THE VOUCHER RANT OF MISS HILLARY:
Well, FReeper 2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten has nailed it.
Miss-hillary-of-the-plantation delivered her rant in the form and cadence of an ethnic joke. (And we all know that hillary clinton has had considerable practice doing ethnic jokes.... And slurs.)
First of all I have a liberal aunt/uncle pair who have been in education as well as other liberal causes their entire lives. I can vividly recall being in their house about 3 years ago or so, and they made this exact argument to me i.e. we can't have vouchers because they might be used to send someone to a KKK school or whatever. So this "argument" has clearly been floating around in education circles for a reasonably long period of time and is probably routinely pulled out and dusted off when need be. Missus clinton probably heard this argument and decided to use it making it sound like she had thought it up.
What is more curious to me is her delivery. It is told in the exact same format as you might tell an ethnic joke. If you go back an listen, some of the internal cadences resemble an ethnic joke. She's making a policy argument but the rhythm, the cadences, the sonata form is as if she were saying "Catholic, Jew, White Supremacist and Jihadist walk into a bar".
Usally these jokes are told with 3 examples, the first two for the setup, and the last one for the punchline. In her case she has 2 setup and 2 punchline. Which has its own disconcerting effect as we're not used to 2 punchlines!
[NOTE: Two punchlines because missus clinton has two target demographic groups--blacks and white women.-- Mia T]
But again, this is yet another demonstration of her political tone deafness--this is not the cadence of political speech-- this is the cadence of someone telling a bad ethnic joke and one in which the audience just wishes they were somewhere else.
One gets the feeling that she tells a lot of these jokes, tells them poorly, but woe be unto Those Who Will Not Laugh.
You vill hear ze joke and you vill like it, jah?

illary clinton's voucher rant 1 is really not about vouchers at all.
Blatant hypocrisies, silly non sequiturs and dangerous lies make it easy to miss the underlying machinations.
So put aside for a moment Chelsea's private-school education at Sidwell Friends and Stanford... put aside standard issue clinton race-hate politics. Put them aside, for now.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
Adherence to the rule of law is not something normally associated with the clintons. Moreover, racial and ethnic disrespect, intimidation, exploitation and hate have always been a fundamental clinton tactic and the reflexive use the "N"-word and other racial and ethnic slurs, an essential element in the clinton lexicon. When the "first black president" and his wife ran Arkansas, the NAACP sued them for intimidating black voters at the polls.
Focus instead on the underlying machinations....
Missus clinton was speaking to the South Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation, (SoBRO), an organization that has taken on the formidable challenge of rebuilding a community whose name alone 'evokes images of burned out buildings, crime, poverty, and drugs.' (NB: Thirty-nine percent of the South Bronx is Black and 60% is Hispanic. Thirty-nine percent live below the poverty level.)
Capitalist sensibilities and faith-based initiatives drive SoBRO. This is precisely the kind of group that would be sympathetic to vouchers. (And to Republicans!)
So what does demagogue hillary do?
What else? She vulgarizes vouchers. She conflates vouchers with lynchings... and beheadings... and anti-Semitism and anti-Catholicism for good measure. In fact, given all the possible combinations and permutations of conflations actual, hypothetical and fantastical, bigots of every stripe can find something to savor in missus clinton's demagogic anti-voucher rant.

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin
It is no accident that missus clinton invoked white supremacists and jihadists in her discussion of vouchers in the South Bronx.
WHY WHITE SUPREMACISTS?
For hillary to win in '08, she must--to borrow her own phrase--keep the black vote 'on the plantation.' That is to say, she must keep them dirt poor, disinformed and dependent. No vouchers for them!
Katrina demonstrates the consequences of 'plantation' politics in real time. It is estimated that 80% of the Katrina-induced black diaspora will not return to New Orleans.

THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT?
clinton legacy of lynching update
by Mia T, 7.23.05
Ironically, the logic of this pronouncement by Martin Luther King would, in short order, be refuted by the reality of his own lynching. King's hope was misplaced and his reasoning was circular. The resultant rule of law relied on by King presumed an adherence to the rule of law in the first instance.
"When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation, and you know what I'm talkin' about. [Note the gratuitous g-dropping.]
... We have a culture of corruption. We have cronyism. We have incompetence. I predict to you that this administration will go down in history as one of the worst that has ever governed our country."
(Miss hillary also apologized to a group of Hurricane Katrina evacuees in the audience "on behalf of a government that left you behind.)

THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT?
clinton legacy of lynching update
Full transcript. Video excerpt: RealPlayer or Windows Media. Plus MP3
The election of 2004 confirmed missus clinton's worst fears2:
9/11 and the clintons' willful, utter failure for eight years to confront terrorism) were transformative. They caused a political realignment--for all practical purposes permanent--that is not good news for clinton, or for the Democrats, generally.

"Suppose you're meeting today to decide who got the vouchers.
First parent comes, says, 'I wanna send my daughter to St. Peter's Roman Catholic School.' You say, 'Great. Wonderful school. Here's your voucher.'
Next parent comes, says, 'I wanna send, you know, my child to the Jewish Day School.' 'Great. Here's your voucher.'
Next parent comes, says, 'I wanna send my child to the private school that I've always dreamed of sending my child to.' 'Fine. Here's your voucher.'
Next parent comes, says, 'I wanna send my child to the School of the Church of the White Supremacist. 'Say, wait a minute. You can't send--we're not giving you a voucher for that.' And the parent says, 'Well, the way I read Genesis, Cain was marked. Therefore, I believe in white supremacy. And therefore, you gave it to Catholic parent, you gave it to a Jewish parent, gave it to a secular private school parent. Under the Constitution, you can't discriminate against me.'
So the next parent comes and says, 'I wanna send my child to the School of the Jihad.' 'Wait a minute! We're not gonna send a child with taxpayer dollars to the School of the Jihad.' .Well, you gave it to the Catholics, you gave it to the Jews, you gave it to the private secular people. You're gonna tell me I can't. I'm a taxpayer under the Constitution.'
Now, tell me, how are we gonna make those choices."

By contrast, Bush won only 45% of white women in 2000, so he upped is percentages by 10 points.
In 1996, bill clinton won 48% of white women compared to Bob Dole's 43%.
That is a huge, huge difference. I don't think you can lay all that at the doorstep of moral values.
I think that this president unabashedly and abjectly took the issue of terror and used it to terrorize... white women."
HEAR HAROLD ICKES
"If you look at white women, and I think that was the key to this election, Kerry won 45% based on the exit polls--but they're generally in agreement--Kerry won 45%, Bush won 55% of white women.
Washington Journal
Nov. 8, 2004
C-SPAN
In the immediate aftermath of the 2004 presidential election, a journalistic consensus emerged to explain George W. Bush's victory. Despite the sluggish economy and deteriorating situation in Iraq, voters supported Bush primarily because of his values. One prominently featured exit poll question showed "moral values" to be the most important issue for voters, ahead of terrorism, Iraq, and the economy. Backlash against the Massachusetts court ruling allowing gay marriage and attraction of Bush's appeals to Christian faith helped bring out socially conservative voters and cement Bush's second term. This explains why Bush won Ohio, for example, where an anti-gay marriage proposal was on the ballot. However compelling this story might be, it is wrong.
Instead, Bush won because married and white women increased their support for the Republican ticket....
In this article I briefly account for the factors behind Bush's rise in the state-by-state popular vote between 2000 and 2004. This is not the same as identifying who elected Bush. That sort of analysis would put responsibility on white men since they voted 61-38 for Bush and comprise almost half of the active electorate. Instead, I focus on what changed between 2000 and 2004. In this view, it is white women who are responsible because they showed more aggregate change.
Identifying a cause for this shift looks for an explanation also in things that changed in the past four years. For example, John Kerry was not exactly Al Gore, so differences between Bush's two opponents could be a factor. But I suggest that such differences are dwarfed by a much larger intervention: the attacks of September 11. Turnout was up in 2004 because the perceived heightening of the stakes after 9-11 and because of intense competition between the candidates in a small number of battleground states. Higher turnout also appears to have helped Bush slightly. But it was the shift of married white women from the Democratic camp to the Republican camp that gave him the edge in 2004.

But no republican has the wherewithal to loudly chase these dem carpetbaggers around and insist they have no right to black votes when they will not help black kids go to better schools. Scumbags like the Clintons shouldn't get elected dog catcher, IF republicans really had the cajones to take them on. Instead, you just had Rove APOLOGIZE for saying what everybody knows about Hilary.

Great post, Mia and 2 Kool.

Mia T. Bump.
Actually, I wonder about this.
Connie London, (the black woman in the above video shot outside the Astrodome), is the counterexample. The significant percentage of the Katrina diaspora refusing to return to New Orleans is the counterexample. (I believe the NO electorate will be majority white for the first time in decades.)
Miss hillary was addressing a sophisticated crowd sympathetic to the idea of vouchers, capitalism, faith-based initiiatives AND REPUBLICANS.
I think she understand that unless she keeps them on the plantation, she will lose them to the GOP and the Ds will go down the drain.
I agree. See my post #18.

Exactly! Now all she needs is an opponent with no backbone and caught up the w/PC crap and she's in. I'm sure her 900 FBI files are coming in handy even though she has more garbage than anyone and it hasn't hurt her so far.
I think the Clintons purposely collect so much garbage so that John Q. Public will think, "No one can be that bad. The enemies of the Clintons must be making most of it up."
Thanks for the Ping, Mia T. You are fighting the good fight in a memorable way.
Oh definitely - thank you.
As I posted to another thread (and as I've posted to you before) I think the number one overlooked topic on things clinton is the young oxford scholar's trips to Czecho and Muscovy as a young lad. I think this is something that needs more exploration - I think I may do an essay about it. It has always bothered me - a lot!
Thanks.
That's true and I often hear that more Blacks and non-white Hispanics are turning to the GOP but every time the election results are posted those rumors prove to be false.A few counter examples do not a movement make.
What you say is true, but I think Katrina constitutes a de facto movement, a movement-in-fact, one that terrifies the left. The failure of the 60-year liberal welfare state is embodied in Katrina.
The fact of the matter is blacks are not returning to New Orleans; the voter base has been forever altered. So, in a sense, the blacks did vote. With their feet.
Look forward to your essay! Don't forget to ping me. ;)
thanx :)
I'm in total agreement with you. Unfortunately, it's working. Brings to mind - willy's words , "because I can'.
Mia, this is exceptional.
A few thoughts...
Connie London is not the counter-example.
Connie London IS THE EXAMPLE.
Hillary Clinton is the viscious, raging, white bitch mistress standing on the plantation wagon ordering the slave masters to brand her property, burn all knowledge and independence out of existence, cut hands and feet off to keep the thoughts of runaways in line, and then whip the the very literal and figurative life from her slaves.
Connie London spit on Hillary and told her to get f'd.
Yes.
Clintons do more than triangulate...they omni-angulate.
thx. :)
Good point. Connie London is a courageous woman.
I hope you're right.
I know I am ; )
I just hope Connie knows it.
If she doesn't, someone should find her and tell her.
If she does, someone should hold the door for her to come out and say it again.
Hope has two sisters:
Anger and Courage.
Anger at the way things are
and
Courage to make a difference.

bump!
bump!!
People who are uninformed, might not be able to grasp that Hillary is indeed dangerous. Connie London expresses her disgust, and that's a darn good start.
I think the majority of NO should be rebuilt, but it shouldn't be done by the current crop of LA politicians. New Orleans is historical, and the city will always be home to those who left, probably never to come back, but it will always be home. These people know that they were not represented by the people they probably elected, ie: Nagin, Blanco, Landrieu, etc. Crooks frittered away government money instead of attempting to prevent damage that everyone knew was going to happen, sooner or later. NO has dodged so many deadly hurricanes, that the state should have been actively preparing for the inevitable. The residents know this. They may not talk about it publicly, but they know. Connie London has the courage to speak out.
Hillary once again plays the race card, but this is 2006. People want off the damn plantation already! This is something that conservative politicians need to address. They need to pound it into those that are still under the impression that people like Hillary have their best interests at heart. This is a golden opportunity to help our fellow Americans, and I hope we don't blow it.
Truth bump!
Beautifully stated. Thanks :)
GONE WITH THE WIND hillary clinton New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin If Katrina's inescapable allusion is the parting of the Red Sea, (and it is): Miss hillary's 'plantation' metaphor, ostensibly about Bush and the Republicans, is really about the clintons and Katrina and New Orleans and the Democratic Party. (The Left generally, and the clintons, in particular, are notoriously projectional.) Katrina has opened the eyes of the poor -- mostly black -- underclass, the Left's absolutely essential -- and until now, captive -- constituency. The clintons and the Left are terrified that these poor people will finally see what has been before them for 60 years: Not only a failed idea, but a party whose power depends on perpetuating that failure. The clintons and the Left are terrified that these people will finally see the modern Democratic party for what it is: a bunch of bitter, self-serving, moribund, power-hungry, dangerous elistists whose very existence depends keeping them Indeed, the people are already seeing.
'CULTURE OF CORRUPTION' Finally, why the shameless "culture of corruption" harangue? Its tactical purpose was diversionary. Miss hillary had no politically helpful answer to the question, ("Why did you vote for the war?"), having previously staked out Iraqi territory apparently populated by no one. But "culture of corruption" also served a broader, strategic function: the inflation of the clinton legacy. Downward revision ("defining deviancy down") is the classic clinton m.o., (see Jefferson double-helix hoax), (although clinton, exposed, will often argue the obverse: the double negative offers the illusion of higher ground.) Posthumous misappropriation, for obvious reasons the clintons' preferred method of legacy inflation, was unavailable. Not a problem. Miss hillary will take whatever she can get. One has merely to recall the Jefferson double-helix hoax to understand that posthumous misappropriation is, for the obvious reason, the clintons' preferred method of legacy inflation
. Standard-Issue clintonism If misappropriation of Jefferson's alleles hinged on a broken line of descent, misappropriation of Moynihan's endorsement depends on a broken line of dissent. Like Sally Hemmings' progeny, Moynihan's later acquiescence is of dubious lineage Mia T, Moynihan Myths
