union leader to be secretary of labor?

Maybe.

Would she repeal the North American Free Trade Agreement?

Can't say.

The Democratic presidential candidate drew several rounds of applause for her appearance before the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union Tuesday. She flashed her sense of humor, displayed a deep knowledge of the issues and held her own in a forum that pitted her against other presidential rivals. But what stood out was her reluctance to address questions head-on.

1. The OP was just a few minutes ago complaining about "smear mongering"

Now this and a post in which she claims--with no evidence--that HRC "hates progressives."

Let's see BO supporters practice what they preach for once. They go ballistic when Obama is criticized yet love to smear HRC. Will they practice what the preach and criticize this thread? I doubt it. They will join the HRC bashfest while sanctimoniously denouncing threads that criticize BO 5 minutes later.

5. and she NEVER responds.

11. I don't like the original post either, but I think you have some fessing up to do as well

Obama has campaigned on "a different kind of politics." This is not a different kind of politics, it is an attack on Clinton. However, dmc, it is pretty rich to hear this coming from you. I have twice cataloged your smears on Obama:

Let's all practice what we breach and stop bashing our opponents.

18. I am practicing what I preach

I explained in another reply my long-standing position on the importance of scrutinizing those who seek to become president. I have no problem with the OP. The problem is the hypocrisy of the author of this thread and a fleet of hypocritical BO fans.

Speaking of "fessing up", why are you posting under a sock puppet? ;)

2. No, I am the

Artful Dodger.

Hillary is mud.

3. FYI, this has been posted about four times today under the "Slick Hillary" title.

[draft_mario_cuomo]

4. By Obama supporters? nt

[NYCGirl]

6. No, by Kucinich supporters.

:eyes:

7. I thought Obama supporters were against "smears"? 1 smear posted 5 times

Wow...

[NYCGirl]

8. They're just taking the lead from you. You should be flattered. NT

[draft_mario_cuomo]

9. That is amazing. I caused them to do things before I ever posted here

Wow. More faith-based fantasy...

[NYCGirl]

10. You weren't here yesterday? Then who was that troll with your screen name? NT

[draft_mario_cuomo]

12. I lurked for a while before posting, and barely posted during my first 2 weeks or so here

BO supporters were as prolific in smearing HRC then as they are now...

Speaking of "smears". "Troll"? :eyes: Off to the ignore list you go.

13. Goody! NT

16. This does not surprise me

[hughee99]

17. I don't know that I'd say "artful"

The difference is that Bill seemed to be able to get away with ducking and dodging a lot more than Hillary does.
