James Carville: Hillary Won’t Be Swift-boated
NewsMax ^ | 2/22/07 | NewsMax

Posted on 02/22/2007 5:01:29 PM PST by wagglebee

Democratic political strategist James Carville is revisiting the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth’s attack on John Kerry in 2004 to scare up financial support for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

In a mass e-mail sent out under the "Hillary for President” banner, Carville offers a quote from the StopHillaryPAC: "Those Swift Boat Veterans for Truth were the real heroes of the 2004 election. We at the StopHillaryPAC want to do the same thing to Hillary.”

Carville writes: "You read that right. There are people who think the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are heroes for what they did in 2004 – and now they have their sights set on Hillary...

"These ‘swift-boaters’ know, like you and I do, that Hillary is the strongest candidate Democrats have. They know she’s a fighter who will stand up for what’s right, as she has done all her life. And there’s nothing they fear more...

"Let’s show these attack dogs what we’re made of.”

Carville – the architect of Bill Clinton’s win in 1992 – asks for contributions of $100, $50 or $25 to Hillary’s exploratory committee.

On its Web site, the StopHillaryPAC statement quoted by Carville actually reads in full:

"We at the StopHillaryPAC want to do the same thing to Hillary: take her record - ever since she became a radical, America-hating lawyer at Yale Law School in the 1970s all the way through her years in Arkansas and the White House and now as a Senator - and use it against her.”

There are people who think the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are heroes for what they did in 2004

The technical term for this belief is "normal".

Both Carville and Rove and discredited and irrelevant.

Mercenaries and propagandists.

Not likely. It is all scripted and Obama is Hillary's gift. He will suck all the oxygen out of any alternatives to her then fold like a cheap lawn-chair once all the syncopates in the media start asking him the questions they should be asking now. By then, it will be too late for any alternative to the witch.

Amusing..... It seems that leftist gay billionaire former FOB David Geffen is now part of the "Swift Boat" "attack dogs" Carville is worried about........ after all, Geffen savaged both Clintons as chronic liars and alluded to Bill's never-ending "zipper problem"........ better hire more bodyguards, Mr. Geffen, for there's something called "Arkancide" you should be concerned about.

As for Carville, there is a venomous snake who should be dropped off in the Amason somewhere so he can commune with more of his own kind of reptiles.....

Hillary doesn't qualify for "Swiftboating". The only combat she has ever seen is against Bill using lamps, ashtrays and decibels.

Well, if they don't want to be swift boated, they have to be ready to talk about all the old Clinton scandals, and Hillary's role.. And her liberal politics.

Hillary might not be in this position except for the swift boaters. Because Kerry would be running for re-election in '08 if he had won last time. Some think the Clintons were happy Kerry lost so that it opened up '08 for Hillary .

"These ‘swift-boaters’ know, like you and I do, that Hillary is the strongest candidate Democrats have.

And the liberal democrats know that if the truth about Hillary! ever goes mainstream, her candidacy is O-V-E-R in a heartbeat, just like Kerry's.

Imagine being a liberal, and knowing that your hero is the Dark Lord Clinton... and that the dull, scampering nervousness your poor little liberal brain can dimly intuit is what is left of your soul telling you "Get out while you still can!".

Did Hillary serve in Vietnam?

Her screaching over a megaphone would have cleared the jungles of VC!

In Hillary's case it isn't swiftboating; it's more like "tub-of-lard"-ing.

James Carvile is proof that some men evolved from snakes.

There's a little corner of my mind that says, "Bill will NEVER let her be President. Ever."

Let the Bimbo Eruptions begin! :)

"They know she’s a fighter who will stand up for what’s right."

Hillary stood up while Monica knelt down.

A woman who can't handle her philandering husband can't handle leading this nation.
