Turning the “McCarthy” comment into money

Hillary Clinton’s campaign, which is urgently trying to close the fundraising gap with Barack Obama, is using the recent flap between Bill Clinton and senior Obama aide Retired Gen. Merrill “Tony” McPeak in its latest pitch to raise campaign dollars.
Over the weekend, McPeak, with Obama standing by his side, criticized comments made earlier by Bill Clinton, comparing them to those made decades ago by former Sen. Joseph McCarthy during his widely-discredited anti-Communist tirades.
Today, Clinton Campaign Chairman Terry McAuliffe, in an e-mail to supporters, said such comment demonstrate the nature of the Obama campaign and the need for Clinton to have the resources to respond.
“Ever since we won in Ohio and Texas we have been seeing these kinds of personal attacks from the Obama campaign,”McAuliffe wrote. “It’s hard to believe that a campaign that talks so much about changing the tenor of our politics would employ these kinds of tactics, but its the kind of thing we are seeing every day from Senator Obama and his campaign.”
McAuliffe added that: “There’s no better way to fight back than to show your support for our campaign in the face of these attacks.”
For Clinton’s campaign, such efforts are increasingly important as the two candidates head toward next month’s Pennsylvania primary. According to recent financial reports,ÂÂ Obama had $32 million on hand at the end of February, compared to only $11 million for Clinton.

think we need a discussion about frivolous lawsuits
which are aimed at stopping prosecutors from discharging
their constitutional obligationl…the recent mount
vernon indictments are a complete rebutall of those
who said that federal authorities were attempting to
influence the election..and the zherka lawsuit
against various unnamed defendants in the face of
an investigation by the manhattan county da is another
example…the justice system needs to sanction these
kinds of lawsuits and sanction the lawyers who file
them..in fact a grievance may be appropriate
How about the Clinton camp’s James Carville calling Bill Richardson Judas for selling out the Clintons by endorsing Obama? He said it was ironic because it happened during Holy Week. Thirty pieces of silver or a VP slot promise?
Sam Zherka is off the wall and is officially under criminal investigation in Manhattan—based on quotes from his own legal papers which were quoted on this blog. Someone should file grievances against any lawyer who files frivolous suits, or counter sue. Lawyers like that know their suits are frivolous but do it anyway for the money they get paid.
Richardson looks like he should try professional wrestling for a while. He might have to. Carville, too, unless he decides to do horror movies. Al Gore is hoping Obama and Hillary both lose and that the planet heats up, contrary to the latest NASA facts. Then, he either tries to run in 2012 or else he, too, at 350 lbs. joins the other two in the WWWF.
James Carville is personally enamored of Hillary..and
he admits it …”I just love the woman” he has told
tim russert more than one time..he actually is a Clintonista
big time who wants Bill back in the white house…and so
anything that spoils the plan like the democrats falling
in love with Obama is of course high treason….but richardson is not the only Clinton former cabinet official
to support Obama…there are several others including clintons former attorney during the impeachment proceedings
HMMMM wonder what he knows?
Mr Edelman
You mentioned in a Mar 18th Yonkers Tribune Blog entry, that you didnt think Obama can carry New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida, arent they democratic strong holds. Do you really think Mcain will carry those states.
Also you mentioned that Obama’s Rev. called America the KKK
Did Louis Farakhan as you mentioned really call Judaism a gutter religion?
Just want to confirm.
