Reaping the Whirlwind

UPDATE: More hardball from the Hillary camp--Dirt starting to fly on Obama, looking at his backers, Wright and Rezko:

WHEN Hillary Clinton warned that Barack Obama had not been thoroughly “vetted”, as she has been, she was hinting darkly at trouble to come over her rival’s radical pastor and shady patron in Chicago, the Illinois senator’s home town.

The circus continues--Dems eating their own. Women scorned. Yahoo:

Matthews was the focal point for the anger many women felt at how Clinton's candidacy seemed to be written off with lightning speed following a loss in Iowa and foreboding poll numbers in New Hampshire. He is a man and he is ever sure of himself.

He also had a history: The liberal watchdog Media Matters for America counted more than eight negative remarks Matthews made about Clinton for every positive one during September, October and November.

Another study, by the Center for Media and Public Affairs, found that 58 percent of stories on Clinton on the main ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox News Channel newscasts from the beginning of October to mid-December were dominated by negative comments. By contrast, 61 percent of the comments about Barack Obama were positive, and so was 67 percent of the John Edwards coverage.

Watching "ill-disguised hatred and resentment" toward Clinton in the days before New Hampshire made writer Rebecca Traister feel guilty that she hadn't stood up for Clinton before.

"Had I been a New Hampshire voter on Tuesday, I would have pulled a lever for the former first lady with a song in my heart and a bird flipped at MSNBC's Chris Matthews," Traister wrote in Salon.

Now blacks and Obama supporters are crying foul over Clinton remarks. Democrats' identity politics reaping the whirlwind.

UPDATE: Hillary attacks Barack. Again. And she "laughed" again) The Politico:

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” today that the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) was “deliberately distorting” remarks she had made about the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King.

“This is, you know, a, a — an unfortunate story line that the Obama campaign has pushed very successfully,” she said. “They’ve been putting out talking points. They’ve been making this — they’ve been telling people, in a very selective way, what the facts are.”
Oh, Obama's been parsing words. Hillaryous.
