Hillary Channels George Bush


Just incredible is what this is. Not only is the Clinton campaign sounding more and more like the GOP, now Hillary herself is using Bush jingoism's to win votes in Indiana. What a nauseating display. What next, Maybe "Bring 'em On".


Posted: 06:30 PM ET

JEFFERSONVILLE, Indiana (CNN) –
After several days of back and forth between Hillary Clinton and Barack
Obama over whether a summer-long elimination of the gas tax would help
or hurt, Clinton took a hard line, asking her colleagues in Congress to
take sides.


“I believe it would be important to get every member of Congress on
record,” Clinton told supporters at a rally in southern Indiana. “Do
they stand with the hard-pressed Americans who are trying to pay their
gas bills at the gas station or do they once again stand with the oil
companies?


“I want to know where people stand and I want them to tell us, are
they with us or against us when it comes to taking on the oil
companies?” she added.


The “with us or against us” line wasn’t the only George W. Bush
reference Thursday evening. Telling a story about Republicans crossing
party lines and whispering their support to her, Clinton said, “It’s
kind of like a little bit of a confessional when somebody comes and
says, ‘You know I voted for George Bush, and I’m really sorry.’”

Michelle Malkin in Her Stride



So what else is new. While most of the blogosphere is giving kudos to
Obama for his presser yesterday and subsequent divorce from the good
Reverend Wright, Malkin is inconsolable.

"For the past 24 hours, Obama’s campaign too slowly grappled with how to
handle the aftermath of Wright’s whirlwind tour of hatred this weekend
— from Dallas, where he decried his “public crucifixion,” to Detroit,
where he entertained NAACP bigwigs with impersonations of white people,
mockeries of classical music and “white” marching bands, and lectures
on racial brain theories, to the National Press Club, where he preened,
strutted and head-wagged his way through an hour of bitter black
liberation theologizing"


Wow, it took him a full 24 hours to respond Wright's ravings this week. The queen of mean his high on her pitard casting judgment about with her in the bug eyed, spittle flecked way she's perfected over the years.


"What a load of pure unadulterated horse manure. Anyone with eyes can see that Wright’s performances are finely honed, time-tested acts. His anti-white, anti-American, “imperialist”-bashing shtick was not developed overnight or over the past few years"

Isn't it priceless seeing this flaming xenophobe accusing someone of racism? And then there's her take on slavery.

"He’s been grievance-mongering about slavery for decades."

and finally concluding with a

" He’s been grievance-mongering about slavery for decades."

And if your wondering how her commenter's are responding --

FRIDAY IRAQ REPORT

Updated at 8:50 p.m. EDT, April 25, 2008

Shi'ite cleric Moqtada
al-Sadr clarified recent comments about "open war" and urged his followers to
observe the ceasefire. At least 44 Iraqis were killed and another 120 were
wounded
across Iraq. An IED killed
an American soldier
south of Baghdad. Also, a delegation of lawmakers
wanting to assess the security situation in Basra were denied
access.

In a statement read to followers during Friday prayers, al-Sadr
again urged his followers
to observe a unilateral cease-fire he imposed on them last summer. He also clarified
recent statements about "open war" should the Iraqi government not hold up their
end of a truce worked out after recent clashes in Basra. He does not want Iraqis
of any sect to attack each other. Instead, he hopes they will unite to fight the
occupation, if he should declare the cease fire over. A senior aide said that
the Sadrists hope the statement will further curb the violence in Sadr City and
Basra. Attacks between the Mahdi army and Iraqi security forces followed a "security
crackdown" that many analysts believe was attempt to sideline al-Sadr ahead of
elections.

In Baghdad, three
bodies
were found overnight. A roadside bomb wounded
three
in Adhamiya. Gunmen attacked a checkpoint, injuring three
Iraqi soldiers
; the soldiers then killed
five gunmen
. U.S. forces killed
10 suspects
in northeastern Baghdad and arrested
five in a southern neighborhood.
