In an Orwellian stroke I just watched Hillary Clinton respond to the Samantha Power( Obama aide) "monster" quote thusly:
"Particularly when they're talking to foreign governments and press." So Hillary, in seeking to tie Power's Iraq comments to NAFTA, is claiming, in effect, that the Obama camp tells Americans one thing and foreigners another, right?"
There is just one problem...It wasn't the Obama campaign that told their real feelings regarding NAFTA it was CLINTON'S!!!
Even after its been made public that they, the Clinton campaign, were the ones responsible for NAFTAGATE, Clinton nevertheless uses it to attack Obama.
I've seen this tactic used somewhere before...let's see..."The Clean Air Act"..."Leave No Child Behind"..."The Patriot Act..."Terrorism" (in the sense that we do what we say our enemies are doing to us)
The Bush administration is so brazen that they will turn the truth around 180 degrees. "Spreading Democracy" while supporting Mushareff and the Saudis..."Attacking the terrorists" while kicking in the homes of Iraqi's, using "shock and awe" in the first stage of war etc. etc.
Clinton is the one that lied about renegotiating NAFTA...she was for NAFTA when it was passed, has supported it sense, and now we know she still supports it. She knows Obama never lied about NAFTA yet she still uses the lie despite her campaign being the parties responsible.
I just watched Matthews say, "Obama took some heat on NAFTA and deservedly so you can't say one thing in public and another in private to the Canadiens" despite Olbermann saying last night on his network that it was Clinton responsible for the thing.
The whole thing hurts my brain. The media is totally hammering Obama on this still even after the truth has come out. Will they ever pick on the fact that Clinton was the responsible party? Do they know and don't care?
