Clinton to Obama: 'Shame on you'

(CNN) -- A visibly angry Sen. Hillary Clinton lashed out Saturday at Sen. Barack Obama over campaign literature that she said he knows is "blatantly false."

Clinton jabbed the air with her hands as she told a crowd in Cincinnati, Ohio, that two Obama mailings spread lies about her positions on universal health care and the North American Free Trade Agreement.

"Shame on you, Barack Obama," she said.

Polls show Clinton and Obama are in statistical dead heats in delegate-rich Ohio and Texas, which both hold votes March 4.

With Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland nodding in agreement behind her, Clinton accused Obama of emulating the tactics of Karl Rove, President Bush's former political director who is reviled by Democrats.

Obama "is continuing to send false and discredited mailings with information that is not true to the voters of Ohio," Clinton said.

One mailing says her health care proposal would force everyone to buy health insurance, regardless of ability to pay, a charge Clinton vehemently denied.

"Sen. Obama knows it is not true that my plan forces people to buy insurance even if they can't afford it," she said.

The NAFTA mailer says Clinton was a "champion" for NAFTA while first lady, but now opposes it. NAFTA was negotiated by the first President Bush and signed into law by President Bill Clinton.

"I am fighting to change NAFTA," Hillary Clinton said Saturday.

"Enough with the speeches and the big rallies and then using tactics right out of Karl Rove's playbook. This is wrong, and every Democrat should be outraged," she said.

Obama spokesman Bill Burton denied Clinton's assertions that the literature was false.

"Everything in those mailers is completely accurate, unlike the discredited attacks from Hillary Clinton's negative campaign that have been rejected in South Carolina, Wisconsin, and across America," Burton said.

Clinton challenged Obama to "meet me in Ohio, and let's have a debate about your tactics and your behavior in this campaign."

Hillary has finally come out swinging but me thinks it's too little and far too late.

This is going to be a non story simply because Hillary will look like she is attacking Obama in desperation.In may well backfire on her..

From where she's sitting, she doesn't have any other cards to play...

I wouldn't say it could backfire, considering she's lost so much ground anyway...NOT attacking probably got her into this mess in the first place...

The ironic thing is that she said "Karl Rove tactics"...

Listen Hillary...you dope...

"Karl Rove tactics" are the tactics that get people ELECTED....NOT people like you who are watching your poll ratings fall faster than Brittney Spears on a bender...

I think her xerox comment was a bad idea. But she is right on here. That flier barack produced was chicken shit. And it does look like the insurance company ads they ran during Hillarys attempt to address healthcare in the 90's. And he didn't address the flier in his comments.

Hillary was screwed from the start. Rove was right about her negatives being so high. She's screwed no matter what. She's the Ice Princess.

Also, Rove tactics have been ruined by Bush & co.
