There are a lot of ways to make a man's death look like an accident, suicide or a street crime. That wasn't the intent of whoever murdered former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko in London. By using such an exotic murder weapon — a radioactive isotope known as polonium-210 — his killers sent a message: Don't mess with the powers that be in Russia. Max Boot |
THE POLITICS OF DUMPING HILLARY
It precedes them: IRS audits (Where IS that unredacted Barrett Report already... and why was it REALLY redacted in the first place?), raw FBI files, trashed reputations, intimidation--both verbal and physical, and, oh yes, the deaths. It So it is not surprising that it took the better part of a year for the Left to summon the courage to dump hillary. Dumping hillary is not a reversible act, you see. Dump hillary and you're on her hit list. For life. Yours... which won't be long and happy if hillary retakes the White House and her repertoire of revenge is for real.... So dumping hillary is not your ordinary finger-in-the-air, go-with-the-flow tactical maneuver. It is a lifetime commitment. Chris Matthews, David Geffen, Mike McCurry and Leon Panetta were on the front lines making that commitment. They had the guts to dump hillary before dumping hillary was de rigueur. It is not that they understood hillary clinton is a dud and everyone else on the Left did not. Everyone knows hillary clinton is a dud. It is that they put loyalty to party above loyalty to the clintons, and had the courage to act on that loyalty. But now that "hillary clinton is not electable" is the conventional wisdom and dumping hillary is the Democrat plat du jour, all the weak-kneed, Bush-hating Leftists--which is virtually everyone to the left of John McCain (and would include John McCain except for the fact that he trounces the scold in the polls)--will join the dump-hillary ranks and the dump-hillary movement will grow exponentially from this day forth....

eputation, reputation, reputation. The clintons' reputation--specifically, their reputation for revenge--is, to paraphrase Shakespeare, the immortal part of them and what makes them especially bestial.
matters not one whit whether each and every item on this list is true. That it could be true is sufficient threat: Perception--reputation--IS reality.
