Hillary Clinton's Dirty Robocalls in Nevada

[obamian]

This is indefensible.

Two Obama supporters said they received automated phone calls Friday evening in which the senator was described as supporting a Republican agenda.

Gregory Martin, a financial adviser in Reno, said the caller, who had a woman's voice, said she was calling to bring to his attention recent comments Obama had made "in support of the Republican Party and Bush's vision for America." The call also said Obama was in favor of storing nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain and was identified as coming from "friends of Hillary Clinton," Martin said.

Amber Erlich, an Obama volunteer from Phoenix, received a similar recorded call at the home of another volunteer in Pioche, Nev., she said. The caller, also a woman, said Obama wants to dump waste at Yucca Mountain and had called the Republican Party "the party of ideas," Erlich said.

1. Hey, if it worked for Bush in SC in 2000, maybe it will work for Hillary now

As long as you're lifting strategies from Rove's playbook, you might as well go all the way. I can't wait for the calls informing voters that Obama "may have fathered a black child."

9. Funny....

:spray:


but to be serious...this mixed with the lawsuit have given me serious doubts as to whether I could vote for her in the GE if she gets the nom.

[ursi]

2. smell the desperation ....

[Nailzberg]

3. Does she want to be a leader, or a misleader?

[Tom Rinaldo]

4. I'll assume it's true and I won't defend it.

But it isn't clear yet who actually is arranging for such calls to be made from what your link says. I'll assume it is from some person or persons who want Clinton to win rather than someone trying to embarass her campaign - but that still does not nail it down.

15. umm quick on the draw assumption me thinks.

[Jai4WKC08]

30. Me also

I don't doubt the robo-calls are being made. That's a fair tactic (debatable how effective). But I would be surprised if they turned out to be saying anything that wasn't at least technically true. It's pretty easy to mishear, misunderstand, or misreport the details, especially when you're ready to believe the worst.

I'd be willing to bet that a transcript will emerge if it's really that bad, and I will reserve judgment until one does. If we hear nothing, I will assume there was nothing to it.

5. This shouldnt suprise anyone

with hillary we become everything we hate about the republicans.

[AtomicKitten]

23. That is the sad unfortunate truth.

It is surreal.

[BenDavid]

6. HRC will win Nevada......and place second in SC, and on

February 5th will win over 10 plus states......Sorry obama....maybe 2016

[babylonsister]

10. So you are defending this? You are mouthy but not when it counts. nt

[Big Blue Marble]

12. And you will really feel proud of her? n/t

[Azathoth]

21. When Obama wins the nom, the meltdown in Hillaryland is gonna make Britney's latest episode

look like a mild hangover. :hi:

[Clintonista2]

25. 2016? Maybe 2020, minimum

[cali]

31. how unsurprising that you care nothing for the ethics of

her campaign. You endorse these tactics. That's pretty clear.

[gateley]

7. Yes it is - IF it's actually coming from Hillary's Campaign. "Friends of Hillary"

may just be an independent group of zealous supporters. Kind of like the anti-abortion couple who sent out plastic fetuses to everybody in their town.

Don't jump to conclusions. If it's determined it IS the Clinton campaign, THEN you can say "Hillary Clinton's Dirty Robocalls in Nevada".

I just don't trust anything that happens anymore.

[FrenchieCat]

8. Let's raise a big stink a la Hillary supporter and get this to the front page.....

so that the media can pick up on this dirty trick.

Obama is for a Bush Agenda?
So many lies, so little time! :shrug:

[Big Blue Marble]

11. If you campaign this way, imagine how you govern.

How will your constituents trust you. Just as much as we trust Bush.
The Clintons play dirty politics to win. That is all the matters. And
people who have a hard time thinking for themselves fall for it.

[rodeodance]

13. "Two Obama supporters said" ummm

[babylonsister]

18. So? Maybe those two didn't want to bad mouth her. nt

[rodeodance]

19. oh god--You crack me up sometimes!!

[still_one]

14. Maybe they should look at how Hillary voted on the IWR or the bankrupcy bill

both of which have helped make the economic situation far worse

Do they really buy that nonesense that "I was misled"

misled my foot

Here is what the past Clinton administration stood for:

16. Atta girl, Hillary...make us proud....

That's a really pathetic tactic.

[madrchsod]

17. since obama is a republican why would this be a surprise?

i must obey.... i must obey

[Emit]

20. We got this call this evening, too.

We're in NV. My SO answered, and made mention to me that "Hillary's supporters are slamming Obama now." It was a gut reaction to the call.

[rodeodance]

22. Edwards, Clinton Critical of Obama--this is actual headline from where these 2 short

paragraphs come from.

24. It's the truth and I hope it works. Once the empty suit's gone, the empty pantsuit will soon follow.

:beer:

[Radical Activist]

26. I used to think the Democratic Party wasn't as dirty as the Republicans

with all of their ugly tactics. I guess that won't be true if Hillary gets the nomination.

[Diane R]

27. There'e no difference between the Clintons and Karl Rove and Bush.

[Barack_America]

28. When will Hillary speak out against these? Where's the "zero tolerance"?

Considering she runs such a clean campaign and all.

[mckeown1128]

29. kick....nt
