Hillary is not a monster
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/gavin-de-becker/hillary-is-not-a-monster_b_98764.html

Sure, like a monster would, Hillary tries to scare people, lots of people - but that's where the similarity ends. Monsters don't merely conjure and promote fear - they actually try to kill you. They growl, and grab and claw and devour. In movies, monsters pick their victims off one by one, subjecting each to terror and then death. Hillary is nothing at all like that. First off, she doesn't work one at a time; she works state by state. And second, she doesn't want to actually injure people, just frighten them - and not to death. Hillary Clinton is the scary music in the movie that gives you the creeps - not the beast that sinks its teeth into people's necks. So calling her a monster isn't accurate and isn't fair.

Calling her a politician is right on. Her most recent commercial flashes a montage of scary photos certain to stimulate frightening memories. There's Bin Laden, of course - that doesn't even surprise me at this point - but Pearl Harbor? For fear's sake, Hillary, you're invoking the Yellow Peril? I understand going back to the fear well so often, but going back 67 years?

Because she won't let up, I want to pick through the rubble of one of Hillary's earlier conjured tragedies: the 3AM phone call. We can now look at it from the vantage point of having somehow survived these two months without a nuclear terrorist event.

1. She just plays one on Iran.
I hope that she was merely pandering with her nuke threat. I think she's saner than that.

7. Actually, there's all kinds of Monsters and
hilary is the one that Samantha Powers was talking about..the stoop to ANYTHING kind.

But, Gavin de Becker makes excellent points, no doubt.

"Because she won't let up, I want to pick through the rubble of one of Hillary's earlier conjured tragedies: the 3AM phone call. We can now look at it from the vantage point of having somehow survived these two months without a nuclear terrorist event.

Hillary plays herself in that Bush league ad-fear-tisement, trying to show what it would look like if she actually did have the experience she claims Obama doesn't have. The commercial promised that she'd be awake, dressed, lit, made-up, and on the phone keeping our little blonde children safe, whereas Obama... well, who knows, because he -never having been First Lady- just doesn't have the experience we need. Hillary's more truthful story would have sounded like this:"

hilary is the scary one..whose idea was that "3am ad"..bil's?

"Which brings us to Hillary's recent description of what she would do if Iran launched a nuclear attack on Israel. Given that Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons and is not at all likely to attack Israel, she could have rejected the question. But instead, in true Cheney style, she pledged "massive retaliation," noting that "we would be able to totally obliterate them."



hilary's working hard for the military complex and you can sure those *uckers want her or mccain as their spokespimp.
