Cupples at No Quarter) In March, I objected to a fund-raising email (signed by Barack Obama), which claimed that Hillary Clinton was attacking Obama’s supporters.  The implication: she’s coming after you, personally, the way Darth Vader went after Luke.  Fostering a bellicose, with-us-or-against-us mentality worked for President Bush after 9/11, and Obama’s use of that tactic is as factually questionable as it is divisive. Yesterday, I found another Obama campaign email (signed by David Plouffe), a double whammy that includes: 1) a similar line about Hillary’s so-called “attacks” on Obama’s supporters; and 2) the oft-repeated — and highly hypocritical — message that Hillary and McCain have taken special-interest money, while Obama hasn’t. As MakeThemAccountable readers know, Obama does take donations from friends and family of special interests. [...] [...] Signs of Bush Tactics & Hypocrisy in Another Obama Campaign Email (by D.

Obama Responds (Sort Of) to “Bitter” Controversy

…”As we’ve seen across the state, Pennsylvanians are rejecting the say-and-do anything tactics they’ve seen from the Clinton campaign over the last few days,” said Obama spokesman Hari Sevugan. “They want leadership that gets past the politics of division and distraction, and focuses on solutions to the challenges our families face, and that’s what this ad and Barack Obama’s campaign speak to.”

The footage that opens the Obama commercial is taken from Clinton’s appearance at an Alliance for American Manufacturing forum in Pittsburgh. Clinton’s remark (“I know that many of you, like me, were disappointed by remarks he made”) was greeted with some catcalls and booing — a sign, the Obama ad argues, that average voters think Clinton is playing politics and are sick of it.
