Hillary Clinton has accused Barack Obama of issuing campaign literature that she says is blatantly false. Clinton went so far as to compare Obama to Karl Rove. An angry Hillary said, "Enough with the speeches and the big rallies and then using tactics right out of Karl Rove's playbook. This is wrong, and every Democrat should be outraged."
Clinton feels that Obama knows that his campaign is touting lies about her health plan. "Sen. Obama knows it is not true that my plan forces people to buy insurance even if they can't afford it," she said. Hillary challenged Barack to meet her in Ohio in order to have a debate about Obama's tactics and behavior in the campaign.
Obama's camp responded via Bill Burton, Obama's spokesman, validating the information in the mailers. "Everything in those mailers is completely accurate, unlike the discredited attacks from Hillary Clinton's negative campaign that have been rejected in South Carolina, Wisconsin, and across America...and the facts are that Sen. Clinton was a supporter of NAFTA and the China permanent trade treaties until this campaign began. And she herself has said that under the Clinton health care plan, she would consider 'going after the wages' of Americans who don't purchase health insurance, whether they can afford it or not."
It's getting hot in here!
