Hill-bullies May Bring US Four More Years of GOP Rule
Hill-bullies May Bring US Four More Years of GOP Rule --The Rec Report --By Michael Rectenwald 08 Mar 2007

Hillary Clinton is the person that everyone-from various political positions-loves to hate. Of course, she's the favorite nemesis of the far-right pundit- and blogosphere. Check your cable listings; Foxy News (notice the array of neo-Nazi-card-carrying blondes fawning over O'Reilly and Hannity) celebrates a round-the-clock Hill-bashing from now until Election Day in 2008, if she gets that far. The Hillary-haters on rightwing media are so vehement they need napkins for the foam frothing from their mouths. Rush Limbaugh has a special spittoon installed. The microphone is often replaced after sounds become inaudible.

But the Hill-bullies are not exclusive to Faux and Raunch. Chris Matthews, the otherwise floundering middleweight chameleon, has a special, heavyweight hankering for Hillary hate. His animus appears to be especially personal, as if she's somehow slighted him, or refused him a date. He misses no opportunity to scorn her smile, ridicule her delivery, or sneer at the color of her dress. He spares nary a minute bolstering any opponent she might have, be he Obama, Edwards or even a Republican. He's like the DC sniper, lying in wait, always on the hunt for Hillary. His guests try to change the subject, embarrassed for his custom-fetishized caviling.

...(I)f we continue to join in all those rein-in-Hillary games of the right, we might just end up with Rudolph or Huckabee.

5. Why perpetuate the myth that Hillary is the ONLY choice?
Edited on Sat Dec-08-07 01:30 AM by BushDespiser12
This type of diatribe that precedes your bolded final line is as bullying as any tripe I've read... "We won't go far with Obama, the eat-you-for-Republican-lunch ticket, or the Impossible Dream candidacies of either Kucinich or Paul. Although Kucinich would be my candidate in an ideal world, unfortunately, that's not where we live. (Edwards is snowed under by Hillary and Obama, so we won't be seeing him anytime soon.)"

Talk about bullying...

8. The Obama groupies are stupid
the republicans would mess their pants ten times over if Obama got the nomination, as if he would. Because they know no matter who their candidate was he would win in a landslide.

How stupid are these people who bounce their johnson's who in their wildest dreams thinks Obama has any chance at all to win. Of course Oprah has gotten a bunch of students to "American Idol" him. But what does that mean. He can't win, the south or the midwest, and he sure as hell won't take New York or California. Stupid stupid stupid...the republicans are dreaming of an Obama nomination and messing their shorts.

10. We've heard this one before. It is an argument based entirely on a craven fear of Republicans.
