I think you do not understand what I mean.
Anything and everything, little and small, rumor and innuendo all in vain hope it'll be the 'smoking gun' to take her down will deal more harm than good.
Character of a presidential candidate is valid. I've stated before I consider it the primary issue. Above and beyond whether they be a Liberal or a conservative.
The character of this woman can be demonstrated in other fashion, though, than allegations of being a 'lesbian'.
Just as G.W.'s character came though despite the dredging up of charges of drug use.
This woman is cold, calculating, has used her married name to be where she is. Her business dealings are questionable. Her past as a '60's radical more than open to help paint the portrait of the woman known today. In this manner her character can be made known without resorting to mud. Even if some of it may prove to be true.
I'm all for making the character of the woman an issue in so much as it paints a portrait of how she'd operate as President to show the American people her intentions are not aligned with their best interests.
If you seek to convince me, though, that FBI files in a lockbox should be used as ammunition? There we would split.
Klein's a liberal. He's not saying anything against her that would insult a fellow liberal. Think of it this way - let's say some conservative wrote a book about Bush and said he was a gun owner. And a liberal commented that allegations of gun ownership should be off the table because there were more fitting ways to take the man down. What the liberal wouldn't know is that gun ownership isn't a big "no no" among conservatives. And being a lesbian isn't a problem among liberals. Klein brings it up more as a way to explain the roots of her philosophical underpinnings. He doesn't imply that she has sex with other women - how would he know - but that radical lesbian thinking is part of who she is...
