Hillary Still Hiding on War; Time Warner Provides Cover
by Jeff Cohen

Time Warner’s NY1 TV news channel (“the CNN of New York”) adamantly refuses to host a Democratic New York Senate debate. Despite protests over its decision, NY1 says it is giving incumbent Clinton a no-debate free pass because her antiwar challenger, union leader Jonathan Tasini, has not raised enough money; the channel arbitrarily set the bar at a half-million dollars. This despite the fact that Tasini has reached 13% in polls.

By the way, did you read the part about her antiwar challenger?

1. I do. You bet I do. That was the first indication of her attitude

toward the grassroots of this party that I caught.

2. I can't believe that no one has pushed her on why she came out against the

war AFTER the big Democratic victory in 2006!

3. The thing is that she's been running for President since before

she ran for the Senate. So, people have this garbled understanding of what she's done at any point. :shrug:

4. Given the stands she took as a Senator with an eye to running for President,

I have to wonder what stands she'd take as a President looking for re-election!

5. K&R

She is such a hypocrite

6. That was different. Hillary has her own set of rules.

Get with the program. :spank:

7. so there you go: Hillary gets another debate but....

Jonathan Tasini has to be the moderator and pick the questions. She gets a debate; he gets delayed (and imperfect) justice.
