Proper Context - We complain when the right ignores it, but allow it here (Clinton's vs Obama)

[HardWorkingDem]

I'm kind of disappointed over the shallowness of the debate detailing the recent Clinton remarks toward Obama and how Obama supporters are trying to portray them. Though I wish they had not made them, the entire context of their meaning is not what Obama's supporters are trying to portray them to be and what the right would like us to be arguing about.

Bill Clinton DID not state Obama's candidacy has been a "fairy tale," only that his narrative detailing the Iraq War has been. There is a huge difference.

Secondly, HRC only pointed out it also took a president to get the Civil Acts Right through.

I find it quite sad our own fellow democrats are playing the game that so many on the right do.

2. In the mean time the economy seems to be collapsing ,

and there's talk of being in Iraq for 1000 years. I hope that the good folks out there get tired of these squabbles & get back to some good old fashioned DU bush bashing.

5. Adopt any position that hurts your rival

take no prisoners, show no remorse, twist it, take out of context, start a whisper campaign, no shame,
whatever it takes, and justify it with a smug satisfaction of only doing what you had to do.

That is the approach taken against the Clintons, the claim that only the right uses these tactics
has been blown right out of the water.

Sad state of affairs, maybe some soul searching is in order.

6. In all fairness, there have been more than just those two statements...

But we're trying not to dwell on them any longer. After all, our candidate is well aware of what this is really about:
