The opposition has stooped to a new low: the Hillary Nutcracker



They couldn't debate her on the issues. They couldn't question her on experience. Her whole life has been out in the public for everyone to scrutinize and they were unable to find any dirt. So what have they resorted to?

I was doing some research this morning and came across this website selling Hillary Clinton Nutcrackers. Apparently the most important presidential election in history is something to make a mockery of. Maybe the American people really are that stupid that choosing a candidate based upon their principles is too difficult and smears like this are more easily digested. I sincerely hope not - I am optimistic, but it's things like this that make me seriously doubt the sanity of some of my fellow Americans. This wouldn't be such a big deal if it was just one guy and a silly website, but I have seen this Hillary Nutcracker reported on from numerous sources, and not one has taken the time to condemn these childish acts.

We are in the process right now of getting this product taken off the market. I urge all of you to contact the makers of this despicable smear attempt and let them know how you feel.

Media's Illusionary Roller Coaster Ride of the Hillary Campaign Continues

Last week, when the media was claiming that Hillary Clinton reclaimed her standings during the last debate, we were suspicious. We knew that just a few days earlier, those same members of the media were hinting that Hillary's campaign was in the midst of a disaster. As we stated before, the media likes a drama; they want a rollercoaster ride that takes Hillary on a course which ultimately lands at the bottom. Well folks, apparently the media has decided it has reached the top of this particular hill and is ready to portray the image of a downturn.

I was almost sick to my stomach to read this article from Suntimes.com entitled "Hillary bracing for possible letdown in Iowa". The media is back in full hit-piece mode. They're trying to jerk around the American people so much that they give up on the democratic process and decide not to vote.

Here are some excerpts:

"Is Hillary running scared in Iowa?

"Hillary Clinton must be worried.

"Clinton, whose husband, former President Bill Clinton, did not run in Iowa in 1992, may not have immediately understood the peculiarities of the Iowa caucuses.

"Still, the fact that Hillary Clinton has felt the need to slap her opponents after her previous silence suggests a discomfort about her security as front-runner.


To all of the people that have been e-mailing us (most likely members of the opposition in disguise) and complaining that we're overreacting - some have actually stated that the media is in cahoots with Hillary Clinton - do you really need any further evidence that what we have been saying here at Vote for Hillary Online has been right all along? You just watch, they're going to bring her down just like they did before the last debate. And then, just like clockwork they will appear to build her up again. I don't know about you all, but I'm tired of the American people getting jerked around like a dog on a leash. Remember, at the end of this sadistic rollercoaster ride, we will all be at the bottom - regardless of who you support (better damn well be Hillary though if you're on this site).

The Smear Campaign Continues Against Hillary

We've had a few complaints earlier that we spend too much time focusing on the negatives such as the ongoing smear campaign against Hillary. Folks, we don't do this because we love to be negative - believe me, if the media was on our side, you wouldn't hear one peep of criticism from us. But the fact is, we are the only site that's holding the media accountable and exposing their Hillary attack-fest for what it is. We won't let them get away with this and continue to lie to the American people. That's what this is all about. This isn't just a smear campaign against Hillary. This is a wide-spread mechanism to deceive all of the American voters. If we don't stop it dead in its tracks now, it has the potential to set a disastrous precedent for every presidential race in this great nation's future.

There is something that we have been noticing lately that is a clear attempt to conceal the fact that the opposition is in cahoots with the media. There is an effort underway to make it appear that in fact, the media is in cahoots with Hillary. Anyone who has been paying attention knows this is the farthest thing from the truth, but the opposition is using something we like to call 180-degree logic in order to twist the public's perceptions in hopes that Hillary supporters decide not to vote on election day.

I'm not going to post this garbage so as not to give the opposition any credibility, but the headlines speak for themselves:

CNN's purges its "Protect CliNtoN" debate transcript
CNN Waves White Flag For Hillary
How The Media Crafted Hillary Clinton's Image
Media ‘in lock-step’ with Clinton campaign

We could go on all day, but I'll stop there to prevent inducing vomit.

Folks, since when does the media accurately report on the media? The conflict of interest issue alone is staggering and enough to raise doubt among anyone with half a brain. Not to mention the fact that we know there is clearly a well orchestrated smear campaign against Hillary Clinton.

As to the notion that CNN is soft on Hillary? Well let's take a trip to CNN.com and see what kind of coverage they have going on over there relating to Hillary. Don't worry, we'll do it so you don't have to. We did a search on "Hillary" from their search bar at the top. The most recent headline that comes up? Poll: Clinton's lead shrinks in New Hampshire. Favorite quote of the article:

"One reason for Clinton's shrinking lead may be voter perceptions of her as a candidate."

Hmm I wonder why voters would have a negative perception of Hillary Clinton. I'm sure you had absolutely nothing to do with this CNN.

The Media is in a frenzy because McCain dares not to participate in the smear machine

After yesterday's victory of getting Senator McCain to denounce the character assassinations and call for the return of actually debating the issues, the media is getting in a frenzy because a politician dares not to play by their rules. You would think a call for civility would be a breath of fresh air in this presidential race. You would think that America would rejoice in the fact that there just might be some hope that we can have an honest and respectful debate. Apparently we gave them just a little bit too much credit.

This headline from Time says it all: Is McCain Too Soft on Hillary?

Apparently wanting to get to the real issues instead of the smear tactics is a sign of weakness in the eyes of the media. Actually, they just might realize it's a sign of strength and they're getting worried they may have lost their control over the their ability to keep the presidential race a circus which brings in more ratings. More importantly, the circus environment allows for the smear campaign against Hillary Clinton to continue.

Read these excerpts from the article:

McCain's seeming reluctance to overtly engage in the kind of overwrought attacks on Clinton that have characterized the campaigns of the other front-runners first became apparent in early October.
-
McCain's unwillingness to make the "anyone but Hillary" argument endangers one of the most substantial rationales he makes for his candidacy: the idea that he, alone among the Republicans, can beat Clinton in the general election.


Read this carefully folks. Time magazine is conveying the message the only way to beat Hillary is to engage in "overwrought attacks." I don't know about you guys, but to us that sounds like an admission that the opposition simply cannot beat Hillary on the issues alone. The very fact that Time magazine feels that smear tactics are necessary proves this beyond a reasonable doubt.

Our favorite line from the Time smear piece: "It is temping to applaud McCain's restraint."

This is a very carefully worded sentence here folks. The word tempting has a hidden negative connotation. What Times is essentially saying is that you probably might be lured into believing restraint and a lack of bottom of the barrel tactics is a good thing, but in fact, that is necessary to beat Hillary.

What would you think of a person that said "pay no attention to that man with dignity and respect, we must continue the character assassinations." I would expect that any rational human being would find this notion to be preposterous. The fact that this backwards idea that integrity is weakness and childish behavior is strength confirms our suspicions that we've had all along: The opposition (in cahoots with the media) have no intention of having a mature discussion of the issues. They've determined that character assassination is the only way to win, and anyone that undermines the smear campaign must be also met with character assassination himself.

It's about to get dirty folks. It's about to get really really dirty.

By the way if you haven't already, please make a note to cancel your subscription to Time. Actually, don't waste any time making a note, just do it.

Hillary Campaign finds dirt on Obama, takes the high road



Vote for Hillary Online has learned that the Hillary campaign has been informed of some serious dirt on Barack Obama that could ruin his career. Do they release this information to the media immediately to ensure that Hillary will have absolutely no opposition to contend with and guarantee a victory? Of course, they could do this. And I know a few campaigns out there that would have done just that. But Hillary Clinton has integrity, and that's exactly why many have come to love and support Hillary for the 2008 presidential election.

Right wing columnist Robert Norvak writes:

WASHINGTON -- Agents of Sen. Hillary Clinton are spreading the word in Democratic circles that she has scandalous information about her principal opponent for the party's presidential nomination, Sen. Barack Obama, but has decided not to use it. The nature of the alleged scandal was not disclosed.

This word-of-mouth among democrats makes Obama look vulnerable and Clinton look prudent. It comes during a dip for the front-running Clinton after she refused to take a stand on New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's now discarded plan to give driver's licenses to illegal aliens.

Experienced Democratic political operatives believe Clinton wants to avoid a repetition of 2004, when attacks on each other by presidential candidates Howard Dean and Richard Gephardt were mutually destructive and facilitated John Kerry's nomination.


Now, in a perfect world, everyone would realize that Hillary Clinton is taking the high road here and is doing Barack Obama a favor by not releasing this damaging information. However, as anyone who has been following us here at Vote for Hillary Online knows, they will most certainly try to spin this to make Hillary look like the antagonist.

Was Barack thankful for the fact that the Hillary Clinton campaign decided to keep his dirty secrets in the closet? No. In fact, he actually demands that we release the information!

From mediainfo:

He called on Clinton to release the alleged information -- or renounce the whole thing. He added: “She of all people, having complained so often about ‘the politics of personal destruction,’ should move quickly to either stand by or renounce these tactics.”

Has this man completely lost it? You have the Hillary campaign who runs across some very damaging dirty secrets, they take the high road and keep it a secret out of respect, and then you have Obama throwing a fit, demanding the information be released. Listen, I don't know about you all, but when someone tries to do me a favor and takes the high road when they have the potential to ruin my career, I keep my mouth shut. Vote for Hillary Online opines that this is a very bad move for Obama. Hillary once again shines through as the only candidate with true integrity, while the others only hope they could be half as virtuous.

Diamonds or Pearls

You're not going to believe what people are getting worked up about now. It's simply incomprehensible. Last night during the democratic debate on CNN, a student in the audience asked Hillary Clinton if she preferred diamonds or pearls. Hillary responded that she likes them both equally.

If you're anything like us here at Vote for Hillary Online you're probably wondering, okay..so..where's the story here.

Well the dirty opposition is claiming that CNN forced this student to ask a so-called softball question in order to make Hillary look good. Folks, we watched 10 minutes of this "debate" (a.k.a gang-up-on-Hillary session) and there was nothing about this that made Hillary look good. It was perfectly designed to look objective and honest but we all saw right through that.

Take a look at this article here that covers this "story". As hard as they try to make it look like CNN is in cahoots with Hillary (when we know the opposite is true), they also concede the fact that this question was actually one of the questions the student wrote down. This was not a question made by CNN or the Hillary campaign, and given to a random student to ask. This is someone who wrote down several questions to be asked, just in case one of them had already been covered. Well it turns out one of her questions was over Yucca Mountain, and they had already spent way too much time on this topic already. What is also true is that this was the last question of the debate and they needed a quick one because time was running out. This is the most overblown crap I have ever witnessed in all of covering Hillary's campaign. And the dirty tricks are only going to get worse.

Here's the video everyone is so outraged about:





Actually, we here at Vote for Hillary Online had been curious about whether she prefers pearls or diamonds ourselves so it's by no means a stupid questions.

Here a smear, there a smear, everywhere a smear smear

The vicious attacks lately on the Hillary Campaign have been absolutely ridiculous. To all of our members at Vote for Hillary Online: we cannot respond to all of your emails, but believe me we feel your concern. But here is what's happening: they are trying to divide our efforts. They're trying to get us to fight each other. You know in the movies where there are 2 bad guys going after the good guy, and just about when they have the guy cornered, the bad guys start fighting each other and the good guy ends up getting away? This is what they're trying to make us do, they're trying to split the grassroots forces in an attempt to make us turn on each other so we're not as effective. Guess what? We're too strong for that. We're not taking the bait. Everyone sees these smear tactics for what they are and we are unwavering in our support.

Do not for a second believe that these latest hit pieces are hurting Hillary's image. Most people are smart enough to realize that none of these things even matter anyway. Not leaving a tip? That's news? Is the media going to start camping out at restaurants to see who tips and who doesn't? I mean give me a break. Planting people in the audience to ask questions? Again, NOBODY CARES, GET OVER IT.

You can try all day long mainstream media, but everyone sees your smear tactics for what they are. It is unfathomable to think that this is how you treat the future president of the United States. Unbelievable.
