Hillary has learned the wrong lessons while using the right wing attack handbook.
She knows how to obfuscate, misdirect, and vilify her opponent. She has that part down very well.

The critical mistake that she has made is this:

Republicans like GWB and McCain use their surrogates to do their dirty work. You know. People like Bill O, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh , and folks over at ABC. Hillary has took it upon herself to do the dirty work. Thus, when people see her, all that their minds can focus on is the negativity that she has come to represents. She has made a fatal error in this regard.

There is a lesson to be learned here. When you play with fire, you’re gonna get burnt.

2. Yes, we are saying the exact same thing, only I must admit, you did so in a much more in depth and
articulate matter. You have a good post there.

3. The 'abused' has become the 'abuser.'
She should know better.

4. I agree with you 100%
Hillary and Bill have both damaged their good reputations with their attacks. I wonder why they didn't mostly have surrogates attack for them instead from the very first and stay back from the fray. They are certainly smart enough politicians. I hope an insider writes a book someday about the Clinton campaign. That would be a interesting book.

5. I would find appreciation for her tactics if she and Bill ever ONE TIME used it to oppose Bush
and the GOP the last 7 years.

They seem to manage to use their ability to deceive and distract only towards other Democrats.
