First Joe, Now Hillary

First the Left came for Joe, and few people took notice. Now they're coming for Hillary, and people are starting to realize that the hard Left of the Democratic party is trying to do its best to ruin the party.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is now facing an all but certain Democratic primary from a poorly funded anti-war candidate who yesterday blamed her for the death of thousands of American soldiers and Iraqis.

“More than 2,500 American men and women will never come home to their families ever again because of Hillary Clinton’s vote for this illegal and immoral war,” said Jonathan Tasini, the former president of the National Writers Union, as he filed the required signatures to secure a place on the September ballot.

Tasini, of New York City, said Clinton “voted with this administration to send our young men and women to war.” Clinton adviser Howard Wolfson dismissed the comments, saying, “That kind of rhetoric speaks for itself.”

Tasini submitted petitions to the state Board of Elections that he says contain about 40,000 signatures, far more than the 15,000 he needed.

His comments are much like those of Ned Lamont who is challenging Joe Lieberman in Connecticut.

In an interesting subplot, Hillary has said that she would not support Lieberman if he runs on the independent line should Joe lose the Democrat primary to Lamont.
