Chuck Toad's Comment on HRC Makes Me Want to Puke

On NBC Propaganda News tonight Toad said part of Hillary's problem of being out of touch with common folk is she has been been in a Secret Service bubble for the past 22 years.

Hey Toad, maybe she wants to stay out of touch with Wingnuts like this.

snip:

At least one GOP official in Arkansas thinks Hillary Clinton would receive a rather chilly welcome as a 2016 presidential candidate in her adoptive home state.

"She'd probably get shot at the state line," 2nd Congressional District party chairman Johnny Rhoda told U.S. News. When pressed that Clinton would likely still enjoy some level of affection in the state where her husband Bill served as governor for 10-plus years, Rhoda held firm.


Toad is beyond worthless.

Like every other PRESSTITUE in the mainstream media, Chuck U Todd regurgitates every talking point handed to him from Norquist and Frank Luntz.

Face it, Hillary has been in not only a Secret Service bubble, but deeply inside the 'governing class' bubble for forty years.

Show me where she has shown any demonstrable empathy for poor and working class Americans in the last decade.

Maybe she ought to do some Tom Harken-type work days, doing the job of an average American for a shift in order to start understanding what it is like to be one of us.

I'd love to see Hillary wiping down McDonalds tables for eight hours ... ha!

than what some on air talent bleated out. I am really sort of displeased seeing Rhoda's filth demoted and Todd's comment put as the leading priority.

the bar for republicans is so low cause literally HUNDREDS of ass wipes like this clown have said the same thing ... They get away with it cause they RELENTLESSLY push the bar on these things.

And, as some have increasingly noted, the whole NRA thing is so strong in great part because of the intimidation factor.

7. And Rhoda has since resigned.

That doesn't change what he said, but it does show there was pressure enough to remove him from his position.

A local Arkansas GOP official who recently said that Hillary Clinton would “probably get shot at the state line,” if she runs for president in 2016 resigned from his post today after facing criticism for his remark.

The official, Johnny Rhoda, who chaired the state Republican Party organization in Arkansas’ 2nd Congressional District, stepped down today, the chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party told ABC affiliate KATV.

(SNIP)

It all started when U.S. News reporter David Catanese asked Rhoda about Clinton’s prospects in Arkansas as a potential 2016 presidential candidate.

“She’d probably get shot at the state line,” Rhoda said, according to the U.S. News interview, adding: “Nobody has any affection for her.”

9. Does this idiot know the kinds of threats that she has been under since the 90s?

Other than the Obamas, there's no other presidential couple who is under more danger of an attack than the Clintons.

10. I guess one of my main concerns for her running are the amount of wingnut threats she faces.

that the SS asked her to wear a bullet proof vest under her clothing before appearing at some of the events that she attended to promote the plan. When she was promoting "It Takes a Village", she wasn't allowed to use commercial planes for the same reason. Hillary always shrugs the issue of safety. She listens to the SS, but doesn't obsesses over it. I remember Wolf Blitzer writing that he was nervous for her when she went to Tahrir Square as SOS right after the uprising.

Like the Carters and Nancy Reagan. They all get SS protection. Todd is a tool.
