Yesterday, Donviti had a post about Hillary signing on for the terrible McCain plan of a federal tax holiday on gas for the summer. This is a clear case of the wrong answer to the question. I think it is designed to appeal to Hillary’s base, the uneducated masses. While snarky, it is indeed the demographic in which she is strongest.
Almost missed in the hullabaloo of the PA primary, was the fact that she threatened to commit genocide. No, I’m not being bombastic. When discussing Iran and Israel, Hillary said that if Iran attacked Israel, she would “totally obliterate” Iran. Not, “We would defend Israel’s borders and sovereignty.” Not, “We would repel Iran and attack them in ways that would destabilize their government.” Rather, she will obliterate them. Men, women and children.
Let’s compare this to the BS that was trotted out against Obama when he said that if al Qaeda were pinpointed in the mountains of Waziristan, and Pakistan refused to help, he would bomb al Qaeda. That seems reasonable. Hillary’s response seems insane.
The only thing that I can think that she is doing is pandering to the Jewish voter and the Conservative Christian base that wants to keep Israel around long enough to usher in the apocalypse. Either way, it is dangerous and foolish.
