Hillary’s Racial Harangue

Democrats, Elections, Hillary Clinton, Race, Racism

If you want to be harangued non-stop—libeled a privileged racist, responsible for “structural racism,” if you happen to have been born white—vote for the Harridan Hillary. Haven’t you had enough of this offal? Here she is stomping around at the National Urban League’s conference in Fort Lauderdale:

“I don’t think you can credibly say that everyone has a right to rise and then say you’re for phasing out Medicare, or repealing Obamacare,” Clinton charged. “People can’t rise if they can’t afford health care. They can’t rise if the minimum wage is too low to live on. They can’t rise if their governor makes it harder for them to get a college education. And you can’t seriously talk about the right to rise and support laws that deny the right to vote.”

Rand Paul Looks Down At The Little People, Too

Left-Liberalism And Progressivisim, libertarianism, Republicans, Ron Paul

Rand Paul (R-KY) has the eyes of a dead fish. The man is charmless; antipathetic. Not surprisingly, he has a nasty streak. Rand, too, looks down on the little people for finding merit in Donald Trump.

“Wolf,” whined Paul to the CNN reporter, “if you would give [sic] some other candidates time from eight in the morning until eight at night all day long, every day for three weeks, I’m guessing some other candidates might rise as well.”

“I think this is a temporary sort of loss of sanity,” he added, “but we’re going to come back to our senses and look for somebody serious to lead the country at some point.”

Like Rand Paul, another dynastic politician, who, like liberal and Republican regimists, looks down at the little people?

The rest.

Liberals Look Down At The Little People*

The contempt shown by the condescending, none too bright Joan Walsh, Salon editor-in-chief, for Americans who like Donald Trump is the kind evinced by countless reporters and commentators like her. With one exception. Walsh was put in her place by former RNC chairman Michael Steele. Although a toady of the left, even Steel could not longer stomach the sneering smugness of the gasbag class:

Mediate:

During a somewhat heated exchange on Thursday evening’s Hardball, MSNBC contributor and former RNC chairman Michael Steele told Salon editor-in-chief Joan Walsh that her condescending attitude towards possible Donald Trump supporters is the exact reason those supporters flock to the celebrity billionaire in the first place.

After reviewing a brief video of a middle-class voter focus group raving about a potential Trump presidency, Walsh said, “I look at those people and I feel sad. That is really such a low common denominator. They’re all Republicans, they’re not all going to vote for him.”

Asked by Chris Matthews to explain what she meant by “low common denominator,” Walsh elaborated, “They’re really, they really don’t have a firm grasp on reality, on what it’s going to take to solve the country’s problems.” She later exclaimed that she would be “fine” with Trump using her quotes to bash “elite” media.

“I’m not fine with it,” Steele shot back, in the clip first flagged by NewsBusters reporter Ken Shepherd. “You want to know why Trump is doing what Trump is doing and the way he’s doing it? It’s because of comments like that. Because of attitudes like that.”

And then the key back-and-forth:

WALSH: Oh, sure!

STEELE: Your highbrow is looking down on my lowbrow. You are somehow better than me.

WALSH: No, I don’t think I’m better than them. No, I don’t. But they’re not thinking; they want to be entertained.

STEELE: But whether you said it or not, your comments relate that way and that’s the problem. And so — when people hear that, whether it’s from the media or Republicans in the party — they go, “This guy,” as the woman said, “he’s speaking to me. I may not agree with everything he’s saying, but he’s one of us. He’s a billionaire, but he’s one of us.”

Your comment, Joan, does not come off as, you’re one of us. And as long as they hear that, they’re not going to blame him.

WALSH: I’m so much more one of them than he is. I was not born to wealth, for God’s sake, Michael Steele.

*Little people by which is meant not the vulgar, badly bred dwarfs of reality TV (I saw one little woman kick off her panties and crawl bare bottom up onto a doc’s examination table, before opening a foul mouth to discuss her exposed anatomy), but the common or ordinary people of this country.

Lay Off Ann Coulter’s Good Looks

Aesthetics, Ann Coulter, Pop-Culture

Conservative-minded writers are known to cavil about the asinine worship of youth in this country—a thing that makes for a silly society. But why make older, still-lovely looking ladies feel ashamed for maintaining their good looks?

Fred Reed levels “the most unkindest cut of all,” to quote Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, at Ann Coulter for her youthful appearance.

Miss Ann is herself a curious piece of work. She is in her mid-fifties, but on her book jackets looks like a hot babe of twenty-two. Achieving this must require enough makeup to fill a peanut-butter sandwich, and I suspect that she has worked a couple of copies of Photoshop into smoking ruins. Do we have here a narcissistic attention-freak? A reporter might be a better idea. …

Sure, we’d all give a lot to look like we did when younger. But why diss women who age particularly well? (In this scribe’s case, because of genetics and Guinot.) My own old face has not had a scratch of work done to it and is holding up quite well. As to Ann: You can’t fake that glorious hair and the generally good bone structure; it holds it all up.

Love you, Fred, but lay off Ann’s looks.
