Hilary Clinton Gets Personal

Do a Google Image search for Hilary Clinton. Look at the first image that shows up:

Now, search for Barack Obama, and look at the first image:

There’s a glaring difference and I think it’s representative of the a larger perception of the two candidates.

Until now, I didn’t hate Hilary, not as a person at least. While I would prefer if candidates refrained from playing “politics”, realistically it’s very hard to. And so whenever someone called Hilary a “mean” person, or “arrogant”, I merely shrugged… while she did seem that way and while her attacks on Obama were always quite rude, I really didn’t mind so much because after all it was just politics, and after all everyone has some flaws, and after all when you’re talking in front of millions of people, and when you’re under that much pressure, you do slip up sometimes and say silly things.

Mrs. Clinton told a South Dakota newspaper editorial board her husband’s nomination in 1992 wasn’t wrapped up until June, and “we all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California.”

There’s an imaginary line, and once you cross it you’ve gone to far. That remark went way too far. In my opinion, she’s crossed the line, and not by a foot, but by a solid 100 yards.

You don’t bring up assassination. That’s personal. Sure, Hilary argues that she didn’t mean for her remarks to be interpreted that way, but no matter how hard I try, I can’t believe that Hilary would be so stupid as to not foresee the implications of what she was going to say… I’m sure she doesn’t want Obama to die, but I’m also sure that she wanted voters to consider death… I’m sure Hilary wanted voters to worry that Obama could die. She’s desperate of course, but I find it heartless and cruel of her to bring this up. You don’t talk about assassination, and that’s it. Period. I personally hate Hilary Clinton.

And the images, yeah… Hilary is an insensitive lunatic who doesn’t even deserve to be a nominee. Go write another book Hilary. I’ve got a couple idea for you - “Why the Nomination Process needs to change”, “How Sexists and Misogynists Prevented me from getting Elected” or my favorite one “The Voting Crisis in Florida and Michigan and how it’s like Zimbabwe”. Heck, I might even buy a copy of that last book and go to one of your book signings if you promise to never, ever, again meddle in politics. Retire. It’s over. You need a rest.
