How Hillary blew her big moment
nypost.com ^ | July 29, 2016 | John Podhoretz

Well, Hillary Clinton took the stage after four days of Democratic triumph — the party staged what was even to these conservative eyes and ears the best, tightest, most interesting convention of our time — and pretty much stunk up the joint.

I didn’t watch it (yawn) but I thought that Shrillary and her advisers would have the common sense to do everything she seems not to have done. She didn’t need to cater to every ‘Rat interest group that has already been pandered to ad nauseum. She needed to deliver a tight, eloquent, inspirational address that people would want to quote and circulate. I did catch a clip of her angry ranting against Donald Trump and thought that was exactly what she did NOT need in her acceptance speech. Opportunity squandered, for her.....

I saw a woman on Fox who, in post speech analysis, talked about how great the speech and how she would always remember Hilliary’s most memorable line: “America is great because America is good.” No one bothered to tell her that was a quote attributed (plagiarized?)to Alexis de Tocqueville.

Plagiarism?

Yup, seems to be an occupational hazard these days.

And that’s on top of being a liar. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Libs all pointing to this line in Clinton’s speech, saying it is wonderful, just wonderful.

Clinton: “America is great because America is good.”

Alexis deTocqueville: “America is great because America is good..:

Hmmm.
________
It gets better:

“In 1994, Bill Clinton tapped the passage to temper his “No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no” speech in Boston. “I believe fundamentally in the common sense and the essential core goodness of the American people. Don’t forget that Alexis de Tocqueville said a long time ago that America is great because America is good; and if America ever ceases to be good, she will no longer be great.”

It's not plagiarism unless Michelle Obama said it.

Just anecdotal evidence, quick take from people I know, nobody liked her speech. Some people I know are more moderate or liberal than I am, but even they didn’t like it. I’m sure the media loved it, and the Today Show and all of them tomorrow will be having their mediagasm about it.

Media? We have a news media?

I was quite convinced we have a Ministry of Propaganda. Was I wrong?

Very Alinsky, no?

Do the very same thing that is unforgivable if the other side does it.

Increases the outrage factor.

I’ve often said, and I will say again:

A Democrat can kill and eat an infant on live TV, and the media (and the far-left... but I repeat myself) will laud her and tell us the baby had it coming.

A Conservative can sit quietly in a church pew and the media and far-left will call for his impeachment for the crime of loitering.

I watch this guy;

He's a good enough analyst that I watched the whole video.

But he has a face for radio. He needs to become acquainted with the fine ladies of Supercuts.

________

It gets better! Bill Clinton used the same line in 1994, but he gave proper attribution:
“Don’t forget that Alexis de Tocqueville said a long time ago that America is great because America is good; and if America ever ceases to be good, she will no longer be great.” Bill Clinton, 1994, Boston.
http://www.weeklystandard.com/the-tocqueville-fraud/article/8100

Sanders also complained about her lifting lines: :http://observer.com/2016/03/hillary-clintons-blatant-plagarism/

Finally, her “Dark forces threaten to pull us apart” tonight bears some similarity to another Bill Clinton riff about “Dark forces are reshaping the world” or something like that.

I watch every video he does on politics ... two, three .... sometimes 4 a day. Every one is worth listening to .... and he was, early on, a Trump supporter. Ultimately, he supports Trump.

He did a great vid on Pelosi in the last two days and the plight of being a “white male:. On point.

But after watching him, and agreeing for many, many months, I had to look further into his background. i chuckled, but still listen. And, he’s right,he does each video in one yake.

He is a true original.
