Hypocrisy of the Week
Friday, December 14, 2007
During an election year, it’s common to see political contenders pulling out all of the rhetorical stops in an attempt to distinguish themselves as the “candidate of choice” for their constituency. Unfortunately, they often test the limits of credulity in the process.
Such is the case for Hillary Clinton, who, in her zeal to discredit Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) on the gun issue for her own presumed political gain, has apparently either abandoned her long-held anti-gun position, or has conveniently developed a case of political amnesia.
The “Other Clinton” recently issued a press release assailing Obama for his past support of “banning all handguns,” citing his position as one reason to “raise serious questions about his electability.” What’s that, Mrs. Clinton? Obama’s anti-gun position should serve as a basis to preclude his candidacy? To the long list of names one might be inclined to call Hillary, we can add another: Hypocrite.
