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."

If the Hildabeast becomes president, you can expect that a lot of Americans will wind up in prison by one pretext or another and mysteriously die or people will die in strange accidents or just "disappear". Arkacide on a national scale. The conversion of America to a banana republic will be complete.

"Look for Trolls galore infesting this site They are already here."
I've noticed the rise of a new type of organism on FR in the last year or so. Are they trolls? I don't know, but I do know that even an influenza virus evolves. Not into something necessarily better, just different. The earmarks that I've noticed:
1. Exhibits extreme "conservative" views, but only on those subjects where specific leaders are viewed as a bit soft. Such as President Bush's views on immigration.
2. Tend to be highly inflammatory in their rhetoric. Note the use of name-calling tactics and insulting nicknames. Again, using President Bush as an example, the nickname "Jorge" was quite popular 6-8 months ago.
3. Quick to express discouragement with political leadership. Witness comments like:" I used to support X but I can't anymore because of W, Y, and Z."
4. Spend lots of time online. You have to wonder; do these people have a job? Then you realize....perhaps they're actually DOING their job.
5. Not at all reserved or reflective in their views. Rarely admit an analytical fault.
The problem is I think some portion of these folks are simply bonafide disaffected conservatives. Others are not. And it's darn difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff.
(Which leads to an ironic question: so what about yours truly? I just thank the Lord for giving me the fleeting good sense to choose a user name that identifies me as a Democrat.)
They sure are.
and she expect this thing to help? Bring him on, and Pubbie Hobbit can take him on.
He is just too talented to be left idle.
He's the real deal.

The liberal press is trying to redefine 'swiftboating'.
The MSM has been very successful at the 'Clintonesque' redefinition--because you ONLY see it used in the contents of 'smearing' someone--when in truth--it is what YOU defined it as!
Bill and Hill's blackmail operations did not start with the FBI files and they sure didn't stop there. Arkansas State Troopers said Bill used to send them out to "dig up some dirt" on whoever was currently annoying him while he was governor.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 great tool for blackmail.
STALINIST RISING?
HILLARY CLINTON ABUSE OF POWER
(WHERE IS THE UNREDACTED BARRETT REPORT ANYWAY?)
So Hillary's employees are reading this?
How much is this corrupt b*tch paying you? Dude (or dude-ette), it isn't enough!
Begala, Carville, Lehane, McCurry, Lockhart, Ickes, etc.... all worked for Jhon Cari's campaign and failed miserably, especially McCurry with his election night comments about the exit polls. On the other hand, John Weaver of the McCain campaign and Tony Carbonetti of the Giuliani campaign are two very tough and savvy operatives who I'm sure make the dems very uneasy.
