This isn't new or dreamed up by Dodd (although I applaud him for publicizing it);
I heard this suggested on a NPR discussion weeks ago.

Tell me again how calling her a "monster" is inaccurate?

Calling Obama names is what Hillary's campaign is all about - they've mastered the art of the backhanded compliment, the thinly-veiled jabs at race, religion, experience, etc.

I imagine that's why Hillary's people were so amazed at Power's statement: it's been drummed into them to say everything covertly instead of overtly.

And?

Race-baiting, condescending ageism, outright deception on "NAFTA-gate", running on her husband's record, on and on...

Samantha Power merely vocalized what most people have been thinking. A no-no, but one with plenty of truth behind it.
