"If Hillary stays healthy and runs, I'm with her, all the way. Why? Because she is the smartest, toughest, and most experienced player out there. And besides being the best candidate to be the first woman president, she loves this county and it's progressive history. I feel this in my gut like nothing else I've ever felt before — she has her head on straight and she is grounded and rooted in our Democratic Republic like no other politician or citizen out there. Any American who can spend eight years in the White House, and then go on to be a senator, and then Secretary of State, and still want to be president, after all of the slings and arrows shot her, has the guts, savvy, and fortitude I want to see in my president. Damn, that woman is a Great American, there are no two ways about it! And the more the Republican Party tries to find a way to take her down, the more I want her to be the first woman president of the US. This is one for the Democratic Party to lose — there is no competition out there, none! The purists out there will complain that Hillary is old hat, or too much a part of the establishment, or too corrupted by Washington, or not Progressive enough. Well, grow up and get over it, kids! Hardball politics in the USA is not a namby-pamby sport. Realpolitik is the order of the day in the world we live in, and if you don't want the Republican Party, aka The Tea Party, to run this country, with all that that will mean, then you had better grow up and get on board with Hillary Clinton. Lets get it together and sweep her into the Oval Office next year, in a landslide the likes of which this country has never seen."
That's the top-rated comment at an NPR piece titled: "5 Things You Should Know About Hillary Clinton."

If not President, Hillary could be a waitress in a diner.
She'd be like the waitress that the New Yorker reported on long ago under the title "We Know That Waitress"
A robber with a gun demanded the cash in the register.
"Get it yourself," the waitress said.
She's old and her ideas are even older.
A liar who is both corrupt and dishonest. A grifter of epic proportions.
Exactly what America needs now!
It is that kind of crap thinking that has gotten us where we are today.
God (or whoever or whatever you bow before) help us if this is the kind of electorate that is here to stay.
We. Are. So. Doomed.
Women's solidarity uber alles.
Women Rule!
Forgot to add that she is stupid beyond belief if she thought her private email server wasn't going to be hacked by every country in the world.
*whomever... object of preposition...
For the grammar Nazis out there, and the nuns who taught us, I weep for the decline of my skilz.
It's all about hating on and sticking it to the evil Republicans. They're the real enemy.
I'd bet $100.00 that commenter lives east of I-95 or west of I-5.
I just have a hard time believing there are a high percentage of voters in the "fly over" portion of the U.S. that are that passionate for Hillary.
If I'm wrong, I truly fear for the future of this nation - whether or not Hillary wins the presidency.
I see America's Politico has found a new style.
4th Order Eddington Monkey Loves Hillary! (I think).
"Hillary stays about the way.
Why?
Because she is old hat, or the USA is not Progressive, and she is one for a part of the world we live in, our Democratic Party tries the slings and rooted by Washington else then you don't want together it, kids!
Hardball of which this county still is one fortitude I want her corrupted in a landslide, and for too much a part of then Secretary Clinton the ways about that the more the live in a landslide the slings and fortitude I want the ways about it!
The purists out it!
Well, grow up and run that woman president of the first woman in a landslide, that Hillary is a Great American Party, aka The Tea Party, else I've ever felt before then Secretary Clinton the establishment, or not Progressive ever see in out the Republican Party, toughest, and still complain the more the guts, savvy, aka The purists out it to be president, she is this corrupted by Washington else I've ever it, kids!
Damn, that will complain this is the US."
Because she is the smartest, toughest, and most experienced player out there.
I was around political true believers all the time when I did IT support for the Executive Office. Needless to say, their superiors love them, because they will gladly sacrifice all, including turning a blind eye to criminality, for their champion. And the strange thing about it --- the true believers are not so much believers in a cause to which they maintain a high standard of ritual purity, they are true believers in a political leader to whom they give total loyalty. After reading far too much on the mistakes of the cult of personality (Stalin) or der Fuhrerprinzip, finding such loyalty & obedience on open display in a Republic scared & repulsed me.
But you know what? Politicians demand it of their staffs, & sadly, they get it.
Shorter version -- Hillary may be utterly corrupt (travelgate, misuse of IRS, cattle futures, selling pardons, Sandy Berger, Clinton foundation bribery, etc.) -- but she's not a Republican.
The Democrat Party is an ongoing criminal conspiracy. Why would a Clinton (any Clinton) supporter be troubled by illegal or incompetent behavior?
The problem with Hillary Clinton (regardless of her politics) is that she refuses to be accountable for her actions.
She will even hide/destroy evidence (Rose Law Firm, Bengazi) to prevent being accountable.
That's unchecked power, and is un-American.
A part of me wants to see another Democrat get the nomination, because Hillary has such a shrill voice. Listening to it gives me bad chills down my spine. Makes me shudder.
But then I think they'll just serve us up another Barack Obama. Total, incompetent, cult of personality.
I think we are screwed no matter who the Democrats pick.
Oooh, click bait ;) I can't think of anything to say that won't be said by 50 million others.
I'm sure there are hundreds of thousands out there who agree. Thousands of them post comments on HuffPo.
Let's just hope there are not enough of them.
I keep thinking back to David Warren's piece in the Ottawa newspaper when Obama was elected.
Is Obama like Gorbachev?
Yes: a lot of people have entertained the idea, that Mikhail Gorbachev was to the late great Soviet Union, what Barack Obama is to the surviving United States -- the leader who reforms so many things so quickly that his country suddenly disappears. One recalls the speed with which the first Soviet head of state to be born after the October Revolution became its last head of state. It took him about three years: just less than the time of one U.S. presidential term. (Though he had already taken three years to warm up, as General Secretary of the Communist Party.)
Hillary would cap the effort.
I think the person who wrote that would vote for any democrat, regardless.
What is going to be truly sad, and repulsive, is the full-on media beat down that will be given to whomever the Republican nominee is. Hillary! Let the whitewash begin...
Can I say that? Whitewash?
Felonies, smelonies. . .
Maybe I should say "wipedrive"...
You should have said - "This is from what radio network program?"
Well, actually I really do want fiscal conservatives to run the country. But moreover, what has Hillary accomplished as senator and Secretary of State? As Governor of Alaska for 2 1/2 years Sarah Palin negotiated more agreements with a foreign government (1) than Hillary Clinton did in 4 years as Secretary of State (zero).
And certainly handling all of your Email traffic through a poorly-secured server is not an indicator of intelligence.
I like to think that the only reason that load of silliness is the highest rated comment is that the only people who read the piece are Hillary fans.
The rest of us have better things to do on a Saturday afternoon than muster interest in Hillary.
That person should put down the Koolaid and step away from the bar.
After Obama, it's time we paused on symbolic candidates, and not go with another with no positive accomplishments other than birthing a baby so she could check-off motherhood on her background. Oh, and a trail of slime all the way back to Arkansas.
The fact that hardball is the name of the game in this country in no way excuses the unparalleled wickedness of the Republicans in playing it.
Facts don't matter.
Well, that was an interesting vision into a truly delusional mind. There aren't really enough people stupid enough to think like this--for Hillary to win, she needs morons like this, plus a critical mass of moderates who are turned off by whatever the GOP comes up with. It's that second group that will decide next years election.
But it is scary to think there are people dumb enough to write dreck like this, and that they vote.
That comment must be the writer's application for a job in the Hillary! campaign. He seems to have the cult of personality down cold.
Nonetheless, I'm not sure he'll get the job. He forgot to say that Hillary Clinton is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being he has ever known in his life. The failure to stick to his talking points and to express his admiration in his own words suggests a lack of discipline that may disqualify him.
Hillary Clinton's USA Listening Tour starts tomorrow at 12 PM.
By I PM, she will be 45POTUS.
The election is a formality.
It is over. Why?
1. GOP has no immigration plan.
2. GOP has no women in leadership (house/senate).
3. GOP has no love for American Science.
4. GOP has no minority outreach plan.
Q.E.D. GOP has no USA Listen Tours response to HRC.
I'm betting this was written by a staffer.
I saw a lot of these type of comments during the 2008 dem primary season. Professionally written, with a couple of "folksy" phrases thrown in.
I'm betting a lot of the "likes" are generated from one source also.
Women's solidarity uber alles
"The more I see of men the more I admire dogs," said Madame de Stael.
Take a gander at these photos from yesterday's Aintree Ladies Day. Coupled with that cited NPR comment, it makes me wonder just what hath feminism wrought over the decades... Well, for one thing it means de Stael's quip can be rephrased in distaff terms and be just as appropriate.
Hillary is the epitome of Liberalism as described by Camille Paglia:
"Yes, something very ugly has surfaced in contemporary American liberalism, as evidenced by the irrational and sometimes infantile abuse directed toward anyone who strays from a strict party line. Liberalism, like second-wave feminism, seems to have become a new religion for those who profess contempt for religion. It has been reduced to an elitist set of rhetorical formulas, which posit the working class as passive, mindless victims in desperate need of salvation by the state. Individual rights and free expression, which used to be liberal values, are being gradually subsumed to worship of government power."
America's Politico, you haven't a clue what the letters Q.E.D. stands for.
(typo fixed)
Congressman Earl Landgrebe became a laughingstock for saying about Nixon, "Don't confuse me with the facts." Now that thinking is conventional for NPR listeners.
The person who wrote the comment is an idiot.
It's an honest comment.
Almost everyone here has already decided how they are going to vote in the general election. You are going to vote based on party preference, for whomever is nominated.
Since Hillary Clinton seems to have a lock on the nomination already, many Democrats are already in that mode. Makes sense, and it's an honest reflection of what people do in this country.
At one time it seemed incomprehensible to me that ration adults had supported evil authoritarian leaders throughout history.
For me 2016 will probably be about the lesser of two evils. I am so sick of social conservatives and the base of the GOP. Barf! If Ted Cruz is the nominee - Hillary is the lesser evil. Cruz is irresponsible and adolescent - which is worse than Hillary's corruption to me. And I sure don't want some macho war monger...talk about corruption! "Let's teach 'em a lesson" by doing exactly what they are doing only more so...
This press release....er, comment was published to keep democrats from going rogue, and keeping them on the Hillary reservation.
The swing voter no longer exists.
No one really is "independent".
That quote feels contrived. It's almost as if each idea presented is intended to appeal to a specific audience.
Further down, as a response to that comment, another declares HRC to be the, "closest thing to a moderate republican that either party has to offer."
I wonder if the junior members to a political team are given basic scripts and told to make an appearance in any online story that's getting legs?
There are 316 million people in the United States. Half of them identify with the Democrats. And the best candidate they can come up with is Hillary Clinton? The process is broken.
That quote sums up the progressive democrat party mindset pretty well. Scandals, corruption, deceit, dishonesty, disgrace- I don't care. Because republicans.
I'm betting this was written by a staffer.
Agreed.
In 2008, it was "My wife/husband is voting for Obama, and she/he always votes Republican." I heard that phrase so many times from multiple sources that I stopped believing it was true.
"And I sure don't want some macho war monger."
You would fit well at Oxford 1933.

Not so "junior"
These will appear in major news websites NYT-WaPo-L.A. Times--as an example of "grassroots" support.
What you will never see is the same username post a follow-up after being taken apart in the comments.
Notice, the very first point made is "yes there are 'scandals', but what difference, at this point, does it make!"
This is how the one-party big cities keep electing Democrats even when they turn them into hell holes. They'll happily take a Stalin over even a squish Republican every day. They may then turn on each other with a passion and hate that knows no bounds, but better that than a Republican.
Can’t wait for Hillary to hit the campaign trail.
Black
I don’t feel noways tired. I come too far from where I started from. Nobody told me that the road would be easy. I don't believe He brought me this far.
Native American
How! Me not tired. Me come heap long way. Road mighty rough. Sky Spirit no bring me this far.
Asian:
I no wray tired. Come too far I started flum. Road berry clooked. Number one Dragon King take me far.
Texas:
No maldita cansado. Viajar por carretera puto duro. Chinga diablo puede chupar mi polla.
Maine:
Hold on there chubby. I ain’t puckered out yet. You can’t get there from here without this old cunty face. Ayup!
NPR. Which, in Atlanta at least, has become completely unlistenable. I used to listen regularly and give money. Now, I don't even turn it on. The near constant race baiting just got to be too much. Also, they got rid of all the music and its just people talking all time. Is there a less attractive sound than 2 or more people in conversation? Maybe the machinery on a deep sea oil platform....Anyway, the people that can still listen to NPR and be bothered to comment don't worry me in the least. Its a shrinking demographic.
What a steaming pile of horse shit.
NPR, NYT, WaPo, the Alphabets: At this point, what difference does it make?
I'm digging my hole deeper. Can't go too deep, or the rain gets in. Got to get deep enough to ride out the storm.
NPR.org comments usually run about 9 to 1 in favor of Democrats, and most often the most liberal strains of Democrats.
What a load!! Utter nonsense, but then, I suppose we should consider the source. That just about explains the whole thing. Idiots!!
'she is the smartest, toughest, and most experienced player out there."
Huh? She fell asleep at the 3:00 AM call for Benghazi. She took payoffs from foreign countries with her 'Clinton Foundation' just when she was pushing efforts to further relations with those countries. She willfully destroyed evidence on her computers AFTER the courts said not to.
So she was incompetent, a crook, and a liar but to this idiot she was the 'smartest, toughest, and most experienced player.'
Apparently integrity, honesty, and diligence has no bearing on being president. Not even being a leader.
No wonder we got Obama... TWICE!
So, that's the source of all evil in America: progress. From multi-trillion dollar deficits devaluing capital and labor, to selective exclusion through normalization of special interests, to displacement and replacement of Americans through excessive and illegal immigration, to undeclared and unannounced wars and overseas conflicts, to capital execution of wholly innocent human lives, this is progress!
This is the State-established Church and religion of the secular profits of wealth, pleasure, leisure, and narcissistic indulgence.
That said, at this point, what difference does it make? A dysfunctional convergence is inevitable. Forward!
I think Hillary wrote it.
I go back and forth on whether I prefer Obama or Hillary, if I had to choose one. It comes down to this. Obama is annoying and incompetent, and his instincts are far too left for my tastes. He's more honest than Hillary, but he's also more prone to divisive agitation and so on. Hillary is corrupt and a liar, but the Clintons are so desperate to maintain their power and enhance their legacies that they will cut deals with Republicans. Obama has no pragmatic smarts.
The gridlock since 2011 has mostly been welcome, but that's only because a naive incompetent has been in the Oval Office. With Republicans controlling Congress, and with festering structural problems with our tax code that need to be fixed, I think a Hillary presidency would be a welcome change. So I think I would prefer her to an Obama clone upstart candidate.
While I am right of center, I am not sure I can trust a Republican with a Republican Congress. Unless it's a dissident/heterodox Republican like Rand Paul. Now THAT might make for an interesting four or eight years.
Hillary has done nothing that qualifies her to be president. She seems to be running on her monumental accomplishment of being born with a vagina, but other than that what has she done? What has she done (well) that could lead one to believe she'd be a good leader of this country?
There are 316 million people in the United States. Half of them identify with the Democrats. And the best candidate they can come up with is Hillary Clinton? The process is broken.
The problem for the Democrats, is they have been doing even worse in the state elections than they have in the national ones. Almost all of the Democrats left are in Gerrymandered safe seats. There is very little purple left, and most of it turned red. this means that the Democrats that are left not only are the battiest of the moonbats, their voters are too. What should be fun in the coming years, is that there are very distinct varieties of moonbats, and the infighting as the Democratic political pie shrinks ever smaller will be fun to watch.
So not only is their bench extremely small, and full of players unprepared to compete on the national stage, but most of the current Democratic players are all either reaching retirement age or well past it. they've allowed the "towering pines" to choke off the new growth.
Seriously..who is left after Hillary?
Webb? The Democratic Party would never nominate him.
Warren? I could see it, but she continues to insist she isn't running.
Malloy? No resume and no message that I know of.
Biden? ------
Wasserman? Well...it would be fun to watch.
The person who wrote that most likely is a Clinton paid political operative.
This is how the one-party big cities keep electing Democrats even when they turn them into hell holes. They'll happily take a Stalin over even a squish Republican every day.
This is how the entire country keeps moving in a progressive-libertarian direction even as we sink deeper and deeper into the cesspool of rancor, irrationality, and misery. A good proportion of Republicans will happily take a Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama every day over anyone having even a whiff of being a social conservative who might suggest that there are certain truths about the human person and we ignore those truths, or act against them, or even deny the existence of truth, at our peril.
"I used to listen regularly and give money. Now, I don't even turn it on."
I listen semi-regularly. Once or twice a week I hear something that makes me think, "Boy, I'd be really pissed if I gave money for this horseshit."
Clearly professionally written.
Such length, such desperation. You can smell it.
The militancy of the Low Information Voter.
Real American: Hillary has DONE a lot of things. The question is, what has she SUCCEEDED at, and the answer is, not a goddamed thing.
"Because she is the smartest, toughest, and most experienced player out there."
Who got faked out of her support hose by a rookie from Chicago.
She's got the "vagina-steamer" vote locked up.
Texas:
No maldita cansado. Viajar por carretera puto duro. Chinga diablo puede chupar mi polla.
"Why are you talking Spanish at me just because my name is Hernandez, lady? I had ancestors with Travis at the Alamo. Do this you think this is freaking Los Angeles?"
What amuses me most about this sort of comment is how much it reminds me of Romney supporting comments in 2011.
Neither party's most nutty loyalist can see how they are exactly like the other side. One side says, who would Hillary be if she didn't marry Bill without asking who Romney would be if he were born in a different circumstance.
Hillary is a very weak candidate, and if a competitor emerges who is compelling, democrats will not support Hillary. We already saw this in 2008. The GOP has a lot of advantages this time, with a slate that is so much more compelling than it was last time. Jindal, Walker, Cruz, Paul.... these guys are so much better than the frontrunners in 2012 it's kinda sickening.
But the main lesson: most voters are well out of step with politics junkies. They go for the earnest person with a vision over the experienced and perfected and polished. That's why I think Walker will do surprisingly poorly (even though he's a fantastic governor).
I'm surprised that Hillary has the time to post that to NPR.
Poe's Law definitely applies here.
Chinga diablo puede chupar mi polla.
I'm sure that thought has crossed her mind.
am not sure I can trust a Republican with a Republican Congress. Unless it's a dissident/heterodox Republican like Rand Paul.
Exactly what I was thinking.
"This is how the one-party big cities keep electing Democrats even when they turn them into hell holes."
What big city hellholes do you refer to? I only know NYC, as I line here, and it's as far from being a "hellhole" as any big city could be.
So they don't care that a LIAR is going to come in and lie some more???? They really must hate America. They don't care who is running it....
Hamlet, she isn't.
"What big city hellholes do you refer to? "
Detroit is the pure example. New York City is being supported by a financial elite that is able to avoid most consequences of leftists. Chicago is going down the drain.
"Nya Nya Nya, I can't hear you" (as he sits under the table with his thumbs in his ears.)
Maybe she'll be as great as Obama! From this comment, it sounds like Prof. Althouse's moron friends are up for a repeat. I know there's a lot of ruin in a nation, but we may run out eventually if the nation's female lawprofs keep getting their way.
Hillary isn't tough. Obama showed that. He wiped the floor with her in 2008, and he's going to ensure she isn't the next President. His people will leak story after story until she drops out.
RE: Hellholes.
New York has elected Republican and quasi-Republican-although-more-statist-than-you'd-like-to-think mayors in the past 30 years.
The photo of her in the striped pants ... I'd definitely tap that!
Progressive - Hillary - politics will be good for you if you are rich, and want to keep your riches. Just like the past half a decade.
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer is the unspoken Marta of progressive politics. Rob from the rich, and the rich figure out ways to not get robbed. Thus the robery slides down the scale until it hits the proletariat who can't defend themselves from it.
Delusional.
you know what? I don't care about your impassioned plea. That nonsense got us 8 years of The Naif at 1600; sit and spin.
Damn it, you just overloaded my bullshit meter and blew it out. Now I'll have to find a replacement fuse for it.
This is the top rated comment about HRC over at NPR:
Thus reinforcing every stereotype of the left, NPR and Epistemic closure I've ever had...
The tone of the diatribe seems strangely defensive. It almost reminds me of this scene from Animal House, here
But in that case, they knew they lost the battle and just wanted to go out in a blaze of glory. The comment author seems to believe that HRC is a winning candidate. That they might be right is unutterably sad.
This final bit really put it over the top for me. Kind of like a fundamentalist yearning for the rapture: "...a landslide the likes of which this country has never seen."
Hoping and waiting for the big historical moment when its all put right by a god-like leader.
"I feel this in my gut like nothing else I've ever felt before..."
Oh, I doubt that. I'm guessing this person felt something very similar in 2008.
eee-god, NPR. They own all the college radio stations.
@dbp Thus reinforcing every stereotype of the left, NPR and Epistemic closure I've ever had...
Hee, I thought you said episiotomy closure there for a second.

Newfirelock
http://billmoyers.com/2015/03/16/hillary-ready-us/
Somebody called "Newfirelock" made the same comment back in March. This comment is supposedly by jamesrodgersbush. Maybe there's a stable of commenters "commentolist" out there
Seems that Newfirelock and JamesRogers Bush are the same person and he repeated his Bill Moyers comment for NPR.
