Clark Channels Fringe – Bashes Bachmann With Old Attack On Family
What happens in the Democratic underbelly and leadership mixers is supposed to stay there Sen. Clark.
DFLer Tarryl Clark may have won the sticks and stones of Big Labor, but she has run out of intellectual ammunition when it comes to winning over the hearts and minds of Minnesota’s conservative, family based, 6th District. I’m referring to the notion that Clark, who has been handpicked by Obama and the Washington Democrats, and her statement that Bachmann is not proud of her son for going to work for the volunteer group Americorp. (yes, paid volunteerism is not exactly public service, but let’s set that aside for now)
Hay is attempting to be made, but the point is this is old news that Clark is just regurgitating what she found on the leftwing echo chambers. In other words, the brain trust down at the DNC had already floated this one out there and it went nowhere. Well, when I say nowhere, a few months after the fact, Clark picked up the attack, and put her own personal stench on this fist full of mud.
One would think that Clark and the millions and millions of dollars that are being pledged to defeat Bachmann could come up with something better then a petty attack on Bachmann’s family. But then again, DFLers like Clark troll for their talking points in places that think this was a great zinger. I am sure MSNBC’s Olberdork will have Clark on to see him sternly look in tot he camera so that all 3 viewers…. wait, with Clark on set, it would be 2…..
Clark: Tried and failed, or simply repackaged for future failure.
Let’s turn to the Googley: “bachmann americorps son” to see how this is nothing new and just a great example of how Clark is going to take her orders from radical national leftwingers, not from the people she is looking to represent.
You don’t ascend to the aristocracy of the Minnesota Senate DFL as fast as Clark with out checking your human decency at the door of the Democratic leadership circles aka Democratic underbelly. Clark clearly doesn’t understand that what happens in the Democratic underbelly is supposed to stay in the Democratic underbelly.
Let’s also not forget that the family smearing Clark is a handpicked leader of the Minnesota Democrats. This is not a rogue freshman (well) that did this, this is a handpicked leader who is going nasty and negative on day one of her bid to do SOTH Pelosi’s fringe liberal will.
Clark for COngress? No thanks.
