Ezra Klein Sees Nothing Odd About Identical Manchurian Candidate Hillary Descriptions
NewsBusters ^ | July 12, 2016 | P.J. Gladnick

Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.

Anybody who ever saw the movie The Manchurian Candidate would have quickly thought it rather odd that every soldier captured in Korea with Raymond Shaw gave identical answers when asked to describe him. However, when associates of Hillary used identical answers to describe her, Ezra Klein of Vox seems not to notice anything strange there. Here is Ezra making the observation about those identical (robotic?) descriptions without the least hint of curiosity as to the Manchurian Candidate quality about them:

Yeah, I’ve heard “listen” enough times to know exactly what he’s talking about.

So... she *listens* and that is what makes her the most qualified candidate?

If that’s all it takes, then I submit that we have millions of qualified candidates, without the baggage! Just grab some random quiet person off the street!

Voxsplained: Good listener Hillary Clinton hobbled by male campaign tradition of speaking

People's minds don't work when they see and hear politicians they like. They catch every fault and failing of the politicos they hate, but when it comes to the ones they agree with, they just see a hazy bright spot and hear muzak. So it's easy for them to just dismiss and discount criticism and wonder why people don't see the candidate like they do. And people are all the blinder when they meet the candidate up close. That's why "Hillary is different in person." It's hard to resist the personal aura of famous people when you're already in love with them.

Excellent observation.

We all have our favorites (and most disliked), but we shouldn’t worship any of these people. Give both praise and condemnation when due.

The only problem is that Mrs. Clinton is the precise opposite of a "listener".

Listeners don't cordon themselves off from the public, and listeners don't plant questions, they invite them.

Listeners actually like people, and want to hear what they have to say and ask.

Additionally, listeners are not pathological liars, one strongly suspects.
