Hillary Clinton Pans Bush "Fear Card" Melodrama

Seems the Republicans are afraid of Hillary.

Seems that since she's been through their sulphorous fires a couple of times and has come out intact and even stronger for it that she's a real problem for the attack machine.

That's why they're already going after her. That's why they'll be stoking the boiler on the Terror Train with extra enthusiasm over the next few months.

And now they must be getting a little extra anxious because she's fighting back. In the words of the AP, she's "accusing the Republicans of 'playing the fear card' of terrorism to win elections."

The Replicans have been playing the fear card, waving the bloody shirt, blasting the sirens for three years now. Prior to that they cynically set off the siren on evil sex-crazed liberals, welfare queens, student radicals, fluoride, Commies, immigrants. It's been the politics of fear for the last century.

The AP story mischaracterizes Hillary's statement as an "accusation." A verifiable observation is not an accusation. Yes, there is a vast right wing conspiracy.

So here's to you Hillary, for fighting back, for your dead right "review" of the Bush PR Theater's long-running melodrama.
