The conventional wisdom is that the Democratic race is largely over. And indeed, it may be. But it’s stunning to see the attempts among the Hillary faithful to tear down the Democratic frontrunner before the critical votes in Texas and Ohio. Interestingly, it seems that the Clinton team essentially has no qualms with Barack, they just fear what will happen to him when he gets exposed to the GOP attack machine. They list elements of Barack’s history, and register little or no concern about the substance. They just worry what will happen once Obama meets the attacks of the GOP machine. Typical is this piece from the Huffington Post:
One of the tidbits on Obama’s resume with which HuffPo has no problem? Recent ties to terrorists and PLO allies:
(While HuffPo doesn’t link it, the reference to funds for PLO allies is apparently from this article at World Net Daily.) Are the Huffington Post and other Clinton fans really unconcerned that the Democratic party may be on the verge of nominating a corrupt career politician from Chicago, who happens to have ties to domestic and international terrorism? One would think this might be a problem in and of itself, not just something to empower illegitimate attacks from the opposition. Note: Taylor Marsh provides a roadmap for the anticipated Republican attacks. She says however, that ‘it may not be right’ to dredge up Obama’s history — but Republicans are sure to do it. (Guess that separates them from the Clinton backers who are writing these pieces.)
