The war of words is heating up between Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Clinton campaign officials are demanding a retraction from retired General Merrill McPeak, who supports Obama.

The back and forth stems from a speech former President Bill Clinton made Friday, when he said he'd like to see an election, "where you had two people who loved this country and were devoted to the interest of this country."

Speaking in Oregon yesterday, McPeak accused Clinton of questioning Obama's patriotism and said he was "astonished" by the remarks.

"We will have such an election this year because both Barack Obama and John McCain are great patriots who love this country and are devoted to it, so is Hillary Clinton, any suggestion to the contrary is flat wrong," said McPeak.

A Clinton spokesman calls McPeak's comments absurd and accused McPeak of deliberately misreading the former president's remarks.

It's called clutching at straws.

He thinks his legacy is still being created. He'll do anything to be the “First Gentleman” and to get back in the White House.

The Clintons are the power mongers our (founding) fathers warned us about.

I always knew he was capable of it but his willingness to take all the negative heat for these kinds of statements caught me off guard.

He's counting on all that sliding down the memory hole if they can just unseat Obama's candidacy and win the nomination. He's probably right.

Bill Clinton would strip naked and run across the rally stage if he thought it would help him and the Mrs. get back into the WH. Heck, he'd probably do it anyway.

No different than our Sinator Gordon Smith R, who is against the war. Probably a senior advisor to the Oregon GOP.

I am sure glad that those were verbal blows and not the other kind.

Blow and Clinton in the same sentence will always raise an eybrow...:)

However, the mass fellation of Obama by the MSM now overshadows all other fellations, and in fact, I would call it the the most fellatious fellation in all fellationdom.

Clinton, Obama Campaigns Exchange Verbal Blows ...

clinton and blows....whoops..thought they were addressing bj and monica!!!!

What a sorry choice the Crapocrats have, Hillary the wife of a liar and a raper and/or a Barak the faithful protege of a slobbering, screaming, crazy Preacher of murder and mayhem!

And just think, they are both in agreement with a-Q on what to do in Iraq!

No thinking person can be a democrat.

Looks like these “great uniters” have succeeded in stirring up racism...that had pretty much disappeared from the mainstream. Look for riots after Obama loses either the nomination or the election...with cries of election fraud, vote rigging and disenfranchisement...and somehow, they’ll find and angle to blame Bush.

If McCain picks a black running mate (J.C. Watts would be my choice), might hold the riots down to a minimum.

"for Richardson to make such an endorsement now means that he believes that Obama has the nomination locked up or that by his endorsement it puts Obama over the top"

That's how I read it too - I don't think Richardson would have parted ways with the Clintonistas unless he felt certain that Shrillary is toast. Of course, Obama may be toast now that his loony racist minister is in the picture!

You sure got that right. The MSM does a lot of kissing up to Obammy. I guess the Right Reverend Wright is nothing but a dream now.
