A bitter response to ‘party activists’ questions
Hillary demands Barack Obama must explain every moment of his life and every word he has spoken, but Team Clinton refuses to explain why Clinton slammed millions of Democratic Party activists and caucus voters? (h/t kos)
There was a significant dose of stonewalling on Monday’s conference call with aides to Sen. Hillary Clinton.
Asked to explain what areas of disagreement the senator had with the Democratic activist group Moveon.org — which Clinton said she had clashed with — Howard Wolfson, the senator’s chief spokesperson, declined to even broach the question.
"I appreciate your effort to extend your exclusive story but we’ve said all we are going to say about that, and I say that as a proud member as Moveon.org," he told The Huffington Post.
But when it comes to answering questions about Clinton’s comments, they haven’t really said anything at all. Indeed, when asked about the story on Sunday, the campaign’s new top strategist, Geoff Garin declined to specify areas of disagreement between the group and the senator. And when pressed to discuss when, as Clinton claimed, MoveOn had "flooded" caucuses and "intimidated" voters into supporting Obama, he cited his short time with the campaign in sidestepping the query.
Just five days ago in the ABC Democratic debate Senator Clinton said everything should be explored.
You know, these are problems, and they raise questions in people’s minds.
And so this is a legitimate area, as everything is when we run for office, for people to be exploring and trying to find answers.
