Slog - Comments on And Now, Clinton Hits Back at Obama http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/07/and_now_clinton_hits_back_at_obama From a Clinton campaign press release: Senator Clinton taped an interview with CNN's John King this afternoon where she was asked to react to Barack Obama referring to her as "Bush-Cheney Lite." The following is what Senator Clinton said (the interview will air later this afternoon on CNN): SEN. CLINTON: "Well, this is getting kind of silly. I've been called a lot of things in my life but I've never been called George Bush or Dick Cheney certainly. We have to ask what's ever happened to the politics of hope? "I have been saying consistently for a number of years...

Hillary is so tough, they make her wear pink jackets to "soften" her. She could eat all these guys for lunch.

Of course, there's no way the leader of a country with a $13 trillion GDP could hope to hold their own in a meeting with the leader of one with a GDP of $45 billion. It'd be used for propaganda and the next thing you know, Cuba would own the Yankees.

Better to be cautious. None of this "risky" talking with people.

America is retarded enough to believe what republicans have dished on her, which is while she's a bad choice for our candidate. One word I've heard a left-leaning moderate idiot I know use to describe her: Murderer. That's a drum Sean Hannity is still beating, and there's plenty retarded enough to listen.

I like Clinton too, and with some reservations, but it is painfully obvious that she is more ready to be President than Obama.

The only figure I can think of in literature who combines these traits is Baphomet ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baphomet )... So assuming Hillary is indeed Baphomet, what would that say about her beliefs and her policies? I will go with the latter day prophet Aleister Crowley's opinion on this one; he claimed to be a manifestation of that spirit.
"Do as thou wilt shall be the whole of law," said Crowley. Sounds kind of Libertarian. Guess she's the Democrat's Ron Paul.

Then i read the slog hoping for a progressive viewpoint and clearly many people are threatened by Hillary and willing to use her gender as their bashing point. It is a sad misogynist day.
