Things that won’t go away
Conservative commentator Anna Paulina had her wires crossed on Fox News, and somehow, her Thursday segment only got worse from there.
She was brought on to discuss investigating Hillary Clinton.
Let me interrupt for just a second to ask: why? Why talk on a purported news show about “investigating” Hillary Clinton?
But Paulina opened on the southern border and a bizarre history of century-old legislation that federalizes reservist troops. Another guest tried to quell the confusion before careening back to Clinton’s emails — a favored Fox News topic.
Though his show prompted the discussion about Clinton, host Rick Leventhal said it was incredible that Clinton still captured attention.
“She won’t go away,” Paulina said. “She’s like herpes.”
The rest of the story is about how shocked everyone pretended to be, but that’s where we are now. We call women “herpes” for no particular reason while the president calls Congressional Representatives shit.
I find the fact that they keep bringing Hillary Clinton up and then complaining she won’t go away more offensive than the juvenile “herpes” comment.
I think a lot of people didn’t take “Lock Her Up” seriously, at least people on the left. Most of the people I know dismissed that as overheated rhetoric. They don’t seem to realize that overheated rhetoric can flow from real intent, or that it can build to such a fever pitch that it becomes self-perpetuating and becomes a real goal.
I don’t think Lock Her Up was ever overheated rhetoric. I think it was the angry manifestation of entitled white males (and some females, damn) who saw a chance to be liberated from the horrors of a black presidency only to see their goal nearly snatched away by a woman.
Skeletor, of course you wouldn’t be offended at the idea of Clinton being compared to a venereal disease. Why would you? She’s only a woman, natch; not like she’s a real person who could get his feelings hurt, is it?
Why people who go out of their way to stalk someone think that they have the right to complain that she’s always in their sight is beyond me. Don’t they have any ability to listen to themselves?
It’s perfectly possible to find both offensive.
So no mention of investigating the Princess for the same ‘crime’, I guess.
