When the bible of the Bush-hating liberal-left, the New York Times, writes that Hillary Clinton has “conservative credentials”, then you know that either (a) you’re drunk or (b) they’re drunk (more likely) or (c) the liberals are trying to appeal to voters by being faux conservatives.
Media Research Center (one of my faves) writes up this “Cyberalert” goodie this morning:
New York Times reporter Anne Kornblut’s Wednesday story on Senator Hillary Clinton’s speech in Chicago (“A Speech on the Economy, for 2006 or 2008?”) helped the Senator and potential presidential candidate by ludicrously awarding her “conservative credentials.” For Kornblut’s story: http://www.nytimes.com
Kornblut, like Times’ reporters before her, sets Clinton on a mainstream path that bears little resemblance to the liberal Senator’s actual voting record (she sports a lifetime record of 9 out of a possible 100 from the American Conservative Union rankings of Senators’ voting records). See: http://www.acuratings.org
Kornblut contended in her April 12 news story: “Mrs. Clinton did not, in her 57-minute speech to the Economic Club of Chicago, assail President Bush by name. Indeed, Mrs. Clinton repeatedly emphasized her conservative credentials and alliances, and she blamed the sharp partisan fighting in Washington for dissuading business leaders from working with government.”
Kornblut claimed Hillary has “conservative credentials,” yet Clinton doesn’t seem to like “rich people” very much, saying this in her speech: “America did not build the greatest economy in the world because we had rich people. Nearly any society has some of those. We built the greatest economy in the world—and most of us are beneficiaries of it—because we built the American middle class. If we don’t send a signal that we are all in this together, the character of America will change.”
