This one’s really tough to take on an empty stomach. So, you might want to eat something before proceeding.
In case you were concerned that the American public wasn’t being bombarded enough by grotesquely gooey gushings over Hillary Clinton by a fawning press corps, the Democrat presidential candidate has created a new website to assure her almost as much exposure as Paris Hilton.
Almost.
As reported by Politico (emphasis added throughout):
HillaryHub isn't a typical campaign site. With a simple, three-column look, occasionally edgy headlines and links to a blend of videos, reports from newspapers and blogs and campaign memos, it's a news aggregator on the model of the Drudge Report. The difference, of course, is that the stories are chosen to depict Clinton favorably and to tweak her critics.
Depict Clinton favorably? Did you think they'd share articles questioning the junior senator from New York’s sincerity and policy positions?
As a fine example of how the propaganda at this site works, the June 14 headline read “Hillary Climbing in New Polls” with links to the most recent Wall Street Journal/NBC poll, as well as the American Research Group’s and Quinnipiac’s.
Yet, the site conveniently ignored some recent polls showing her lead over Barack Obama sinking, most notably the USA Today/Gallup poll putting Obama actually ahead by one point.
Gotta love it.
Also of note is her "On the Blogs" section. This gives Hillary a marvelous opportunity to disseminate grotesquely gooey gushings from her fans in the blogosphere.
Isn't that special?
Of course, the delicious irony here is how the Drudge Report is certainly seen by the Clintons as being a leader in the vast rightwing conspiracy given its having been the first to report on Monica Lewinsky.
As such, this appears to be another instance of the Clintons co-opting Republican strategies to further their lust for power.
And you thought that ended when they moved to Chappaqua.

June 14, 2007 - 11:43 ET by Phan of TruthI've told those close to me that I would rather spend ten years in jail than vote for Hillary Clinton. If she wins in 2008, if I don't vote for her in 2012, I just might.
But I want to know who she is
June 14, 2007 - 11:45 ET by ThisnThatBut I want to know who she is trying to be? Looking at the various links you cited, and even following some of the links within her new site, they portray her as any of the following (this includes the polls):
This all comes from the so-called materials linked to by this woman's supporters. So, what gives? It seems to me that she is still searching for the name that increases her popularity, and hasn't found it yet. Why is that important to her? Could it be she is so vacuous, that she herself hasn't done anything to warrant her position as a presidential candidate, that the name selection is absolutely key? Dunno, but I suspect so.

June 14, 2007 - 11:55 ET by Phan of TruthI don't think she cares as much about that as she cares about giant pictures of her in public squares and hanging in people's homes.

Well, not yet, anyway.

Anyone who believes the delusional crap on that site is a total idiot and should move to Mexico or somehow get out of this country.

June 14, 2007 - 14:05 ET by waka wakaWhile I am no fan of Hillary, as she is the only chance any of the GOP clowns has of winning in 2008, the idea that it's somehow disingenous of her to only post positive stories about herself on her OWN Web site is ridiculous. What kind of idiot would do that?
Is Romney linking to stories about all of his flip flops? Is Giuliani linking to footage of himself in drag? Is McCain linking to pics of his Baghdad market trip?
I mean, come on, people. Think before you post.

Can you really defend your motley collection of candidates?
June 14, 2007 - 15:13 ET by RJUnlike liberals, howler, conservatives openly discuss their concerns about each candidate. You think you're providing sharp jabs when all you're doing is participating in what we're already doing.
But no matter how we take our guys apart, the motley liberal group of Presidental candidates make our guys look pretty good. Can you really defend your collection of pretty boys, neophytes, and socialists? With a straight face? ha ha ha

You have, once again, demonstrated the atrocious reading comprehension skills of so many of your ilk. After all, nowhere in this article was it suggested that Hillary SHOULD link negative articles about her. Instead -- and please pay attention if that is at all possible -- it pointed out how absurd it would be for her to (emphasis added to attempt to alleviate your confusion assuming that's at all possible):
