It's Gonna Get Ugly For Barack and Hillary

You really should contact Newsweek and straighten them out. They're obviously in need of a bit of hand-slapping.

WASHINGTON - As first lady, Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled to Bosnia in March 1996 with her daughter and several celebrities to boost troop morale and thank soldiers stationed there.

Clinton cites the goodwill trip as a part of her foreign policy experience, describing a dangerous landing where she was ordered to the armored front of the plane because of possible ground fire. She also now reports landing under sniper fire and contradicts her previous written account of a shortened welcoming ceremony at the airport.

But according to accounts at the time, she was placed under no extraordinary risks on that trip. And one of her companions on it said he has no recollection either of the threat or reality of gunfire.

The truth is that the Dems are a diverse coalition with a large umbrella. A coalition whose diversiity leads to a lot of in fighting. The Republican Party is a party of rich, white people and not-so rich white people who embrace the snob appeal of the Republican Party and walk together blindly in lock step.

Dangerous Situation Developing for Democrats in Denver

Denver could face a "dangerous situation" on the eve of the Democratic National Convention, war protesters said Thursday, after losing a coveted permit for Civic Center to the convention host committee.

"When things blow up because the police have to enforce a permit that the Democrats got, don't blame us for that," said Glenn Spagnuolo, an organizer for the Re-create 68 Alliance.

"Blame the Democrats for trying to silence dissent in the city of Denver."

The lottery for permits to protest, pray or hold other events in city parks during the DNC Aug. 24 through 28 resumed Thursday after the city bungled the drawing Tuesday by accidentally leaving out some of the applicants' names.

But when Jenny Anderson, event planner for the Denver 2008 Convention Host Committee, won the permit for Civic Center for a kick-off Aug. 24, Spagnuolo accused the committee of creating a "very serious, dangerous situation . . . for everybody."

Re-create 68 - which has promised demonstrations that will rival those at the bloody 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago - will be at Civic Center on Aug. 24, with or without a permit, he said.

The group, which is expecting up to 50,000 protesters from across the country, plans to march from Civic Center to the Pepsi Center, where the convention will be held, on Aug. 24, even though a parade route or a security zone hasn't been announced.

Some people observing the lottery attributed it to karma.

I like twizzlers, but will surely enjoy the show.

I can't believe I didn't think about a ruckus outside of the convention hall, but, of course, it is to be expected.

"Re-Create 68."

How perfect!

This is The Left in action.

If we're lucky these "radicals" will get so jacked up preparing for the event that even if the Obama/Clinton war is resolved before the convention, they will still feel compelled to cause mayhem.

And this was the year when the Democrats couldn't lose.

Funny how our host on thread, Snood, has disappeared - especially since his title turns out to be so, SO, eerily prophetic!

Maybe because he was hoping to blame Republicans for any Hillary / Obama problems and that didn't pan out? Nah, perish the thought <G>

Well, darlin', no prophesy I've bumped into in this lifetime was more certain to achieve rich fullfillment.

It is the nature of the modern conservative movement (and the modern Republican Party) that they will smear and slime their way to power via a propaganda arm that would have been the envy of Mao or Lenin.

After weeks of arduous negotiations, on April 6, 2006, a bipartisan group of senators burst out of the "President's Room," just off the Senate chamber, with a deal on new immigration policy.

As the half-dozen senators -- including John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) -- headed to announce their plan, they met Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), who made a request common when Capitol Hill news conferences are in the offing: "Hey, guys, can I come along?" And when Obama went before the microphones, he was generous with his list of senators to congratulate -- a list that included himself.

To Senate staff members, who had been arriving for 7 a.m. negotiating sessions for weeks, it was a galling moment. Those morning sessions had attracted just three to four senators a side, Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) recalled, each deeply involved in the issue. Obama was not one of them. But in a presidential contest involving three sitting senators, embellishment of legislative records may be an inevitability, Specter said with a shrug.

Clinton also has her share of colleagues only too willing scrutinize her claims. Her campaign Web site describes Clinton's "successful effort to create" the popular State Children's Health Insurance Program during her husband's tenure in the White House, and she has placed herself in the middle of major international events, including the Northern Ireland peace process and the Balkan conflict.

But prominent Democratic senators, Irish historians and even Sinbad the comedian, who accompanied Clinton to Kosovo, are challenging some of her assertions.

During months of SCHIP negotiations in 1997, her name rarely surfaced in news accounts. Clinton never testified before Congress or held a news conference on the bill. When Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (Utah), the lead GOP negotiator of the children's health bill, heard reports that Clinton was depicting herself as SCHIP's main advocate, "I had to blink a few times," he said. Hatch said he doesn't recall a single conversation with Clinton about SCHIP, even a mention of her name. "If she was involved, I didn't know about it," he said.

Thanks for the appearance, Snood. If you'd only address your own question about Hillary / Obama problems you anticipated to be caused by Republicans - and not by each other.......

I didn't anticipate the tone becoming as intense as it has between Hillary and Obama, but do you suppose for a moment that changes by one whit that the GOP will unleash all that and more, in the general election?
