You might as well say that Clinton supported the fascist coup of Argentina in 1976. After all, Burson-Marsteller, Clinton's PR firm headed by CEO Mark Penn, represented the regime. Also on the list of tacit endorsements is Nicolae Ceaucescu, Blackwater, and Countrywide Financial.
Something a candidate's minister once said about a man whom the candidate has publicly and explicitly denounced isn't something I'd get worked up about. This recent fracas about Obama's statements regarding NAFTA is much more interesting to me.
Ultimately, however, Obama is the stronger candidate on the basis of a lack of partisan baggage. In the wake of Clinton's failed health care initiative in the 90s, she even created some enemies within her own party and within Bill Clinton's administration. Dick Morris practically foams at the mouth every time he hears her name.
