Turns Out The "Artful Smear" Was Created By Hillary Herself As A Charge Against Obama


One of the facts emerging out of this campaign is the lack of technical expertise and understanding of the digital age displayed by Hillary Clinton and her team. Do they not understand that the internet has provided research and historical archives that were once only conceived of in the the daydreams of political reporters and commentators? HILLARY, WE CAN LOOK STUFF UP! Check it out —


This is reportage by David Sirota, who has to be emerging as the greatest bete noire, burr under the saddle, of the Clinton campaign. He is the guy who has already laid the groundwork of the stories yet to emerge of all the companies who had business before the State Department and who coincidentally were already donors of the Clinton Foundation or became donors of the Clinton Foundation. But back to the issue at hand


But in April 2008, Clinton’s campaign aired a television ad portraying Obama’s support for a 2005 energy bill as a quid pro quo for campaign donations. The ad said Obama had “accepted $200,000 from executives and employees of oil companies,” while criticizing him for voting “for the Bush-Cheney energy bill that that put $6 billion in the pocket of big oil.” The clear message: Obama backed the bill as a favor to donors.

Clinton also accused Obama of exchanging legislative favors for campaign cash from the nuclear industry.

Looks like the adults were able to move past "campaign season."

2. The point is...

she clearly felt that contributions = influence back then, yet claims contributions ? influence now.

[tk2kewl]

4. I'm sure she still feels that way just not in her case

She cannot be bought even with millions paid to her, her husband or their foundation. They are the exception to the rule. Every rule must have an exception, right?

[MADem]

8. Nah. The point is those two got over it.

And they're the best of friends today.

10. CU was a game changer.

Now it's all about the benjamins. Benjamins are "speech." Cue the First Amendment....

All candidates are doing it--all of them. Some more than others, but no one has clean hands.

12. Sorry, Bernie's hands are clean. Hillary's are the opposite. And bloody.

[MADem]

13. No, they aren't. nt

14. I think I know far, far more than you about him.

He's represented me for decades. There's a reason that he's so well regarded here. And it's not that Vermonters are stupid. There's a reason he's going to win in MA, too.

16. Bernie is the only candidate who isn't compromised; Hillary is massively tainted & compromised

[MADem]

17. You hold that thought close, if you think it helps and you believe it.

[Bluenorthwest]

6. So you see the President as unable to speak his own mind and in need of Jay to do that for him?

The point is not how they may or may not get along the point is how she ran then is how she's running now. And it is pretty stunning. Even her pundit surrogates are recycling entire themes and criticisms. I find it to be surreal, as if they think we have neither natural memory not access to search engines........

[MADem]

7. So you see you can read the link and find out exactly what Carney said, too.

He made Obama's POV quite clear.

Do you want me to find the paragraph for you and cut/paste it?

[MADem]

18. Not playing the "So you...." game. You can draw your own conclusions.

As I've drawn mine.

3. it's fascinating to unearth this material; most people probably don't remember or didn't know;

5. ROFLMAO - Again and again and again.

9. Painful.

Lightening speed facts at the tips of the fingers.

Video and audio, speeches, news articles, documents of all sorts right there.

The Internet has a forever memory.

Thanks for the thread, FreakinDJ.
