Barack Obama's campaign has accused President Bill Clinton of employing tactics similar to those used by Senator Joseph McCarthy (R-WI), during his communist witch hunts in the 1940s and 1950s.
But why?
President Clinton made a statement that the Obama campaign was working its way out of talking about other important issues, which include race and patriotism, besides just the economy and war in Iraq. At any rate, it wasn't Bill or Hillary Clinton who said they had lived their whole lives without being proud of the United States until now. (That was Michelle Obama. I guess she didn't get anything from being an American citizen until her husband decided three years in the United States Senate qualified him to be president.)
Retired General Tony McPeak, who is an Obama supporter, accused President Clinton of McCarthyism because of this statement: "I think it would be a great thing if we had an election year where you had two people who loved this country and were devoted to the interest of this country. And people could actually ask themselves who is right on these issues, instead of all this other stuff that always seems to intrude itself on our politics."
The new politics of hope is rapidly rusting and falling to the wayside. You better hurry up Obama. The clock is ticking.
Tick-tock!
