Is the Obama camp using the Clinton negative machine against themselves?
Edited on Mon Feb-18-08 12:49 PM by Araxen
Seriously, you have to wonder if they are baiting the Clinton's to use negative stuff against them so they can throw stuff back in their faces now to make them look worse. The whole plagiarism thing just seems like it was put out there to see if the Clinton's would take the bait. They did take the bait and the Obama camp came back pretty quick with a very detailed(with video) comeback that Hillary has used alot of Obama's stuff.

I think the Obama camp has been wanting to use this against her for awhile and finally got her to take the bait.

1. I think the Clinton campaign really is that incompetent.
All though I'm sure the Obama camp has all sorts of responses for all sorts of phony, hypocritical accusations for just such an occasion.

2. I don't know but you gotta love that response time.
There goes the argument that she's more prepared for the Repub noise machine. :D

3. The Clintonistas choose to fling the poo.
I see no reason to diffuse the responsibility for any blowback away from them.

As far as Obama's camp being ready with responses, I just call that preparedness and good campaigning.

4. But but all Obama knows how to do is sing kumbaiya
He's too young inexperienced and well, wussy to do something like that, isn't he? That's what the Clinton's keep telling us anyway.

Actually I think he's running circles around them and they are still too fucking obtuse or self absorbed to notice it.

8. That Would Be Diabolical...
But I think it's just a case of the Clinton camp trying to go negative and reaching and Obama's camp being a little too smart to let them get away with it.

12. no I dont think that but obviously Obama campaign was pissed off
about Hillary using his words but they did not want to bring it up for the sake of the party, but since she brought this shit up he had to respond.

I have been noticing this Obama never attack but when he is attacked, he fires back and right to the point
