This Stupid Election Needs To End

CLINTON COMMENT LATEST CONTROVERSY IN PC PARTY NOMINATING PROCESS

FITSNews – May 24, 2008 – We honestly don’t know when politics got this stupid.

It’s like you can’t do anything, say anything or even think anything without people taking it a million different ways – all of them the wrong way. It’s even worse if you’re a Democrat – particularly a Democrat running for president – because the universe of people you can criticize is pretty much limited to white men who live below the Mason-Dixon line.

Anyway, we’ve written in the past about the anally-PC nature of the Democratic nominating fight – criticizing both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for playing along with our ridonkulously revisionist and ready-to-be-reviled culture. Seriously, it’s like half of America has absolutely nothing better to do than sit in front of their television sets waiting be offended, and then have Oprah Winfrey, Keith Olberman or Bill O’Reilly explain to them in excruciating detail why they ought to be offended.

The dust-up over Clinton’s “controversial” comment about Robert Kennedy is the perfect example, as the only person who has a right to be offended (RFK, Jr.) isn’t.

Apparently RFK, Jr. is in the minority, though, as people who weren’t alive when he was shot are spitting out press releases trying to make it look like Hillary’s comment was some morbid rationalization for staying in the Democratic race owing to legitimate concerns about Obama’s security.

One idiot at the Huffington Post went so far as to paraphrase Clinton by saying, “Why drop out of the race before all the assassins have had their say?”

Another idiot – a professor in that dumb ass country to the north of us – had this to say:

“Given the concerns that have been expressed over Mr. Obama’s safety, you would think she would stay away from it,” said Don Abelson, director of the Centre for American Studies at the University of Western Ontario. “It’s just not an appropriate reference to make. You would not even want to raise the possibility that Obama could be assassinated.”

Wait … what? Again, we can’t stand Hillary Clinton any more than the next red-blooded South Carolinian, but people like the Huffington writer and Canadian professor quoted above need a clue, and fast.

And similar to the vast majority of our conflict-inventing MSM, they also need to rediscover what breathing outside of their own anuses is like.

Clinton totally needs to drop out, there’s no doubt about that, but the reason isn’t electoral math or this latest manufactured offense – it’s the fact that this election has long since reached its annoyance threshold.

Seriously, if we have to listen to another Democrat-on-Democrat PC flare-up we may end up assassinating our television.
