Oxymoronic: Hillary's Manufactured Authentic Moments
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 06/17/2015 5:16:03 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

What does it say about Hillary Clinton that her campaign feels the need to artificially create supposedly real, authentic moments for her?

On today's Morning Joe, Kasie Hunt observed that in this election cycle, "the demand seems to be for raw, unfiltered, real type of moments. I think that they're trying very hard to create that with her." Jon Meacham—seizing the oxymoronic irony—jumped in: "they're manufacturing it." Bingo. Nothing says raw, real and unfiltered like a moment manufactured by a horde of hacks, handlers and hangers-on.

How can a campaign “feel” anything?

Transreality is necessary for America’s Greatest Crime family to operate.

Oh, yeah, she's real, alright.

She's the picture-perfect image of a "public nuisance".....
a troublesome angry woman. What used to be known as
a "Common Scold".....a nuisance to the public peace.

The querolous Hillary wagging her finger, berating
Americans for actually achieving the American Dream.

VOTERS NEED TO MARK THIS WELL: The Clintons, alone,
want to decide who gets the American Dream....using govt power
and our tax dollars.

Her campaign is fake because SHE'S fake.

Her entire persona and her ‘career’ she likes to brag about are a sham.

Only people who are THEMSELVES deluded would seriously consider her for President.

The Clintons are the ultimate Kabuki American politicians... but I guess with a Kabuki MSM and a Kabuki educational system... it all works out.

But the media dutifully reports it. Like the 9yo kid this week who had his handwritten and signed note asking to be excused from school because he was going to meet Hillary. He wrote his age (9) under his signature and had the line for Hillary to counter-sign it, which she did—with the cutesy asterick of “really” included.

A photo of the relevant sections made the press, along with the story. A hackneyed, complete, “Baby Milk Factory” moment from her Baghdad Bob handlers.

Good one! And there was also that raw, unfiltered moment when Bill and Hillary danced on the beach!

She Who Must Not Be Named is the most ruthless and incompetent woman ever to stalk the halls of power. Never forget that she is a student and disciple of Saul Alinsky. She has used the Rules for Radicals extensively in clawing her way to the top.

Her ultimate goal has always been the Oval Office. Her boast of being “Co-President” was not idle hubris. When her legal career was thwarted after Watergate, she married into power, using William the Impeached as a stepping stone.

She then used the NY Senate seat as another springboard to power but was foiled again, this time by the Chicago Machine, who had already chosen Odinga to carry the party banner.

Examine her personality. She has the need to dominate. It’s not enough that people obey her commands; they must be forced to obey against their will, or the needed gratification is not derived.

She is a compulsive liar. She is a consummate fraud. She is a lesbian with a deep-seated hatred of the men who, in her mind, deny her her rightful place in history. Never again must she be allowed to approach the levers of authority, for that day will spell the doom of the Republic.

Another memory - Bill’s morph from a belly laugh to wiping away a tear at Ron Brown’s funeral - it runs in the family.

The most important characteristic in a politician is sincerity. When they learn to fake that, they are unstoppable./sarc/

But Hillary had a number of carefully planned, well scripted spontaneous encounters with thoroughly vetted campaign operatives during her Scooby van tour.

How can anyone question her painstakingly managed authenticity?

If we just give her some room (insert wide-load joke here) to do a few more campaign kickoff do overs the real Hillary will emerge.

i want to see carly and donald rip her ass wide open.. they will pull no punches and she will crumble under the stress.

she is mentally and physically ill, on drugs and alcohol and brain damaged.

she moves like a disneyworld automaton in the hall of the presidents... she is plastic, mechanical and 100% fake... she is an actor pretending to be a person, and doing a poor job of it... the gawking smiles, the pointing to no one in particular, the waves to no one the outreached arms palms up, the mechanical movements... hysterical.... like elaine dancing on seinfeld... nervous and jerkey...
