everyone

I’ve made it thru half the thread, and I agree with various posters who see Clinton techniques at work here.

I have no idea whether or how the Clinton team was involved in obtaining and/or creating the documents in the first place, but the response is classic Clinton.

The Clinton administration was 8 years of ad hominem attacks on anyone who dared to question their leadership.

They were famous for that; in fact, they were credited with the innovation of keeping the “war room” up and running after they’d won the election. They purposely governed as if they were in the middle of a hard-fought election, not in between elections.

That was one of the things that drove me out of the party.

I would find myself disagreeing with something the Clintons had done, and then I’d find myself (as a member of the group of people who shared my criticism) being publicly called names by the President and his wife.

All of a sudden I’m getting told, by my President, no less, that anyone who thinks like me is a member of the vast right-wing conspiracy. So I’m sitting there thinking, Hey. I voted for you twice. Now you call me names?

I’m serious about this: Clinton’s constant ad hominem responses to attacks and criticism broke my identification with the party.

That’s what we see here in the CBS & DNC response.

So far they’ve attacked their own experts, Bush, bloggers, right wing “political operatives,” the list goes on.

That’s classic Clinton.
