How the Worm Has Turned
If Hillary Clinton's thick skin didn't quite let her get the feel for what Republicans have gone through for decades within the past six months, she has no excuse now. Camille Paglia had this to say about Hillary's, er, concession speech last weekend:
I was shocked and appalled at Hillary's inflammatory demagoguery, which was obviously intended to keep her candidacy alive through the August convention and beyond. The echo in the museum's marble entry hall gave the event an eerily retro quality, as if it were a 1930s fascist rally.
When the left begins comparing a Clinton to fascists - a term of endearment usually set aside for conservatives - you know it's all over but the shouting.

Paglia can hardly be considered a good representation of the left, and she pretty much hates the brand of feminist that Clinton represented. Most on the left thought that Clinton's speech was appropriate and even inspiring. Obama's numbers against McCain went up 6 points in the 3 days following that speech, so what is this about "the shouting"?

Posted by: Wyatt Earp at June 14, 2008 06:04 PMThe Left is incapable of loyalty, consistency or rational thought! Don't you understand that they "feel" things?
