In another bad sign for Hillary Clinton's sinking campaign, the blogosphere is all over her racially divisive comments to USA Today about her white support, & the verdict is not good. The broad consensus is that Hillary's comments are clearly deepening rifts in the Democratic party & hurting the party's chances in the fall. Are ya listening supers?------------This is ridiculous. And I've been saying it for AGES now. Hillary Clinton continually proves herself to be rude, presumtuous, stupid, and deceitful, and yet she still has supporters? How does this happen? I really want one of her supporters to explain this to me, because so far, there are only two things positive I can think of to say about Clinton: 1. She has marginally more experience than Obama, and 2. She has nothing to do with Rev. Wright. And I can strike down both those with evidence, as well as common sense. I'll focus on the common sense first.Clinton has experience. Yes, she does. But the problem with experience is that it's only useful if you know how to use it properly; to learn from your mistake experiences, and to build upon your successful experiences. Just look at current president Gee Dubya, he's got loads of experience, and he still fucks everything up. And I know what you're thinking, how do we know that Clinton will fuck up? I mean, she's not as bad as Bush, right? Wrong. She has at some point or another stated that she thinks we should bomb Iraq, that guns should not be controlled, that the war was necessary, and has managed to go in the exact opposite direction the very next day. Also, this whole current PR slip-up just screams Bush all over. And don't get me started on her incredible spending powers, or her lies about Bosnia...I'm sure some of these are taken out of context, but it can't ALL be contextual problems. Plus, she surrounds herself with incompetent people who seem to think that democratic primaries work the same way as the Republican ones. They don't.And who's to say Obama will do better? He may have the ability to use experience, but without the experience, he's useless, right? Again, wrong. Obama has less experience than Clinton. Let me repeat that: LESS experience than Clinton. This means he has experience, just not as much. And that experience alone has made his campaign one of the most powerful in years! I mean, to be not only the first black candidate, and to have that horrid middle name, and even be one of the youngest candidates in decades, yet he still manages to overcome all that and knock out the big league veteran players! If his ability to lead can do that, just imagine what it'll do for the nation. And still, there hasn't even been one successful attempt to take anything he said out of context or anything...Even the Rev. Wright issue (talk about that more in a moment) was handled masterfully. He's been touted as a 'rockstar', who's all talk and no bite, but realize, people that politics are 90% talk. And even if you disagree with that (That is technically just an opinion), talk alone won't get him this far. He's written an entire book outlining his plans to change America as the President (Including how he plans to go about initiating them), he's done work to clean up the south side of Chicago, he was one of the first people who was against the war in Iraq from the beginning (Clinton was pro-war at first), he has been one of the most powerful and consistent politicians in this country. The only reason you don't hear his name as often as Clinton's is because Clinton was banging a previous president...That does wonders for press coverage. Experience would be a boon, no doubt, but if he can go this far without it, that's reason enough to elect him. I prefer results over speculation, tyvm.And now onto the Wright issue. Come ON, people. Get over it. He has apologized for Reverend Wright, and said several times that he disagrees with it. One of the commentators on the attached digg article said "These comments are considered offensive but Rev. Wright's BS isn't?" Nobody is arguing that Reverend Wright's comments aren't offensive. They most definitely are...In fact, I agree with what he was trying to say, and I was STILL offended. Saying "God Damn America" is going way too far in my book. But Obama has done all that he honestly can to make up for it. He's said sorry, and said that he doesn't do everything his preacher tells him to. And if you think about it, it makes perfect sense--Would you listen to your preacher if he started spewing (allegedly) anti-American propaganda? No, you'd say, "whatever" and either move on with your life or get a new preacher. I've got news for you, America: He won't be his preacher if he makes it to the white house. And besides, what more do you expect him to do? Pretend like he never had anything to do with the guy? Pretend like he didn't know his old preacher was like that? Those are called lies, and frankly, I'm sick of lies. Obama did everything he could to denounce Wright's comments without lying to America, and for that, I commend him.But I have digressed. These comments from Clinton are different from those of Wright's in one major point: A candidate actually said them. Wright is not a candidate, nor will he ever be (hopefully), and Clinton is. If Clinton's old preacher said this, I wouldn't give a shit because that is nothing compared to what Wright said and I don't give a shit about Wright. But it wasn't Clinton's preacher, it wasn't even one of her high-ranking cronies, it was Clinton HERSELF. And I don't think I want a president saying shit like that. It's dumb. And personally, I think dumb people need to GTFO of the country. Not uneducated people, I have no problem with undereducated people...I mean people who are too dumb to know fact from fiction. People like Bush, Clinton, and anyone who thinks the Bible is fact but science isn't. There's a reason for the phrase "scientific fact", and it's not an oxymoron.Since I'm on a pissy tirade, let me just close by saying Obama is NOT a muslim, he is NOT a terrorist, and if you think his name has anything to do with the person inside, you're a retarded douche. I'm done ranting. Seeya.
