Rightwingers Attacking War Supporters
This is what it’s come to. The local newspaper in my town in Virginia today ran an op-ed by rightwinger Cal Thomas attacking Hillary Clinton for her past support for the war. Thomas began by criticizing Clinton for pretending she had never supported the war, but the bulk of his column blamed her simply for supporting it and for falling for the lies that Bush had used to sell it:
“One wonders what took such a smart woman until January 2007 in Iowa to conclude that she had been duped. And, one wonders: If she can be misled by so many people in whom she has confidence, how will she be able to see clearly as president?”
Along with this column, the paper printed a cartoon from the San Antonio Express News that shows Hillary with a “Hillary 08″ button thinking “He’s not the only one I wish would go away.” She’s reading an article about Obama, and walking up behind her is another Hillary labeled “Pro-War Hillary.”
