Hillary Clinton’s Sad Campaign To Polish Her Image
Townhall.com ^ | 12/22/2017 | Matt Vespa

Women’s magazines are an area that the conservative movement often overlooks. They’ve become political. And for many young, college-educated women in urban areas it’s their source of news. And yes, it’s entirely liberal.(snip)

Now, I don’t read Teen Vogue of course, but The Wall Street Journal’s Jillian Kay Mechior gave a rundown and asked what the hell happened here:

Hillary Clinton expanded her already impressive résumé by guest-editing the issue that hit newsstands Dec. 5. It was a theme issue, with 36 pages devoted to a single subject: Hillary Clinton. That’s more than the 31 pages of ads in the 97-page magazine.

Mrs. Clinton commissioned several articles about herself. Staff writer Lauren Duca proclaims that “zooming out on Hillary’s 2016 loss reveals the broader contours of women’s oppression,” while Gloria Steinem says that when a woman is elected president, “she will be climbing steps that were carved out by Hillary.” The issue also features contributions from Chelsea Clinton and Betsy Ebeling, identified as Mrs. Clinton’s “BFF.”

There’s a two-page spread of “Love Letters to Hill.” Readers are assured they are “personal notes” selected from more than 100,000 post-election missives Mrs. Clinton received from young women, including singer Miley Cyrus and actresses Chloë Grace Moretz and Lena Dunham. The magazine helpfully advises: “Read with tissues in hand!”

Then there’s Mrs. Clinton’s own love letter to Mrs. Clinton—or rather, to Miss Rodham. Framed as advice to her 18-year-old self, it includes such tips as “when president-elect Barack Obama says he wants to talk to you about a job opportunity in his cabinet, hear him out.”

[…]

Mrs. Clinton’s guest-editorship is emblematic of Teen Vogue’s recent politicization. Last April, Condé Nast appointed 30-year-old Elaine Welteroth as editor in chief. She has presided over a magazine fixated on identity politics.

The “impressive resume” refrain is straight out of Goebbels’ playbook.

Exactly right. They start every conversation with that premise, assuming we will accept it.

Do not, O gullible and ignorant liberals. For everything the beast touches turns to ruin.

Surely, there must be examples around of women who managed to become successful through their own hard work.

Sarah Palin comes to mind.

Is it EVER going to end? EVER?

Honestly, if I never hear another word out of Hillary Clinton’s mouth or fingertips, or from her minions, or see her name, except with the headline “SENTENCED to 20 YEARS,” I’ll be happy.

“People tell me that Hillary is acting ‘like a retard’ since her head injury. Frankly, considering her normal behavior, I’m surprised anyone noticed! (this is a joke!) Have someone talk to her doctor and see if there’s anything he can give her.

Also, I’ve noticed she’s had an “odor” lately. It reminds me of a combination of boiled cabbage, urine, and farts. I’m guessing it’s either connected to her fall or simply the fact that she rarely bathes. Outside of encouraging her to take a shower once in a while, I don’t know what to do about this. — any suggestions would be appreciated.

The Clinton propaganda machine was in a hurry to debunk this one and call it a fabrication by WikiLeaks. Don't believe a word of it. I can tell she stinks just from watchint her greasy ass on t.v. And of course we all know she acts like a retard.

Every day we’ve seen her helping ring the bell for the Salvation Army, reading “Twas the Night before Christmas” to school children, taking black SUVs loaded with toys to Blue Santa and dishing up soup at the homeless shelters all around the cou... nope, never mind.

Yes, indeed, Sarah Palin is incredibly accomplished, and in addition, she’s beautiful and dresses well. Of course, liberal “feminists” hate her.

I think I recall that interview. She had so much makeup on, as to look , shall we say, unnatural, strange, distracting?

She looked bizarre during the video when she shouted why wasn’t she 50 points ahead.

Perhaps some women have trouble with cosmetics and achieving the certain look they wish to have? Maybe Hillary is one of those women?

Ah yes, teen Vogue, the magazine which educates our teenage girls about anal sex.

Why a fashion magazine is dealing with anal sex is a mystery to me.

And what of the editorial judgement of those who run that magazine, who clearly see nothing wrong with that subject in a magazine aimed at teen girls interested in fashion and lifestyle topics.
