The Latest: Trump campaign objects to 'deplorable' language
The London Daily Mail ^ | September 9, 2016 | The Associated Press

---snip---

Clinton was speaking at an LGBT fundraiser in New York City Friday night when she described those supporters as "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it." But she stressed that the rest of the Republican nominee's supporters are people who feel let down by the government and the economy and are "just desperate for change," and said those people need sympathy.

Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway quickly responded on Twitter, writing, "One day after promising to be aspirational & uplifting, Hillary insults millions of Americans."

Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill tweeted that Clinton was referring to "alt-right" voters who "appear to make up half his crowd."(continued)

Them criticizing coal people as stupid and racist really shows how ignorant they are. The american coal industry uses some of the most sophisticated technology on Earth.

This is clearly a “campaign” directed attack path. Both Willy and Hillary are attacking the Trump supporters by “shaming” and it gives their supporters (the one percenters, rent seekers and unicorn seekers) encouragement to turn out the vote.

As much as she tries to alter reality, deep down she knows:

People support Trump because they are “just desperate for change”

And you ain’t it.

The MSM will protect Hillary. They piled on Romney for his 47% remark. Big difference. And the GOPe agrees with Hillary on who the Trump supporters are.

Thank you for the explanation. If you check the link, the image in question was to wikipedia's article on the famous Saul Steinberg cover art. I assumed if it was on wikipedia that it was fair use.

In any case, I'll reformulate the comment to avoid the problem.

'Illary's 'deplorable' remarks to her super-wealthy 1%-er supporters (purchasers?) represent a pathologically malignant combination of Saul Steinberg's New Yorker view of flyover country combined with an urban elitist's primal fear of the country dweller as exemplified in Straw Dogs, Deliverance, and any number of other films depicting 'nice' urbanites being murderously stalked by dangerously primitive 'outlanders'. It is a small step from 'Illary's remarks to solving the problem with Obama-buddy Bill Ayers' assertion that 25 million might need to be exterminated.

Whoever wrote this ‘basket’ speech for her is trying to undermine her. Who wrote it? Bill?

I am the very model of a basket of deplorables,
I’m racist, sexist, homophobic, barely am employable,
I’m Xenophobic in my country, totally fanatical,
Islamophobic since I think sharia’s incompatible.
She will claim we misconstrue her comment’ry rhetorical,
‘Cause Hillary in campaign speeches tends to be hysterical.

Alt-right sites are all teeming with a lot o’ news, (news... news... GOT IT!)
With many damning facts about the Clinton charity abuse.
The level of corruption there is borderline ridiculous,
Electing her would put the country in position perilous.
I’m racist, sexist, homophobic, barely am employable,
I am the very model of a basket of deplorables.

Splendid indeed, Doctor, and in such brief time.

Not sure of the effect you were seeking in the first line of the second stanza. I would have kept the normal metering. Perhaps “Alt-right sites are all teeming harsh comment and a lot o’news.” But, this is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

Straight out of Alinsky's 12 rules for radicals.

RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)

RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

No, that line was perfect. listen to the original where the general pauses and thinks about his next line. Perfect parody!

I am the very model of modern major general.

Hillary Clinton was encouraged by her RAT handlers to "open up" and to "reveal herself and her 'soul' to the American people".

By personally labeling and declaring OVER HALF of ALL AMERICANS a =

#Basketofdeplorables

she just did:

Hillary Clinton's "soul" is a dark black cesspool of utter evil, bitterness and HATE against America and American CITIZENS!

I seem to recall that Trump once said that some illegals were criminals and the media went nuts.

Romney said 47% of Americans were on the dole, and the media went nuts.

It will be interesting to see how the media treats this.
