Soon after Clinton's speech in Nevada calling Trump racist and anti-Semitic, I wrote a blog entry entitled Hillary, thy name is.... (Hypocrisy) and promised to write Part Two. http://caucus99percent.com/content/hillary-thy-name Time passed. I was just going to drop it, but Toxic hypocrisy Hillary Did It Again. (I'm riffing off the Spears songbook? Help!)

You know, to just be grossly generalistic you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic -- you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that.

Yes, Virginia, people like that do exist--and, unfortunately, the Democratic nominee for POTUS, whose campaign plane ironically bears the slogan "Stronger Together," has been one of them. So, Romney, who had "binders of women," dissed 47% of Americans and, observing how well that worked for him, Hillary, who has Trump supporters in a basket of deplorables, dissed half of Trump supporters. Boy, she really put the "progress" in center right, doesn't she? (Not to mention misusing the word "generalistic." https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/generalistic https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/generalist ) And, her "fix" was to say "half" was wrong.

Part One of this blog reviewed some of Hillary's intersections with race-related issues from childhood through her days as First Lady of Arkansas, a period of her life about which the general public knows little beyond what she and her husband have chosen to tell us. In addition, a book written by a childhood friend and alleged mistress of Bill Clinton cited racist, anti-Semitic and otherwise bigoted remarks by Hillary. https://www.amazon.com/Hillary-Other-Woman-Political-Memoir-ebook/dp/B01... and http://us.blastingnews.com/news/2016/06/new-book-recounts-racist-and-big... And....

In her support (as FLOTUS) for the 1994 crime bill, for example, she (Hillary) used racially coded rhetoric to cast black children as animals. “They are not just gangs of kids anymore,” she said. “They are often the kinds of kids that are called ‘super-predators.’ No conscience, no empathy. We can talk about why they ended up that way, but first we have to bring them to heel.”

https://www.thenation.com/article/hillary-clinton-does-not-deserve-black... As FLOTUS, Hillary also infamously spoke of the lack of dignity of people on welfare http://www.salon.com/2015/11/02/the_betrayal_that_should_haunt_hillary_c...

Hillary's defenders attempt to boomerang her comments about welfare recipients and super predators by claiming that assuming that Hillary was referring to minorities is itself racist. However, both "law and order" and welfare were established racist dog whistles long before Hillary used them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Wallace_presidential_campaign,_1968... and https://www.thenation.com/article/exclusive-lee-atwaters-infamous-1981-i...

As an aside, Bill Clinton was Governor of Arkansas from 1979 to 1981 and again from 1983 until he became President in 1992. It's difficult to imagine that he was unaware of a book entitled The Two-Party South that was published in 1984 and contained the infamous Atwater interview or of Reagan's references to "welfare queen" during his 1976 campaign. http://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/12/20/255819681/the-truth-be...

Some say that these comments are nothing. Really? These were prepared comments, spoken by a woman who was then FLOTUS. Would Democrats be dismissing them if Laura Bush had made the comments she lived in the White House? And how many bigoted comments are acceptable for a FLOTUS about to enter the Twenty-First Century, anyway?
