Hillary Clinton questions the patriotism of Libya war critics

Respect mah authoritye!

No really, she goes there ;

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is questioning the priorities of lawmakers criticizing the U.S. intervention in Libya.

She’s asking bluntly, “Whose side are you on?”

Which prompts AllahP to ask, “What’s next, MoveOn.org running ads needling Boehner for being a hippie?”.

Now I’m sure the MBM will just be all over this, since, as they so often declare, they are driven by a quest to expose “Hypocrisy”. But I wouldn’t hold my breath…

If you’re wondering how Secretary Clinton is being hypocritical in her remarks, well, let’s all take a trip down memory lane, back to 2006 to revisit some of her past pronouncements on similar matters:

“Since when has it been part of American patriotism to keep our mouths shut?” – Hillary Clinton 2006

“Blind faith in bad leadership is not patriotism” – Hillary Clinton 2006

And one of my all time faves:

“Dissent is the highest form of Patriotism” – Hillary Clinton 2006

So just as I often call on the President to revisit his professed criticisms of “The Imperial Presidency” from the 2008 campaign, so too would I remind Mrs. Clinton to heed some of her own advice from the recent past. Or, you know, read the myriad bumper stickers affixed to the back of countless cars in the DC area or the tony NY suburbs where she lives.

But I’ll give Hillz her props; at least she didn’t call the Congressional critics a bunch of RAAAAAAAACISTS!
