Politics of Personal Destruction and Division
Filed Under Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Democratic Party, Election 2008, Hillary Clinton, politics of personal destruction
New York Times columnist Bob Herbert asks if the masters of the politics of personal destruction and division – Bill and Hillary Clinton — are capable of doing anything other than being destructive to the Democratic party as they gleefully attack Barack Obama directly and through proxies.
Still, it’s legitimate to ask, given the destructive developments of the last few weeks, whether the Clintons are capable of being anything but divisive. The electorate seems more polarized now than it was just a few weeks ago, and the Clintons have seemed positively gleeful in that atmosphere.
It makes one wonder whether they have any understanding or regard for the corrosive long-term effects — on their party and the nation — of pitting people bitterly and unnecessarily against one another.
