Obama Backer Revives Clinton Scandals

March 11, 2008

By Ben Smith

Another sign of the anger in Obamaland at the Clinton campaign: an email from a member of Obama's LGBT leadership council, Maxim Thorne, to a couple of listservs:

"We cannot tolerate her lies and stolen election," Thorne wrote of Clinton, revisiting familiar themes:

At 3am, Hillary said she and Bill were in bed and she knows of all the calls a President gets at different times of the day and night. Really? So much involvement - so much togetherness. Where was she when Monica was having sex with Bill? 35 years of experience? When he was intimidating Katherine Wiley and Paula Jones? Where was the judgment on the cattle futures and white water. Do we forget Mark and Denise Rich? This was an impeached President who lost his license to practice law. He committed perjury. They settled with Paula Jones for the full amount of her lawsuit. I haven't forgotten and none of us should.

"These comments have no place in this campaign," said Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor, who couldn't immediately say whether Thorne would be leaving his position with the campaign.

UPDATE: Vietor said Thorne is resigning from the leadership council, and that the campaign has accepted his resignation.

Full email after the jump.

Hillary Clinton is a disaster for the democratic party. Now she prefers McCain to Obama. Now we know it was SHE who told the Canadian government that her railings against NAFTA were political posturing. It was not Barack's campaign!

We cannot tolerate her lies and stolen election.

Time for all of us democratics to wake up to this disgusting turn. As democratics this should affirm the end of her campaign.

At 3am, Hillary said she and Bill were in bed and she knows of all the calls a President gets at different times of the day and night. Really? So much involvement - so much togetherness. Where was she when Monica was having sex with Bill? 35 years of experience? When he was intimidating Katherine Wiley and Paula Jones? Where was the judgment on the cattle futures and white water. Do we forget Mark and Denise Rich? This was an impeached President who lost his licence to practice law. He committed perjury. They settled with Paula Jones for the full amount of her lawsuit. I haven't forgotten and none of us should.

I remember the scandal when the Clintons' bags were searched when they left the White House and they had to return historic artifacts and gifts.

When Bin Laden was building Al Qaeda, Bill and she were fighting impeachment, fighting Paula Jones, fighting Katherine Wiley.

Please, we are going down a nasty road with a nasty, secretive and proven lying Clinton. We should all want to see her tax returns, I want to see her White House emails. Let really send this candidate what she deserves: the spotlight on her vetting. She says she's been vetted. Partly true and it's not pretty what came out.

What still has to be vetted are her tax returns, her White House performance (we already know her disasterous failure on healthcare), her WH emails, the donations to the Clinton Foundation and library etc.

Time to moveon again. Obama is the only credible candidate who can move on beyond this continuing nasty dynasty of Clinton and Bushes.

It’s about damned time Obama hits The Monster back. I am surprised he didn’t do it sooner. Obama should do his own version of the ‘red phone’ ad…..the possibilities are endless.

I totally agree.. if she is wilingly to throw the kitchen sink that isnt even the truth most times and exaggerated the other times… then she should be able to answer up for all the dang crimes these two have commited while in Arkansas and in the White House!
Let us not forget all the dead people that follow the two of them! Get in their way and funny how you end up committing suicide… clinton chronicles ….you tube… watch it….

and what about China? she is so owned by china it is incredible….

What about NAFTA…. people please stop and think about it …. once a president leaves office,,,, what they put into place while in office is still in effect…
All our factories are leaving and leaving all those people in Ohio and other states jobless… yet they vote for her? …. whatever…..

I am sick of the media saying that Obama is only getting the Black Vote….
I am a white woman, 44 , Republican……middle class.. and I SUPPORT BARACK OBAMA
WHY? BECAUSE HE IS A MAN THAT PUT HIS OWN FINANCIAL GAIN ON THE BACK BURNER AND WENT TO WORK FOR THE POOREST OF THIS COUNTRY TO HELP THEM! HE DIDN’T HAVE TO DO THAT , HE DID IT BECAUSE HE FELT IT IN HIS HEART! HILLARY DOESN’T EVEN HAVE A HEART TO BEGIN TO HELP OUT THE POOR IN THIS COUNTRY!
why is she not FIRING FERRARO? BECAUSE SHE PLOTTED IT WITH HER! THAT IS WHY! SHE IS DIVIDING THIS COUNTRY INTO BLACK AND WHITE ON PURPOSE! SHE THINKS SHE CAN WIN THAT WAY AND THE STUPID WHITE PEOPLE JUST FOLLOW HER INTO PUTTING THIS COUNTRY INTO HELL AGAIN!
NOT ME!

obama needs to address issues not only about whitewater scandal but about body counts connected to the clintons or should I say kiltons administartion. Maybe the Obama team is saving these juicy issues for the grand finale.

Got something to say?
