GOP activists circling Clinton's campaign
Conservatives don't hold back on early attacks. 'I know how to defeat them,' she says.

WASHINGTON — Old enemies of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton are out in force. Just weeks after she joined the Democratic Party's flock of presidential contenders, Clinton is being targeted by conservative and Republican-allied activists intent on derailing her campaign before the start of next year's primaries.
They have surfaced with a flurry of planned projects: a Michael Moore-style documentary film, book-length exposes, and websites such as StopHerNow.com and StopHillaryPAC.com.
Conservative admirers of the Swift Vets and POWs for Truth media blitz that helped torpedo Democratic Sen. John F. Kerry's presidential candidacy in 2004 are now agitating to "Swift-boat" Clinton.
"People are doing what they're doing because they want to defeat her before she has a chance to win. You can't hold off your silver bullet to the end," said veteran Republican operative David N. Bossie, who is involved in the film project with Dick Morris, a former advisor to Bill Clinton.
The emerging moves against the New York senator reflect the accelerated pace of the 2008 race and conservatives' growing conviction that she poses a formidable threat that requires fast and early footwork.
Clinton has been publicly bracing for "Republican machine" attacks from the moment she launched her exploratory committee last month.

Sounds like Hillary is resurrecting the 'vast right wing conspiracy' stuff again. Hillary is just a victim after all. Because of the 'vast right wing conspiracy' she's never really been able to blossom in to the leader she purports to be.
Her philosophy can be gleaned from her statements as 'socialism hasn't work in the US because the right people haven't been in charge'. I'm sure that if she were in charge there would be an end to every ill afflicting society because her compassion would make rainbows in every heart. And, of course, the white man would cast in to the fire like the Ring Of Sauron - as the white man is the source of all evil, especially, the conservative white man.
Maybe Hillary should focus on her real opponents instead of the imagined ones.
