Reply #12: Attacking? Edwards launched a tactical nuclear weapon against her. [View All]

And the ABC moderator opened the debate by specifically challenging her to attack Obama. That wasn't even a debate question for all the candidates. He literally forced Clinton's first comments to be negative ones directed at Obama's record, asking her to be specific about what in Obama's political record she thought voters should ponder for inconsistencies.

Edwards jumped in against Clinton like a tag team wrestler. Any other Democrat who doesn't go ballistic when accused as Hillary was by Edwards of being in collusion with special interest forces who seek to lock in a status quo that harms the interests of working Americans would be hounded endlessly on DU for having no spine or worse; of actually being guilty as charged because they did NOT get furious over such a smear. When it is a Democrat defending themselves against a FOX news jock like that we cheer. When it is Hillary Clinton, who has devoted her entire adult life to the Democratic Party including organizing for George McGovern and staffing impeachment proceedings against Nixon, who gets outraged at the implications of that smeer then suddenly it is "a melt down". It seems men never melt down, they bitch slap their accusers. Women are the ones who "melt down", right?
