MURRAY: I think Jonathan Haidt, the social psychologist who started the academy was right. He was right. He had an interview a few weeks ago where he said the 'Deplorables' comment by Hillary Clinton changed the history of the world, and he may very well be right. That one comment by itself may have swung enough votes, it certainly was emblematic of the disdain with which the New Upper Class looks at mainstream Americans.

More repulsive than calling us “Deplorable” is the fact that she also called us “Irredeemable”. This is a quality that can only be designated by our Lord. This is proof that she is evil incarnate.

Re: New Upper Class

I think that is a very appropriate term for the political elites, particularly on the Left, but also on the so-called moderate Right.

[Ancesthntr]

I bought a “Deplorable” hat and a shirt reading “Team Deplorable 2016 - Trump for President” just so that I would never forget, and to constantly remind everyone else, about the contempt that Hillary Clinton specifically, and the Leftist Elites in general, has for ordinary Americans and their simple and honest desire to be left alone to live our lives as WE see fit.

Yeah, Murray is right: that one comment changed world history. Thank you, o merciful G-d, for letting that witch’s innermost thoughts escape from her mouth and be recorded.

[relictele]

And never let us forget that her Waterloo began during a speech before an LGBT group ie a roomful of people who are routinely advertised as tolerant and open-minded.

Despite their self-issued reputation, they booed and hissed and applauded wildly as Hillary derided at least 50% of the population for the smug, miniscule 2% of the population.

Math is hard. Especially for Shrunken Head Barbie.

Notice how none of these “scholars” ever mention the fact that she got caught cheating during the debates as having any effect on the outcome of the election?

The very fact Hillary thought she could disdain the middle class w/ complete impunity
was really astounding. Methinks she was riding on her earlier snot-nosed VRWC comments.

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

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE---the patented "Clintons Save Their A** ACT"

One Clinton lies.....

"I never had sexual relations with that woman...Miss Lewinsky."

And the other Clinton swears to it.

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

VINTAGE TIME COVER The Clintons leave the WH
arm-in-arm after Bill got lewinskied. Plotting to exploit
Bill's BJ for votes, the Clintons' political apparat never faltered.

Hillary later went on network TV all decked out in virginal pearls,
denying everything, blaming Billy's B/J on "an invention of a VRWC."

Bill later admitted to it, was impeached, and disbarred.
He had to pay Paula Jones 800,000 dollars.

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

Did the "kindly sensitive" Clintons tell Chelsea the reason she got hustled off (in that " Clinton solidarity pose" on the vintage TIME cover?) Did mom and dad tell her daddy got a BJ in the Oval office? Did they explain the details of a BJ to Chelsea?

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

(SMIRK) Maybe Chelsea was not allowed to read the Daily News?

Nah, the comment was just another peek behind Hillary's wall.

Hillary did not lose because of a few snarky comments, she lost because of the meta-anima (with apologies for making up a word) of being an arrogant, compulsive liar and unrepentant thief and of questionable character and even sanity, all that she provided over decades.

Her very name is now a metaphor for a wholly distrustful person. Hillary lost because indys and Dems find her distrustful and downright scary.

[Zarro]

I do think that the comment damaged her, but she was ripe with other negatives. I am not sure that the “deplorable” comment was “the one”. I found her other actions far more off-putting. Her rant about why she wasn’t 50 points ahead would have scared me off if I weren’t already not voting for her, for example. It reeked of insanity, not just narcissism.

[wrench]

Her face-dive into her limo at the 9/11 service had more to do with it, IMHO.

Had it not been for that cellphone video, we would be saying “Madam President”.

Hillary's "Deplorables" Comment

The underlying maxim here is that whenever anyone on the Left dares to say what they really think about their fellow Americans on the Right -- what they really think about anything, for that matter -- it exposes their hatred and ingratitude and is most always destructive to their plans.

As Dennis Prager so brilliantly observed: "Truth is not a value to the Left" (to which I would add: Neither is reality.)

[gunnyg]

Right On Target!

Dick Gaines: AMERICAN! (Not AINO)
RED: Retired, Extreme, DEPLORABLE!
Gunny G @ Planet WTF!

Semper President TRUMP!

And one more thing — the problem is, Hillary isn’t really “upper class” but she rubs elbows with her friend Lady Lynn de Rothschild (a Jersey girl who marries a “Sir” Rothschild, of the banking fortune) and other shoots enough to start believing she is one.

Hillary is a middle-class Chicago girl who married below herself— (meaning, to a philanderer who doesn’t love her — he probably is some illegitimate Bush or Kennedy or something) and has been stuck trying to prove to herself and others ever since that it was worth it by profiting financially. She is not upper crust enough to talk like she is!!

[DaveA37]

“...that one comment changed world history.”........

I certainly have no problem remembering what she said, the problem is she made the statement on behalf of ALL demodummies. There is no free speech unless they say so.

[Crucial]

Hillary really did step in it. After all those murders, she was done in by a slip of the tongue. Of course, you have to give us deplorables credit but she broke the dam, allowing a flood of pent up frustration and righteous anger and patriotism to sweep away her chances.

...it certainly was emblematic of the disdain with which the New Upper Class looks at mainstream Americans...
