Hillary Clinton and the lesbian smear

Times of London ^ | Nov. 27, 2007 | Toby Harnden

[PGR88]

There’s quite a kerfuffle on this side of the Atlantic about a report in the London Times that included the titillating detail that it was being put about that Hillary Clinton was having an affair with her personal aide Huma Abedin.

Allegations of a lesbian affair were made anonymously

It was all in the context of South Carolina supposedly being the “foulest swamp of electoral dirty tricks in America” but Matt Drudge picked up on the story headlined “Snarls, smears and innuendo for Hillary Clinton” and left The Times itself looking distinctly sleazy. Credit for that goes principally to its London staff who illustrated the piece with a gratuitous full length picture of Hillary with Miss Abedin – which left the protestations that the paper was simply reporting dirty tricks sounding hollow, if not like sanctimonious hypocrisy. So what are the lessons from the debacle?

Lesbian Smear

Ew, that just doesn't sound right.

[Bommer]

Honestly, I don’t really think its a smear. Explains why Bill is the way he is!

[DManA]

I couldn’t care less about late night couplings. I AM concerned about what sweet Islamic nothings this woman is whispering into Hill’s ear.

[Red Badger]

It’s a bunch of PAP.........

[Red Badger]

Explains why Bill is the way he is!

That's why Bill is so easily forgiven but the American people. Not that he's so good, but that SHE's soooooo bad!............

[Broker]

She is way beyond smear. Did they spell her name right?

[wideawake]

How can being associated with a lifestyle choice so noble that it inspires parades known as "pride marches" be a "smear"?

Clearly she's being complimented on her progressivism.

[driftdiver]

“I AM concerned about what sweet Islamic nothings this woman is whispering into Hill’s ear.”

Hillary is a communist so its a mutual love fest. After law school she interned with communists.

Outstanding commentary by Hugh Fitzgerald on Huma/Hillary here...

Thanks to Hugh, Robert and the terrific posters at jihadwatch.

[jdm]

LOL! I was trying to figure out a way to use that word here. You nailed it!

Lesbian Smear

Ew, that just doesn't sound right.

Maybe a good carpet cleaner would get it out.

this may not be work safe...

Sounds like the Clinton Chinese Mafia War Room Lezbo Eruptions unit is working OT. Smoke meet Fire.

[BenLurkin]

I thought PIAPS is proud to be a lesbian.

[Fresh Wind]

“titillating”

Hehehee.

[Ann Archy]

It’s not the Lesbian part I worry about.....Huma is a MUSLIM from SAUDI ARABIA, and Hillary is anti-American to start with.....I fear for my country if this woman gets to be President.

[MizSterious]

HUH? I thought libs liked lesbianism. So why is this story considered mudslinging? What happened to “I’m gay and I’m proud”? So are they now saying liberals think it’s BAD to be lesbian?

;)

[cake_crumb]

All the warmth and femininity of a lizard, without the plus side of inhabiting an important environmental niche...I wouldn't be surprised if the stories ARE true.

[PLMerite]

Lesbian Smear

“Ew, that just doesn’t sound right.”

How about: “Face like a glazed donut.” ?

With a nod to the Greaseman.

[Redleg Duke]

Good Lord, she is deteriorating!

"I AM concerned about what sweet Islamic nothings this woman is whispering into Hill’s ear."

Urgh, that thought hadn't occurred to me. Thank you. I think.

Many thanks to jihadwatch poster, Abu Lahab, from the Hugh Fitzgerald link I posted above.

Makes me wonder if Hillary’s camp leaked this “lesbian affair” so she can go into victim mode. That’s where she is at her best politically when she is against the ropes.

[The Louiswu]

Why would being called a lesbian be considered a smear? I thought having alternative sexual desires is a badge of honor among libs and dems these days. ShrillHIll courts the deviant sex vote so why wouldn't she want to be considered one of them???

Honestly I wish these people would show some logic.

[ArmstedFragg]

Can’t speak to the truth of the story, but I worked with some of her “closest friends”, and it was a lot like being at a convention of female gym teachers.

[Always Right]

I couldn’t care less about late night couplings. I AM concerned about what sweet Islamic nothings this woman is whispering into Hill’s ear.

That is not her ear she's talking into.

[reagan_fanatic]

A face only a lesbian can love.

[cake_crumb]

"Maybe a good carpet cleaner would get it out."

Argh, argh argh...the imagery!

[cake_crumb]

"Good Lord, she is deteriorating!"

The stale date on her Botox must have gone bye months ago.

[jdm]

NOT GUILTY!!!

[DManA]

Showing a (by their standards) half naked Islamic girl is sure to pacify the 9th century nut jobs.

[North Coast Conservative]

Very good link to a good article on Huma/Hillary

BTTT

[garyhope]

I thought we had a prohibition on photos of Helen Thomas on this site.

Oh wait, that’s not Helen,....

But just as mean, ugly, mean, evil and duplicitous.

[TomGuy]

Makes me wonder if Hillary’s camp leaked this “lesbian affair” so she can go into victim mode.

Yeh. Get it out. Get it over. Before the actual voting starts next year.

[dangus]

That is so immature. Natalie Portman isn’t a Lesbian; she’s just suddenly very cold. (Wonder why?)

[tcostell]

Agreed. What ever it is, she didn’t do it. And if she did, can someone ping me with a link to the video?

[Rb ver. 2.0]

““I AM concerned about what sweet Islamic nothings this woman is whispering into Hill’s ear.””

Huma: “Tell me the codes, dear or I’ll stop”
Hill: “No, don’t stop!”
Huma: “Give me the codes Sweetie..”
Hill: “Ok, they’re on the computer, password is VINCE, Don’t stop!...”

[cake_crumb]

So THIS campaign we’ll be spared the “I have Jewish roots because my aunt’s uncle’s step daughter married a Jewish boy [or whatever it was]”, routine?

[KarlInOhio]

Good Lord, she is deteriorating!

The Wife of Dorian Gray.

All of Bill's sins are reflected in her face (or cankles).

[Iron Munro]

"Good Lord, she is deteriorating!"

She looks quite happy and full of anticipation in this photo.

[cake_crumb]

"But just as mean, ugly, mean, evil and duplicitous."

It's worse. It's managed to get itself elected in New York, where it will never be unelected. Herself could commit cold blodded murder in broad daylight in front of a thousand witnesses with video cams and NY voters will continue to vote for Herself.

[null and void]

What do you have against lizards?

[AppyPappy]

I can’t believe anyone in the MSM is even talking about this. It must be coming straight from the Clinton camp.

[beaversmom]

Bill’s the way he is because that’s the way he is. He’s ia lecher in his own right.

[cake_crumb]

Not guilty of Muslim extremism? Probably, in that dress...or not guilty of having an affair with Hillary? “There’s no accounting for taste”, they say.

[Disciplinemisanthropy]

shes looking TOO dead ahead, which leads me to believe shes using her peripherals for something.

[gunservative]

I can’t see Hillary having sex with anything, except maybe Webb Hubbell.

[cake_crumb]

Jeepers, she sure does look err...excited, doesn’t she?
