The Republicans are saying that Hillary is too angry. Is this a head fake? Just this weekend, watching Hillary giving an interview in San Francisco that was broadcast on C-Span, I was thinking that maybe I had misjudged her. She was showing some fire and some passion, especially when she was talking about civil liberties, health care, and global warming. And, I might add, a sense of humor.
Are the Republicans claiming that Hillary is angry to get people like me to react, to get her nominated so they can crush her in 2008. The Bushies have used the anger meme before, of course, to crush the likes of John McCain. If they fear Hillary and don’t want her nominated, they’d better lay off the anger meme. People like me, who constitute the base of the Democratic party want to see some anger, passion, and some humanity.
My problem with Hillary is that my sense has been that she believes in nothing but herself and her own power. I’m hoping I’m wrong.
In any event, keep it up Hill. We need that anger. That anger feeds our energy and enables us to fight another day.
We should start using the word "Hateful" when describing repug actions and people

Gingrich has been saying relatively good things about her since they took some common positions on health-care issues, for example.
The Publicans would trash her from day one on the flip-flop thing. Though they couldn't hit her on flag-burning, I guess.
