Remember the Clinton chronicles and the list of those who mysteriously died with ties to the Clinton and the bullshit right wing smears to claim Vince Foster was murdered. It was essentially a hit job and a particularly bad one by Clinton enemies stemming from the Arkansas Project.
Now if your candidate had undergone that kind of smear, would you unleash it on another Democrat? Apparently those at Hillaryis44.com think it’s fine….
Imagine if another candidate was referenced in a suicide note. The crowd from Chicago would have demanded a special prosecutor by now.
Obama named in a suicide note:
On the day he disappeared, Norman Hsu, the disgraced fundraiser for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign, sent letters to friends that recipients viewed as a suicide note, people familiar with the letter have said.
In his letter, Hsu apologized for any embarrassment he had caused recipients of his largesse. In the last four years, he has generated donations of more than $1 million for Democratic politicians across the country.
Hsu’s undoing began two weeks ago with articles raising questions about his fundraising activities in the Wall Street Journal and about a criminal case in his past in The Times. In his letter, said a person familiar with its contents who asked to remain anonymous, Hsu contended that those articles were planted “by a politician who pledged ‘hope and change’ ” — an apparent reference to Sen. Barack Obama, Clinton’s main rival for the Democratic presidential nomination.
“This is a sad and baseless allegation,” Obama spokesman Bill Burton said. “We had no knowledge of his past criminal behavior, fugitive status or a potential straw-donor scheme until reading it in the newspaper.”
Notice how the L.A. Times calls Hsu a “disgraced fundraiser for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign” downplaying Hsu’s ties to Obama – even as it appears Obama is the one apparently named in the suicide note. Hsu was not called a fundraiser for the Innocence Project, even though he was a fundraiser for them and sent them the suicide note. No Hsu is tied instead to Hillary Clinton.
The rambling bizarre mention of the Innocence Project is the hardest to understand. The Innocence Project is a stellar organization that includes people on its board like John Grisham and Janet Reno.
So by this standard if Tony Rezko was to attempt suicide, if he mentioned the Clintons, they’d be mysteriously implicated?
Talk about your freak shows. I haven’t seen anything this bizarre outside of Free Republic.
Want bizarre? Try Richard Cohen’s column in today’s Washington Post. Mark Penn has been busy.
