The Clinton campaign knew of the threatening letter to Pelosi and stands by it: The "letter speaks for itself"

Oh, yes, the letter does speak for itself.

Sam Stein from the Huffington Post reports on yet another Clinton campaign conference call:

 Quote:
Aides to Sen. Hillary Clinton said on Thursday that they knew key fundraisers for her campaign were sending a letter to Nancy Pelosi, castigating the Speaker over her position on superdelegates and threatening, vaguely, to withhold campaign donations.

And while they did not go so far as to say they approved of the letter's content -- "we didn't know what was in it," said spokesman Phil Singer -- they did argue that the "letter speaks for itself."

"There is clearly a broad feeling among many Democrats and many people who are active in the party," said Singer, "that the role of superdelegates is to exercise independent judgment and make a decision that is best for the party and best for the country."


Wow. The Clinton campaign really has gone off the deep end if they think that letter helps them in any way. Outside of the Clinton bubble, the letter has been a disaster. The letter that "speaks for itself" screams "blackmail" and when the term "blackmail" is being used, it's never good.

Party leaders and superdelegates should listen just once to a Clinton campaign conference call. Then, knowing that Clinton cannot win the nomination, they need to ask if we need three more months of that vitriol.

But MEM, you apparently like that old tyme Clinton top down style of campaigning where the fat cats call the shots and the grassroots is "a cult". Well this millions strong cult is throwing out these fake DLC Democrats and taking back our party from these corporatist phonies, $25 dollars a time. Thank you very much.
