Slick Willie
They don’t call him “Slick Willie” for nothing! To bad for the DNC that he’s not the one who’s running! Tonight, Mr. Clinton gave an impassioned, if lengthy, sales pitch for his wife’s candidacy. Many points were made and do not need to be reiterated here. I think it’s more telling, however, to consider not so much what he put IN the speech, but what he left OUT. It’s true there was one very questionable inclusion (the part about Hillary being “completely trustworthy”) but the omissions tonight trumped, if you will, the inclusions. In speaking about their allegedly warm family life, Mr. Clinton left out, of course, the constant discord. He left out the lamp throwing fights (one of which is reported in the book by Kate Anderson Brower, a former reporter for Bloomberg News). The lovelessness. The multiple infidelities (likely on the part of BOTH). In describing Hillary’s public life, Mr. Clinton left out Hillary’s support during the ’70’s of the Black Panthers, including the Panther that tortured and murdered another member for suspected disloyalty. He left out her anti-Americanism. Her blazè attitude toward anti police violence. Her indifference to inner city crime. Her intention to radically reduce incarceration rates in America, in effect letting MORE criminals back on the street. Her perfunctory response to Islamic terror. Her intention to INCREASE Muslim immigration from 10,000 this year to SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND each year going forward! Her callous disregard for our patriots in Benghazi in mortal danger. Her obstruction of justice. Her blatant intimidation of her husband’s many paramours. Her “careless” behavior (as determined by the FBI) in regard to American security. I could go on, but it’s late. I will conclude, therefore with a request. Voters, when considering your vote in the 2016 election, do keep in mind the many things Mr. Clinton did NOT say this evening.
