As Obama rails against "slash & burn" politics, his top Hollywood fundraiser - David Geffen - personally attacks Hillary & her family
Clinton Communications Director Howard Wolfson issued the following statement today demanding that Barack Obama disavow personal attacks that his campaign finance chair made against Senator Clinton in this morning's New York Times:
"While Senator Obama was denouncing slash and burn politics yesterday, his campaign's finance chair was viciously and personally attacking Senator Clinton and her husband.
"If Senator Obama is indeed sincere about his repeated claims to change the tone of our politics, he should immediately denounce these remarks, remove Mr. Geffen from his campaign and return his money.
"While Democrats should engage in a vigorous debate on the issues, there is no place in our party or our politics for the kind of personal insults made by Senator Obama's principal fundraiser.

So, what did Geffen say?
Expect to see this tagged to some right wing blog, not the Clintonoids.
Clinton will annihilate Obsama Obama, but it is amazing that a few democrats have a dim awareness of how evil Hillary is.
"no place in our party or our politics for the kind of personal insults "
Because "their" party is so squeaky clean and polite.
The way some people are lovable, the Clintons are attackable. They both leave a slime trail behind.
I, too, love a good Democrat in-fight.
It was compliments and adoration.
You know how libs take things out of context.
So...what did Geffen say?
"Everybody in politics lies, but they [the Clintons] do it with such ease, it’s troubling,” Geffen said.
Among other things, Hollywood and music mogul Geffen told Dowd, "God knows, is there anybody more ambitious than Hillary Clinton?" and "Obama is inspirational, and he’s not from the Bush royal family or the Clinton royal family. Americans are dying every day in Iraq. And I’m tired of hearing James Carville on television.”
"I don’t think anybody believes that in the last six years, all of a sudden Bill Clinton has become a different person,” Mr. Geffen says, adding that if Republicans are digging up dirt, they’ll wait until Hillary’s the nominee to use it. “I think they believe she’s the easiest to defeat.”
-- She is overproduced and overscripted. “It’s not a very big thing to say, ‘I made a mistake’ on the war, and typical of Hillary Clinton that she can’t,” Mr. Geffen says. “She’s so advised by so many smart advisers who are covering every base. I think that America was better served when the candidates were chosen in smoke-filled rooms.”
-- Once, David Geffen and Bill Clinton were tight as ticks. Mr. Geffen helped raise some $18 million for Bill and slept in the Lincoln Bedroom twice. Bill chilled at Chateau Geffen. Now, the Dreamworks co-chairman calls the former president “a reckless guy” who “gave his enemies a lot of ammunition to hurt him and to distract the country.”
-- They fell out in 2000, when Mr. Clinton gave a pardon to Marc Rich after rebuffing Mr. Geffen’s request for one for Leonard Peltier. “Marc Rich getting pardoned? An oil-profiteer expatriate who left the country rather than pay taxes or face justice?” Mr. Geffen says. “Yet another time when the Clintons were unwilling to stand for the things that they genuinely believe in. Everybody in politics lies, but they do it with such ease, it’s troubling.”
Who care what he said? We are all ready to roll on the floor watching this, just as the Dims are already rolling on the floor watching our performance here. When somebody yells "fight" on the playground it gets attention.
"Clinton will annihilate Obsama Obama, but it is amazing that a few democrats have a dim awareness of how evil Hillary is."
She is the most evil without question. But Bill and Hill have put together a machine that is beyond compare. Hillary! will be the next POTUS, the machine will make sure that happens by whatever means necessary.
Geffen's gay, isn't he?
Can't argue with that.
I think he's entertaining.
I'll let you watch him for me.
If Oboma starts letting Hillary's campaign team call the shots, he won't be able to speak out at all.
Don't let her censor you, Oboma. You have just as many rights as she does.
Bob Kerrey is now one of Hillary's constituents...they should haul him out to testify to Bill and Hillary's love of the truth.
OK, but I can only stand it for short periods of time. I hate snakes.
