CINCINNATI -- Hillary Clinton adopted a newly bellicose tone toward rival Barack Obama on Saturday, saying he was making false and shameful attacks on her record.

Clinton mocked Obama's speaking skills and his ability to draw tens of thousands of supporters to rallies that have dwarfed her more modest events. She scolded Obama for two campaign mailings that she described as distortions of her positions on healthcare and trade.

"Enough with the speeches and the big rallies, and then using tactics right out of Karl Rove's playbook," she said, alluding to President Bush's former top political adviser. "This is wrong, and every Democrat should be outraged."

Clinton made her remarks to a cluster of reporters after a rally at a college gymnasium. Waving the mailings and raising her voice, Clinton accused Obama of "perpetuating falsehoods."

She is such an idiot, far more stupid than the electorate they think they have fooled. No agenda, no programs, no plans, no vision, no nothing -— but hard power-grabbing socialism -— and they think we don’t know that. This time around, their faux world of the dark-side is their bane.

and then using tactics right out of Karl Rove’s playbook

Comment:

Sorry Hillarious but Karl's playbook is nothing more than a mere firsts grade reader when compared to the Hellish book of leg breaking tactics used by you and your jack booted campaign thugs AKA The Clinton Machine.

She played the “victim” card in New Hampshire and that was way too early. That card’s already played, can’t use it again.

I’ll bet there’s a lot of flying crockery behind the closed doors of the Clinton campaign these days.

48% disliked her before the primaries and now that they know her even more won’t vote for her. What’s the old phrase, You can put lipstick on a Pig but it’s still a Pig. Bye Bye Old Girl!

Close your eyes and listen. Can't you just hear that voice in your mind's ear? That shrieking shrill hectoring that you just have to tune out or go crazy?

I know you can...

Why is she so angry at Barack?

If she hadn’t seent those flyers before it is not Barack’s worry. Her own staff should have seen them and shown them to her. They get paid big bucks don’t they so it should have been their responsibility to know what is being distributed. They can’t all be THAT dumb. Anyway, the OLD hillereee is coming back out now and it’s gonna be the final blow to her campaign. She will go NUTS over this at the debate and Barack will remain calm, cool and collected. The flyers are correct. This was all discussed on the shows this morning as well. Also, her accusing him of lifting whole lines from others is assinine too.

They showed on Tim Russert a clip of Bill Clinton saying the hits he took in this campaign are nothing...yada yada. Same as hillleree said at the debate last week.

Then they showed John Edwards talking about everyone being fine after all this is over but worried about the American people and that’s what hillleree also said at the debate last week.

So...does she think we are all DUMB LIKE HER???????? We will watch the debate on Tuesday and it will be good. Barack Obama will no doubt seal the nomination on that evening so...I wish hilleree would give her concession speech then and be done with it. Be done with the clintins. Be done with the lying, cheating, and nasty personalities of the both of them.

GO BARACK OBAMA...hit one out of the park!!!!

She used the ‘R’-word!

Add that to the list of words you can’t use: the ‘C’-word, the ‘L’-word, the ‘N’-word, etc. At this rate the whole alphabet will be used up, and we’ll hardly be able to say anything.

We’ll have to be niggards regarding our use of language.

"So shame on you, Barack Obama," she said. "It is time you ran a campaign consistent with your messages in public. That's what I expect from you."

I thought Hillary was "HONORED" to be associated with him in the campaign.

Can't wait to be rid of the clintons...

I won't believe this until B.O. has the ability to generate a hurricaine and wipe out a city.
