Thread Name: Hillary's Offensive, Dangerous Comment
Subject: RE: Hillary's Offensive, Dangerous Comment
I am clearly posting impaired today.

In answer to you Rig, of course she wouldn't.

She & her family are just as at risk as Obama & his family.

She has never shown--and I mean NEVER--any proclivity towards making reckless and dangerous statements that would threaten anyone's personal security.

So this accusation by the propaganda punditry and internet bottom feeders, that she would intentionally say something that put the security of Obama & his family at risk, is just plain vile.

It is far too easy right now to ratchet up the drama and spin meister for your fave candidate on the internet, and get way too carried away with it all. You see it constantly on the most partisan blogs and websites, from Huffington Post on the supposed left, to Real Clear Politics on the right, are all doing it.

As far as I am concerned, it is just plain out of control this election cycle.

I have permanently turned away from all those sites, including some long standing icons of the alternative press, like The Nation. I stopped reading them in the run up to the 2004 election, because their editorial board was absolutely poisoned by presidential election partisan wars with the right.

When the media is so poisoned, nothing makes sense any more.

One read through of the political threads in this forum, like so many other forums that have become depressingly obsessed with horse race politics at the expense of all else, demonstrates the depth of the problem.

I consider it a side effect of addiction to MSM, myself.
