Does Anyone Know the Current State of Clinton-Bashing Rhetoric?

[Sporadicus]

especially that which emanates from the likes of Oxyrush, Klannity et al? I've read some conspiracy-laced posts here recently suggesting that Bill & Hillary Clinton represent merely another facet of an evil enterprise that transcends outward political alliances. Some of these posts point to NY republicans campaigning for Hillary as evidence of collusion.

Since I don't - and won't - listen to RW talk radio or watch cable news punditry, I'm interested in whether they have ratcheted down the tone of their rhetoric lately or if it's still business as usual. If you have the stomach for keeping tabs on the RW shills, please check in to let us know what - if anything - they've been saying about the Clintons lately.

1. Not sure about the public stuff,

but the Repubs I know still keep "it was Clinton's fault" as a last-resort "rebuttal" in just about any argument about the failings of bushyboy and friends.

2. Evil Enterprise

I've read some conspiracy-laced posts here recently suggesting that Bill & Hillary Clinton represent merely another facet of an evil enterprise that transcends outward political alliances.

I think that is a current conservative argument. For example David Horowitz has a new site, called discover the network or something making a similar point. (http://www.frontpagemag.com , if you want to go and research what they are saying)

4. Welcome to DU, and thanks for the link,

though I couldn't stand to look at it for too long.

People who are that delusional make my head hurt.

3. Rush was saying he was an immoral golfer the other day

...seriously.

5. In the gym, I could see Faux News bashing Hillary

up down right and left, and that was without the sound on.

I put in the suggestion box

Suggestion: "Please put something other than Fox News on in the weight room. This is a township facility, and over 50% of the people in this township voted Democratic last election, so something more neutral and less right-wing might be appropriate"

Benefit from your suggestion: "Lower blood pressure for the >50% of Democratic voters."

6. Good for You!

I first became acquainted with Faux News in the days immediately following 9/11, when the TVs in the cafeteria at work were tuned to Faux 24/7. It didn't take long to recognize its jingoistic theme, so I suggested that the station get switched to CNN on alternating days. Little did I realize that CNN would try to outFOX FOX in mere months to come.

10. That's the problem - it's not as if CNN or MSNBC are "liberal"

So even if it's not Faux, do I really want to look at Wolf Blitzer or Dennis Miller instead?

7. Judging from the Posts Thus Far

Clinton-bashing is still a RW league sport. If it's truly been scripted for Hillary to take over the reins of power at the end of *'s term, I would look for the first signs of it from their so-called pundits. Until I see evidence to the contrary, I'll continue to believe that Bill and Hillary Clinton represent ideology at odds with the interests of the BFEE.

8. I'm curious why

there is so much Clinton bashing, Bill and Hillary, at DU. We don't have to give either one of them hero status. But considering all the issues we have which really need our attention, the daily threads deriding either Clinton seem a diversion, at best. I question the intent of those threads -- intentionally divisive? What really is the purpose? I just think we've got more work to do for our country than a constant barrage against the Clintons.

9. Most of the Clinton-bashing rhetoric machines are in

the shop for repairs and retoolings. All the instances of "Bill" are being excised and replaced with "Hill", while all the instances of "President" are being replaced by "Hillary" or "Senator".

Of course, the rhetoric shops are doing a booming business, and their work is hampered by not knowing exactly what insults will need to be stockpiled.

11. I would figure that the RWers are praying that BC will live

with the idea that, if BC dies of a "simple procedure", Hillary would garner the sympathy vote for 2008 (and 2006 for that matter).

They'd have to off Bush41 or Ford to get the sympathy back - or possibly even Bush43 - since he can't (as it stands) run in 2008.
