The 25+ year Right Wing Radio crusade against the Clintons has failed

Last edited Tue Jun 21, 2016, 09:39 PM - Edit history (4)

After 25+ years of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Bob Grant, Mark Levin, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Laura Ingraham and others attacking the Clintons and trying to stop them by any means necessary, they are now faced with the prospect of watching them retake the presidency!

All those years trying every trick in the book to put the Clintons away for good and nothing has stopped them!

And here they are again a hair's breathe away from the power of the presidency! And Trump is already getting clobbered out of the gate.

Aww man, that's gotta burn conservatives and ditto heads.

The Right Wing tears of unfathomable sadness on election night after such a long struggle to do away with the Clintons will be titanic.

I mean, they failed. They failed miserably. They spent 25+ years on a crusade to take down the Clinton's and they failed miserably. The Clintons are stronger than ever and about to reach the highest rung of American power for the second time!

I mean, Hillary is a demon to conservatives.

How does Rush Limbaugh not commit suicide after this? In his mind, after devoting his life to stopping the Clintons he must see himself as a colossal loser.

...that after all the attacks the Clinton's faced before and during Bill's run and administration, they wouldn't want to face that again.

But no it's "Oh, you want you come at us again? Okay, come at us. Show us what you got. We're going in for a second time."

What does that say about the impotence of the Right Wing machine that the Clinton's are going for another run at the presidency?

What can the Right Wing Radio propaganda machine talk about after the Clinton's reach the highest seat of power for a second time after all they've already thrown at them?

They will have to feel absolutely impotent, pointless and irrelevant.

best post (the one to which you replied) I've seen since I read The Hunting of the President

that said, I will not agree with the OP until the election returns are in

you can be CERtain the media will turn on her full bore once the Trump/regular repubs thing is settled and the media have their preferred candidate

Obama was fortunate to have the pleasing persona he has, which allowed him to rise above the all out attack of the right wing and their media accomplices, much the same way WJC did, even surviving impeachment on totally bogus, terminally hypocritical grounds

Hillary, unfortunately, does not have the pleasing aspect of the aforementioned duo.

just watch and wait

it's going to be by FAR the ugliest presidential election ever

What you really want to do is just remove the apostrophe. There's no posessive or contraction involved here. It's just a plural. Also there's one in the body of the post. Please pardon me going on about it, but I figured since your were willing to go down the road, we might as well get it right. Thanks again!

their 25+ year Crusade against reason, intelligence and critical thinking has been wildly successful

look no further than Joni Erntz, Tom Cotton, and Mark Bevin as examples of Hate Radio's success

how does he not commit suicide? he deposits his fat paycheck, looks around his luxury estate, and takes off to the Dominican Republic for some more viagra-fueled "recreation" with children.

If the Clinton's' reach the White House again, there's no point in talking and "exposing" them anymore...The country will have shown they are clearly deaf to his tantrums.

Rush will become irrelevant.

The dude has made over half a billion from his stop the Clinton act. Some people apparently never tire of his stuff, but there is no doubt Bill and Hillary helped Rush make mint. They were the best thing ever for him and RW radio in general. The more they win, the better RW ratings are. When RW are in charge and the problems of the country are clearly their fault...their ratings suffer.

I lived an Arkansas and when Bill brought home his Yankee wife she was not much liked by the homeboys. And remember this was before Reagan and not all conservatives had fled to the republicans so democrats attacked her for being s flaming liberal.

And horrors, she did not take his name until after he lost reelection in 80. But he won it back in 82.

There has been no one in America attacked as much as that woman. It has even effected some democrats thinking.

I so hope she has the last laugh.
