Three Lies

I listened to Hillary Clinton's comments on this TPM post.

1) Bill Clinton will be minimized in her campaign and she blatantly says the opposite.
2) She does not always "stand our ground" to Republicans in defense of Democratic ideals in VERY important ways. This was Barney Frank's point, too, that we shouldn't be uniters, that we need to fight! Who has been fighting for us in Congress? Feingold, Dodd, Kucinich. At least Obama doesn't pretend to be partisan! Yet I think he has been and will be the most progressive!
3) I don't think this was in the video, but she has denied that Clinton's Jesse Jackson comment was racial, or that they are race baiting. B.S. As Maureen Dowd points out, they dissed MLK [my comment on this incident was that they could have logically and clearly made their policy point merely by mentioning just JFK and LBJ; they didn't need to bring in MLK at all] as someone who couldn't get policy made, and now they are comparing Obama's win to someone, who's connection to Obama just happens to be that they are both "black," who didn't win the nomination.
