But from the lips of Mr. Harper's number one apparatchik, the origin of this whole tale, the Globe and Mail, arguably Canada's number one newspaper, quotes Ian Brodie thus: "That started, according to people familiar with the events, when Mr. Brodie made a remark to CTV reporters at the media lockup for the Feb. 26 budget. The [b]Democratic contenders[/b], he said, were not serious about renegotiating NAFTA, and Ms. Clinton's campaign even contacted Canadian diplomats to say so. "CTV's Washington bureau chief, Tom Clark, reported the next day that it was Mr. Obama's campaign that spoke to Canadian diplomats about NAFTA, indicating the call to renegotiate was more politics than policy - but suggested Ms. Clinton's campaign made "indirect" contacts to reassure Canada. "The subsequent leak of a memo, written by a Canadian diplomat and summarizing a conversation between Mr. Obama's economic adviser, Austan Goolsbee, and Canada's consul-general in Chicago, Georges Rioux, described Mr. Goolsbee as saying that campaign statements "should be viewed as more about political positioning than a clear articulation of policy plans." http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/ LAC.20080308.NAFTA08/ TPStory/National - cook Mon, 10 Mar 2008 03:46:50 +0100 http://www.pacificfreepress.com/news/1/2362-nafta-gaff-revisited-the-audacity-of-hillary-clinton.html#comment-1801 This 'news' article from an unnamed source is completely without merit. The aid it was attributed to says he doesn’t remember saying it and the Canadian government flatly denies it ever happened (the supposed Hillary call): http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-na-nafta8mar08,1,295847.story Once more Obama denied that his staff talked with the Canadian government, and then said he didn’t know at the time, and then said NAFTA wasn’t discussed. So changing your story as more evidence comes to light is the ‘new’ politics? - Marty in Mpls Mon, 10 Mar 2008 00:34:01 +0100 http://www.pacificfreepress.com/news/1/2362-nafta-gaff-revisited-the-audacity-of-hillary-clinton.html#comment-1796 As someone from Canada, I'd like to say that what Harper and his chief of staff did was shameful! This was the same Stephen Harper that cried foul when Michael Moore warned Canada not to elect the Conservatives in 2004. Harper's is a hypocritical scumbag. I bet he did it to help out his friends in the Republican Party and John McCain. - Neil Sat, 08 Mar 2008 02:58:03 +0100 http://www.pacificfreepress.com/news/1/2362-nafta-gaff-revisited-the-audacity-of-hillary-clinton.html#comment-1795 Hillary makes me sick. I didn't always feel this way. It has happened over the last few months of her filthy swamp of a campaign. If she gets the nomination, I could never vote for her. I can barely stand to even look at her. We have a candidate in Obama who uplifts us, who gives us hope, who inspires us to work with and for our government. We haven't had this in decades. This could change our country. And that lying, conniving, power mad, disgusting Hillary would take that away because she thinks it's her turn and she's got it coming to her, who are the voters to stand in the way. If she has to lie, cheat, steal, whatever, she'll do it. Shame on America if you're duped by this. You'll get what you deserve, just like you did these past seven years. Have you learned nothing? - RoseA Sat, 08 Mar 2008 02:17:14 +0100 http://www.pacificfreepress.com/news/1/2362-nafta-gaff-revisited-the-audacity-of-hillary-clinton.html#comment-1793 SHe is a monster. If this doesn't show her true colors, what does? Hillary supporters, can you honestly defend her in sattacking obama for a chanrge he was innocent of that she knew she herelf was guilty of? SHe used it to win ohio! THey hate nafta there. DO we want a bald faced calculating liar in the white house? We have had one for 8 years. it's not working out. - jeff Fri, 07 Mar 2008 19:15:52 +0100 http://www.pacificfreepress.com/news/1/2362-nafta-gaff-revisited-the-audacity-of-hillary-clinton.html#comment-1791 This story has legs. It will turn viral on Youtube before MSM picks it up. CNN is aware of the story but they dont want to hurt their candidate. Obama needs to hold a press conference but i imagine they are getting all the facts together first and strategizing. Hillary just lost PA. This election will end on April 22nd. Obama will be our next President. Praise God. - wa yne Fri, 07 Mar 2008 09:25:08 +0100 http://www.pacificfreepress.com/news/1/2362-nafta-gaff-revisited-the-audacity-of-hillary-clinton.html#comment-1790 The NAFTA issue did affect it, and she flat out lied. The Democratic party in Canada have been defending Obama, asking for the Prime Minister who is conservative to fire the person who spread the rumors. Don't you people know that the Clinton and Bush's are friends?? Come on! - Lani Fri, 07 Mar 2008 09:07:25 +0100 http://www.pacificfreepress.com/news/1/2362-nafta-gaff-revisited-the-audacity-of-hillary-clinton.html#comment-1789 The question becomes: will this story become the big story on MSM that that the misinformed story on Senator Obama did before Ohio? It MUST! These Rovian tactics - blame the other for what you are, in fact, doing - need not be part of our political future, and need not be part of our next Presidential Administration. PLEASE EXPOSE THIS SITUATION FOR WHAT IT IS. - Derrick in Denver Fri, 07 Mar 2008 07:48:56 +0100
