I’ve got to tell you I’m a little baffled. Hillary Clinton’s own party is trying to burn her to the ground for a statement concerning her campaign and the assassination of Bobby Kennedy. I despise the woman, and all of Joe Kennedy’s foul creche of demon spawn, but give me break—and her for that matter. At this point, I’m pretty sure the reason they’re ripping on Hillary is that she broke with the sacred texts of liberal protocol and made a coherent, cogent, rational, and worst of all—on topic comment.
Conversely, we have Barack Obama whose every third word is guaranteed to cause the electoral equivalent of the China Syndrome. But yet it doesn’t. Obama has committed scads of verbal gaffes, any one of which should have been sufficient to send him to the card table with the little kids while the grownups continued the campaign. But yet they don’t.
In case you haven’t figured it out yet, I’ve been waiting in vain for 57-state-gate to take its toll. It’s bad enough when Lefties have inane beliefs that could negatively impact the country; not believing the Constitution means what it explicitly says comes immediately to mind. But when the presumptive nominee for the country’s largest political party doesn’t know the difference between states, territories, and possessions, or how many of them there are, then something something is wrong in the state of Denmark (rumored to be an island in Lake Superior).
Poor George Allen, one of the most promising early candidates for the Republican nomination had his campaign crumple faster than the French army after uttering a word made up on-the-spot for comedic effect. If you’ll recall, Allen humorously dubbed a spy from a rival campaign “Macaca”, presumably to let both the spy and his supporters know that knew he was there. The non-event immediately became the event of the hour, day, week, month, and year. Strangely, the story vanished overnight after this strong contender was eliminated as a threat to the Liberal Democrat Politburo. We all know the controversy would still be raging if Allen had hung in there until now.
If the opposition and its lap dogs in the media are going to have a double standard, is it too much to ask that you at least try to be sneaky about it?
