The Rev. Hillary’s Tin Ear
Orlando Sentinel (via RCP) ^ | 3/7/06 | Kathleen Parker

Posted on 03/06/2007 10:06:30 PM PST by ProtectOurFreedom

The growing consensus seems to be that the former first lady’s ascendancy as first woman president of the U.S. is less assured than previously thought, thanks in large part to ... Barack Obama.

The naked truth is, Hillary has a bigger problem than Obama. Anyone who has heard her speak knows what it is, so we may as well talk about it.

That voice.

Every time Hillary opens her mouth, Americans are reminded of two things: (1) she’s not Bill, and (2) she’s as tone-deaf in the presence of human beings as she was singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" in Iowa.

In Selma, Ala., last weekend Hillary auditioned for a dual role -- not just Southerner, but Southern preacher in the style of a Martin Luther King Jr.

That dry rustling you hear is the sound of millions of people cringing.

It was clear that Hillary was trying to imitate the oratorical style of her black predecessors to the pulpit -- something no white person should ever attempt. But what she must have imagined sounded like passion was to mere mortals the screech of an angry woman.

"I DON’T FEEL NO WAYS TIRED,” she said with the robotic twang of a computer generated Southerner. "I COME TOO FARRRR FRUM WHERE I STARTED FRUM. NOBODY TOLD ME THAT THE ROAD WOULD BE EASY.”

Somewhere deep in the brains of every man listening was a little lizard shouting: Somebody hit the mute button, for God’s sake, hit the mute!

...Sen. Clinton’s voice sends mannequins into a fetal curl.

It may not be Hillary’s fault that her voice sounds like it was fashioned from metal, but it is her fault that she sounds like a car alarm when she’s handed a microphone. It is her fault that she panders -- badly -- to her audiences.

LOL! That captures her voice, and particularly her pandering "souhern drawl" perfectly. She's hideous.

She's a Giant Panderer, all right. She recently told a homosexual audience, in an "undisclosed" speech, that she'd be their "partner" in the White House. shudder

This is beyond embarrassing; it's offensive.

What scares the hell out of me if she were to be elected is some of her comments about our military. I watched a speech she made to some left wing group and she promised as one of her first acts is to stand down Americas military across the world.

I would bet the Russians, Chinese, Osama Terrorists, North Korea, Hugo Chavez and others have zeroed in on who they will support in 08 and it ain't somebody named Duncan, Rudy or Newt.

algore does this pretty good, even though he's full of BS, but Hillary just shrills. Every man who hears her voice, thanks his lucky stars he doesn't have to wake up to her in the mornings.

LOL This is so true! All an opponent should do is play her voice over and over and ask, "Is this what you want to hear for four years?"

What was Clinton thinking when she hijacked a gospel hymn and effectively mocked her audience? Her speech exposed not just an incompetent ear, but disrespect for the people gathered.

It was a gathering of moonbats, they didn't even know they were being "dissed".

As I believe that Osama Obama is a closet racists and possibly tied very close to radical, crooked Muslims, Hellary is worse as she is eat up with revenge,man hatred and vitriol for much of what traditional America stands.

For all those who say they will vote for Hellary as a Republican protest vote, enjoy while you can.

Because if you were starving to death she wouldn't tell you where she dumped her garbage.

Acutally, when I heard it, all I could think of was "somebody stick a sock in her mouth"!!!

I don't know --

Hillary loves to hear herself talk. She could go on for years without anybody listening. Ask Bill.

"I COME TOO FARRRR FRUM WHERE I STARTED FRUM."

Did an embedded enemy of the Clintons write this for her? Some speech writer is having a good laugh. This speech was surely a set-up by someone who doesn't like her. A Yankee trying to sound black and Southern to a Black audience is racist stereotyping. A Yale graduate pretending that substandard grammar is her colloquial use and that she in comfortable speaking like an illiterate? It is an embarrassment to listen to her speech. She thought she was pulling it off. An "I am a Berliner" speech it wasn't. What she said is true: She has come way too far from where she started. Let's send her back.

"algore"

I've heard Gore speak in person (twice in fact), and let me tell you Gore is no silver-tongued orator. He's actually a worse public speaker than Dubya and with goofy, wooden, physical mannerisms. He gets away with it of course because he's a liberal. Hillary might be worse though. She learned nothing from sitting through her hubby's maudlin, inveigling speeches. Obama has a big advantage over her in this regard. He's a much better public speaker.

However I feel most of the people in her audience are deaf, dumb, infatuated with her and mind-numb anyways for them to have come up with any negative feelings towards her for having been exposed to that tripe.
