MSNBC.com Bemoans 'National Pastime' of Mocking Hillary Clinton

"Why is humor at the expense of Hillary Clinton something of a national pastime now?" laments the subheader to a teaser headline on MSNBC.com's front page today, "Why comics have a field day with Hillary."

In the story itself, MSNBC's Adam Howard complaints that Hillary is the victim of "sexism" and cartoonish caricatures of her character, rather than on "facts" (emphasis mine):

The former first lady and current 2016 presidential candidate is depicted here and in virtually every other American comedy routine as a scheming careerist who sees her husband’s rise to power as little more than a springboard for her own ambition. It’s a compelling comedic conceit, albeit one largely based on public projections instead of facts. Despite the inherent sexism in virtually all the spoofs, the parodies have endured because they are often quite funny and voters may suspect they contain a kernel of truth.

Mrs. Clinton in a nutshell.

"...voters may suspect they contain a kernel of truth."

The author conveniently fails to mention that the kernel of truth is the size of the State of Texas.

I hope not, but it depends on what nominee the RINO party and the MSM force down the publics throat. That’s why I was saying Ted Cruz or any conservative who runs should do so as an independent because if they run as a Republican, the RINO party and the MSM is going to do everything they possibly can to destroy him. I mean do we even have to guess out will come the hired whores lying that they had affairs with Cruz and/or were sexually harassed by him? Then once Cruz drops out they will insert the RINO like Jeb Bush, promote him like crazy till he is nominated then bash the hell out of him to insure Hitlery wins. I think if a conservative runs as an independent and just obliterates the RINO and Hitlery in debates then we have a chance.

Cruz isn't going anywhere but to the top tier of Pub candidates.

He'll be there big and strong, especially with the bankroll he's accumulating from small donations from little guys like me.

If you don’t like Obama it’s racism.
If you don’t like Hillary it’s sexism.

Hmm.. I see a pattern here.

That's a you problem, MSNBC.

The way that Hillary Clinton has run her campaign so far has made it very easy for non-Leftists to ridicule her, to say the least.

Yeah - why do folks seem to recognize how terrible a person she is and insist on spreading those “inconvenient truths” about her.....why can’t everyone be like the MSM and turn the deaf ear and blind eye to give her an opportunity to spread the evil that lurks within her?

Governor Palin, please pick up the courtesy phone. Adam Howard is ready to issue his apology to you on behalf of the MSM's behavior for the last seven years.
