Clinton Trash Talk Litters Palmetto State

We haven't seen anything this ugly in South Carolina since the Rebs fired on Fort Sumter!

It started in Nevada, when Barrack Hussein Obama told the Reno Gazette-Journal's editorial board that "Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not, and a way that Bill Clinton did not."

That remark caused Bill Clinton to flip out and the Bill and Hillary tag team went into overdrive.

In the nasty Dem debate on January 21st (transcript) Hillary said that Reagan and Republican ideas were "bad ideas for America." And in a Hillary radio ad run on SC stations an announcer with a deep voice and southern twang, declared that Republican ideas were "disastrous."

But in that Myrtle Beach debate, Obama pointed out that Hillary had "fulsome praise of Ronald Reagan in a book by Tom Brokaw that's being published right now." In that book, Hillary said Reagan "Could call the Soviet Union the Evil Empire and then negotiate arms-control agreements. He played the balance and the music beautifully. "

Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne, not a member of what Hillary called the "vast right wing conspiracy" went further in describing how both Clintons are now criticizing Obama for doing exactly what they themselves have done:

Clinton's Depressing Assault on Obama

It was a remarkable moment: A young, free-thinking presidential hopeful named Bill Clinton sat down with reporters and editors at The Washington Post in October 1991 and started saying things most Democrats wouldn't allow to pass their lips.

Ronald Reagan, Clinton said, deserved credit for winning the Cold War. He praised Reagan's "rhetoric in defense of freedom" and his role in "advancing the idea that communism could be rolled back."

"The idea that we were going to stand firm and reaffirm our containment strategy, and the fact that we forced them to spend even more when they were already producing a Cadillac defense system and a dinosaur economy, I think it hastened their undoing," Clinton declared.

Clinton was careful to add that the Reagan military program included "a lot of wasted money and unnecessary expenditure," but the signal had been sent: Clinton was willing to move beyond "the brain-dead politics in both parties," as he so often put it.

His apostasy was widely noticed. The Memphis Commercial Appeal praised Clinton two days later for daring to "set himself apart from the pack of contenders for the Democratic nomination by saying something nice about Ronald Reagan." Clinton's "readiness to defy his party's prevailing Reaganphobia and admit it," the paper wrote, "is one reason he's a candidate to watch."
...
And with both Clintons on record saying kind things about Reagan, why go after Obama on the point? Honestly: If Obama is a Reaganite, then I am a salamander.
Obama's response to the attacks has been to repeat something many of us have known for a long time, but that some Democrats are only now beginning to understand. In a new radio ad for Obama, an announcer describes Hillary Clinton thusly: "She'll say anything, and change nothing. It's time to turn the page."

Windows Panes Smashed in Hillary's Glass House!

In that same nasty debate, Hillary attacked Obama for his close ties to Antoin Rezko an indicted Chicago businessman and fundraiser for Obama whom Hillary described as a "slumlord."

And yet, here is Hillary and Bill posing in a photograph with that same "slumlord"

And let's not forget that Hillary has her own problems with criminal fundraisers:

Bigtime fundraiser Norman Hsu, now behind bars after years on the lam and Hillary Clinton.

And let's not forget Hillary posing at another White House Christmas fundraiser party with convicted drug smuggler Jorge Cabrera.

All this proves is that you can take the white trash out of Arkansas. But you can't take the white trash out of the Clintons!
