Kristol: ‘I Recommend The Politics Of Fear’
FOX News Sunday – 24 February 2008
KRISTOL: [Obama’s] riding a wave of euphoria. She [Clinton] needs to puncture it. The way you puncture euphoria is reality, or to be more blunt, fear. I recommend to Senator Clinton the politics of fear.
Clinton Ad Plays National Security Card
Huffington Post – 29 February 2008
“Entering a proud tradition of Democrats trying to scare the beejesus out of voters by implying the rival candidate may be responsible for a nuclear holocaust, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, began airing a new TV ad today,” ABC’s Jake Tapper reports.
Clinton’s 3am ad has been aired and/or discussed by networks and affiliates, usually several times a day, every day since.
Crazy George in one hand, Billary in another. No wonder Kristol is always smiling like a cat who swallowed the canary.
Now one of Clinton’s laws of politics is this: If one candidate’s trying to scare you and the other one’s trying to get you to think, if one candidate’s appealing to your fears and the other one’s appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope.
