Dueling Quotes re: Hillary’s Foreign Policy Experience: After Some Debate, MSNBC’s Tucker Carlson Says Clinton More Prepared than Obama…

by D. Cupples | You could have knocked me out with a feather. In an interview with former State Department official James Rubin MSNBC’s Tucker Carlson broke ranks with MSNBC’s pro-Obama contingent and conceded that Hillary Clinton is a good diplomat….

Wish they would get James Rubin out there more. He’s the best spokesman yet.

Thank you! Reading comments from Obamatrons and the stories in the MSM was beginning to make me think that I had been hallucinating during the 1990′s when Hillary was criticized for being too involved. i remember even some spineless Democrats saying that she needed to take a step back–and that made me admire her even more.

When she is the nominee, I can’t wait for Republicans to use this only “teas and photo ops” argument during the GE. They are going to look like major fools.

It is obsolutely ridiculous that a dairy had to be written on Hillary’s foreign policy creds. I remember when conseratives complained mightly about her involvment in administration policy–now according to Obama Hillary was a “tea and cookie” first lady.
Why has the media outlets cited in this post (or any outlet for that matter) not challenged Obama on his outlandish statements…NEVERMIND!

Excellent post!

Thanks for this post. I am really glad that the media is talking about all of Hillary’s experience (even if they are trying to discredit it most of the time). It gives people who are aware of her experience to talk about it and show facts, like you and Hillary’s camp have done in your post. Obama’s camp is going to regret going after her experience. They are just allowing people to point out the fact that she does have credible experience and Obama doesn’t.

Thank for a very details account of Hillary’s contribution. But as always, Hillary has to work harder than men and get zero recognition. A lot of Obots said she just waved & smiled in Kosavo and attended some meeting in North Ireland.

O now that’s funny – the vid alone is priceless. Tucker admits that, “…of course Hillary has more experience than Obama, he’s been in the Senate, what, 20 minutes?”

Awesome. Simply awesome. I always love seeing Tucker smacked down, and Rubin did a great job.

Alegre, thanks again for the great diary. You have worked so very hard to dispel the misinformation and out right lies about Sen. Clinton. I can’t post at MyDD for whatever reason. I have attempted to e-mail the admins but have not received a response, and I only occasionally step into DKos, so I am very glad I can post here to let you know how much you are appreciated. Thanks.

Ian Paisley (ha ha ha).

Larry, in England your haircut used to be known as a “dodgy barnet”. In more recent parlance I’ve heard such crowns described as “hair crimes”.

Alegre: Once again, you’ve tackle an issue near and dear to our hearts based on your personal experience of fighting for progressive causes for many years. Kudos to you AND Hillary, m’dear. Another excellent diary!

Now I actually cut my teeth blogging back in the mid-90s on an old CNN discussion board about Northern Ireland. I used to know people from both sides of the divide up in the North so I learned a lot from them on a more personal level….
