WASHINGTON — Old enemies of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton are out in force. Just weeks after she joined the Democratic Party's flock of presidential contenders, Clinton is being targeted by conservative and Republican-allied activists intent on derailing her campaign before the start of next year's primaries.
They have surfaced with a flurry of planned projects: a Michael Moore-style documentary film, book-length exposes, and websites such as StopHerNow.comand StopHillaryPAC.com.
Conservative admirers of the Swift Vets and POWs for Truth media blitz that helped torpedo Democratic Sen. John F. Kerry's presidential candidacy in 2004 are now agitating to "Swift-boat" Clinton.
.........Clinton campaign insiders say Web-savvy staffers are immersed in monitoring suspected enemy blogs and websites and conservative cable TV and radio talk shows.
Clinton also reportedly spent lavishly to hire a large team of opposition researchers headed by Judd Legum, previously research director for the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank headed by former Clinton White House chief of staff John Podesta.
.....Clinton intimates said she would also eventually rely on veterans of her husband's administration such as James Carville and Paul Begala to run interference on television, and on the street-fighter instincts of longtime political aide Harold M. Ickes for behind-the-scenes advice.
"We tend to think the blogs will drive a lot of the news," Ickes said recently.
"Even if you think it's completely false or outlandish, you ignore it at your peril."

The FBI file info could still be used against people still in government, but new people pop up all the time.
Hence the need for an ongoing up to date blackmail factory.
Opposition research is a good thing if it exposes a corrupt or crooked pol BEFORE they're elected. OTOH it's a great tool for blackmail.
I wonder how Judd Legum, John Podesta and the Center for American Progress intend to use it.
They probaly look the same too !
You beat me to it.
No word from Vence Foster.
he's making room on the park bench for hussein obama just in case he gets too uppity and thinks he will win the democrat nomination.
Typical of the RATS....they can dish it out, but they can't take it.
They are here in droves as we write.
Sowing their seeds of disention.
All one needs to do is read their posts.
Aren't you looking forward to Craig Livingstone getting back in the game? And Webb ("I guess I'm supposed to take one more hit for the team") Hubble! Maybe they can make him Attorney General in the next Clinton Administration. What's Lannie Guinier been up to? How's that old Lippo Group doing? Are they getting the money machine revved up? Ah, sweet memories!
So true.
And they're masters of accusing you of what they're doing.
SHOCKING 200G HILL DEAL; KEY DIXIE POL BACKS HER - & GETS PAID NY POST ^ | February 15, 2007 | MAGGIE HABERMAN
Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign reached a deal to pay a key South Carolina black leader's consulting firm more than $200,000 just days before he agreed to endorse her run for president.....The arrangement involves South Carolina state Sen. Darrell Jackson, a well-connected African-American leader and pastor whose support is coveted by national campaigns.
Since the Clintonistas are monitoring this....
We will be circling just like buzzards....
Ruh - Roh. The LaLa Times is doing a another 'special' on the evil "rethuglicans". Cue the Imperial march from 'Star Wars'

Maybe Janet Reno can leave the lecture circuit and join a Hillary Adm.
One of the most influential and admired women of our time, Reno continues to be involved with the issues important to her, including dispute resolution, advocacy for children and the elderly, and law enforcement reform. She brings her sharp mind, vast knowledge and keen wit to the podium to examine current issues and to encourage others to achieve their personal best. Sharing her brilliant journey of dedication and strength, Reno provides audiences with an honest and thought-provoking message of empowerment. Source
Definition of Swift Boating.No they can't take it, so they redefine it.It means putting the truth out to the voters. It means letting them know of the lies being told by the candidate. It means the public has the right to know the candidate and not just the propaganda the candidate is putting out. Countering lies with truth. Thats swiftboating.
And the demmies cant take it. - sgtbono2002
The honest definition of Swiftboating is to tell the truth about a Democrat.The Newspeak definition of Swiftboating is "to smear a Democrat."
The Newspeak definition is itself a smear of those who tell the truth.
You are absolutely correct! If you want to know what kind of mess Miss Hitlery is wallowing in, just listen to what she is accusing others of doing.
Let's see how long it will take for the German words to appear when describing Republicans. 'Juggernaut' anyone?
