Chelsea Clinton: Republican Hate Speech Is "Far More Troubling" Than Attacks On My Parents
Cosmopolitan ^

Posted on 02/01/2016 10:38:49 AM PST by bryan999

Donald Trump has called your dad an abuser of women, and your mom his enabler. What do you think of his attacks on your parents?

I find what Donald Trump — and many of the Republicans, because it's not only Mr. Trump — say about Americans far more troubling than what he says about my parents. And people have been attacking my parents my whole life, so maybe I am just inured to that, but I tend to think that people who are at the forefront of progress do attract more negative attention from those who want to protect the status quo.

But what I have found surprising and really disturbing in this election cycle is the broad-based misogyny and sexism and racism and Islamophobia and jingoism and homophobia and anti-immigrant rhetoric. All of that is coming out from the Republican side. That somehow has become normalized because it's now just so common, not only [for] Mr. Trump, but for other candidates to say things that I think are so fundamentally un-American. To call into the question the right of any person who has chosen to come to our country with the intent of working hard and making a contribution and wants a chance at the American Dream, to somehow say that that person disqualifies from being here because of the country they come from, their sexual orientation, or the religion they adhere to — that's what I find far more troubling, and I find that troubling because that does seem to have become unexceptional in a really perverse way. The hate speech that has somehow become one of the main calling cards of Republicans, I find really, really troubling.

Yeah, when the bleep are we going to finally get the truth out about Webb Hubbell and Chelsea? I’m actually going to assume never!

Can’t wait for these disgusting Clintons to finally be gone!!!

Well, she's not entirely stupid. She at least has the ability to learn some of the Left’s hateful tactics:

5. Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It's irrational. It's infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions

10.The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.

13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

“To call into the question the right of any person who has chosen to come to our country with the intent of working hard and making a contribution and wants a chance at the American Dream�€

Does she want several BILLION people to be let into the US if they are willing to work?

That may be what you get.

A kid like her who has been rich all her life doesn't understand that most Americans need to work and giving our jobs to illegal foreigners is not right. Especially during a period of high unemployment.

Then-US Sen Clinton and US Sen Jon Corzine. Corzine was fresh out of Goldman Sachs
executive suite. Remember, Wall Street makes money disappear faster than a cream puff at a
Weight Watchers weigh-in.

====================================================

Chelsea and hubby Marc Mezvinsky live in this $10 million condo.

Chelsea's husband runs a hedge fund that gained access to investors w/ ties to the Clintons and Goldman Sachs---even as reports surfaced that Mezvinsky's hedge fund had "underwhelming" returns.

The WSJ reports extensively on the fund's underperformance since its inception. Also reported was Mezvinsky's mediocre investing and strategizing.

Back in 2011, Mezvinsky, now 37, and two former Goldman Sachs colleagues, Bennett Grau and Mark Mallon, began raising money for Mezvinsky's Eaglevale Partners LP hedge fund.

Some of Eaglevale's investors included Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. Blankfein, a slavish Democrat supporter, said he had "always been a fan of Hillary Clinton."

It must be hard for her going through life her knowing at least 14 women have come forward publicly saying her father raped or sexually assaulted them?

Was bedeutet “hate speech”?

To properly understand, we have to go back to the Nazi applications of what would today be called “hate speech”, i.e., the propaganda used against the “Untermensch”, the sub-humans into which they collectively put all “non-Aryan” people.

Now, there are certainly some parts of the oligarchy that wish to put the American “untermensch” into some racially divided box, and they succeeded for years in convincing a goodly part of the electorate, that it was somehow “Bush’s fault”.

But when the oligarchy has control of information distribution, the also control the language, and what is actually only an accurate description of failure or malfeasance, is made out to be an attack, not merely on the on the specifics of the policy, but on the person who instituted it, and everybody that supported it, long after the deficiencies of that particular policy were there for all to see.

But failure needs to be called out and exposed, regardless of the status of the inept and incompetent authors of that mischief.

She has Hillarys eyes, nose, and chipmunk cheeks but that mouth and teeth. No idea where they come from. She also has grapefruit skin. Dam, the girl is ugly!

It's telling that Cosmo decided to put "Far More Troubling" in quotation marks instead of "Hate Speech".

They're in the tank.

Chelsea (Webb's daughter) will haunt us for years, politically.

She just wants to invoke those words to gain support for silencing critics.

When someone rushes to label someone as being guilty of:

* harassment
* racism
* hate speech
* misogyny
* sexism
* islamophobic
* (or similar)

...they are a leftist trying to get others to help silence the targeted individual(s).
