So now it's not just BuzzFlash bringing up in February this
contemptible right wing attack style tactic by the Clinton campaign.
Senator Clinton's campaign appears to think that only it can beat the
right wing attack machine by employing their reprehensible tactics
against a fellow Democrat. In fact, in the case of the Ayers slander
on Obama, the Clinton campaign has basically been feeding the right
wing the story with a pink ribbon wrapped around it.
I don't recall a note from an ardent supporter of Clinton deploring
the Senator's tactics. There is some emotional blind attachment to
the idea that a woman in the White House would change things, even if
she is behaving in this campaing more like Karl Rove than Eleanor
Roosevelt. If Karl Rove were Karla Rove would that make his methods
suddenly "feminist" and worthy of support by the "Clinton sisterhood"?
Glory be, we hope not.
The bottom line is that Clinton's right wing smear campaign tactics
have forced many supporters of the positive nurturing, embracing
qualities of Feminism down into the gutter with a flawed candidate,
whose gender is secondary to his thirst for power.
