Obama's Smear Machine hits NYC

Sat Jan 26, 2008 at 07:29:22 PM PDT

We just got our first mailing smearing the Clintons.

What is suspect is that it is addressed to the same name we use to donate money to democratic candidates.

What is creepy is that it is has the identical tone and lack of substance as the hit diaries in Daily Kos.

Someone within the democratic offices gave out our name.  Someone who is trying to take down Clinton.

The mailer comes from this organization

Sneakiness is what I dislike the most about the Obama Hit Machine. He pretends to be "above the fray" as operatives churn out hit pieces in the liberal blogs.

This one is amazing.  I'll type some of it below.

NYT Front Page: HRC's Economic Plan

Mon Jan 21, 2008 at 08:58:48 AM PDT

FINALLY: a balanced article with substance on HRC in the NYT.

Over the last few weeks, the coverage ranged from negative to TV gossip snotty.  "Oooo Bill snapped at a clueless reporter."  "Hmm wonder what personality Hill will wear today?"

Her debate performances (that justified her as a legitimate candidate, and not "legacy") went totally ignored.

That compounded with the hiring of Kristol was putting a depressing pall over the NYC skyline.

THIS is a plan:

Obama: Pumping out the Hit Diaries

Sun Jan 20, 2008 at 03:59:07 PM PDT

It's heartening to know that I'm not the only dem
sickened by this onslaught of Smear Diaries from
the Obama people.

I can hardly believe that this seemingly nice candidate is
spewing out this kind of venom.

Then again, on 3 occasions in my life,
I have worked with a certain personality type - they always
have  a disarming, almost haunting sweetness and charm  
that can only be called Angelic.
Only to be shocked as they suddenly do something cynical and almost
anti human. Their co-workers are always in disbelief.  Even people they've
hurt go into denial that this person they worshipped acted
to do them in.
Each of these Angel/Demons had one other trait:  They could
not stand to lose.
