Clinton Camp Says It Has No Dirty Secrets About Obama
Fox News ^ | 17 November 2007 | Staff

Posted on 11/17/2007 12:44:18 PM PST by shrinkermd

Hillary Clinton's campaign insisted Saturday it is not sitting on any scandalous information about rival Barack Obama, after conservative columnist Robert Novak wrote that the Democratic frontrunner was holding on to a secret that could wound Obama's campaign.

Novak wrote in a three-paragraph item Saturday that "agents of Sen. Hillary Clinton are spreading the word in Democratic circles that she has scandalous information about her principal opponent for the party's nomination, Sen. Barack Obama, but has decided not to use it."

Novak wrote that the nature of the alleged scandal is not known but "this word-of-mouth among Democrats makes Obama look vulnerable and Clinton look prudent

From Novak's Column in the New York Post:

"...November 17, 2007 -- AGENTS of Sen. Hillary Clinton are spreading the word in Democratic circles that she has scandalous information about her principal opponent for the party's presidential nomination, Sen. Barack Obama, but has decided not to use it. The nature of the alleged scandal was not disclosed.

"This word-of-mouth among Democrats makes Obama look vulnerable and Clinton look prudent. It comes during a dip for the front-running Clinton after she refused to take a stand on New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's now discarded plan to give driver's licenses to illegal aliens".

Experienced Democratic political operatives believe Clinton wants to avoid a repetition of 2004, when attacks on each other by presidential candidates Howard Dean and Richard Gephardt were mutually destructive and facilitated John Kerry's nomination.

If you want something to be widely known,

Tell it to Robert Novak,

And tell him to keep it secret

Look Novak is an EXCELLENT reporter. He gets it right before it goes to print.
If you think he didn’t have multiple sources for this story before going to print you are wrong.

Novak explains the Plame ruse in his book now out on his 50 years in the biz.
And he is one of the only people out there doing his OWN actual reporting.

Watch any news broadcast today and tell me how many stories are from their own work?

This is just the Clintonistas way of letting Obama know that his life is about to be completely destroyed.

Clinton Camp Says It Has No Dirty Secrets About Obama

Anonymous dirty news (real or imaginary) is so small town. Barbara Boxer attempted to export it from Marin County and fell into the "oblivion" hole.

Releasing dirt on the weekend before elections only works in a provincial dope-infested environment.

The Clinton’s have way more scandals than Obama could EVER have. He needs to say “back at ya” and come out swinging.

Time to revive the historical Clinton Maneuver:

Deny... Delay... Destroy.
The politics of personal destruction.

Works beautifully among the "hysterical, insecure, ignorant, sheeplike masses, a/k/a 'the American people.'"

I suspect this threat is aimed specifically at Michelle Obama.
She has always been more reticent about running and protecting their family and their very lives from a JFK style fate at the hands of the Clintons.

After the Wilson farce, I'd say that Old man Novak is pretty good at getting people to dump little secrets.

This may have legs or is simply a diversion on Hillary's part...."Let's talk about something else".

What we do know for certain is that Hillary controls people, particularly her staff and there is no well in hell she didn't know the questions were pre-selected. In other words, she lies....just like Bubba!!

Clinton camp needs no dirty secrets...just the truth and some recognition of really stupid judgement...Dems are not even minimally responsible in picking their candidates...here is why in the case of Obama: Only Obamas’ history and a small amount of common sense is necessary, in my mind, to completely disqualify him for the Presidency. Obama is a clear National Security Risk with regard to Islam and the worldwide ongoing jihad. Start with this, a CONTINUALLY updated site on Obamas’ history.

http://www.freedomsenemies.com/_more/obama.htm

And, then, think about THIS: “ Muslims view Obama as first a Muslim and then as an apostate Muslim. He faces the death penalty in nearly the entire Islamic world”..excerp from the above link. He was a Muslim for 27 years under the name Barry Soetoro, and ‘coverted’ from Islam to Christianity as an adult..his church may not have been a legitimate Christian church. Lots of info on his church in the above link, and its disturbing creed. He adopted his fathers’ MUSLIM name about the time he became ‘Christian’ as it had been recommended to him as a child to convert if he wanted to become the first US ‘black’ President, why did he not retain his previous name?.....read the link. Here are some sobering thoughts: Barack Hussein Obama, identifying himself for some years as a Christian, was a Muslim for 27 years. His conversion to Christianity is murky AND, ask the question ‘Is there anything to prevent him from potentially converting back to Islam shortly after taking his Presidential oath on a Bible/Koran? NO!! (Rep. Ellison of MI was allowed to take his oath on Thos. Jeffersons’ personal Koran (Jefferson had studied Islam in an attempt to understand the enemy during our first war as a country, the Barbary Wars). As an APOSTATE Muslim, any Imam in the world or thousands of Imams can issue a demand for his return to Islam, and, on refusal can issue a fatwa for his death... as POTUS there might be a tsunami of such calls from the Muslim World...the political leverage in either case is a clear, MASSIVE national security issue for the United States. One has to question the motives of the Dim party for presenting him for the candidacy. Other disturbing features of his life and social interactions are a potential dynamite keg as well. Read the above link. While our currency is debasing rapidly, nations are dumping our currency and not loaning us $1 trillion every 15 months by buying Tbills, the next administration will be financical beggars..and, Muslim political demand and pressure will be exponentially high. Dems and Reps and independents may be shocked if Obama is presented with conversion demands from the whole Muslim worldwide, and...and...succombs to them. The potential is rather jolting.

They don’t, because they gave them all to the National Enquirer.

Mrs. Clinton’s campaign of course had to deny that she was holding information about Obama.

The purpose of the rumors was to raise questions in Obama’s mind as to whether he wants to share scandalous information about Clinton or not. The Clintons are just pointing out they are ready to retaliate in that event, of course everyone knew that already.

Hey, the Clintons have more than 900 FBI files on folks, and I’ve been looking for them to be used. I’d be willing to bet my bank account these files will be used extensively before and (if she is elected, God forbid) after.

Hang on, it will be a wild ride. And don’t expect the MSM to look into the connection.

Hillary: “Look, Obama was a nobody when I had access to all the FBI files. I wish I had something a that SOB, but I don’t.”
