In an interview in yesterday's Washington Post, Hillary Clinton said she had contributed to the country's mood of bitter partisanship and wants to "put an end to it." The senator hedged her words for future revision by referring to the problem throughout the interview only as "it."
Thus, she spoke of "having gone through it, having been on the receiving end of it and in campaigns that were hard fought maybe on the giving end of it . . ." When the reporters pressed her to explain her views on polarization, she said: "I've talked about it a lot, and I think I will continue to talk about it in a lot of different ways."
It's a start. I would like to put a question to the senator: Would you defend Rush Limbaugh's speech rights against the pressure that was brought upon him on the floor of the Senate by your colleagues Harry Reid and Ken Salazar? Colorado's Sen. Salazar went so far last week as to say he'd support a Senate vote to "censure" Mr. Limbaugh. Rhymes with censor.
When Sen. Reid attacked Mr. Limbaugh on the floor of the Senate, some felt that Mr. Limbaugh was a big boy and perfectly capable of defending himself. I'm not so sure. If Mr. Limbaugh and his critics at Media Matters want to have a street fight, that's their business. But Sens. Reid and Salazar aren't just a couple of opinionated guys; they are agents of state authority, and they were leaning hard on Mr. Limbaugh. If you are Media Matters, if you are a man or woman of the Left, does state pressure on someone's political speech discomfort you? Or is it a welcome, even defensible, repression of harmful right-wing speech?

“hillary! talks about ‘it’”
“it”? they must be talking about the blatant obnoxiousness of the revolutionary socialists in congress whose psychosis is called “fighting for the children”.
(they’re not fighting for anything except power built upon the bodies of millions of aborted children.)
the tragedy is that more than half of the “american electorate” is going to vote for democrat treachery.
Lil’ Mizz Bill Clinton’s got a trial of broken people and bodies over a coupla decades long to get over “it”......
Lil’ Mizz Bill Clinton’s got a trail of broken people and bodies over a coupla decades long to get over “it”......
So she’s going to close down the Clinton Chinese Mafia War Room??
Pray for W and Our Troops
I will grant her the humanity to feel from time to time a weariness from ceaseless and remorseless partisan warfare. But I would not trust her and would never expect her to stay her hand.
“it”...kindalike “is”?
I wish she would just stop talking.
Depends on the meaning of “it”, right “Let’s have a conversation”, “Let’s chat”?
Any senator who launches a pre-meditated attack on any innocent American should resign.
“...That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
So is she going to put “it” in her testicle lock box?
Hillary already thinks of herself as the next President. She knows very well that conservatives could sink her legacy, which she is already constructing as the USA’s first woman president.
So we can expect many more of these calls for Kumbaya from her and her cohorts, such as her lapdog Bob Beckel on Fox this morning. To Democrats, bipartisanship always means giving up one’s opposition to the socialist agenda. If conservatives fall for this over and over, they are the epitome of the old saying about insanity.
They’ve got some nerve talking about common ground and ending the bickering. Almost every statement they make has to include shots at the far right, extreme right, intolerant right, vicious right wing attacks, Republicans want children to get sick, and you know the rest of the nonsense. But of course WE are the bad guys?? What a joke.
She will patronize and say whatever she thinks will get her another vote, and only be believed by fools who don't understand she's the devil re-incarnated.
To trust ANYTHING she says is to drink the Klinton Kool-Aid.
So this is what her handlers have told her to say?
America makes no deals with satan or his daughter!
LLS
Hillary already thinks of herself as the next President. She knows very well that conservatives could sink her legacy, which she is already constructing as the USA’s first woman president.
If she becomes president, there will be no history to look back on, because it will be the end of this country.
The real "IT" is how could your husband be doing IT behind your back and you not know what the whole country knew. How can you deal with foreign dictators and not be fooled?
Her idea of ending partisan bickering is to shut down the other side so that only their views are heard...after all it's only the "vast right-wing conspiracy" and assorted racists, sexists, homophobes and rich white men that don't agree with them. If they can get "hate crimes" legislation through then it can become a criminal offense to criticize any of their sacred cows.
“It” reminds me of Steven King’s rendering, but also the evil of Madeleine L’Engle’s novel, “A Wrinkle in Time”. In either case, ‘it’ is not far removed from what I imagine Hillary Rodham Clinton to be. IT. She is IT. Charles Wallace, the innocent savant in ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ fell under the spell of IT, despite his natural superior intellect. It was love that came to the rescue and saved him in the end. Hillary with her FBI records and White Water records scattered around the Whitehouse, combined with her selective memory, remind me of IT. We’ll all be bouncing balls in unison if IT gets elected.
Rut ro, someone call the Adams family, hildebeast is coming after cousin IT!
Contributed to it? She practically invented it.
WSJ’s Henninger lays out the HRC gameplan to attack Free Speech as Intolerant
“It.” That’s half of what Monica had on her grin after anally servicing Hillary’s husband. (Ya think he kissed her afterwards?)
The Clinton’s have DESTROYED good will between the two parties...they have POISONED the well.
Yup. From the people who brought us the “Nuts and Sluts” defense to handle Bill’s numerous female problems.
Astute observations (yeah I saw Beckel and Thomas on FOX this moring).
Witness the attacks going on daily against Coulter, Limbaugh, etc., by their anti-truth, anti-life collectives.
The power of propaganda. The methods of the power hungry and their enablers.
It’s back to the phony “can’t we all get along”, BS.
Any conservative who refuses to roll over and play dead for what the nanny-state ‘RATS and RINOS want to FORCE down our throats will be called a “polarizer”, and lumped in with the Leftist “fringe”.
Of course, Soros (who funds Hillary and her like-minded Marxist / Stalinist supporters) is only considered “fringe” by the “polarizers”.
It looks as if Cal Thomas and that ‘RAT operative whats-his-face have written a “Can’t we all just get along” book together denouncing “polarizers”.
Yeah, Cal - the truth IS polarizing. Get a clue. Stop falling for the BS.
All Mrs. Clinton has to do is agree to adopt Newt Gingrich's "American Future" platform of ideas, and he'll get rolled again. Don't be surprised if he winds up supporting her. I won't.
"Intolerant and polarizing".
Get ready to see that word, "polarizing" get applied to conservatives as they are being demonized as "the fringe".
We had better start getting ready to head that BULL off at the pass. NOW.
Maybe "it" refers to freedom... or the US as a nation... or free market capitalism... or reporters' questions that aren't flattering... or...
It - Genesis (From The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway)
When it’s cold, it comes slow.
it is warm, just watch it grow.
-all around me.
it is here. it is now.
Just a little bit of it can bring you up or down.
Like the supper it is cooking in your hometown.
it is chicken, it is eggs,
it is in between your legs.
it is walking on the moon,
leaving your cocoon.
it is the jigsaw, it is purple haze.
it never stays in one place, but it’s not a passing phase,
it is in the single’s bar, in the distance of the face,
it is in between the cages, it is always in a space
it is here. it is now.
Any rock can be made to roll,
If you’ve enough of it to pay the toll.
it has no home in words or goal,
Not even in your favourite hole.
it is the hope for the dope.
When you ride the horse without a hoof.
it is shaken, not stirred;
Cocktails on the roof.
When you eat right fru-it you see everything alive,
it is inside spirit, with enough grit to survive
If you think it’s pretentious, you’ve been taken for a ride.
Look across the mirror, before you chose decide
it is here. it is now
it is Real. it is Rael
‘cos it’s only knock and knowall, but I like it.
Does ‘it’ have a bend in it?
I don’t even want to go there TE. That Thing is a demon.
She’s just doing what her hero Saul Alinsky suggested and has been since entering national politics.
The bitter bi-partisanship in this country can be laid directly at her feet.
-PJ
Hey, Hillary: you’d better put some ice on “it”.
Never even thought about Hillary! and It together in the same sentence. Don’t even want to, now more than ever.
“if she becomes president, there will be no history to look back on, because it will be the end of this country.”
the “american electorate” will elect her because more than fifty percent of them love her “fighting” demeanor. the end of this country will be ushered in willingly.
"We let no one suffer. It is so much kinder simply to annihilate anyone who is ill. Nobody has weeks and weeks of runny noses and sore throats. Rather than endure such discomfort they are simply put to sleep."
Sounds like Hillarycare to me.
Or try this:
"That's the little boy we saw this afternoon," Calvin said sharply, "the little boy who wasn't bouncing the ball like the others."
Charles Wallace giggled again. "Yes. Every once in a while there's a little trouble with cooperation, but it's easily taken care of. After today he'll never desire to deviate again."
Cheers!
