Funding for Swift Boat Attacks Against Hillary Already Underway

Quote:
Persons on Republican mailing lists this week received an appeal for funds from Dick Morris, President Bill Clinton's political strategist in 1995-1996, asking for a contribution between $25 and $100 or more to finance a critical film documentary of Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Signing the letter as "Former Clinton Adviser," Morris wrote: "If you liked how the Swift Boat Veterans turned the tide against John Kerry, you understand how a top Clinton aide can turn the tables and stop a Clinton-style liberal from becoming the next president of the United States."

Dick Morris, closet conservative, former advisor to Bill Clinton turned right-wing hit man, is asking conservatives for money so he can make a film about Hillary Clinton being a satan worshipper and part-time S&M dominatrix.

Actually I only guessed at what Morris is going to say. But he is currently asking for money and will soon release a film so filled with lies that it make Bagdad Bob looks honest. But I'm sure the Republicans will believe every word of it.

Any conservatives here want to make a donation, you can locate his info at thehill.com.

There needs to be a new standard for truth in political advertising with criminal penalties for intentional falsehoods.

Come on now. Everybody knows you don't have to lie about Mrs Bill Clinton to make her look bad! She does that good enough on her own, plus the truth will make her look like the shrieking beast that she is.

Do you have some personal knowledge of what she is really like, or are you just repeating wing nut Hanny-Rush ?

Re: Funding for Swift Boat Attacks Against Hillary Already Underway

No lies needed - just show the record of her dismal failure in healthcare reform under her husband's administration.

Her one large, visible policy initiative was an unmitigated disaster. She's had a go at leadership at the national level, and flopped.

Well, there are laws against libel and slander. But clever politicos generally make it difficult to absolutely pin those crimes on them. Direct lies are relatively rare. Half-truths are more popular.
And, I imagine, the law tries to have a light touch in regards to politcal adds figuring that, when it comes to political statements, it's better to err on the side of restricting too little speech than restricting too much.

And decades before GW Bush became president he was a useless drunk.

Point is, if you're going to go that far back, of course you'll find failure somewhere along the line. But the Hillary Clinton I see today is a much better public servant than the Hillary back then.

I'm curious if any wing-nut will have the courage to actually debate her Senate record, which is a much more accurate indicator of her ability.

I'll buy that, I am sick of the bullshit and mud slinging.
These people are supposed to be adults running the country, not some kiddies fighting over a barby/ken doll.
Other than being semi-comical at times, it is pretty pathetic and embarrassing.

If that's true it begs the equestion:
Why did the fund raiser feel it was advantageous to bring up the swift boat tactic? Even among republicans "swiftboating" is a euphemism for a character assasination based on lies. Clearly he believes lies are something the base wants.
