21. Hillary provided the evidence used to criticize her --check the videotape. That is not swiftboating.
Think for a minute what a campaign would be like if the other candidates could not use the words of their opponents against them.

Bill Clinton knows exactly what is and is not 'swiftboating' as that term arose in connection with the Kerry Campaign attacks. This is no where close to engaging in that kind of conduct.

The Edwards Campaign has a very effective ad running which takes clips of Clinton's own words and shows how she gave different answers when questioned at the Debate on the issue at hand.

Does anyone think for a minute that Repubs did not pull down Clinton's various answers and are not waiting to use it during the General Election Campaign?

Sorry but your position on this issue is not supported by the evidence, and Bill Clinton should retract his statement that this amounted to 'swiftboating' of Hillary.
