Defending Hillary
Dec 5, 2007 Political
As anyone who reads this blog knows, I cannot stand Hillary Clinton. I have never met her and yet I have this genuine hatred for her and all she stands for. Not only does she rub me the wrong way but her habit of lying and manipulating is off putting and in my mind she is Satan in the flesh. However, on the rare occasion that I find she is being treated unfairly or that something is not fair I feel that I should weigh in on the side of what is right.
There is a story in The Politico that discusses an email sent by a Clinton staffer to some number of other staffers. One of the recipients replied that it was racist and disgusting and that was all that was done. The email in question is about Obama and his supposed Muslim connections. The email, which has circulated for years, is about Obama being a covert Muslim who will bring Islam to America. Though I personally do not trust Obama the email has been debunked quite some time ago. Besides, if he turned out to be a covert Muslim he could not get much done without the approval of Congress and he might find America looking to impeach him. Regardless, the email was sent and now there is some question as to whether this was deliberate. For the record, The Politico is just reporting on the story.
I do not know if this was a deliberate attempt by people in the campaign and I do not know if Hillary was aware of it. What I do know is that it was discovered and that the person who originally sent it has resigned. While it happened in her campaign it is impossible for her to know about every email and what is done at the lowest levels around the country. It happened and was taken care of. I think Hillary would say the same thing. I only wish she and her fellow Democrats used this kind of fairness when they ignore their duties (like passing a budget and fixing the AMT) to launch countless investigations that rarely pan out and waste time.
Having said all this, we might learn at some time in the future that Hillary had something to do with the whole thing or that she knew about it well before it was made public (like Bill’s countless affairs including one involving a blue dress). If that is the case she will be done. It would be her scream so to speak and it would cause damage from which she could not recover.
Regardless, this could not have come at a worse time. Hillary just stated she was going to get dirty and go after her opponents and indicated that it would be “fun.” Now wonder there are some who think she had a hand in it.
I wonder if it is “fun” right now over at Camp Hillary?
