Interesting rundown/fact check on some of the Clinton campaign's attacks, also points out how hawkish some of her early positions were, and the contortions she goes through to deny that. From Bloomberg:
In recent debates and in an appearance on NBC television's ``Meet the Press,'' she has flagrantly misrepresented her own and her opponents' positions or statements...Hyperbole is a staple of American political campaigns. Senator Hillary Clinton has crossed the line into distortion....Although every candidate makes misstatements, the various fact-check organizations and detached analysts usually find the Clinton campaign in a league of its own. It's not the depths of the duplicity; compared to other abuses, like the Swift Boat attack lies against John Kerry in 2004, these are benign. The problem is there is a pervasive pattern at a time when voters are clamoring for authenticity.
Check it!
