Apparently Hillary Clinton hasn't always been enamored with the rambunctious nature of the historic fight for the Democratic presidential nomination. Speaking to financial backers after Super Tuesday, she blamed the party's activists and MoveOn.org for her early primary and caucus defeats, according to an item over at The Huffington Post.
"MoveOn.org endorsed [Barack Obama] -- which is like a gusher of money that never seems to slow down," the item quotes Clinton as saying (there's audio on the site).
Her campaign, she continues, had been less successful in caucuses because those gatherings bring out "the activist base of the Democratic Party... [T]hey are very driven by their view of our positions, and it's primarily national security and foreign policy that drives them. I don't agree with them. They know I don't agree with them. So they flood into these caucuses and dominate them and really intimidate people who actually show up to support me."

Pariser took particular umbrage to Clinton, in the comments to her donors, saying, "MoveOn didn't even want us to go into Afghanistan. I mean, that's what we're dealing with."
Pariser said: "...MoveOn never opposed the war in Afghanistan..."

The new post concerning Clinton does not identify where she uttered her words; Huffington Post editors tell us that information was withheld to protect the source who provided the audio to "citizen-journalist" Celeste Fremon.
The event, we've been told, "was a small affair held between Super Tuesday and the Ohio/Texas primaries in a major American city."
There's irony in Clinton trashing MoveOn -- the group was formed, and its name conceived, in an effort to persuade the country that too much time and energy was being devoted to impeach and drive Bill Clinton from office because of the Monica Lewinsky affair.

“Huffington Post editors ...”
Aren’t those the two twelve year olds that also publish their Junior High School newspaper? ;)
FWIW, I want Hillary’s! defeat to be public, painful and complete. Can’t stand her, loathe him!
LOL, Hillary could get a new handbag, shoes and belt out of all those wet crocs.
LOL, but nit - she would be breaking the law!!! Horrors.
I see a HuffPo DUFU on the horizon for you, PJ. It may need to develop a bit.
“There’s irony in Clinton trashing MoveOn -”
Didn’t Mrs Clinton take credit for founding or starting MoveOn?
She looks like there is going to be another ashtray’s away event.
There is no doubt in my mind the if Hillary does not get the nomination, she will brutally savage and destroy B. Hussein from the sidelines. Then when he looses in November she will go to the DNC and say....”Don’t mess with me next time.” The Clintons are not gracious loosers.

Good, a laugh is good for the body!!
Some bods are good for a laugh too!

“We have a Red Light Special on Aisle #7 - Hillary pantsuits on sale with a small side pocket for Obama!”
Does sound like a - red light special!!
Lol
Huffington Post endorsed and is in the tank big time for Obama. They first published Obama's "bitter" speech - written by one of Obama's supporters there. Huffingon has expressed her deep regret on that one, didn't see it coming.
This is their attempt to fire in the right direction to make it up to The OBamboozler.
LOL!
good work there. :)
