THERE is an air of desperation in Hillary Clintons camp. The New York senator has embarked on a door-die mission to hector and bully her way to victory, putting her on a potential collision course with Democratic party leaders.
It is a risky strategy that could leave her more isolated and unpopular as voters defect to Barack Obama, the new front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. Obama, 46, is being tarred as a cultish, messianic figure who talks big but cannot deliver.
Clinton, 60, is being driven into her last redoubts as white women, blue collar workers and Hispanics her core supporters have begun to peel away. In public she is adopting a feistier tone and a more populist message against the Illinois senator in a bid to stem her losses.

And that little gem was from none other than Sid Vicious Blumenthal. Oh, the old Clinton Destruction Machine is still around, with all the old players.Hmm, sounds like some FReepers when they try to portray Ron Paul supporters in an attempt to smear Ron Paul.

No one knows B. Hussein Obama. What people "like" is a projection of what "they" think you'll like.

Classified Material. Need to Know Only. Destroy upon completion.
Hillary Clinton: Shills, your mission is to proceed up the Nung River in a Navy patrol boat. Pick up Obama’s path at Nu Mung Ba, follow it and learn what you can along the way. When you find the Obama, infiltrate his team by whatever means available and terminate the Obama’s command.
Shills: Terminate?..... the Obama?
Hillary Clinton: He’s out there operating without any decent restraint, totally beyond the pale of any acceptable human conduct. And he is still in the field commanding troops.
Unidentified Shill: Terminate..... with extreme prejudice.
Hillary Clinton: You understand, Shill, that this mission does not exist, nor will it ever exist.
Shill 1 (may he rest in peace): I don’t feel comfortable with this.
Hillary Clinton: Snap out of it man, it’s no time for some creepy Trotskyite, some damned Islamo-fascist sympathizing cult leader to triumph over us. We Stalinists have victory almost within our grasp.

True.
The most famous Obama functionary - the one with the Che Guevara flags and the “get stuffed” attitude to her neighbours isn’t creepy. She’s worse - she’s a standard arrogant communista.
To: Soliton
I agree...AND she owns her own shiney coveted “race card.”

Hillary is only STARTING to feel desperate. Obama needs to watch his back; and Bubba needs to LEAVE TOWN!And John McCain, in response to his 2005 comment that she would make a good president, says she has "integrity". Why do you make it so hard for us, John?

Exactly. Anyone who doesn’t believe the Clintons will arrange an accident, if they have to, to take care of Obama, doesn’t know the Clinton.
If they can’t steal Texas and Ohio, and they can’t go into the convention with enough arm-twisted votes - they will take care of the Obama problem the old fashioned way - Arkancide.

If they cant steal Texas and Ohio, and they cant go into the convention with enough arm-twisted votes - they will take care of the Obama problem the old fashioned way - Arkancide.And arrange to have it blamed on some right-wing bi-polar nutcase.

The apocalyptic imagery may be appropriate. Many Democrats predict a bloody civil war should Obama be defeated by the white men in suits who have run the party for decades.He's speaking figuratively, right...?
