Politico Staffers Begin Circling Wagons to Ensure Hillary's Not Vetted
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | September 24, 2014 | John Nolte

Brace yourselves. It looks as though it's going to be 2008 and 2012 all over again -- where a 50 year-old GOP haircut and a 35 year-old GOP rock are big news but Hillary will get a sweet mainstream media pass when it comes to vetting her past and formative years. Worse, any attempt by New Media to do the vetting the MSM won't will be met with equal parts wrist-flicking and mockery.

Oh, and once again, Politico will lead the Democratic defense.

The tweets below are written by high-level Politico staffers. Politico presents itself as an objective news outlet and these three staffers present themselves as objective journalists. Blake Hounshell is a Politico editor. Glenn Thrush and Ben White are reporters.

What they're responding to is the news, first reported by the Washington Free Beacon, that as a college student Hillary Clinton corresponded with Saul Alinsky, the godfather of community organizing, whose primary breakthrough was teaching young democratic socialists how to succeed in upending the American economic system through lying, deceit, and the democratic process. Alinsky was a Marxist who also influenced a young Barack Obama.

If you want to argue that what a 21 year-old Hillary Rodham believed matters little some 45 years later, fine. But these top Politico staffers aren't arguing that. They are using the political tactic of mockery to downplay, dismiss, and discourage others from vetting yet another Democrat presidential contender....

This man is in PRISON in Egypt for inciting violence, murder and other terrorist acts:

There is also evidence that the Muslim Brotherhood was involved in the terrorist attack on Benghazi.. When will Hillary be questioned about her support for Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood?

I'm not sure they call that part of her anatomy an "office."

But I could be wrong.

Clinton is dead in the water if she is vetted. Make haste to the vetting.

This would really be so easy to garble up, if anyone on the GOP side had any brains.

All they need to do is to find some old GOPe candidate and run ads saying “Hey, no fair, although I wasn’t quite the grifter she was, I screwed things up every bit as badly as HRC and the voters kicked my ass out of town!”

There is no difference between Republicans and Democrats. Don’t believe me, just ask the journalists.

“Clinton is dead in the water if she is vetted. Make haste to the vetting.”

“Vetting”?

Methinks “beheading” would be much more beneficial to the country, the world, and the multiverse.

A more worthless POS female existeth not.

Oops, forgot about Pelosi, oh yea, and Warren, and Ginsburg and Babba Wa-Wa and and and (had to delate the next 5,000 names on the liberal bimbo list).

Now that Politico’s defense of the Kenyan is winding down, it’s time for them to shift their defense system over to Slick Willie’s wife.

8 years of “you’re racist” under Obama followed by 8 years of “you’re sexist” under Hillary. Same candidate, different protected class. The female voter gave us both.

Just like 0bozo. The only president we ever had that nobody knows who he is and what’s his background. Even Moochelle is kinda unknown ... somewhat ...

Methinks Glenn Thrush doesn’t like any kind of detailed examination of Fat Bottomed Girl’s past.

Too bad, you two bit HACK!

Who really wants to "vet" her? Not me.

If America chooses to be represented by her or someone like her in 2016, I'll go from "buy American" to "boycott American".

But I will make an exception for products made in red states, or for companies that promote Conservative values.
