Stop The Presses! Farrow demands cease of Clinton disparagement

 

 

The drive-by media  has stirred up a needless frenzy about RFK’a death in California after the1968 primary win — serious, scary days for the whole country. If you read this piece regularly, you know I am no fan of the Clintons, but I’m going to side with her initial statement.

Here it is in its entirety: Clinton Speech.

Now what’s amazing is that not only did Barry Obama decry the statement but that everyone from the left pounced on her like hyenas.

A Few Samples

The New York Daily News: “We have seen an X-ray of a very dark soul. One consumed by raw ambition to where the possible assassination of an opponent is something to ponder in a strategic way. Otherwise, why is murder on her mind?”

From the left: Camille Paglia, a University Professor of Humanities and Media Studies at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia writes:

 

“Women contemplating the Hillary precedent would do better to ignore evanescent polls and study military history instead. When women try to masquerade in the lion skin of military bravado, it leads to embarrassments like Hillary’s daffy tale about running for cover under sniper fire in Bosnia — which insulted the US military by implying it would put a First Lady and her daughter in danger.

“Then there was Hillary’s threat to ‘obliterate’ Iran should it attack Israel, a shocking word-choice that betrayed naiveté about military options and indifference to their human consequences. Feminist ideologues sniffle about how hard the road is for women candidates. Hillary, it is alleged, has had to be tough and soft, masculine and feminine.

“So that’s the rationale for her head-spinning personality changes? For every new state or region, she trots out a new tone or accent, from the crisp to the cornpone. It’s crude and patronizing —which is partly why she has surprisingly lost support among her peers, educated upper-middle-class women.

“No, the first woman president must have a consistent character and steady demeanor. She will also, however, need a mountain of cash, crucial for the blizzard of advertising that unfortunately constitutes national campaigns in the US. Here Hillary, tutored by her husband, has definitely blazed a trail.

“There’s no one better at flattering and soaking the rich and famous. But she has blown through her hoard with breathtaking profligacy. After raising well over $100 million, she is now more than $20 million in debt and sinking deeper every day.

“Clamoring hosts of small vendors remain callously unpaid in her wake. A prudent money manager she clearly is not — hence the reluctance of so many voters to put Hillary in charge of the US budget. Sexism has nothing to do with it.”

According to the New York Post this is what she said, what prompted the Obama campaign to proclaim “unfortunate”:

“’My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it,’ she said, dismissing calls to drop out.

Someone on the editorial board mentioned Kenedy’s shooting and she answered it later.

“Clinton made her comments at a meeting with the editorial board of the Sioux Falls Argus Leader, a paper in South Dakota. She is campaigning in the state ahead of its June 3 primary.

“During the session, she complained, ‘People have been trying to push me out of this ever since Iowa.’

See Peggy Noonan’s column about that.  She called Mrs. Cinton among other designations, “‘Insulting… manipulative… prissy… sissy’ Can’t say as I disagree.  The business about coming under fire in Bosnia was jaw dropping.

Still, are we going to let Barry dictate everything we say with the lavish dogs of the mainstream press salivating over his every word? I don’t believe Hilary Clinton should be president. I also don’t think that Barry Obama should control the conversation.

When is he going to learn that his wife, his minister, his relationships with known Leftist terrorists are fair game for the grist mill? This is within his own party. Wait’ll Denver is torn to shreds in August, and he has to face the general electorate – no stone unturned.

Everyone is talking about how the Republicans will do so poorly in November. I don’t know. The percentage points margin of the Democrat win in 2006 was within spitting distance for the Republicans.

Everyone thinks that Democrats will be swept in on a pro-Obama landslide. If the massive win turns out to be a slight loss, everything could change. Still, go after Mrs. Clinton for stuff she has actually done, not something the left perceives she has done. God knows, there’s plenty out there.

This is like Barry’s umbrage about Bush’s speech Monday at the Knesset. Guess what, Barry? It’s not all about you.

I am not a McCain fan, but I’d rather have an adult at the helm than I would a child playing, “Pirates of the Caribbean.”
