The Return of "That'll Teach 'Em" Hillary (Op-Ed by Tom DeLay)
TownHall ^ | October 3, 2007 | Tom DeLay

Posted on 10/03/2007 1:00:43 PM PDT by RWR8189

Moments after accusing everyone who had the temerity to actually believe her husband was lying about “that woman, Miss Lewinsky” of being part of a “vast right-wing conspiracy,” First Lady Hillary Clinton growled to her beaming staff, “That’ll teach them to [insert four letter word that is not “mess”] with us.”

That’s what we used to call the “Hillary charm.” What Mrs. Clinton likes best is jugular-gouging political combat. Unfortunately, Americans usually like their bare-knuckle politics done with a wink and a smile, like her husband always did. Bill Clinton could kiss a baby, squeeze out a crocodile tear for some down-on-her-luck single mom, accuse Republicans of lynching-era racism, and tell a heart-warming story about some inner city education program in 30 seconds. His attacks were so padded with goopy, Oprah-style, self-actualization, so shadily subtle as to be almost subliminal. Hillary, of the spine-tingling bwah-hah-hah phony campaign laugh and the 1000-page socialized medicine scheme, well, she doesn’t do subtle.

Because she can’t hide her viciousness behind a mask of lip-biting insincerity, Hillary instead has erected a massive network of battle hardened operatives to do the “red in tooth and claw” bit for her. The effect is the same – suppress dissent, intimidate detractors, discredit opponents, and enforce, with fascistic efficiency, an iron code of loyalty among friends and docility among foes. It’s really quite something.

Fortunately for all of us, so is Rush Limbaugh.

A few days back, Rush and a caller were discussing Global War on Terror critics who have either exaggerated or entirely invented their military and combat service in order to bolster their credibility. Major news outlets and even U.S. Attorneys have opened damning investigations of many of these people, who Limbaugh and a caller on his radio show rightfully described as “phony soldiers.”

Well, as soon as the words were out of Limbaugh’s mouth, Hillary sicked her network on Limbaugh. The George Soros-funded, Hillary-devoted group Media Matters has been the tip of the spear, charging Limbaugh with unpatriotic slander against the troops. Because, after all, accusing phony soldiers of being phony soldiers is the same as accusing our troops in the field in Iraq of being phony soldiers. The whole thing is trumped up nonsense, of course, which is why the spectacle of the Senate Majority Leader denouncing Limbaugh from the floor of the Senate went over so poorly with the few Americans who still actually pay attention to Congress.

But the far more important story than this little tempest that will go away in three days is, well, the vast left-wing conspiracy out to get anyone opposed to the Clinton Restoration. Media Matters claims it’s a nonpartisan “research and information center.” That’s all well and good, except that Hillary Clinton herself took credit, while speaking at YearlyKos of all places, of starting Media Matters. In her August speech to the left wing fringe gathering, Senator Clinton bragged about “institutions that I helped to start and support like Media Matters and Center for American Progress” (CAP is a left-wing think tank effectively owned and operated by the Clinton campaign policy shop).

She refers to these and other groups, mostly funded by socialist billionaire George Soros and designed for the single purpose of electing Mrs. Clinton president next fall, as “the new progressive infrastructure” which, again, “I helped to start.”

She’s not kidding. This recent attack against Rush Limbaugh is nothing more than a fire drill for Mrs. Clinton’s “new progressive infrastructure,” a preparation for the real quarry: the 2008 Republican presidential nominee. There is nothing independent, nonpartisan, or disinterested about Media Matters and the rest of the Clinton Shadow Party – they are the tanks and bombers and battleships of Hillary’s campaign arsenal. They will do whatever they are asked, whenever they must, to destroy anyone who stands between her and the Oval Office.

No wonder her laugh sounds like that.

Tom DeLay is the former House Majority Leader, the second ranking leader in the United States House of Representatives, and co-author of No Retreat, No Surrender: One American's Fight.

Problem is, most people don’t know her because the MSM does nothing but pump her image.

I am honestly coming to believe that many of the MSM “news” and “interview” types are on the Soros payroll.

Okay, so when is the IRS going to revoke Media Matters tax-exempt status?

Excellent article by the Hammer. “This recent attack against Rush Limbaugh is nothing more than a fire drill...” A mere dress rehearsal for the Stalinist tactics to come.

Wow, excellent article. Thanks for posting.

I agree with other posters that the IRS needs to look into Media Matters tax exempt status.

Which is worse, a prostitute or a slut?

I don't think the Round-Heeled Media is selling it. They are giving it away for free.

I gotta think the Clintonistas are going to overplay their hand and the people are going to see a little too much of the Clinton strong-arm tactics to be comfortable pulling the lever for Hillary!.

The cackles, the cankles, the promises: a five thousand dollar bond for every baby, free everything: medical, dental - uhhhh, dear leader how will we pay for this??????? My parents taught me nothing in life is free??????? The DEAR LEADER replies: the roaring cackle, WHAT, YOU QUESTION MY AUTHORITY?????? The cackle grows louder, she silently snaps her fingers, summons the thought police, and I am dragged off to re-education camp. Just a scenario, but chilling in every aspect and if you do not think this will ever come into fruition, then we are deluding ourselves - if we elect the dear leader. It will all come into play: free republic, the freepers and all those that dissent against the dear leader will be targeted by the thought police and her minions./Just Asking - seoul62........

Welcome back, Tom DeLay!

He’s right, for now. Hillary’s minions have carefully insured that there are no unscripted moments and that all questions directed to her are pre-screened.

But the deeper into the campaign she gets, the more unscripted unguarded moments there will be. The hours will get longer and daily pressures will build. This is a profoundly angry woman who cannot possibly keep all that rage bottled up forever. Her reptilian self countrol is bound to crack, and when it does the public will see the mother of all meltdowns.

What I would like to see is a furious Hillary slapping one of her female staffers, with the cameras rolling, over some campaign glitch.

Call the *ITCH...The Unsinkable Molly Brown! Funny how the DAUGHTER OF SATAN immediately send her attacking lying bastardly dogs after Rush as soon as the Cackle laugh made the rounds in his show! This was a smart move by the SHE-DEVIL and her cronies as they realized that this could be a Dean SNAFU redux. They force the change of subject and turned the tables on Rush. These folks are EVIL as EVIL as their maker the DEVIL!! BE AFRAID, BE EXTREMELY AFRAID

Exactly. And when is the investigation into her dealings with setting it up begin?

I agree, gridlock. Last week they pulled the GQ article and then threatened the restaurant owner Nino to take down Chelsea’s pic...just pray that the country will be wise to Clinton Inc. before it’s too late.

a few thousand conservatives who watch politics and pay attention online vs the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS if not millions of zombie leftists.

The public at large is lost to these facts.

Good vs the forces of evil....again.
