It saddens me to see so many on DailyKos doing the work of conservatives in bashing, undermining, and destroying Hillary Clinton. The "will Hillary Clinton admit she made a mistake" meme is textbook conservative / mainstream media destruction of Democratic leaders. It is the same technique they tried on Bill Clinton and successfully used against Al Gore, Howard Dean, and John Kerry. Just read Cenk Uygar's opinion piece here to see the big picture:

I support Hillary Clinton for President (unless and until Al Gore runs). She is a Fighting Democrat. I supported Howard Dean in 2004. He is a Fighting Democrat. When Democrats undermine Hillary on this issue they are doing the work that conservatives planned for them. Stop. Look at the big picture.
Of course, Hillary is correct about the War in Iraq in that the mistake was made by George Bush & Co. lying to the American people and Congress about the threat that existed. That should be the focus of all Democrats. I opposed the war from the beginning but have followed the issue closely enough to see that Bush manipulated the intelligence. Hillary was lied to and made her vote because of that. Plenty of Democrats supported the war initially (Al Franken for one) because of these lies. It wasn't a mistake on Hillary's part - it was a mistake on Bush's part. For you to pillary Hillary now on that issue is self-destructive. It is exactly what Karl Rove wants you to do and has laid the groundwork for you to do. Good luck with that. And good luck to all of us in 2008 if Democrats continue their self-destructive behavior.
