Hillary - Queen of Sleaze (and Faulty Memory)

Hillary Clinton continues to try to sleaze her way to winning the Democrat nomination and rather than explaining why she’s the better candidate she is simply trying to destroy Obama. As 365gay.com is reporting, Hillary is doing her damnedest to disingenuously keep the Rev. Wright controversy alive. Interestingly enough, it now looks like Hillary may be the one to disavow some of her own affiliations, beginning with her own former pastor who has made supportive statements concerning Rev. Wright. Similarly, Hillary needs to explain why she appears to be in league with the likes of Richard Mellon Scaife, a principal financial backer of some of the most hateful and insane elements of the Christianist far right who funded the Arkansas Project, which was set up to destroy Bill Clinton. You've heard of Paula Jones, Vince Foster's "murder," Troopergate, and Whitewater? Mellon Scaife is responsible for all of them, yet Hillary is ass kissing Scaife and his editorial board. Then there’s Hillary circulating a hit piece by the American Spectator. One would truly think from such conduct that she was the GOP candidate.

Here’s a highlight from 365gay.com (http://www.365gay.com/Newscon08/03/032608clint.htm) showing Hillary trying to breathe new life into the Wright controversy:

"I think that given all we have heard and seen, he would not have been my pastor," Clinton said at a news conference after being asked if Obama should have left the church. She declined to say what Obama should have done, or whether the subject is now a legitimate topic for her appeals to Democratic superdelegates, the party leaders who will decide whether she or Obama will be the presidential nominee.

I cannot help but wonder what Hillary thinks of the remark made by her own former pastor, Dean J. Snyder of Foundry United Methodist Church, concerning Wright? Is she going to condemn Mr. Snyder too? Hopefully, some journalist will grow some balls and ask her this very question point blank and see how fast she throws Snyder under the bus. Here's Snyder's comment (http://www.democrats.org/page/community/post/deborahwilliams/CpVd):

The Reverend Jeremiah Wright is an outstanding church leader whom I have heard speak a number of times. He has served for decades as a profound voice for justice and inclusion in our society. He has been a vocal critic of the racism, sexism and homophobia which still tarnish the American dream. To evaluate his dynamic ministry on the basis of two or three sound bites does a grave injustice to Dr. Wright, the members of his congregation, and the African-American church which has been the spiritual refuge of a people that has suffered from discrimination, disadvantage, and violence. Dr. Wright, a member of an integrated denomination, has been an agent of racial reconciliation while proclaiming perceptions and truths uncomfortable for some white people to hear. Those of us who are white Americans would do well to listen carefully to Dr. Wright rather than to use a few of his quotes to polarize. This is a critical time in America’s history as we seek to repent of our racism. No matter which candidates prevail, let us use this time to listen again to one another and not to distort one another’s truth.

The woman increasingly sickens me and has managed to remind me of all the reasons I could not stand the Clinton presidency. Both she and Bill lack honor, integrity and morals. The USA does NOT need more of their nasty style of leadership.
