Sting Like a 'B': Hillary Threatens to 'Deck' Opponents

You can imagine the MSM's collective gasp of horror if a Republican presidential candidate ever threatened to punch out opponents. It would be a field day for the psychologists, as one after another would be paraded across TV screens to speculate on the subconscious roots of such aggressiveness, and opine on the fitness for office of anyone harboring such pugilistic predilections. Lefty foreign policy mavens would be invited to fret over the way such knee-jerk hostility might lead us into war, etc.

But NBC raised nary an eyebrow when reporting on Hillary having uttered just such a threat during a campaign stop in Iowa yesterday.

View video here.

NBC'S Chip Reid introduced the soundbite this way: "She says if she wins the Democratic nomination, she won't hesitate to go after he Republican opponent."

Hillary then landed her left cross: "When you are attacked, you have to deck your opponent, and that is what I believe you do."

It will be interesting to see if the rest of the MSM picks up on Hillary's steel-cage metaphor.

Hillary Clinton -- giving a whole new meaning to "sting like a 'b'."

Let's see...the Swiftboat vets "decked" Kerry, and, why, that was just wrong! However, Hillary the Democrat, can "deck" people, and, why, that's OK! The laws of this universe are certainly fickly, aren't they?

,you have to deck your opponent

Translation: Arkacide them

The most dangerous real estate on planet Earth at this time is the land between Hillary and the Oval Office. For her, it is no man's land, and she will act accordingly to keep it that way.

Hillary: "When you are attacked, you have to deck your opponent

Speaking of dope on a rope..... (rope a dope)

"She is married to a fellow who believes that politics is all about turning enemies in to friends. Her attitude, friends say, is that enemies are enemies for life and should be consigned to the outer darkness, then vaporized."

Is that like Joe Biden and a camera?

Lady Macbeth does it again. Thanks, glgb!

[ripley]

left wingers always speaking in war and fighting metaphors.....it's sickening and it won't stop.

if an opponent speaks back in the same manner, watch out......you'll hear the word nazi spewed about.

when rick lazio approached her with a paper during a debate, it was considered to be "so overly aggressive" toward a poor little woman.

these people are taking many liberties, in more ways than one.

[DejaJude]

She's just trying to be the democrats alpha male.

"When you are attacked, you have to deck your opponent

And ..... she's going to lop off the head of the guy who stuck the microphone in front of her yesterday when she tried her hand at singing. One note she sounded like Robert Goulet, the next note she was more like Tiny Tim.

You are correct sir.

And Hollywood and the leftist media LOVE the aggressive, masculinized, kick-boxing woman. They've been social programming us with that image for more than a decade now.

Amazing that she holds that attitude for herself but not her country. America was ATTACKED, take off the gloves and DECK our opponents. But no...once again, what she wants for herself and what she wants for America are two different things. This comment could not be more illustrative of not only Hillary but of all Democrats.

[cajungirl]

This is really interesting.

She is trying to "soften" her image, be the "mother", "chat" with us, "listen" to us.

And right out the box, she starts talking about "decking" people.

No matter how hard she trys, the real Hillary is showing up. She cannot hide herself.

This is going to be very very good for us.

HILLARY! RAMPS UP CLINTON SECRET POLICE: THREAT INTENDED TO SILENCE OPPONENTS


THE CLINTON MACHINE IS 'TRYING TO STRANGLE THE OBAMA CANDIDACY IN ITS CRADLE'
AN OPEN LETTER TO HOLLYWOOD

With a Q score—a measure of celebrity likability among the hoi polloi—in the toilet, missus clinton can win elections only by running virtually unopposed...

And then only with the help of protheses, props, poses, PR machines, scripted appearances, screened audiences, vetted questions, Secret Service barracades, secret police, softball settings and sycophantic hosts... fictionalizing, 'humanizing,' digitizing and otherwise hiding the real hillary clinton.

And then we have the baggage....

Anyone else but a clinton would have been summarily laughed off the stage.

Excellent analysis, cj, IMHO. Could her handlers possibly have wanted her to use language like this after all that hard work softening her image with the announcement video?

[rjp2005]

Good? How?

[mewzilla]

This is going to be very very good for us.

Yup :)

The American body politic is in need of a Toon exorcism.

Run, Hillie, run!

Heh heh heh ....

Look at the audience there. Iowa caucus 'Rats. She was throwing them some red meat to make up for blowing off the state of Iowa. Be interesting to see if Iowans are that easy.
