: TalkLeftRichardson Criticizes Obama Campaign For McCarthyism Charge Against Bill Clinton
By Big Tent Democrat

Newly minted "huge Obama endorser" Bill Richardson criticized the Obama campaign for its attack on Bill Clinton:
Prominent supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama on Sunday both faulted Obama's campaign for allowing a retired general and backer of the Illinois senator to equate comments by Clinton's husband to McCarthyism.
"I don't believe President Clinton was implying that," said New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, a former presidential candidate who endorsed Obama last week. "But the point here ... is that the campaign has gotten too negative too many personal attacks, too much negativity that is not resounding with the public."
Asked whether Obama's campaign was being too negative in accusing former President Clinton of McCarthyism, Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, a Clinton supporter, said, "Of course ... the Obama campaign tries to have it both ways," he said.
More . . .
I will tell you what is funny - I first saw this line of attack by Obama supporter and NBC Obama pundit Keith Olbermann, on the same program where he interviewed Bill Richardson. The irony is delicious. Richardson praised Olbermann for his Special Comments, particularly the one criticizing Hillary Clinton.
Think Bill Richardson will criticize Keith Olbermann for his negativity? Me neither.
