great point, great article!
I’ve cut ties with most of my family because of behavior she describes.
Did anyone know this story before now? I did not. Great article,
Quoted from the article:
“Back in 1975, after Hillary Rodham had followed Bill Clinton to Arkansas, she helped create the state’s first rape crisis hotline. She had her eye on the big picture. What was Hillary like in her one-on-one encounters?
“Hillary served as the attorney to a 41-year-old, one of two men accused of raping a 12-year-old girl. The girl, a virgin before the assault, was in a coma for five days afterward. She was injured so badly she was told she’d never have children. In 2014, she is 52 years old, and she has never had children, nor has she married. She reports that she was afraid of men after the rape.
“A taped interview with Clinton has recently emerged; on it Clinton makes clear that she thought her client was guilty, and she chuckles when reporting that she was able to set him free. In a recent interview, the victim said that Hillary Clinton “took me through Hell” and “lied like a dog.” “I think she wants to be a role model… but I don’t think she’s a role model at all,” the woman said. “If she had have been, she would have helped me at the time, being a 12-year-old girl who was raped by two guys.”
“Hillary had her eye on the all-caps resume bullet point: FOUNDS RAPE HOTLINE.
“Hillary’s chuckles when reminiscing about her legal victory suggest that, in her assessment, her contribution to the ruination of the life of a rape victim is of relatively negligible import.”

This article is brilliant. To bad lefties are too full of hate to recognize themselves in it.
Here’s a good one, which I never consolidated into concrete thought like he’s done:
“Haters are aware enough of how uncool it would be to use a slur like “fag,” so they sprinkle their discourse with terms indicating anal rape like “butt hurt.” Leftists taunt right-wingers as “tea baggers.” The implication is that the target of their slur is either a woman or a gay man being orally penetrated by a man, and is, therefore, inferior, and despicable.”
As I say, the Left is far worse about it, although it may be because their forums are not so well-moderated as FR. But I do wish conservative men would not do that knee-jerk misogyny too, the minute a woman disagrees with them.
This was so excellent I didn’t want it to end.
The gist of this article leads to the conclusion that “You can lead a liberal to logic, but you can’t make him think!”

Thanks for the post. Saved as a very succinct and useful guidebook. These are the stormtroopers for fascism. They are both dystopian and dangerous. Sadly, I don’t think they are fixable.

“”Truth is that which serves the party.” The capital-R revolution was such a good, it could eliminate all that was bad, that manipulating facts was not even a venial sin; it was a good. If you want to make an omelet, you have to break a few eggs. One of those eggs was objective truth.”
This is the problem of leftist and the Government supported ‘School’ indoctrinated(stolen) youth that we must now deal with.
Anyone who supports a party to such an extent will never change until they are made to suffer by the same party. If they are taught to hate us then we must love them and try to save them when they are indeed betrayed.
Then you will have an army of the most devoted and personally informed warriors against the communist left.
Excellent article.
I wonder what leftist forum she’s talking about where a thread from 2002 is still active in 2014.
There is a fascinating book on the topic: The End of Commitment by Paul Hollander. Highly recommended. Intense read in places - Hollander recounts a Soviet general whose evening commute took him by a prison. He said he lost faith when he began to hear the screams. I think our author has had a similar epiphany.
Good article, thanks for posting it. I’m also an erstwhile leftist, albeit lacking her analytical skills.
