Giuliani: Hillary Clinton will change her mind again on Iraq

October 29, 2007

Asked at a town-hall meeting to characterize the mission of U.S. troops in Iraq, Giuliani said they have done an admirable job.

"Do I think the mission overall in Iraq is the correct one, I think without a doubt it is," the former New York mayor said at Insight Technologies, which makes tactical weapon lights and laser systems for the military.

"And I think the Democrats are going to change their minds about it again," Giuliani said, noting that Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Edwards voted as senators for the initial invasion in 2003.

Edwards, who is no longer in the Senate, since has apologized for his vote. Clinton has not apologized, but has said she would not have voted for the measure authorizing use of force if she had known then what she knows now.

"I think they're going to change their minds. I think the verdict of history is going to be that it was the right decision," Giuliani said.

He argued that had the U.S. not invaded Iraq, it would now be facing two dangerous countries trying to become nuclear powers — Iraq and Iran.

Anti-Hillary Clinton Video Draws Attention

October 29, 2007

[flash Part One [flash Part Two

First came the Orwellian mash up YouTube video that portrayed Hillary Rodham Clinton as Big Brother. Then came a clip of her off-key rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. Now, a stinging 13-minute video by a bitter Clinton foe is finding its own Internet audience.

The clip, a preview of a longer film by one-time Clinton donor Peter Paul, has scored more than 1.4 million hits on Google Video and about 350,000 on YouTube during the past week. Its popularity has driven it to the top spot on Google Video over the past two weeks.

Hillary Planned Bloggergate in 1995

October 29, 2007

By Richard Lawrence Poe

LAST WEEK this column unveiled Bloggergate, a massive effort by Hillary Clinton to tilt the blogosphere in her favor, by subsidizing leftwing bloggers. Hillary’s ambition to control the Internet did not form overnight. She was already pondering how to do it in 1995.

Hillary Clinton's Bloggergate Of course, no one used the word "blogger" in 1995. In those days, online forums called "newsgroups" provided the medium of choice for anti-Clinton writers.

Hillary formed a special task force within the White House Counsel’s office to fight the New Media. As noted in my 2004 book Hillary’s Secret War: The Clinton Conspiracy to Muzzle Internet Journalists, the task force compiled a secret report titled, The Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce, written by White House aides Mark Fabiani and Chris Lehane.

The report blamed talk radio, online newsgroups and other New Media outlets for spreading “conspiracy theories” about the 1993 death of deputy White House counsel Vincent Foster. Hillary viewed these "conspiracy theories" as the number one threat to the Clinton White House, at the time.

Is the Power of ‘Hillary Hate’ Waning?

October 29, 2007

David Weigel's cover piece in the American Conservative goes well with today's post about Hillary Clinton's ironclad ceiling and floor in opinion polls. Antipathy for Hillary can only take the Republican candidate so far; any winning campaign is going to require a popular agenda.

My only quibble is that I suspect some indicators are more reliable measures of waning Hillary hate than others. Weigel cites the bountiful early fundraising of Giuliani and Rick Lazio in their Senate bids against Hillary Clinton in 2000, compared to relatively anemic Republican fundraising today. But Giuliani and Lazio (in succession) each presented himself as "the Hillary Slayer"; now we have four, five, six, or more men competing for that title, and dividing anti-Hillary money among them.

(Thinking out loud: Have any of those who strongly dislike Hillary donated to Obama?)

Weigel also cites the National Republican Senatorial Committee having lousy luck with fundraisers with a Hillary theme this cycle. Yes, but NRSC spent a bundle helping Lincoln Chafee defeat conservative Stephen Laffey in 2006, irking the conservative grassroots no end. Between certain high-profile Republican senators sponsoring the immigration deal and national punchline Larry Craig, I imagine the NRSC has had a challenging sell this cycle.

Is Hillary Rodham Clinton Immoral or Amoral?

October 29, 2007

By Mark Holzer

Much of Hillary Clinton’s conduct has not involved issues of morality. She has been a poseur, playing the role of victimized, yet forgiving wife, during the Lewinsky scandal. She has been a hypocrite, castigating the President for warrantless surveillance but using purloined tapes to her own political advantage. She has been a paranoid, complaining to the world about the alleged “right wing conspiracy.” She has been a conniver, ousting career White House travel office employees in favor of her cronies. She has been a dilettante, presuming to make over America’s health care system.

While this conduct, and much more like it, has been unseemly and at odds with the image that had been projected by modern-era First Ladies from Eleanor Roosevelt to Barbara Bush, none of it raised serious moral questions.

On the other hand, Clinton has done many things that have raised serious moral questions.
