Daily Kos reports “Widespread Cheating” by Clinton Campaign

Having cut their teeth on the irregularities of both the 2000 and 2004 elections, activist members of the Grass-Roots democratic blog, Daily Kos, have been uninhibeted and unrelenting in their attacks on Senator Clinton.

On the heels of yesterday’s “upset” in Nevada, reports have been gathering about the evil Hillary Clinton – clearly the new Karl Rove – but in a dress.

Here’s a sample:

 

 

A man in a wheelchair came in with his daughter, and said he was an Edwards supporter. When his daughter began to wheel him to the middle of the room, the Hillary operative tapped her on the shoulder, took the wheelchair and took him to the Clinton corner. I rushed over from talking to an undecided voter and objected loudly, but his daughter was a Hillary person. The Clinton operative said, “I don’t control what he does; she does.” At that point I said to the man, “Nobody controls you. If you want to vote for Edwards, you have every right to go to the center of the room. Do you need help?” He looked at me plaintively, but said nothing as his daughter dragged him farther back into the corner and just shook his head.
The Clinton operative herself had a Brooklyn accent and I overheard her mention having been from New York. When she stood to be counted in the middle of the room, I objected and asked her if she was actually from Nevada. She said yes. I talked to the chair and asked him to ask her name and find her on the list. He asked her her name and checked the list, and she was not on it. At this point the chair said, “well, I can’t ask for ID.” I said, “She can’t participate if no one will vouch for her.” At this point a Hispanic man wearing a Hillary shirt said she was his wife. While that’s not impossible, it was also improbable–but I had no way to verify or object further.

Those Clinton people are MONSTERS!!! . Sheesh

Actually, it sounds like a caucus to me where historically supporters have always used hard sell tactics to push their candidates. (Maybe if Obama or Edwards gave out free toasters?)

Ironically, of course, a Hillary excoriated by the left wing of her own party can’t quite be the “radical socialist” Hillary of legend.

Compare these two images, one from the right

and one from the left.

Something both extremes agree on?

Every brick bat only makes Hillary more and more of a moderate centrist in the public’s mind and that, I imagine, is precisely where the Junior Senator from New York would like to be.
