The country's leading left-wing publication, The Nation, has turned on liberal darling Hillary Clinton in a scathing article headlined "Hillary's Hypocrisy."
The article by Robert Scheer begins: "How do you triangulate among death, hypocrisy and stupidity? Not at all logically, which is why Hillary Clinton's dissembling on Iraq has become a fatal embarrassment, not only for her, but for anyone who hopes she can provide progressive leadership for the nation.
"If she still has not found the courage to reverse course on this disastrous war, why assume that as president she would behave any differently?"
Scheer writes that it is "unconscionable" that many who oppose the war in Iraq prefer Clinton to potential 2008 presidential rivals John Kerry, John Edwards, Al Gore, and Russ Feingold, who have all called for the U.S. to extricate itself from the conflict.
The Nation article cites Clinton's recent statement that she doesn't think it is "smart strategy to set a date certain" for withdrawing from Iraq. "I do not agree that that is in the best interests."
Scheer writes: "Clinton needs to stop prattling on about getting the Iraqi government to do this or that wonderful thing before we can pull out."
He concludes that Hillary's supporters "are eager to win back at least one branch of Congress in the midterm election in order to revitalize our Constitution's bedrock system of checks and balances and are looking to Clinton to help get them there.
"But what check or balance is Sen. Clinton presenting on the most pressing issue of the day? None."
The left has undermined the WOT to the point No One wants democratic leadership (an oxymoron). Hillary isn’t going to do anything about the terrorists or the WOT - and everyone knows it.
"Fatah’s armed wing says it has developed biological, chemical weapons. ‘We say to Olmert, Peretz: Your threats of invasion do not frighten us. We will surprise you with new weapons you have not faced until now,’ Al-Aqsa Brigades says"
Where is this article posted at?
Actually, as much as I loathe Hillary, if Scheer doesn't like her, that is a point in her favor (but only one).
This is great, great news. The Dems are hopelessly split over the war. If they nominate Hillary, there will be a third party anti-war candidate, and the Dems are toast. If they nominate an anti-war candidate, they are toast.
It's all good.
Consider the source. Scheer is so off the rails that he makes Ramsey Clark look middle-of-the-road.
She's still going to carry the lefty vote: DEAL WITH IT.
Unconscionable? Vote for Hillary over Kerry etc ect..? Uhhhh, isn`t that sort of like saying the same thing? Like saying, "I prefer to shoot myself in the head rather than shoot myself in the head"???

Al-Aksa claims biological-chemical capabilities
These PIGressives like Scheer will be enthuiastically kissing Hillary's rather rotund bottom by '08.
It's pretty funny to read Robert Scheer calling anyone else stupid.
Isn't that the ugly witch Christina VanDenHeuval's rag of a mag.
If you can't trust a person with the country's secrets, that person should not be the President.
Uh. No. The Dems aren't "split" over the war. They are "split" as to how to put lipstick on the anti-war pig.
Marxist Hillary is merely triangulatin' her way to the nomination.
I wish that GWB had gotten rid of ALL the Clintonites in all areas of our government. Then and only then would all of our secrets be safe. The leftovers are having a field day with leaks.
From Ronald Radosh's terrific book "COMMIES" page 108.
"Scheer said he would talk on the record about only one topic--the only one that mattered--the realization of the socialist utopia in North Korea.
For over two hours, Sheer talked about the paradise he had seen during a recent visit to North Korea, about the greatness of Kim il-Sung, about the correct nature of his "juche" ideology....Sheer's interest in North Korea was the result of its offer of sanctuary to his protege, Black Panther Eldridge Cleaver, who fled there to escape prosecution. While there, Cleaver released a half-hour documentary film in which he talked on camera to Scheer and extolled the virtues of his new communist paradise(Cleaver would soon leave the juche paradise and return to the US as a Conservative Republican, appearing with WF Buckley on firing line, denoucing the REDS and the Black Panthers)
Meanwhile, Radosh returned to America with the Scheer documentary and played it for the farleft Pacifica radio
WBAI and it was too far out for even the farout to air it.
I do so enjoy seeing the lefties eat their own.
