As we enter an election year perhaps it's time to turn our attention to Hillary Clinton's presidential ambitions. Whether she runs this year is still a mute though quickly fading point. Nevertheless, it still pays us to see how she and her rabid supporters are prepared to sacrifice the lives of others in order to satisfy her lust for power.
When in early 2000 the president of the NRA suggested that Bill Clinton found a certain level of violence acceptable for political reasons there was outrage in the leftist media. Perish the thought. Clinton might not be honorable but he is at least humane, regardless of what Juanita Broaddrick claimed, or so said his supporters
Having observed the Clintons for some time, albeit from a distance, I had concluded that the NRA's president was far too charitable. Some may still find this assessment shocking; an expression of mindless Clinton-baiting. But certain incidents that had occurred in New York several years ago more than bear it out.
Playing the race card is a dangerous and ruthless game and one at which the Dems are experts. In the old South it sometimes resulted in the lynching of blacks. In 2000 it was the NYPD that was lynched. The irony is that the Democrats' new form of race-baiting led to a higher murder rate among the city's minorities. Why? Because restricting police activities made the streets safer for dangerous criminals. Figures showed that within months of the Street Crimes Unit being disbanded the murder rate in the Bronx police precinct leapt by 70 percent.
Using the Diallo tragedy as an excuse, Democrats ruthlessly played the race card and forced the police commissioner to disband the unit, even though they were told this would cause a rise in violent crime. But to people like Hillary and her progressive friends a few more dead blacks and Hispanics is a small price to pay to fulfil her ambition to become the country’s first female president.
Hillary’s media elite and the Manhattan set could hardly hide their disappointment when New York's finest refused to behave like a bunch of Brownshirts when Dorismond's funeral was used to mask a calculated attack on them. Wielding clubs, throwing bricks and hurling threats and obscenities Hillary’s supporters launched themselves at the lightly armed police.
Heroic is the only word that sums up the restraint the police exercised, even though it put 23 of them in hospital. I don't doubt for a moment that if any rioter had been killed this would have been used as an excuse to set off more race riots. This would have seen Hillary and her media lackeys solemnly intoning that moderation and restraint was called for in the face of Giuliani's provocations.
Of course Hillary is far too sensitive to directly engage in race-baiting and hate-mongering — she had the likes of the viciously anti-Semitic Al Sharpton to do that for her. She also had an ideological guarantee from the city's leftist media to push the anti-police anti-Giuliani line, blaming every crime by a rogue cop and every police killing on Giuliani's fascist policies. The more dead blacks and Hispanics the happier these reporters appeared to be. Never forget, its the cause that matters, and Hillary is their cause.
But political violence and Hillary are old friends. In her youth she was an active supporter of the murderous drug-dealing panthers, organising support for those of them who tortured and then murdered Alex Rackley. She has never expressed the slightest regret for those actions nor has America's fearless liberal media ever held her to account for what she did.
Hillary's politics fermented in the radical college cauldron of race hate. It has now matured into a subtle race demagogue who ruthlessly use dead blacks and Hispanics as stepping stones to the White House. This is the kind of thing decent Americans should recall should Hillary ever run for president.

Ain't they got no good editors down under?
This is what you get with Dim-ocrats in general, and liberal Dim-ocrats in particular-- high crime rates! The liberal belief in "the basic goodness of mankind" blinds them to the fact that some people are just selfish, mean, and beyond the point of having a shred of decency, or humanity. Liberals are blind to the fact that criminals will not obey their laws!

It is quite telling that it takes an online News-service from Australia to make this point.
That's what people said in 2000. "If she runs for Senator, she'll have to expose herself, and every time she does she puts her foot in her mouth." True, but what if the press doesn't allow her to put her foot in her mouth? She managed to run a whole Senate campaign without ever joining a real debate, without ever being subjected to any real questions, and without ever letting a real member of the public come within 200 yards of her.
Egregious things happened during the campaign. Muslim terrorists donated money. Her goons protecting her in the Gay/Lesbian St. Patrick's Day Parade punched and knocked down three news photographers because the spectators were booing her. None of this got through. When the audience at a stadium appearance booed her, the news media substituted an applause track for the TV audience.
Don't think they wouldn't do the same in a national campaign. Most small-town newspapers are just as bad as the famous big city liberal newspapers. There are exceptions, but not many.
