Us vs us

BuzzFlash's longest headline evar:

"Senator Clinton Tries Something She, Like Bush, is Not Used to Doing, Apologizing. But Read It Closely. She Even Has Adopted the Republican Non-Apology Apology. This is the Senator "Apologizing" for Bill Clinton's South Carolina Racially-charged Remarks: ""I want to put that in context. You know I am sorry if anyone was offended. It was certainly not meant in any way to be offensive," Hillary Clinton said. "We can be proud of both Jesse Jackson and Senator Obama." One, She Didn't Apologize for the Remarks; She Did What Trent Lott and Other GOPers Have Done: Apologized if the Remarks "Offended" Anyone Putting the Onus on Anyone Offended. Two, She Framed the Faux Apology in the Same Way Bill Originally Made It Racially Charged, by Pairing Obama with Jackson and Ignoring that Bill Clinton Won the South Carolina Primary After Jackson, As Did Other White Males. This is Called Keeping the Issue Alive Under the Guise of Appearing to, but Not Actually, Regretting It. Oh Yeah, at About the Same Time Keith Olbermann was Trashing the Senator for Her Descent Into the Lee Atwater Gutter of Racial Politics, She FINALLY "Repudiated" Ferraro after a Long Period of Vaguely But Not Definitively Distancing Herself from the Remarks. In Short, She Kept the Archie Bunker Atwater Strategy Alive While Appearing to Regret if Anyone Misinterpreted Things. No, Senator Clinton, You, I and Your Staff Know Exactly What is Going on, As do a Large Number of Even the Mainstream Press Nowadays. You're out of the Closet on Race Now, And No One Expects for You to Drop the Baiting in PA, Since it Appeals to Many in Your Core Constituency There."
I'm not going to say anything except shit like this has really got to stop.

Hillary Clinton could crawl backwards uphill naked over 20 miles of broken glass shards, whipping herself with a cat-o-nine tails through a hair shirt, on her way to give a sloppy blow job to Obama while sobbing uncontrollably how dreadfully sorry she that she, anyone who ever worked for her, knew her, or passed her on the street had ever said anything even remotely negative about him, black people or Democrats in general, then put a gun in her mouth and blow her own brains out, and the Obamamaniacs would STILL not believe she "really means it."

They'd probably just say, "good, the evil bitch Hitlery is finally out of the race!" on their way to spit on her gore-splattered body.

Yeah, you're right Maru, this shit has got to stop.
