A message to the Clinton campaign surrogates on red baiting.

1. And the film by George Clooney.

Where the incredible David Strathairn so completely channels Edward R. Murrow that one thinks one is watching the real thing. Why Strathairn has never received the accolades he has so richly deserved baffles me.

It is a great flick: Good Night and Good Luck

on edit: Damn! Strathairn's name is difficult to spell correctly.

3. Yes, I have the movie on DVD. Excellent job.

2. Didn't create this situation of fear but merely EXPLOITED it.

....we will do our best to make sure Hillary Rodham Clinton and her surrogates are UNSUCCESSFUL in spreading misinformation. We will be countering her lies and fear mongering bullshit with truth and facts.

You can bet on that.

8. Went through this red baiting in the 50's

It was ugly, destructive and, oh yeah, un-American.

9. Edward R. Murrow was the focus of my first...

...hero worship at age 10.

11. Is this their move, really?

Disgusting and shows me exactly what Clinton supporters are really about.... Sucks to be so desperate but her using this tactic now will make it OK for the right to use it when Bernie is in the GE..... and what will her supporters say then?????? They need to speak out loud and NOW against this crap...

12. If Clinton is willing to destroy an already divided party this is how it done...

Associating FDR populist liberal Democrats who are the lifeblood of the party with Stalinist Communism is a knife in the back.
To be expected from the Republicans but not from within the Democratic party....

The neoliberal Democratic party brass might think they can continually manipulate the left into supporting an oligarchy by presenting us with moderate Republican candidates to go up against RW social economic extremists and they've become this desperate they need to step out of the bubble...

13. Anyone one remember Hillary Care from over 20 years ago?

$15,000 fine plus prison time if you don't have for-profit insurance.

$5,000 fine if you don't pay your insurance premium on time.

She was far to the right of Romney Care. This lead to the Democrats losing leadership in both houses of Congress for 12 years.
