ABC would like you to think so:In six years as a member of the Wal-Mart board of directors, between 1986 and 1992, Hillary Clinton remained silent as the world's largest retailer waged a major campaign against labor unions seeking to represent store workers.
An ABC News analysis of the videotapes of at least four stockholder meetings where Clinton appeared shows she never once rose to defend the role of American labor unions.
The tapes, broadcast this morning on "Good Morning America," were provided to ABC News from the archives of Flagler Productions, a Lenexa, Kan., company hired by Wal-Mart to record its meetings and events.
A former board member told ABCNews.com that he had no recollection of Clinton defending unions during more than 20 board meetings held in private.
Could it be that Big Media is turning on Clinton, Inc? Are they as tired of the Clintons as America really is? Or is this just the latest in attempts to soften her, where she can play the victim? The Clintons are so twisted and so crooked who knows the truth?
While we're on the subject of videotape gotcha! evidence, let me give some equal time to this Washington Times hitpiece on Obama:
Last fall during a nationally televised presidential debate, Sen. Barack Obama hesitantly raised his hand and joined with most of his Democratic rivals to declare that he opposed decriminalizing marijuana.
But as a candidate for the U.S. Senate four years ago, Mr. Obama told Illinois college students that he supported eliminating criminal penalties for marijuana use or possession, according to a videotape of a little noticed debate that was obtained by The Washington Times.
"I think we need to rethink and decriminalize our marijuana laws," Mr. Obama told an audience during a debate at Northwestern University in 2004. "But I'm not somebody who believes in legalization of marijuana
So, the Clintons are going to tell scared Democrat parents that Obama is a druglord who wants to hook their children...in fact, I can almost hear James Carville in that annoying drawl of his saying it now....
So, what's up with the media? Well, they are scared...They all thought HillRod was the presumptive nominee, but then we have the momentum of Obama's big win in SC, along with his continued national popularity. So, the media is choosing up sides as to who is more radical, and who to get behind. I pity the losers, because they might not get any access at all....
