Something for the Anti-Clinton Camp to Keep In Mind When You Feel Belittled

[McCamy Taylor]

8. You misunderstand me. You can write anything you want. DU is allowed to distrust YOU

if you phrase your complaints in such a way that they appear to have come out of a GOP talking points memo.

Fun fact: If you Google Hillary Clinton and war hawk you do not get Noam Chomsky or Elizabeth Warren or even Greg Pallast. You get Rand Paul.

What does this mean in practical terms? Any Republican president is 10 times more likely to get us involved in a Middle East war for oil than any Democrat. That's because Democrats hate wars for oil. Is Rand Paul signaling that he supports a Democratic president rather than a Republican? No, he is trying to fuck with the Democratic primary. The GOP is using him in his roll as Libertarian Poster Boy Who Can Say Things That Other Republicans Can't Say in order to roll out one of their Big Lies. So, the GOP labels Clinton a "war hawk" knowing that this will piss off Democratic primary voters. When we move on to the general, the GOP will no longer be calling her a "war hawk." They will call her a commie-Lesbian who married a draft dodger. And, all of a sudden, the same Democrats who swore that she could not wait to start another war will find themselves defending her against opponents that argue that being a woman, she will not have the balls to defend the country in time of crisis.
