Babygate!!

Postby Bombadil » Tue Apr 22, 2014 4:07 pm

The ever-scheming Clintons have devised a spectacular new means of grasping power in their lizard-like quest for ultimate control. In engineering a baby for their daughter - Chelsea Clinton - surely they've stooped to new political lows.

Yet wait, the first signs of resistance are at hand, those brave warriors of opinion who refuse to have the wool pulled over their eyes. Already the flaws in this despicable plan are being aired.

1. How can Hillary Clinton run on a platform of aborting all foetus's when her own daughter is having a baby..

"It's no secret that the Clintons support abortion," intoned an editorial in the Christian Post sorrowfully. "But when it's their own grandchild, it appears the Clintons see things differently. No talk of a non-person foetus, only of a child."


2. Or.. forcing a child to have a baby just in time for the election?

Next came the new birthers who saw not the happy miracle of life but mere campaigning. Newsmax's Steve Malzberg kicked off proceedings nicely with the statement: "When I say [the pregnancy is] staged I have to believe she's pregnant, if she says she's pregnant. But what great timing! God answered Hillary Clinton's prayers and she's going to have the prop of being a new grandma while she runs for president."


3. Or.. ha ha.. really? Being a grandmother AND a president at the same time? Just not possible.

"President or grandmother?" asked Charlie Rose..
On NBC, David Gregory fretted over whether Clinton's impending grandmotherhood will "factor into" her decision to run.
"Perhaps it's sexist even to ask the question," began an editorial in the Christian Science Monitor, promisingly. "If we had to guess, we'd say that Hillary Clinton will be a tad less interested in running for president now that she's about to be a grandmother."


I'm sure Mitt Romney, with his 28 grandchildren, will sympathise knowing that this single fact had no bearing on his candidacy whatsover was the sole cause of his downfall.

Surely our commentators cannot be alone, what reasons can the wise minds of NSG perceive as the pernicious scheme behind this new political act by the Clintons?

Mieh. I don't see the problem. It's great for her to have grandkids and kids and stuff!

The only reason this is kicking up a fuss is because Republicans are playing "Everybody Hates Clinton." See Fox News' Bill O'Reilly and his stunningly sexist remarks about Clinton being a weak-kneed girl who'll lead the US to its doom.

If this isn't someone's campaign slogan, I will be very disappointed. Possibly combined with poorly-photoshopped images of her with a Hitler mustache.

Because Obama's on his last term and short of Alex Jones hallucinating that he's trying to extend or abolish term limits the right wing can't bitch about him more than they already are.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Time for serious debate people, or the Mods will shut this down..

Is it possible for a woman - a woman!!?? - to be capable of:

1. Baking cookies
2. Knitting scarves
3. Getting slowly sozzled on gin & tonic from 11am on..

..AND be president?

Because, aside from the first two, that's what my grandmother did and no way could she be president,

Have to say, this is my fav. What's next: "I'm sorry, you clearly do not support a self defense as you are not running around shooting everyone!... HYPOCRITE!"

You really should've kept going. You missed the "granny state" line and that's the best part of this thread!

I see a great future in political commentary ahead of you.

EDIT: I understand time is fleeting and precious but the linked article is more about the prism of gender in which Hillary is framed, likely by both right and left to be fair.

He is saying the Christian god supports Hillary's bid for president? That's quite an endorsement.
