Someone Get Rachel Sklary a Dramamine (hey, that rhymes with drama queen!). Because I think she's managed to make even herself dizzy with her own, warped logic. File this in the Elton John "misogyny" file, folks.
That's right. The previously unheard of Rachel Sklary is apparently not at all reserved when it comes to the use of sensationalist headlines. Case in point, her shitstorm of idiocy over at the Huffington Post: "Keith Olbermann's Idea For Beating Hillary: Literally Beating Hillary".
Said Olbermann: "Right. Somebody who can take her into a room and only he comes out.
What does that mean? Really, it can only mean one thing: Beating the crap out of Hillary Clinton, to the point where she is physically incapable of of getting up and walking out. At minimum. We know this. We know this because we have all seen movies where people are invited into private places to have "discussions" and the unruly party is, um, dealt with accordingly. It's an unmistakably violent image.
By now we all now that there is a certain, desperate contingent of Hillarybots who are content to pour over every inch of press coverage in search of something, anything, to reinforce the paranoid misogynistic fantasies they've constructed to cope with Hillary Clinton's disappointing presidential campaign.
They go on and on about unfair press coverage towards Hillary, never even stopping to dwell on the fact that Hillary has run an inefficient, sloppy, hateful, and racist campaign for the presidency that actually warrants WAY MORE negative press coverage than it has gotten thus far.
For his part, Obama has managed to stay above the fray. He hasn't gone negative against Hillary and has opted, instead, to sharpen his criticism of her record and policies. He has never gone anywhere near exploiting any sexist undercurrents, despite what those hyperventilating critics of his use of the word "periodically" might suggest.
And the infinitely fair Keith Olbermann? Pulease. The Hillarybots are upset with him for now toeing the Clinton line, and thus they arm their tivos every night and hunt for something, anything to take out of context so that they can play gotcha with him, too. Why? Because some of them are delusional and some of them know that Hillary only wins when she's in a position to catch the pity vote. It's pathetic. And look at how she tagged her post!
KEITH OLBERMANN MISOGYNY, KEITH OLBERMANN SEXIST, MSNBC SEXISM, OLBERMANN CLINTON, OLBERMANN MISOGYNY, OLBERMANN SEXIST, OLBERMANN TAKE HER INTO A ROOM
She must've been seriously out of breath after typing all that. Rachel, I am very sorry to be the one to have to tell you this, but you are clearly insane. If you think that Keith Olbermann is a sexist, or was in any way suggesting that this race be resolved by violence towards Mrs. Clinton, then you and Elton John and everyone else who seek to reduce Mrs. Clinton's failures down to misogyny belong in the nut fucking house.
And don't even get me started on how Clinton won Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania on RACISM. Hello! When people who voted for the white lady tell a pollster that race was a factor, what the fuck do you think they're saying? Is winning a slim margin among bigoted assholes something to be proud of? Will these people even vote for Hillary when stacked up against McCain?
It's Hillary who is winning on division and hatred. Get it straight or go back to lawyering. When you stretch the truth this far, you're not a journalistic watchdog. You're a partisan hack. Especially when you pen drivel like this:
There are two kinds of people in the world:
What does that mean? Really, it can only mean one thing
We know this because we have all seen movies
There really seems to be only one interpretation here, and the only point of debate is on whether it's okay or not. I'm going to cut that one short: It's not.
That has got to be the MOST bullshit I have ever seen crammed into such short sentences. Just who the fuck do you think you are, Mrs. Sklar?
