Hillary implies Obama campaign used gender attack against Sarah Palin | Red Alert Politics

One-time presidential candidate Hillary Clinton refused to go along with an Obama campaign attack against Sarah Palin in 2008 that she saw as gender baiting, according to an except from her new memoir reported Friday.

NBC News’ Kelly O’Donnell said during a morning segment on “The Today Show” that despite reconciling with the Obama camp after the primaries, Clinton didn’t endorse the campaign’s anti-Palin line upon her selection as John McCain’s vice-presidential nominee.

“When Sarah Palin was picked by John McCain, Clinton refused to back up a ‘dismissive statement’ from Obama’s campaign,” O’Donnell reported.

“‘I was not going to attack Palin just for being a woman appealing for support from other women … so I said no,’” Clinton wrote in the book, O’Donnell continued.

“Today” has a few other revelations from the memoir here.

Clinton’s book, “Hard Choices,” is due out June 10.

Hiliaries right yet again. Obama used a sexist attack against Palin.

Funny how nobody in that camp will admit to it. As if only one side is capable of misogyny while the other is incapable of such.

Admit to what? That the eternal-victim right is still fabricating stories of misogynist attacks on Palin?

Reading the link, always a good idea.

That is, Clinton also wanted to use the "women should vote for me because I'm a woman" line, hence she didn't want Obama to point out it was bad logic. But since it's bad logic, Obama should have come out against it.

And yes, if Hillary ever uses that line again, I'll point out it's bad logic.
