Picking Our Enemies

For John, BLUF:  Ms Clinton seems to have violated the rule about conservation of enemies.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

From the InstaPundit we have Ed Driscoll making this point about Hunny Bunny and her answer to the question about who she saw as her "enemy".

THE DEEPER SIGNIFICANCE OF HILLARY’S ‘ENEMIES’ GAFFE:  At the Corner, Jonah Goldberg writes:

This should properly be considered a "Kinsley gaffe" in that she accidentally told the truth.  For much of the night, she stuck to her focus-grouped talking points, boasting about how she knows how to build consensus and work the system in Washington “to get things done.”  And then, in a spontaneous slip, she revealed that she considers Republicans — altogether — not only her enemy, but the enemy she is most proud of.  It would have been nice if Anderson Cooper, Jim Webb or one of the pushovers on stage had seized that point and asked, “How can you talk about building consensus when you’ve just boasted that you consider all Republicans your enemy?” Clinton is much more of a Manichean than she usually lets on.  That’s one reason she keeps Sid Blumenthal on retainer as a Wormtongue.  He says the things about Republican conspirators she wants to hear and believe.

Read the whole thing.

Again, Mr Driscoll says:

“How can you talk about building consensus when you’ve just boasted that you consider all Republicans your enemy?”

Actually, I think that is straight forward.  She would like to strip away folks from the Republican Party and make them unenrolled or Democrats.  She has no use for Republicans.  It is all a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
