But aren’t Hillary & Obama “lashing out?”

From the Democrat-friendly Associated Press today:

John Edwards and Hillary Rodham Clinton criticized Barack Obama's praise of the Republican Party and Ronald Reagan - an anathema for many Democrats, particularly union members considered crucial to winning Nevada's Democratic caucuses Saturday.

Obama responded by suggesting Clinton would be a "president whose plans change with the politics of the moment" as part of one of his most direct critiques of the New York senator yet.

If John Edwards and Hillary Rodham Clinton were Republicans who “criticized” Obama;

and he was also a Republican who responded to Hillary with “one of his most direct critiques of the New York senator yet;”

wouldn’t the AP be telling us about “ their angry attacks” and how they were “lashing out?”

I think so.

Does anyone care to critique it?
