Politicians as Symbols

[ZenGum]

I just want to say, to Merc and a few others, that I disapprove of using names like "Hitlery Cliton" and such for Hillary Clinton.

No, I don't think she's a great candidate. She looks much the same as the rest, evasive, posturing, deal-making, ambition-driven, hypocritical, only as honest as she thinks she needs to be, and as corrupt as she can get away with.

But really, she is nothing like Hitler. He could make a speech that would get people fired up, for one thing. Oh and all the crazy lebensraum/ubermench crap. There's a Goodwin's Law thing here.

Cliton? So she's got a clitoris rather than a penis. So what? Do the contents of the president's underpants matter to you? Do you think being a national leader is beyond any woman, ever?

So criticize, sure, but there are plenty of accurate, reasonable criticisms to make without resorting to the Hitler nonsense. That line just makes you look silly.

Hey, I guess if I was a repressed gay or homophobe I might have a crush on her since she is so manly. Alas, no, I just don't want her to be president.
