Win Some, Lose Some

Billy:

 It’s wonderful to see Field Marshal Rodham getting kicked in the teeth in South Carolina. What’s awful is the hysteria surrounding Obama.

…

I keep thinking about Martin Luther King’s admonition on the content of character. There is an aspect of Obama which is positively in accord with that, which is the fact that people in this country want socialism now. In this aspect, Obama’s political character is the “content” in demand. There is, however, far more than that going on in the breasts of the whoopers at the street level. I don’t think that they would be jumping up and down for him so hoppily if he weren’t so progressively slick. Consider that Walter E. Williams could never attract this kind of attention. Hell; Bill Cosby wouldn’t even be able to do it.

Nature of the beast. The frenzy needs be replaced, one for another, to the precise degree the first candidate has lost his or her appeal. Think if Obama had lost, he’d not be ignoring it, now? Look at Edwards, and his reactions… at least, those you can find. His losing fight doesn’t fit the mantra, either, ya see…

And, of course given that these are Democrats we’re talking about, only the positive side of it is going to be mentioned in the MSM. And there’s the key.

Understand; I’m not convicned the PEOPLE want socialism, as much as the media is feeding the desire.  Think they’d be making noise about Hillary Care, if the press wasn’t chanting that mantra daily?   As much noise as Cosby made over the years, as regards individual responsibility, (God Bless him!) the press wouldn’t pay much attention to him, not because he didn’t have a following, not because there weren’t people who agreed with him… LOTS of people… but because he didn’t chant the socialism mantra.

This kind of ignoring the reality of the situation is of a piece, I think, with the delusional denial you speak of with Hillary Clinton and her loss in South Carolina. It doesn’t push the ball toward the goal of socialism, so it gets ignored. The group guilt you speak of can also be accounted for, this way.

Barack Obama,  think of him as toast.  Just a few weeks ago Obama was the candidate who happened to be black who won in whiter than table salt Iowa.   Now Obama is the black candidate who won South Carolina..  The Clintons have transformed Obama from a candidate who was black to a black candidate.   Obama won Iowa in large part because he was not running as a black candidate.   After Obama won South Carolina, B.J. Clinton compared Obama to Jesse Jackson.

In the wake of Monica, B.J. used the Reverend Jackson to redeem himself.   When B.J. needed to saved, he used Jackson as his savior.  When B.J. wanted to smear  Obama as a black candidate, B.J. used Jackson.  With the Clintons, everybody is expendable.   Welcome to the club Jesse.
