Clinton Portrays Herself as a Pro-Gun Churchgoer
New York Times ^ | 4/12/2008 | Julie Bosman

VALPARAISO, Ind. - Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton managed to co-opt Mr. Obama’s message of hope and optimism, beginning a speech in Valparaiso, Ind., by talking about how positive and “fundamentally optimistic” Americans are.

“We don’t get bogged down and looking back – we’re always looking forward,” she said, as heavy applause nearly drowned out her words. “Whatever obstacle we see, we get over it. Whatever challenge we have, we meet it. We’re the problem-solvers, we’re the innovators, we’re the people who make the better future.”

For the third time since Mr. Obama’s remarks were made public Friday night, Mrs. Clinton criticized him at length, saying his comments seemed “kind of elitist and out of touch.”

“I disagree with Senator Obama’s assertion that people in our country cling to guns and have certain attitudes about immigration or trade simply out of frustration,” she said.

She described herself as a pro-gun churchgoer, recalling that her father taught her how to shoot a gun when she was a young girl and said that her faith “is the faith of my parents and my grandparents.”

Hellarewe is holding another lie-in, i.e. the Hildabeast is lying like a rug.

I hope she continues to overplay it like this. The idea of her as Pro-Gun Churchgoer is silly!

Hillary will be a “Pro-Gun Church-goer” the day that Mohammad becomes a Jew.

and how they both tried to SIGN UP FOR MILITARY SERVICE but didn’t make it.

Hopefully, both tried for president, and only one made it.

> If Hillary doesn’t mind yucking it up with a man who accused her of murder, then fake Bible reading and remniscing about HUNTING TRIPS is nothing to her.

“I remember the Battle of the Arkansas Woods. There I was, laying covering fire against the squirrels with the .50, while Pappy cleaned them out of their holes with the flame-thrower. Them squirrels had dug themselves in deeply and they weren’t going to go down without a fight. It was brutal: a scene from a nightmare that haunts me still. When I close my eyes at night, I can still hear them screaming as Pappy’s relentless flame sizzled them all the way to Hell...

“Round about then Pappy took one in the shoulder and another one passed clean thru his left kidney and emerged out his right thigh. Sniper fire! One of them squirrel b@stards had secured some high ground and had us pinned down, but where...?

Suddenly, I saw a glint of bright lite — a reflection from his squirrel sniper scope! — and instinctively ducked as his next bullet slammed into the sandbag, missing my head by an inch...

...it was then that I found my Creator, and in a hastily-muttered Prayer, hitched up the .50 and lay down a hail of lead at the sniper squirrel while I lurched out from behind cover to rescue Pappy.

Someone upstairs was listening, and I had the satisfaction of watching the little b@stard fall out of his tree, stone dead just as I reached Pappy to stem his gushing wound and drag him back behind the sand-bags.

‘Hillary’, he gasped, ‘I am personally going to recommend you for the Congressional Medal of Honor for this.’ These were his last words on his lips to me in This Life. But I know that somewhere he’s looking down on me and smiling...”

Cheers

Saturday Night Live. One of the longest running Comedy shows. Kind of like Monty Python......used to be great but now its just so-so.

Gets lots of recognition and respect and almost all the comedians who are on it, end up being some sort of movie stars.

> Saturday Night Live.

Ahhhh... were they the ones who used to do “The Mister Bill Show” back in the early 1980’s? The plastercine guy with his dog Spot, and Sluggo, and Mr Hand? That was Hell-Funny!

Thanks for that!

SNL>

The long-standing, and long since un-funny, American telly (alleged) comedy programme, ''Saturday Night Live''.

The producers of said programme have always been leftists, and in this particular year have been utterly in the tank for Hitlery.

Don't apologise for being a ''foreigner'', m'friend. Think of, and smile at, all the ''American'' crap you're missing.

FReegards!

Still, you got to love how this is unfolding with Hillary tacking on Obama for his contempt of rural Americans.
