Hillary to Obama: You're No JFK (or MLK)

""Today Senator Obama used President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to criticize me," she said, according to ABC News' Eloise Harper. "Basically he compared himself to two of our greatest heroes saying, 'Well, they gave great speeches.' President Kennedy was in the Congress for 14 years. He was a war hero. He was a man of great accomplishments and readiness to be president. Dr Martin Luther King Jr. led a movement. He was gassed, he was beaten, he was jailed. And he gave a speech..."

B. Hussein Obama to The Witch: And you are no Elinor Roosevelt even though both of you are ugly lesgians.

[unspun]

Excellent criticixm of Barak Hussein Obama.

You go, girl!

[Brilliant]

Hillary, you’re no Bill Clinton.

[Soliton]

“This cuts in the witch’s natural base”

She is getting lots of free air time this morning on NBC and MSNBC. All softball questions showing her human side.

Whether Hillary’s emotional erruption was genuine or calculated, it demonstrates another dimension of her character that disqualifies her for the office of President.

[Eroteme]

“I’m running for president because I believe that there is not a contradiction between experience and change.”

Her sound-bite writer should be shot.

She has 5 million young airhead women who have not been polled -— they have cell phones. They are totally unaware of what happened in the 1990s.

The Vagina Voter - nursed on the milk of man-hate since birth. That, and the super-delegates.

Personally, I see all of this campaign as a stage-managed drama, to make Her ascension to power not appear pre-ordained.

[AD from SpringBay]

Unscripted Hillary sucks! She hasn’t said one decent thing since she crashed in Iowa because she wasn’t expecting to come in third. She can’t go with the flow - she has to be handled. It’s one thing to take care of Bill’s rape victims and bimbos - it’s another to be effective in a presidential campaign.

I’m too fastidious to look, but I am wondering how the DU’ers are taking all this.

[mkjessup]

I always wondered why people were not so “in love” with JFK. I guess for me since I never knew much about him except for what I learned in school and that was all very positive except for the assassination which was horrible the way they told it.

The assassination was horrible, that much is true, so too was the assassination 5 years later of JFK's brother, Robert F. Kennedy. I've heard it attributed to Gore Vidal that America "always shoots the wrong Kennedy", a not so veiled smack at Fat Teddy.

But here is some additional information for you to ponder regarding JFK's brief time in office:

The Cuban Missile Crisis took place because Nikita Khrushchev (then the Soviet dictator) had correctly perceived that JFK was young, inexperienced and 'green' in the area of foreign policy, and Khrushchev exploited that inexperience by attempting to quickly alter the nuclear balance of power by placing IRBMs in Cuba.

Had Richard Nixon been properly named the winner of the 1960 election (which he DID win if one discounts the vote fraud of the JFK/LBJ machine in both Texas and Illinois), the Soviets would never have dared to try that missile-in-Cuba gambit because Khrushchev had already taken the measure of Nixon in the famous 'Kitchen Debate' of 1959 when Nixon verbally went one-on-one with Khrushchev when debating the competing systems of Communism and Capitalism, and Nixon didn't back down one iota. Khrushchev knew Nixon was a tough customer and respected that.

JFK, through sheer luck was able to avoid a nuclear exchange with the Soviets in 1962, however his legacy was that of selling out the Cuban people by promising not to attack or invade Cuba after the Soviets withdrew those missiles, which gave a green light to Castro's tyranny and oppression that continues to this very day. (not to mention agreeing to withdraw U.S. IRBMs from Turkey as well)

There is also a school of thought that believes that while the Soviets may have withdrawn those missiles, that there remained Soviet missile tracking facilities whose purpose would have been (in the event of an actual nuclear war with the U.S.) to provide terminal guidance for incoming Soviet ICBM's, which were notorious for their inaccuracy (which is why the Soviets always had larger nuclear payloads on their missiles, as opposed to the U.S., which had greater accuracy and could therefore get the job done with less 'throw weight').

And an argument can be made that if Nixon had been President from 1960 through 1968 (presuming two terms), the racial violence and pressures of that decade might well have been avoided, because our revisionist historians and liberals of all stripes avoid the 'inconvenient truth' (sorry Al, lol) that it was President Eisenhower and Vice President Richard Nixon who were meeting with Martin Luther King and other leaders of the civil rights movement long before the election of 1960, and it was Eisenhower who sent federal troops to Arkansas to protect and preserve the rights of black students who wished only to attend their local high school for an education, and it was DEMOCRAT Governor Orval Faubus who had been using the Arkansas National Guard to stop those kids (called the 'Little Rock Nine', from attending Little Rock High School as part of federally ordered desegregation of public schools. After Eisenhower federalized the guards, taking them out of state control, he ordered them back to their barracks, and then sent the 101st Airborne Division to Arkansas to protect those students and enforce the Federal court order.

The Republican Party has not only been historically proven to be stronger on the issue of national security, they are the proven advocates and defenders of civil rights for not just black Americans, but ALL Americans.

Governor Orval Faubus of Arkansas = Democrat

Governor George Wallace of Alabama = Democrat

Governor Lester Maddox of Georgia = Democrat

Police Commissioner Eugene 'Bull' Conner = Democrat
- infamous racist who used firehoses and dogs on civil rights marchers, fyi

The Democrat Party has a legacy of racism, oppression and hypocrisy.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

"Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy: I knew Jack Kennedy; Jack Kennedy was a friend
of mine. And Eleanor Roosevelt tells me, Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy."

Thanks potlatch

Hillary loses New Hampshire!

[napscoordinator]

Wow! That is not anything near what I learned from school. lol. I sincerely thank you for this exceptional write up and I have cut and pasted it and added it to my word document that I keep information from on FR...the only true source that I learn anything. I can honestly tell you that being a FREEPER the last 2 years and few months, I have SERIOUSLY learned more than I did in high school and college combined. I know that you may not think so but it is so true. There are conversations that I am part of today with people that I would have sat their quietly listening before FR (not giving anything to a conversation OR learn something wrong from somebody who did not know the whole information). I would say that my “grade level” on information especially economics and history have gone up a few notches AT LEAST. I just wanted to thank you so much for that informative post. I appreciate it big time!!

[mkjessup]

You are more than welcome my FRiend, and if my memory is correct, I may have had some less than cordial comments aimed in your direction in times past, and if so - my apologies, sometimes we get heated up here on FR and I’m far from immune to that.

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Best,

MKJ

No problem and thanks. Sometimes my learning process takes the “tough love” route. lol.
