Kettle Calling Pot Black

Ben Smith at The Politico has a scan of the mailer that Clinton is using against Obama--pointing out that he is a liar about gun control--telling different groups radically different things about his position.

Now, Clinton is correct about this, as I have pointed out before. But this really says something about Clinton's desperation--that she is reminding voters that Obama is a gun banner. What next? Will she send out a mailer accusing Obama of supporting increased taxes?

I suppose if Clinton's point is that Obama isn't honest about this, and she is at least an honest supporter of restrictive gun control, that might be a valid way to spin this. But the target audience for this mailer are those of us who "cling" to our guns and religion because we are so desperately poor. This isn't a mailer going out to the obscenely rich Democrats on the coasts.
