Hillary Clinton vs. Moveon.org

This time, it’s Hillary Clinton who finds herself trying to explain comments that were caught on tape at a fundraiser. Celeste Fremon of the Huffington Post reports:

At a small closed-door fundraiser after Super Tuesday, Sen. Hillary Clinton blamed what she called the “activist base” of the Democratic Party — and MoveOn.org in particular — for many of her electoral defeats, saying activists had “flooded” state caucuses and “intimidated” her supporters, according to an audio recording of the event obtained by The Huffington Post.

The irony, of course, is that Moveon.org is an organization that was formed in defense of Bill Clinton–specifically, to push back against his impeachment. And don’t miss this moment, brought to us by the Jed Report, in which Bill Clinton showers praise on the organization as an avatar of the post-MSM future.

Mitt’s father lost his own presidential bid, but it was the lessons from his mother’s loss that are more instructive as Romney enters the campaign stretch.
