Important Action Alert! Hillary campaign on the lookout for “any unethical tactics our opponents may use”
Update: Hillary operative Mark Penn says they were just kidding about the Obambi grade-school opposition research (hat tip – RWV). Snort:

Cracking down…or cracking up?
Having finished scouring Barack Obama’s elementary school essays, the Hillary Clinton campaign is rallying the nutroots and Iowa supporters to help them uncover “dirty campaign tactics:”
Dear Friend,
I wanted to let you know immediately about reports our campaign has received about possible dirty campaign tactics in Iowa and New Hampshire — and ask for your help.
In Iowa, we have heard reports that Hillary supporters are getting calls that tell them incorrect caucus locations. Supporters have also told us about push polls — when they tell the pollster they support Hillary, they are given negative talking points about her and asked which attacks are the most effective.
In both Iowa and New Hampshire, we have heard that Obama staffers are berating Hillary supporters on the phone with negative attacks against her.
Here is one report we got from someone who received a push poll in Iowa:
I do want to let you know, Saturday afternoon, I had a phony pollster call from “an independently owned polling service” … With my first choice as Hillary and undecided 2nd choice. I was asked if I approved of the direction the country was taking. The question then shifted. “Which of these three options best defines your candidate? 1) Inconsistent on major issues. 2) A weak contender in the general election. 3) Not able to bring change to Washington.” I told them I would not answer because it was not a polling question … I asked where they were calling from. Repeatedly the response was that they were calling from the United States and it was paid for by an independently owned polling firm.Here is another report from a letter to the editor in an Iowa paper:
The bullying coming from some of the other Democratic candidates is childlike and not what the Democrats stand for. I even had some guy call me from the Obama camp and start bullying me over the phone when I said I supported Hillary. He started arguing and got aggressive on the phone. I did tell him his behavior was not appropriate.And here is a report from New Hampshire:
When my father informed them that he was supporting Hillary they proceeded to talk to him about her failure to reform health care when she was First Lady. He said it sounded like they were reading something that was already prepared.
These reports are invaluable to our campaign! It is vitally important that we know about any unethical tactics our opponents may use.
Talking about the failures of Hillarycare. How diiiiirty.
Yesterday, I likened the two Dem front-runners to Punch and Judy. A commenter suggested that Itchy and Scratchy were more apt.
I’m thinking even these two are more sophisticated than Hillary and Obambi.

Update: Just a side note…The letter to the editor cited by the Hillary campaign is here. (Thanks to Dan Riehl for the pointer). The letter is signed by “Debra Ervin” of Morning Sun, Iowa. Debra Ervin is a member of Iowa Health Care Professionals for Hillary.
Of course, it’s not noted in her letter.

Dan Riehl: “Dirty tricks? Yeah, consider the source.”
Allahpundit: A “dirty trick”…from the Left!

Thanks for the great laugh, Hillary
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Can dish it out but can’t take it.
How long until these ‘independent’ pollster calls & harrassment is blamed on the Republicans?
Aren’t some of these complaints (misinforming voters as to poll locations) the same ones attributed to the Republicans in 2000 / 2004 / 2006?
I thought it was the Republicans who were supposed to ‘disenfranchise’ voters and the Democrats who were above that sort of thing?
Silly me. Must be part of that vast right-wing conspiracy.
She really can’t take the heat. Unfit for the job.
I’ll keep my eyes open.
The Hilldog campaign has all the appearances of a campaign with the wheels falling off…
I guess she discovered that she’s less than inevitable…
It’s really amazing that it only took her being confronted with ONE question (the Illegal Amigo license program of New York) to cause her this much grief.
Of Obama had any gravitas at all he’d have taken her out by now.
The only way I see the Coronation of Queen Hillary happening is if the media lets her sail to the general election without having to field any tough questions, even at the debates.
Now they will cover for her whenever they can, but I don’t think they can, or will go THAT far for her…
Doctor, heal thyself!
or,
You don’t have to look past the nose on your face.
or
You’ll find what you desire, if you only look into a mirror.
You know the old saying, that states when you point a finger at others, you have four fingers pointing back at you? Perfect example, no?
Actually, they’re looking to augment their own play book of “Dirty Political Tactics Edition 5.”
On the other hand, have you seen the latest discovery of her oppo team?
Has anybody seen where Bill is?
soon they will want all the grade school transcripts of all the voters in Iowa.
Who would talk to some stranger that calls on the phone anyway? A person has to be crazy to believe anyone that calls these days and to get in an argument with someone like that, insane.
Quick,
EVERYONE send her a mirror.
This is what is known as the pot calling the kettle black.
A wonderful example supporting what Ann Coulter once said: “If you want to know what liberals are up to, listen to what they’re accusing you of.”
I was wondering when the nut-cracker was going to make this blog – LOL!
Sniff Sniff Sniff, smells like desperation.
Oh the irony of it all……..(sigh).
Unethical, according to Clintonism philosophy, equates to the Truth.
They don’t like to hurt.
Question – has there ever been a “clean” political campaign? I can’t ever remember hearing of or seeing one, at least during my lifetime. But it seems like they get dirtier and more cynical every election cycle. Oh, well – we’re just a bunch of morons, anyhow, so they can lie, cheat and steal their way into elective office, and we’ll never notice it – in fact, we’ll keep reelecting them.
I’m sure Vince Foster is somewhere not laughing.
I believe that Reagan ran an ethical campaign, but I am certain someone will correct me if I am wrong.
The Bitchy & Scratchy Show?
Sounds to me as if some of these callers were telling
the truth. That’s dirty tricks? This from one half of the
couple that has perfected dirty tricks in that when
someone accuses one or both of them of something,
a smear campaign against that person or those people, immediately ensues.
Shouldn’t the house cleaning begin at home?
These people are used to such soft treatment from the press that they think they can say any loony thing they want and it will be seen as profound.
I’ve heard that some of Hillary’s staffers are calling Iowa voters and spreading the rumor that Obama’s mother bore a black child. Shameful, just shameful.
30 pcs of silver
“Can dish it out but can’t take it.”
BINGO! I’ve always said when a liberal/Dem is pointing a finger at the Republicans or conservatives and accusing them of something, just put a mirror in front of them and then the truth will be right there.
They get away with the most vicious attacks on Bush and Republicans but criticize them in the least little way and they cry fowl. We are accused of being “mean spirited” but they say whatever outrageous thing they want with total immunity.
Double standard???? Nah
LOL Delos #22, Life’s a B*tch, so don’t vote for one.
Has Monica made her endorsement public yet?
and they wont debate on FOX why? cluck cluck cluck…..
Her stance is wide open john.
#27, Bravo!
Not to be outdone, Obama supporters are telling voters that Hillary and Janet Garrison were separated at birth.
#32, HA!

… she’s waiting for more input from Bill…but she does feel the Clinton’s have real “stain” power..
But if it was a joke, how did Hill & Co. even know about it?… somebody had to have called Indoneeesia, tight?
It was a joke, like the $5000/per baby was a joke.
I can’t wait til January!
It’s ironic that the Clinton campaign is searching through Obama’s grade school papers, yet the Clintons have kept Hillary’s white house documents locked away in the Clinton library. Mr. Obama should have hired his own Sandy Berger to steal his kindergarden papers. Stuffing finger painted pictures in his socks.
WRITE IT DOWN: There will be more fraudulant voting on behalf of democrats in 2008 than the last two presidential elections combined. Hillary Rodham Clinton will have people planted in every polling station. She will have “voters” bussed in that have never voted in their life. Incredibly thousands will be raised from the dead so they can vote. Convicted criminals will make it out to the polls. Hillary – corruption be thy name and socialism be thy religion.
Ren and Stimpy – no too nice.
#38, Sam, we can always take comfort in the vote in Venezuela, where Hugo lost in his bid to become tin-horn dictator of the year. Maybe Billary will also lose out in the end. Of course, if it goes to SCOTUS, and she loses, we’ll never hear the end of it. The evil screams will linger like the Wicked Witch of the West.
I thought one requires a soul to find their reflection in a mirror. I’m just saying…..
You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me.

lol
Oh, in that case, I will vote for her!
JUST KIDDING! (Insert the Hillary Heckle here)
Aha, ahaha, aahahahahahahahahahhha (gasp) ahahahahahahahaha (taking deep breath, face red from lack of oxygen) ahahahahahahahaha, aha, haha, aaaaa (wipes tear from corner of eye)
I always say when in Rome act like a Vandal or Visigoth really turns some heads.
This is just Hillarious it appears the “anointed one” is showing her true self. A petty ambitious hateful shrew obsessed with power, but like a dog chasing a car won’t know what to do with it if she was able to grab it. You just can’t make this stuff up!
If Killary looks in the mirror and it cracks, does that still count for 7 years bad luck?
Houseabout this dirty “trick”–
“Senate Aide Arrested in Sex Sting
By MATTHEW DALY,AP
Posted: 2007-12-04 13:04:17
Filed Under: Crime News, Politics News
WASHINGTON (Dec. 3) – A former aide to Sen. Maria Cantwell is in federal custody after being arrested on a charge of attempting to sexually exploit a minor.
James Michael McHaney was fired Friday from his job as a scheduler for Cantwell, D-Wash., hours after he was arrested by FBI agents. The FBI said in a charging document that McHaney allegedly tried to set up a meeting with an undercover witness posing online as a teenage boy.”
How high up in the Dhimmicratic party does this go? Is Hillary aware of this ? What did she know and when did she know it?
Is the MSM going to pick up this story and send out the siren calls?
This kind of conduct makes me sick.
Too bad Hillary doesn’t understand that a victim can’t be a leader, because their focus is forever on themselves! Oh wait…that worked for her husband…my bad.
So, the Obama kindergarten story was just a joke. They devoted an awful lot of time looking into his grade school years to come up with this ‘joke’. Oh, and jokes are much more enjoyable if they’re funny.
I think the joke is her campaign. She is quite mockable.
Love the cover photo.
Sure, just like the John Kerry “stuck in Iraq” joke, the Dennis Kucinich “UFO” joke, the Eliot Spitzer “illegal alien drivers license” joke.
Those Dems are reknowned commedians. They’ve got a million of them.
But I was told by the MSM that Hillary is the smartest woman in the world.
Now we have proof that the education system needs a major overhaul.
If the Clintons want to complain about lack of ethics on the part of other candidates, how about Hillary Clinton first making the following commitment:
1) My campaign will return all moneys and other contributions from indicted attorney Richard “Dickie” Scruggs and all other members of his law firm and related law firms.
2) My campaign will call upon the Democratic Senate Campaign to return the $25,000.00 contribution from Mr. Scruggs.
3) I will announce publicly that I will not ever issue a presidential pardon for anyone who is under a federal indictment and I will not follow the precedent of President William J. Clinton who pardoned people who were under federal indictment.
Anybody know how you get a fix on what Democrats stand for?
Triangulate?
We would need to poll that.
Let’s talk straight on this:
HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON HAS PUT OUT THE WORD TO TRY TO RECRUIT KGB-INSPIRED SPIES TO DIG DIRT ON HER OPPONENTS.
And that’s who she is. That’s how her mind operates. It’s why Dick morris quit the Clinton Administration; for the same reason and because of the same person – Hillary.
This whole thing reeks of Nazi-brownshirt-style politics. What next? Animated cartoons for pre-teens instructing them to dial 911 and report “happiness abuse” if their parents speak ill of Hillary or vote Republican? That’s the world we’ll get if that maniac is elected.
Moderate Voice has an interesting article..
Bill Clinton Blasts Media for Ignoring His Wife’s
Record. (I think ignoring is correct word. Short term
memory just failed me because my papillon had to
go OUT!)
correction- for not covering instead of ignoring.
Is he going to spend the entire campaign shaking that
finger at everyone?
You never know where it’s been…though if she wins, he’ll celebrate with a cigar…
Heh heh. Good one, AlohaGuy.
Why? Did they run out of ideas of their own?
Ugh. Just the thought. I can’t believe people actually want the Clintons back in office again.
I love one line, especially, in the article at the moderate voice.com. It said that with Bill out there
constantly defending her he keeps reminding people
that if she is elected there he will be, lurking in the
shadows.
Had a fun mental picture of him slinking around the
halls of the White House. Then realized it wasn’t fun
because that would mean she was elected President!
Like Rush said today:
If being First Lady made her uniquely qualified to be President of the United States, then why do people scoff at the idea of Laura Bish being President? Laura was First Lady during war time, was First Lady during a great economy and under far better learning circumstances and definately not during a fiasco like the Healthcare fiasco, so why can’t she do it? What else has Hillary done? She had no other claim to fame before being a Senator. Laura was a librarian and a teacher, meaning she was educates…smart. Hillary was too dumb to know the Bill was schtupping anything that moved and raping those that tried to get away. Laura is married to an honest loyal man. Hillary is married to a lying phillanderer. Laura’s husband got his donations above the board and served in the military. Hillary’s husband got illegal donations from Communist China and dodged the draft.
So why is Hillary so uniquely qualified and Laura isn’t
It just doesn’t make sense, now does it
Besides, RetF, I would bet serious money that if Laura
Bush ran for governor of TX she would be elected.
HRC couldn’t get elected governor of Arkansas, I mean
Arkansas, for goodness sake. What would it take to get to be their governor?
Easy: Stand for everything socialist in Nature and fall for anything.
