Hillary Demagoguery

 

Clinton slams GOP rival's Cuba remark

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - Taking a swipe at a potential GOP presidential rival, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton on Saturday criticized Fred Thompson for suggesting illegal Cuban immigrants pose a terrorist threat.

"I was appalled when one of the people running for or about to run for the Republican nomination talked about Cuban refugees as potential terrorists," Clinton told Hispanic elected officials. "Apparently he doesn't have a lot of experience in Florida or anywhere else, and doesn't know a lot of Cuban-Americans."

   Thompson posted Thursday on his campaign blog saying he had been referring to Cuban spies, not immigrants. "Our national security is too important an issue to let folks twist words around for a one-day headline," Thompson said in his post. "Cuban-Americans are among the staunchest opponents of illegal immigration, and especially so when it's sponsored by the Castro regime."

………………

   This is a typical Hillary demagoguery.  She went to a city where Cubans abound and spoke in the true fashion of a charlatan. I did not hear or see the video but I am pretty sure she spoke with  the affectation of a tin can orator atop a soapbox. Notice that Hillary is issuing blanket statements, like she is speaking of gospel truths.  This is characteristic of demagogues and rabble rousers talking specifically to a selected audience, telling them what is pleasing to their ears, with utter disregard of truth and nuances of truth.

   I find this attitude and mindset of a person running for the White House very disturbing. It is too self-serving, and translated on global scope on which the White House is anchored,  Hillary will be looking at the world thru the eyes of a frog in a well looking at the sky. Fred Thomson summed it up succinctly:  folks twisting words around for a one day headline.
