[via Buffalo News - Bloggers take Clinton to task over her stand on Iraq War [1]]:
Political observers still say Clinton is the overwhelming favorite for the nomination, thanks to her name recognition and the huge network of fund-raising and grass-roots support she has built on top of the network left behind by her husband, former President Bill Clinton.But you didn't hear much of that conventional wisdom at the Take Back America conference. Instead, you heard criticism of Clinton's recent consensus-seeking comments on abortion and her support of a bill banning flag burning.
"She's alienated a lot of feminist and progressive bloggers," said Liza Sabater, who blogs at Culturekitchen.com.
BTW, there was a bit of a kerfuffle over her appearance. Representatives of CodePink [2] were under the impression they would be able to bring in banners and posters and also interrogate Hillary during a Q&A. Toby Chadhouri, the CAF's Communications Director spinned it as a misunderstanding on the part of CodePink since they had stressed to them they 're goal was to make possible "healthy discussions" of the issues during the conferences.
So members of CodePink booed Hillary but one of Michelle Malkin's indetured servants spinned it as "We've captured and posted the video of Hillary getting booed as she asks progressives to support the troops."
Heh. Fucking liars.
