The key problem for Hillary's campaign is that normal people reel back in horror at her association with the Clinton administration. (Which is why, as her supporter, I refer to her as simply "Hillary.") | Coulter jumped the shark a while back, so let's see how bad she can be ... |
But because of her unfortunate marriage, ...
| for which Clinton? |
| In her revisionist history, she forgets that Hilde was part-and-parcel of Clinton I. Carville, Begala, Conason, etc., were as much her as Bill. That is what people recoil from |
| She's got a point there ... |
| To the contrary, if Coulter could put down her keyboard and fire up her memory she'd remember that a lot of serious Democrats defended Bill back when he was playing 'hide the cigar' with Monica. Remember the mantra, "it's all about sex"? That was uttered by serious Democrats, both office holders and pundits. And it worked. Bill survived. |
| Cable TV producers call the same people regardless. I'm surprised they didn't have the same people out there on 9/12 ... |
| A lot of embittered Dhimmis cling to Barack for the same reason: more than just wanting Bush gone, or Republicans gone, they want their phoney-baloney jobs back, and they need a Dhimmicrat to do that. Barack looks like their meal ticket so that's who they're with for now, but if Hilde managed to win the nomination they'd bow and scrape as necessary to get in good with her. It's all about being Deputy Assistant Undersecretary ... |
| Wait ... |
| Again, wait. Wait til September and you'll be hearing more about Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn. Wait til October and you'll be seeing ads from 527s replaying 'God Damn America'. We'll see how repellent Snake-Boy is then ... |
That's a slick answer -- even "Clintonian"! -- but the problem is, Ayers and his Weatherman wife, Bernadine Dohrn, won't stop boasting about their days as Weathermen.
It's not simply that they haven't repented. To the contrary, those were their glory days! And Ayers isn't just someone who lives in the neighborhood: He and Dohrn were there at the inception of Obama's political career, hosting a fundraiser for Obama at their home back in 1995.
| They've turned respectable, which is a sad indicator of where American society is today. |
At one rally, Dohrn famously praised the Manson family for murdering Sharon Tate and others, shouting: "Dig it. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into a victim's stomach! Wild!"
In a better country, just saying "Dig it!" in public would get you 20 years in the slammer.
Dohrn has recently tried to clarify her Manson remarks by saying it was some sort of "statement" about violence in society and, furthermore, that she said it while under sniper fire in Bosnia. Also recently, the members of the Manson family have distanced themselves from Ayers and Dohrn.
At other rallies, Dohrn said, "Bring the revolution home, kill your parents -- that's where it's at."
After a Chicago Democratic official, Richard Elrod, became paralyzed while fighting with a privileged looter during the Weathermen's "Days of Rage," Dohrn led the Weathermen in a song sung to the tune of Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay":
Lay, Elrod, lay,
Lay in the street for a while
Stay, Elrod, stay
Stay in your bed for a while
You thought you could stop the Weatherman
But up-front people put you on your can,
Stay, Elrod, stay
Stay in your iron lung,
Play, Elrod, play
Play with your toes for a while
Only because of a merciful God is the author of that ditty, Ted Gold, not teaching at Northwestern or the University of Illinois now, alongside Dohrn or Ayers. That's because Gold is no longer with us, having accidentally blown himself up with a bomb intended for a dance at Fort Dix for new recruits and their dates.
While trying to assemble the bomb at an elegant Greenwich Village townhouse that belonged to one of the revolutionaries' fathers, the bungling Weathermen blew up the entire townhouse, killing Gold and two other butterfingered revolutionaries. Leave it to these nincompoops to turn their glorious Marxist revolution into an "I Love Lucy" sketch.
| We've seen that in numerous places in Gaza and Pakiwakiland. An old cop friend of mine once said, "if all the criminals were smart, the prisons would be empty." What continues to delay the Revolution is that most of the accolytes are just as dumb ... |
If he had only said he bombed the building in Oklahoma City to protest American "imperialism," McVeigh, too, could be teaching at Northwestern University, sitting on a board with and holding fundraisers for presidential candidate B. Hussein Obama.
