Hillary Becomes a Republican

Fri, May 23, 2008 at 7:29:47 pm PDT

Hillary Clinton is finding out what it’s like to be a Republican tonight, as MSNBC and CNN and the Associated Press go for her jugular vein; she mentioned the assassination of Robert Kennedy as an example of how things can change in an election’s late innings, and the left wing media are almost universally accusing her of insinuating that Barack Obama will be assassinated.

Welcome to the GOP, Hill!

UPDATE at 5/23/08 7:57:48 pm:

Keith Obermann’s rant: “You actually used THOSE WORDS in this America, Senator?! You cannot SAY THIS!!!”

Sensitive mummies and dumbass Brits:

The decision, which has prompted wholesale derision, came after Manchester Museum said it had received ‘feedback’ from the public saying it was ‘insensitive to display unwrapped mummies’.

Having ordered the cover up, managers claim they are following Government policy and are carrying out a public consultation.

Last night the museum, whose Egyptian department has a worldwide reputation, was accused of being ridiculous and told it risked becoming a ‘laughing stock’.

Fact is the Clintons are right. Obama is unelectable by the established voting criteria. Plus Clinton is crazy like a fox. The assassination comment ensures she can't be the VP on Obama's crash and burn ticket. The Clintons not only want the nomination they want to dominate the democratic party.

In their minds the United States and our allies and friends are the Evil Empire and it must be brought down.

But we're not the Evil Empire and war is not peace, freedom is not slavery, ignorance is not strength, and consensual sex is not rape.

But to accept reality as being real would not allow them to pretend that they are some manner of superior person. Especially when they are so mentally inverted.

I think some folks feel a need to achieve, but since they are not the creative or productive kind of person they must then resort to destruction in the place of positive achievement. Thus the need to denigrate their victims, those persons, groups, or nations who are actually good.

That said, her RFK comparison was stupid and cold-blooded, and proof that she is a total a-hole and that they only care about themselves. Her spin that it was cuz she was thinking about Teddy is an example of a narcisistic disorder where she can never do wrong and her wrong deeds are only altruism misunderstood by her lessers.

Democrats are political bedfellows of convenience they only care who can win it all for them. All will be forgiven in 2012. That is why you still have undecided super delegates at this point, they can read the state results that show Obama loses, given his poor showing. Remember he only won

democratic

primaries, and not in some of the needed states. What Hillary did is prevent dems forcing her into taking the VP, because if Obama was to ask her now he looks like an even bigger wuss than he did before. Besides Michelle will not allow him to.

Let them keep fighting. The wounds will leave the Democratic Party in shreds.
Afterwards, we can end up with two new parties; a conservative Republican party, and a new center/left party. The remains of the Democrats will be the loony left.
Of course, this could mean that McCain and Lieberman end up in the new party. Even Hillary. The loony party gets left with Kucinich (sp?) and Obmama-Marx. Maybe Ron Paul moves over and joins them, and we have some fun times watching their debates (How many ufos have visited Earth in the past year? Mr Kucinich?)

But the nightmare ticket of McCain/Clinton would guarantee an Obama victory.

Hillary was talking about months into the campaign. She said that generally it was not until June that any candidate dropped out.
She mentioned that Bill Clinton clinched the nomination in June, by winning California in June.
She paused, and said that she clearly remembers that the month was June, because that was the month that Robert Kennedy was assassinated.

There is no way that the media are able to cut this courageous woman any slack. They assume the worst possible motives. She was stating facts, not cursing her rival.

Incidentally, the story about Hillary's trip to Bosnia has strangely omitted these important details, involving what the cameras did not show during her flight into Bosnia.
[Link: www.nytimes.com...]

Straight Shooting From Tuzla, by Lissa Muscatine and Melanne Verveer
"Reports are now being embellished (to borrow a term du jour) to suggest that Bosnia was not really a danger zone. Her visiting American troops on a peacekeeping mission in a hostile environment is now being treated as if it were a trip to the beach. During a week of nonstop coverage, few journalists went beyong the irresistible video footage to ask what else happened on this trip and how Mrs. Clinton might have erred in the details about he landing in Tuzla. So here are some facts that provide context:



We flew in a C-17 cargo plane from Germany to Bosnia precisely because it was capable of steep descents and ascents into and out of areas of conflict. We were issued flak jackets on the plane before landing in Tuzla and were told the tarmac ceremony might be canceled or curtailed due to sniper fire from the surrounding hillsides. The first lady and Chelsea Clinton wer moved to the armored cockpit for the landing. Armored vehicles were placed around the tarmac, and Apache helicopters hovered overhead.



In a recent e-mail message to a British blogger, Ejup Ganic, who was the acting president of Bosnia during Mrs. Clinton's visit, wrote: "I remember that visit quite well. Although the NATO troops were in Tuzla, we still believed that some positions on the hills were occupied by radical Serbs, so I was worried about the overall safety." The planned welcoming ceremony was shortened, he said, but it still lasted a bit longer than expected because a nongovernment group brought along a little girl to sing to the first lady.



Later, Mrs. Clinton flew from Tuzla to two military outposts by helicpter, escorted by Apache gunships.

Can you imagine the situation with a President Barack Hussein Obama, and the first lady, Michelle Obama, doing this? I cannot.

Barack Obama's co-president, Michelle Obama, will be very different.

And that was not the first time Shrill had done it, either. The bitch can deny, deny, deny..but that was done to send a message. There just is no low that is low enough for either of the Billaries. They are monsters.

'Concern for the Kennedys'? The same Kennedys that endorsed Hussein en masse?

Can I sell anyone a bridge? (No pun intended.)

I fear for our future and that of our kids and grandkids if either Demonrat is elected.

re: #84 tokyobk

It is totally obvious that the meida love Obama and think that Hillary is a bizzach, and of course that the loss of the media protection makes them like republicans. That said, her RFK comparison was stupid and cold-blooded, and proof that she is a total a-hole and that they only care about themselves. Her spin that it was cuz she was thinking about Teddy is an example of a narcisistic disorder where she can never do wrong and her wrong deeds are only altruism misunderstood by her lessers.

I am blinded by your brilliance! Really. Text-book analysis.

Just more evidence that Hillary, despite the pre-Obama claims, is not the smartest woman in the world. In fact, I don't think she's that bright...

/certainly doesn't have Bill's instincts...

She was giving an (bad) example of why she is still in the race.

This is the real reason.

She's just afraid to be the one to make it public, she might have to now.

Interesting link. So why didn't Hillary bring all this up back when it mattered?
