Original article: She's in it to spin it

The new math

Hillary has developed a new math that might come handy when working on Superstring Theory. Based on that math, she is ahead in the popular vote because only states she has won are figured in and the only red states who count in her popular vote math are those she won. The red states Obama has won don't count, since "the Democrats won't win them anyway", a principle she isn't applying to Kentucky and W.V. for example, states the Democrats have no chance of carrying in November. She isn't in it to just spin it, but to warp and distort the metrics to the point where everybody's head is spinning.

My frined from the UK

who teaches political science at Oxford is visiting me this week and she said:"there are many things I could say about Hillary Clinton, but nothing comes more readily to mind than she must be the most bloody insincere woman in the world."

You wanna make a bet

that she is hoping Obama WOULD be assassinated so she can get the nomination? She is that bad. To me, she is the moral equivalent of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Lieberman and the rest of the criminal gang. She is a person who is utterly unscrupulous, a sociopath, a born liar and psychotically self centered.

Now we know why she won't drop out

That little Freudian slip of hers illuminated what has been going on in the recesses of her mind :surely one of my Kentucky or West Virginia hillbillies will soon shoot that skinny nigger.

She took a page from Israel circa 1995

The Right wing politicians never called directly for Rabin's assassination. But they have inserted that concept into the debate about the Oslo Accords subliminally and gradually it became part of the Right wing DNA. Sharon, Netanyahu, Landau and their fellow travelers could claim, quite correctly, that they never called for Rabin's assassination, but when you read between the lines, it's quite clear that they deliberately opened a Pandora Box that wasn't going to be closed again. In their case, they kept associating the concept of surrendering territories with words like 'treason', 'betrayal', 'appeasement', 'self hating traitors','traitors will be punished", etc. When Clinton brought up the issue of a political assassination of a presidential candidate, even in the context of the timing, she deliberately opened that Pandora Box, just by mentioning the word 'assassination'.

Best fucking post I read in a very long time.

That white racist vote

that liked Clinton so much in the Democratic primaries, would go to McCain in November whether the nominee is Obama or Clinton. It's high time for sane Democrats to stop agonizing over the racist voters-our nation is inundated with them and they don't vote for the Democrat come November.

Nast, nasty woman

To get added insight into what a truly nasty woman Hillary Clinton is, remember that her remarks on Friday came a couple of days after Edward Kennedy was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. Next thing you know, his fellow senator is saying that California might well be celebrating the fortieth anniversary of his borther’s murder by killing the candidate he has endorsed for the nomination.

Now Hillary Clinton is dutifully saying that she was misunderstood, that she had no intention, no thought, that she might be taking about SOMEONE KILLING OBAMA, SOMEONE SHOOTING THE BLACK MAN DEAD, JUST LIKE SOMEONE SHOT BOBBY KENNEDY DEAD IN CALIFORNIA, IN CALIFORNIA, DEAD, REALLY DEAD. Oh my heavens no, the thought never crossed my mind.
