Just a quick question about ...

the Coulter Republicans accusing Hilary Clinton of engaging in character assassination and spouting political venom in her remarks about General Petraeus.

This is the party of Joe McCarthy, Karl Rove and the Swiftboaters, of Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Rielly and Sean Hannity?



Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Hilary's got nothing on these people when it comes to character assassination and spouting political venom. These are the people who invented character assassination and political vitriol in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Their attack on Hilary is more of the same. Rather than attack her on the issues, they make it personal ... perhaps because they recognize they can't win in a discussion of actual issues? I guess waging personal attacks on Hilary is easier than defending their war in Iraq, explaining away a domestic economy that's circling the bowl and health care system in this country that's not working as a result of their policies or making apologies for their legion of scandal ridden brethren.
