NEW YORK -- Senator Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., took time out from an event commemorating 9/11 to take a swipe at a campaign commercial by John Spencer, her likely Republican opponent in November.

In the commercial, slated to run in New York City and on suburban cable stations, Spencer, the former mayor of Yonkers, accuses Clinton of being soft on national security issues and as such, aiding al-Qaida strongman Osama bin Laden.

It was Clinton who helped lead the Democratic attempt to filibuster the renewal of the Patriot Act, though she eventually voted for it.

The controversial Spencer commercial proceeds to superimpose images of Clinton and bin Laden together.

An angry Sen. Clinton told a group of huddled reporters: "It's just outrageous that we see for political purposes someone not only being factually inaccurate about my voting record, but putting Osama bin Laden on the TV screen and trying to make a connection [with me]," Clinton said.

"This is beyond outrageous. We need to get back to the business of trying to work together in a bipartisan, or really a non-partisan way to win the war against terror. I think people do a great disservice accusing patriotic Americans of being in bed with Osama bin Laden. It is a terrible injustice to use that in a campaign."

Clinton then added: "I take a seat to nobody when it comes to the issue of national security."

The Republican primary is slated for Sept. 12, when Spencer is expected to defeat Katherine (KT) McFarland, the only other candidate on the Republican ballot. McFarland, like Clinton has also criticized the Spencer campaign tactics.

Latest polls give Clinton more than a 25 point advantage over either Republican opponent.

The former first lady is seeking her second term as New York's junior senator and is widely believe to be eyeing a run for the White House

Hey, it's about time we had some Pubbies who had the 'nads to take off the gloves and treat the Dems the same way they treat others and have been doing for years.

Karl Rove is the one advising John Spencer on how to run his campaign.

GO JOHNNY GO!!! Keep the witch stirred up and out of kilter.

Truth hurts, don't it Ms. Clinton?

Any sound bites of the beast shrieking?

[TexasCajun]

A lying rapist womanizing husband doesn't "outrage" Thunder-Thighs but put a picture of OBL with her and see her rage.

[Sax]

Get her reeeeally torqued and you never know what fantastic sound bite might slip outta her pie hole.

[JerseyDvl]

Isn't that a shame?

[pissant]

Hillary is more a threat to our national security than Bin Laden hiding in his cave.

[BulletBobCo]

She's just upset that she couldn't come with a similar idea.

It was Clinton who helped lead the Democratic attempt to filibuster the renewal of the Patriot Act, though she eventually voted for it.

How can one rationally filibuster a bill, then vote for it???

[Doc Savage]

The expression dear Hitlery is that you do not take a "BACK" seat to anyone. Doofuss can't even get that right!

[Bommer]

We need to get back to the business of trying to work together in a bipartisan, or really a non-partisan way to win the war against terror.

Did she say this with a straight face? She helps to destroy the Patriot act and then like the coward she is after seeing polls votes for it. Only think "Bi" is Hillary.
