Hillary Clinton’s Two Faced Attack On MoveOn

8:49 pm EST April 18th, 2008 | Democrats, Politics | 6 Comments

She’s standing on a platform of Jello. Via MSNBC’s Verdict with Dan Abrams here is Sen. Clinton slamming MoveOn (and by extension everyone who’s ever had the desire to be a progressive/Democratic activist) and here is Sen. Clinton just a year ago saying what great work she thinks MoveOn has done. This of course is part of her ongoing argument versus caucusing because she does badly there, but it also shows us – like with her vote in favor of the Iraq War – how quickly she would have thrown the progressive base of the party under the bus had she been the nominee.

Luckily, we dodged the bullet.

    It looks as if the attempted narrative will be that she was only speaking of MoveOn, and not the (her words, which don’t show up in the video) “activist base of the Democratic party” in general.

    What part of the Republican talking points book is she stealing from now? BTW, MoveOn — originally formed during Bill’s term to promote the idea of censuring Pres Clinton for the Monica business — and then moving on.

    Aw shucks, buma beat me to it.
    Does this make her a dishonest politician? You know, one who does not stay bought.
