Title: Mark Penn = Karl Rove [Politics/Religion] Post by: Fuzzy on August 11, 2008, 03:08:36 PM http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/11/atlantic.clinton.staff/index.html
Quote "All of these articles about his boyhood in Indonesia and his life in Hawaii are geared towards showing his background is diverse, multicultural and putting that in a new light. Save it for 2050," Mark Penn, then Clinton's chief strategist, wrote in a March 2007 memo, according to an article to be published in the September edition of The Atlantic magazine. "It also exposes a very strong weakness for him -- his roots to basic American values and culture are at best limited. I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and in his values," Penn wrote, according to the article by Joshua Green. Isn't this stuff right out of the far right's play book?? And do you think this would have helped Hillary defeat him had she listened to Penn?
