Columnist Jimmy Breslin: Clinton holds 'new North American record for fakery'
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., is coming under heavy fire for her continued support of the war in Iraq, with some of the strongest rhetoric against her coming from the political left.
"Hillary Clinton today holds the new North American record for fakery," writes Newsday columnist Jimmy Breslin. "She copies. She sneaks and slithers past you with her opinion on a war that kills every day."
Breslin unleashed his scathing attack on the New York Democrat after reading a mailing sent out by the senator's campaign packed with questions being asked by Clinton: I go through the rest of the pamphlet. "How concerned are you that President Bush is not doing enough to get Americans back to work, create more jobs and get the economy moving again?
"How concerned are you that the massive budget deficits caused by Republican economic and tax policies will inevitably result in drastic cuts in Social Security, Medicare, education and social services?"
Absolutely beautiful!
There are ... now more than 2,000 young Americans who have died in Iraq. She wants to be a candidate for president and she doesn't even mention our dead, or our next dead.
Mrs. Clinton was also slammed last night in a speech by Cindy Sheehan, the so-called "Peace Mom" who previously labeled the senator a "war hawk."
"I'm not a carpetbagger like someone else we know," Sheehan said at the State University College at Oneonta, N.Y. "I think she really needs to represent the state of New York."
When asked about a possible Clinton run for the presidency in 2008, Sheehan said, "I am not going to make the mistake of supporting a pro-war candidate even if she is a Democrat."

Thought Jimmy Breslin was dead.
Mere headfakes. The loonoids will fall all over themselves in worshipping her, once she announces that she intends to run for Prez.
Jimmy's volunteering for the Hildebeast's "Sistah Souljah" moment.
This is indeed strange - Bush's hard core right slamming Bush, and Hillary's hard core left slamming Hillary!
You were thinking of him from the neck up, I'd imagine.
Hate to see the beast get away with lie after lie. She just can't tell the truth like her disgraced husband.
I used to loathe the very idea, but now I am praying that the Dims are arrogant and stupid enough to nominate her.
Even if they manage enough voter fraud to elect her, the national ordeal will destroy the Demo(n)cRATS for the rest of time.
The pendulum is swinging the other way, and all they can do is delay or expedite it.
Yeeeeeough! That smarts!
This is nothing but a sham...Clinton's progressive opponents are going through a charade, one that I suspect is pre-planned...when as and if the bitch is nominated, these same 'critics' will fall all over themselves to say that she is the best...as usual, be prepared...the Clintons are as close to the all Anti-American Couple as, I hope, this country will ever produce. They are the only true argument, other than the other current Democrat leadership, in favor of abortion that I can see.
Hillary wants to be president (forget that co-president stuff if she's elected).
Being president means being CIC.
She knows many of the troops don't like or respect her (I'm using the mildest of terms, knowing there is a wide range of attitude out there). She expects that won't be a problem once she is ensconced because she'd have all power to force her "subjects" to do her will. I expect that is one of the duties she'd most enjoy -- ordering the military around, especially the men, and promoting every female she could, whether competent or not.
Everything hrc does is calculated for some political or personal power gain.
Somewhere along the road of her intentions to become president, she decided she had to go hawkish.
That's why she's willing to let the left scathe her on this.
I hate those kind of wars.
Just wait until the military is "theirs" again.
Thought Jimmy Breslin was dead.
No, just dead drunk as usual.
Uhh.... 4.3% GDP growth during the quarter with the worst natural disaster in American history. Approximately 5% unemployment. More people working than any time in American history. What more do you want?
"How concerned are you that the massive budget deficits caused by Republican economic and tax policies will inevitably result in drastic cuts in Social Security, Medicare, education and social services?"
I want cuts in federal education and social services. Those powers belong to the states or to the people. As for drastic cuts in SS and Medicare (also not federal powers in the Constitution), demographics cause that - not Republican policies. And some of those demographic changes are from 30+ years of abortion cutting the younger population. That wasn't part of the Republican campaign platform.
Also, the massive deficits come from both parties spending like drunken sailors, not from the tax cuts. The feds have more than enough money. They just spend all they have and a lot more.
Trust me, it's a ruse to give Hitlery some needed air cover with the more moderate elements of the Democrap party. Might even suck in some of the less astute members of the Pubbie Party who are hacked off with Bush for something or other.
Once in the White House (PLEASE ALMIGHTY GOD, FORBID IT!!!), it'll be off with the mask of moderation and back to business as usual.
Ding, ding, ding - winner. This story has "plant" written all over it. That senile old drunk Breslin knows exactly where Herself stands on the Iraq War - she wants us to lose (just like him). She just can't spill the beans until after she's elected.
The Democrat base knows she is a major socialist who will say anything to fake out more conservative people to get their vote in a national election.
We all know what is going on, it's the people stuck on stupid who don't get Hillary and would vote for her that are our country's greatest deficit in 2008.
I don't think Hillary will win at all, but you won't believe the stupidity of people who will come out of the woodwork backing her. For those people, their sense of history started yesterday.
