| VDH: Clinton Entitlement |
| 2008-01-18 |
| One of the strangest things of this strange campaign is how all the politically-correct chickens are coming home to roost atop Sen. Clinton, and in the process revealing much about the elite liberal mindset. Even the famed Clinton racial fides is now being questioned, as she resorts, albeit in convoluted similes to Martin Luther King, to playing the race competency card — only to get slapped back over the head with it by the identity politics of Sen. Obama. For years the Clintons have pandered to the National Council of La Raza; now an ad, in Spanish no less!, is accusing her of all sorts of illiberal things in Nevada. It is almost as if an entirely new generation has tragically forgotten that angry, finger-pointing Bill was once our first "black" president, and won "access" for poorer voters through his "motor-voter" legislation, and helped keep our borders open by suggesting anyone who objected was less than liberal. But as Bill pointed out, the real sin was that Obama did not, as Bill supposedly magnanimously had done in 1988, "wait" his turn. Translated that means that the Clinton hierarchy was to get a total of 16 years, and then, and only then, could others in line have their day. Such a sense of entitlement and maternalism was bound to turn nuclear when an unapproved minority candidate decided to run, especially an Obama with far greater wit, savvy, and rhetorical skills than Hillary. If it is a question of winning only by demonizing Obama as the minority candidate with pizzazz but not the acumen of a sober and judicious and experienced pro like Hillary, then we know what's coming — though done artfully through surrogates like successful black executives, and through properly tasteful off-the-record asides or lip-biting metaphors. |

| #4 You're not on message there, JUSTICE. You're supposed to make us believe you want peace even though we know that you really want to slit our throats. You're supposed to make us believe you are a religious, spiritual individual when we know that you are really just another bloodthirsty politician. How can you get away with that? Whatever happened to taqiyya? Why, we might actually wake up and give you the whupping you deserve. |

| #3 I think Justice forgot the /sarcasm quotes because he can't possibly be serious. If he is a serious Muslim I'd love to have a question answered. What about the fact Obama goes to a Christian Church. Does that make him an apostate? How would the Muslim world react if they believed he was a Muslim and then found he was not or had reverted? |
