Never the Twain Shall Meet
hen bill clinton offered up his "ethnic joke" non sequitur, unsolicited, to the New York Daily News, he doubtless never imagined that it would in fact be an ethnic joke by the wife (and to the press and about Gandhi, no less) that would ultimately yank off their clan's omnipresent (though seemingly diaphanous, judging by the historic disregard) white sheets.
If the purpose of the call to the New York Daily News was single-minded -- to save the wife from certain defeat ("f---ing Jew bastard" was not going over well with the crucial Jewish vote), the purpose of the non sequitur was twofold -- (1) to recast the wife's vicious anti-Semitic slur as a (relatively) common, (relatively) benign "ethnic joke" and (2) to argue implicitly (if fallaciously) that if the wife is viscerally unable to tell an ethnic joke, then, according to clinton deconstructionist logic, it follows that the wife is viscerally unable to utter a vicious anti-Semitic slur. Casuistry in the service of clinton revisionism....
To those who say that the only thing this Gandhi "joke" confirms is that the wife is a poor comedian, that everybody ought to lighten up, I say, "wrong," (although it does confirm that the wife is no Jackie Mason, whose timing and judgment are impeccable, who manages to use ethnic humor with a certain benign benevolence and intelligence, Ed Sullivan notwithstanding).
The wife's ethnic "joke" in fact also confirms the following:

clintonism and the theology of contempt
by Mia T, November 2000 (sometime before the-first-Tuesday-after-the-first-Monday)
"I view Hillary Clinton as a great danger to Jews if she is elected."
former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir
I... underestimated the propensity of my people for narrow-mindedness and self-destruction (the Jewish vote for Mrs. Clinton was about 70%)....
Some anti-Semitism is irrational, founded in ignorance, as in Hillary's case....
But other forms of anti-Semitism can be earned, giving folks legitimate grievances against a people because they do crazy things like EXTEND HILLARY CLINTON'S POLITICAL LIFE!
This is not to cast the entire blame on Jewish New Yorkers; they alone couldn't have elected her. In my initial optimism, I equally underestimated the urban pseudo-intellectual's high-mindedness, as well as the Everyman's yearning for celebrity in his midst.
Julia Gorin, Getting used to Hillary
Let us hope that the rabbi's question was merely rhetorical. . . Let us hope that Rabbi Potasnik, and by extension, New York Jews, are not as credulous and obsequious and passive as they appear. . .
The simple answer to the rabbi's question is that the corrupt, self-serving, anti-Semitic, power-hungry harpy cannot be trusted.
Weren't we to never forget?
The Holocaust must remain, for Jew and Gentile alike, a constant reminder that mass credulity and obsequiousness and passivity are necessary for the demagogue to prevail.
To remember that six million Jews died in the Holocaust is to understand that centuries of anti-Semitic attitudes made this horror possible. We must ask ourselves what role our society played through the centuries that in any way contributed to the atmosphere that made such a genocide even thinkable.
Which brings me to the clintons and clintonism. . .
Senator Patrick Moynihan proffered one of the more incisive operant definitions of clintonism -- "defining deviancy down."
Defining deviancy down, indeed.
clintonism has made personal and public perversions, personal and public predations, not merely thinkable, not merely acceptable, but de rigueur. Watch us spin.
clintonism is the theology of contempt. Not only toward "f***ing Jew-bastards," or "dumb n***ers" or "extra-chromosome right-wingers" but toward any of us whose ideas are different from those of the clintons, Gore, and their acolytes.
So the real question to be answered is this:
with its theology of contempt?
What fair-minded, clear-thinking person would vote for hillary clinton or Al Gore?" |
The dysfunctional twofer
One has to wonder how much longer
the Democrats
--both the leaders of the party and the rank and file--
will tolerate the clintons,
their corruption,
their ineptitude,
their utter failure to protect America from terrorism,
their hatespin
(the ugly parroting of which is on democrat display today),
their party-decimating, country-decimating self-serving agenda,
their suffocating sense of entitlement,
their rube arrogance rooted in stupidity.
has plainly destroyed the Democrat Party;
it has arrogated the Democrat Party as its own
and is now remaking it in its ugly image.
How can there not be multiple coups in the works?
a senator to Henry Hyde
We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth,
and listen to the song of that siren
till she transforms us into beasts.
Is this the part of wise men,
engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty?
Are we disposed to be the number of those
who, having eyes, see not,
and having ears, hear not,
the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation?
For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost,
I am willing to know the whole truth;
to know the worst, and to provide for it.
Patrick Henry
Theodore Roethke
he understands all too well its most significant byproduct.
You can see it in his eyes.
they now dart back and forth reflexively,
searching futilely for approval,
attempting desperately to dispel his own certain knowledge
that his moral authority is gone. . .
forever.

If a white person was walking down the sidewalk, a black person had to get off the sidewalk so the white person could walk by. There were laws which prohibited Blacks to look at white people in the eye, and a black person could be sent to jail for "assault (reckless eyeballing)."
... Blacks who dared to challenge the rules were lynched by the thousands. Men and women were lynched. Lynchings were public events and white men, women and children went to watch Blacks being tortured and burned or hanged... Whites literally got away with murder for killing "uppity" Blacks.
Historical Backdrop to FREEDOM SONG
"When 'Queen Hillary' walks down the hall, you're not supposed to look at her. You're actually supposed to go into an office if there is one nearby. She doesn't want staff 'seeing' her. And I know she sure as hell doesn't want to meet you or any other staffer!" "You have to be kidding me!" John replied. "No, we got the word at a staff meeting. It's true. Look around. Do you see anyone else in the hall?" John looked around and sure enough people were starting to emerge, like prarie dogs peeking out of their burrows after a hawk had flown past.
Gary Aldrich, "Unlimited Access"
"I'm doing my chores for Hillary Clinton."
RON BROWN (ON HIS COMMERCE-DEPT CRIMES) TO NOLANDA HILL
"I will not go down alone."
RON BROWN (DAYS BEFORE HIS DEATH, ON HIS PLEA AGREEMENT WITH THE DOJ) TO BILL CLINTON
"It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important."
Ironically, the logic of this pronouncement by Martin Luther King would, in short order, be refuted by the fact of his own lynching. King's hope was misplaced and his reasoning was circular. The resultant rule of law relied on by King presumed an adherence to the rule of law in the first instance.
Adherence to the rule of law is not something normally associated with the clintons. Moreover, racial and ethnic disrespect, intimidation, exploitation and hate have always been a fundamental clinton tactic and the reflexive use the "N"-word and other racial and ethnic slurs, an essential element in the clinton lexicon. When the "first black president" and his wife ran Arkansas, the NAACP sued them for intimidating black voters at the polls.
But it is the clintons' refinement of the DNC drag and drop that is, arguably, the most insidious and repugnant application of their special brand of race-hate politics.
Drag and drop is a vote fraud technique by which unwitting, unwilling and/or illegal voters -- typically inner-city blacks and other minorities -- are literally dragged into the voting booth and told where to mark the "x" -- often multiple times per election. Drag and drop does not merely undermine and corrupt our system of government. Drag and drop is not merely illegal and exploitive.
Drag and drop is racist and dehumanizing.
Calculating a black man's worth to be 5/3 of a vote is no less racist, and arguably more so, than calculating his worth to be 3/5 of a white man; the latter is demeaning, but the former is dehumanizing.
In the senate race against Rick Lazio, it is widely understood that the drag and drop, (followed by the OLD ANGLE / NEW SQUARE / OVAL OFFICE SCHEME ) was clinton's vote fraud technique of choice used to overcome her low poll numbers, high personal negatives and consistent public failures.
"UPPITY" BLACKS AND THE CLINTONS
The Ron Brown death and the clinton legacy of lynching represent the pernicious endpoint, but the history of clinton race-hate politics is replete with a reflexive 'disposal' of 'uppity' blacks from to Marian Wright Edelman to Lani Guanier to Jocelyn Elders to Carl McCall...
To former Atlanta Mayor Maynard Jackson. The clintons' anointment of their man, Terry McAuliffe, to the chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee didn't merely force Maynard Jackson to the back of the bus. It pushed him off.
Two Degrees of Segregation: Al Sharpton, Donna Brazile, Carol Moseley Braun and the clintons
The announcement that intellectual and ethical lightweight, Carol Moseley Braun intends to run for president raises the same fundamental question that hillary clinton's looming presence does: "What the hell is this moribund loser doing in the political arena, anyway?"
In order to better understand the easy entry of Moseley Braun into democrat field, clinton-clinton precedent (president!) and the field's increasingly circus-like quality notwithstanding, one must consider the precipitating acts of Al Sharpton and Donna Brazile.
The Al Sharpton candidacy, by definition, disturbed both the clinton calculus and literati sensibilities, inspiring an immediate if ineffectual Tawana-Brawley deathblow attempt by leftist media. Sharpton's response was swift and sure. He warned that the next time the media asked him about Tawana Brawley, he would invoke the clinton scandals and the media's apparent lack of interest in same when questioning hillary clinton. (Surely the clintons' rapes and other predations would trump this quaint little hoax...)
Sharpton's Harlem office effectively burned to the ground the next day--an accident they say--but he was not deterred. The media, however, apparently were; they quickly buried Tawana Brawley beside Juanita Broaddrick, somewhere in that dark recess of expediency called access journalism.
If the clintons wanted Sharpton out because of the sheer embarrassment of him before his salvo, they now would be satisfied with no less than Sharpton's head. Donna Brazile was to neutralize (decolorize?) Sharpton by creating black favorite son candidates in every state of the union. It seems that Brazile ultimately thought the better of it, warning that dem dissing was demonstrably dumb, that Sharpton could, a la Jesse Jackson, lure crucial black voters back into the democrat fold.
So how then to siphon off the black votes that will go to Sharpton? Enter clinton lackey, Carol Moseley Braun, nothing more than a cynical extension of clinton drag and drop and legacy of lynching.
an Extension of clinton drag and drop and legacy of lynching
The movie, hillary talks: On Ethnic Slurs demonstrates that the couple's entire defense of the wife's anti-Semitic slur was based on lies, that not only does the wife tell ethnic jokes, she also reflexively and repeatedly utters vicious anti-Semitic, racial and other slurs. According to her friends, colleagues and even her hagiographer, hillary clinton is in a 'perpetual state of anger' and attack, hillary clinton's principal modus operandi is the utter and complete degradation of others. (3) Forget president. This is hardly the judgment, intelligence or temperment required of a senator. Mia T, 1.06.04

[W]hen White House Counsel... Abner Mikva finally bowed to the law and delivered subpoenaed documents, she and her White House scandal team lashed at him with such a vicious streak of humiliating profanity that he resigned. Barbara Olson |
"Anyone that stood up... was smashed down and belittled,very personally. [N]ot only would she sort of humiliate you in front of your colleagues or whoever happened to be around, Hillary tended to kind of campaign against people behind their back, and that was certainly my experience." former Clinton press secretary Dee Dee Myers

Longtime Hillary aide Carolyn Huber, who saved Mrs. Clinton's buns in 1996 with a convenient cover story about how her mysterious Rose Law Firm billing records magically appeared in the White House book room, described the former first lady's fits of rage to Sheehy as nearly lethal. "The person on the receiving end never gets over it," Huber remembered, reportedly shivering as she spoke those words. Hillary's Scheme |
The rages continued even after Mrs. Clinton took up residence in the White House, where she blew up at a Secret Service agent for declining to carry her bags. When the agent explained that he needed to keep his hands free in order to protect her, she replied, "If you want to remain on this detail, get your f**king ass over here and grab those bags."

clinton's tin ear, foul mouth and malignant essence are legendary. I am reminded of the final scene in "The Dead Zone." Christopher Walken unmasks a narcissistic politico running for the Senate (aptly played by Martin Sheen) as the dangerous, self-serving demagogue that he is. The dangerous demagogue, realizing that he's finished, blows himself away... a perfect ending.... The only problem with this analogy is that clinton is--both clintons are--far too self-absorbed to see the cooked goose beyond their collective fat a$$... and too craven to do anything about it, in any case.... ABOUT FACE
Her empty head should be.
I doubt that she gets it, even now.
His rage...
Her rage...
A distinction without
a difference.
The clintons are ignoble,
narcissistic,
craven, gutless
and full of rage.
As are all rapists....
Poetic justice in the end.
The clintons will become prisoners
-- Cartesian and Freudian --
of their own depravity.
Imprisoned in the hermetic confines
of an evil, narcissistic life,
their world will finally and fittingly
become as small as they,
themselves, are.
What is most upsetting (but not surprising) is to read Michelle Naef, administrator of M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence excuse it all by saying: "I don't think she was, in any way, trying to demean Mahatma Gandhi...To be generous to her, I would say it was a poor attempt at humor..." Would she be that 'generous' if said by a republican?
Yes, Mia.
Some day.
