Hillary Clinton Compares Herself To John F. Kennedy

2007-03-11
By

“He was smart, he was dynamic, he was inspiring and he was a Catholic. A lot of people back then [1960] said, ‘America will never elect a Catholic as president.’ But those who gathered here almost a half century ago knew better. They believed America was bigger than that and Americans would give Sen. John F. Kennedy a fair shake, and the rest, as they say, is history. So when people tell me, or one of the pundits says, ‘I don’t think a woman can be elected president,’ I say we’ll never know unless we try.”
 
Who had the audacity to compare herself to President John F. Kennedy? It’s very risky to equate yourself to JFK, just ask Dan Quayle.
 
Let’s see who is smart, dynamic and inspiring? There’s Angelina Jolie, the actress and goodwill ambassador for the U.N. is certainly intelligent and inspiring. Condi Rice is smart and well qualified, but she’s more scholarly than inspiring. Sen. Feinstein is smart and has a good grasp of the issues, but she doesn’t have the vigor of a young visionary.
 
It’s Hillary Clinton who compared herself to JFK — you can stop laughing now. Come on now, doesn’t the middleaged, shrill, boring nag remind you of a young John F. Kennedy?
 
Kennedy was an eloquent speaker; Hillary fluctuates between shrill and condescending. Kennedy had the strength and determination of a young warrior; Hillary is an old pol who is determined to win by any means necessary. Kennedy inspired us to reach for the moon; Hillary inspires us to throw the remote at the TV screen whenever we hear her shrill voice.
 
If it’s someone like JFK you’re seeking, forget about shrill Hill, Sen. Barack Obama is your man.

    I hope she is like JFK in some ways. Someone shot him, didn’t they? Any chance she’ll have her secret service agents bringing Brad Pitt in the back door for a bit of Presidential rumpy-pumpy? She’ll tell him to tell Nichole and Angelina and Halle to go right in next.

  • Robert Paul Reyes

    Hillary will ask for an Angelina Jolie, but I’m sure she will settle for a Rosie O’Donnell.

  • KVolz

    I’m sure she would not get the likes of Pitt or Jolie…

    I still have not stopped laughing, Robert! Hillary, inspiring? Yes, she is my hero! LOL!

    Amfortas – your comment was disgusting and insulting as usual. You have suggested a) that it would be a good idea to assasinate a US Senator and Presidential Candidate and b) you have demeaned the tragic assasination of a former US President for a cheap political shot.

    In short, you are shameless in your perceptions of politics, history, as well as being morally bankrupt in your view of death. The murder of a US politician should not be celebrated by anyone. The idea that this comment does not violate any standard of commenting suggests to me that there IS no comment standard on this website, especially when it is featured to appear in “Hot Talk” as a comment. I think that choice to prop up this comment as worthy of recognition directly impunes the integrity of this publication, especially absent any rebuke by the ownership.

    Stephoney:
    Save the world! Sue Amfo fully into bankruptcy! Keep a healthy chunk for yourself for your troubles. Clearly free speech is not an individual right, rather a group right like the 2nd amendment, right?
    Can’t be much of a standard here at all, obviously: You’re here, reigning as our favorite blue parrot..

  • maxpower

    Steven

    You are correct, making a joke about the assasination of US Senator is over the line….

    Plese tell me you were equally outraged when Bill Mahar was “sorry” that our Vice President was not assainated?

  • Ouderkirk

    JFK was singularly unaccomplished as president. To suggest he was anything but inept defies the facts. His untimely demise at the hands of a sniper is reprehensible. If you don’t like a president, you vote his ass out of office, not shoot him.

    As for Hiillary… for a Centrist, she sure sounds like a Communist …

    Hillary Clinton’s voice, when not carefully scripted and controlled, quickly rises to a screechy, hectoring nastiness that makes a man’s testicles recede up into his neck and makes most women taste aluminum.

  • PolishKnight

    JFK is commonly used by different people for inspirational quotes. Recently, one of them used in a presentation caused me to howl with laughter:

    (paraphrased)

    “Those who only look to the past and the present are unable to see the future.”

    And people think this is somehow ingenius. It sounds, ironically, like something Dan Quayle would say but the left would laugh him down. Dan Quayle and JFK _did_ have a lot in common: They were both backed by their wealthy dads, they both weren’t all that smart, but the key difference is that one was the darling of the leftist press and one was not. JFK could say something off of a Hallmark card and get kudos for being brilliant while DQ would be laughed at as an idiot.

    Plus, JFK’s “Camelot” legend was lucky enough to get shot down before anyone asked too many hard questions.

  • S Baker

    Amfortas, in the eyes of liberals you have committed the highest of sins– making light of the death of one of their gods. These people worship liberal politicians and JFK is one of their icons. Had JK not been shot he would have gone down in history as one of the worst presidents since he would have been blamed for Vietnam. All of this being said, if you wrote flippantly about the death of a soldier, you would be joined by liberals/progressives in a spitting contest at the airport when these ungrateful degenerates lined up to disgrace the very people most deserving of their gratitude.

  • tonysprout

    Mr. Guess / Ms Guess / Pot-Banger / Gynosaur; go rattle your kettles somewhere else. If you want to have a real debate,do so. Otherwise, move on. I for one am tired of pro-feminists trolling here. BTW, I can think of many politicians whose death I would raise a glass to; Vagina-Joe Biden and Hitlary among them. Would I instigate such a death by “contract’? No! But at this point in time, it is not illegal to fantasize. I’m sure the Left will soon take car of that, however.

  • brmerrick

    S. Guess said: “In short, you are shameless in your perceptions of politics, history, as well as being morally bankrupt in your view of death.”

    This is pretty strong language coming from someone who said, concerning those who might otherwise have been aborted, “It’s not better to raise a screwed up kid than no kid at all, in my worldview.” No moral bankruptcy there, eh?

    Speaking of moral bankruptcy concerning death, why has no one brought up Bill and Hill’s murder of dozens of innocent men, women and children in Waco, Texas?

  • Denis

    JFK, if he was alive today would be a conservative. He favored low taxes, personal responsibility, limited government, and a strong military. It is the Democratic Party that has veered far leftward since that time. I’m no Camelot nut, or Kennedy worshiper-just someone who will speak truth to the facts. He has been used by the Left for 40 years to their advantage. However, JFK himself has had little in common with the Democratic Party since his death. If he had not been assasinated he would have followed through on low taxes, pushing personal responsibility, limited government, and a strong military. Instead we got LBJ who raised taxes, created a culture of blame and victimhood, grew government, and lost the war in Vietnam. Think of the world we would have today if LBJ never became President. There was nothing good for anybody about JFKs assasination.

  • amfortas

    Gee Stephony, I am so sorry for hurting your feelings and treading on your traditions. Hey, what am I saying? America is first among all the western industrialised nations in the assasination stakes. I read somewhere it was every forth President or so. That’s like having an Olympics. An American Tradition. How many Pesidents have you guys dispatched with the .38 vote now? It started with Mr Lincoln, didn’t it? Nice fella by all accounts. What is it; elections not enough?

    Don’t get all huffy with me, sunshine. I didn’t shoot JFK, honest.

    Now, as Mr Baker rightly points out, I could be termed insensitive at the very least if I had been talking about a soldier, but then we soldiers have a gallows humour. It is usually Presidents and their ilk who send us off to get shot at.

    As for my ‘comment was disgusting and insulting as usual’, thanks. I like to be consistent and get some recognition. But I can’t put my hand up to the cheap political shot barb as I can’t even understand the strange politics you guys have let alone vote there. Just treat it as a voice from the great mob of unwashed durn furriners out there beyong your high-school map.

    Many of us wish we could vote there as America seems to be resurrecting Rome, like it or not. J ulius Caesar was assasinated for promoting durn furriners to the Senate. Did you know that? JFK didn’t even rise to bog-roman standards.

    “Speaking of moral bankruptcy concerning death, why has no one brought up Bill and Hill’s murder of dozens of innocent men, women and children in Waco, Texas?”

    Friends of the Clinton’s do not far much better than the people at Waco.

  • conservativation

    What a waste of time. Do feminists and liberals sit around waiting for someone to say something about which they can feign outrage? Its getting to the point where the only safe way to communicate is through zeros and ones, never emoting, never using metaphors, naturally never exagerating,, etc. Lets hurry up and get there though because the current softening of our language is causing communication to be slowed significantly. Where once sensibility main cause refrain in the presence of children or ladies, now there are no ladies and kids talk trash anyway, rather it is expected the sensibility manifest in not hurting the feelings of various side show freaks and misguided megalomaniacs. Protect the (m)asses from our vitriol please, amfortas has caused a weepage in Steven.
    Mindless worship at the JFK alter is dangerous for the reasons already spelled out here. He was conservative AND he was the king of sexual harrassment. Imagine using the power of the office of president to get the babes to put out. What a guy, maybe the feminists are still smarting from not getting a “f*cking” invite to the oggle office!
    Amfortas, as to our politics, I see your point when you express incredulity abouty our unique American system. I will say, as a system, its pretty solid, but as practiced and as it has evolved, its a mess. It is funny in a strange way, unlike watching parlaimentary proceedures and all the theatre therin that totally cracks me up. Listeing in the House of Commons, and all the added humor derived from the accents of some of the characters (these guys couldn’t be made up as parody…some of them from the more remote reaches of the UK) as they emote is absolutely hilarious. I only wish though that our politicians here were as blundt as those to which I refer with my tongue in cheek. Here there is rarely straightforward humor because it is rare when someone actually says something of substance for fear the Stevens of the US will get their thongs soiled.

  • RestoringGuy

    It is fine to express one’s inner anger over these issues. While Steven makes a fine point about not killing, and that seems to be his only good point, what is worse is the ongoing claims that politicians compared to citizens having some higher privilege to live. The victim’s occupation is of little concern, and they are only a symptom of the core problem which is that what they do is wrong.

    The politician’s life or death affects you far less than you might expect. They are not living in your house. But even if we all agree that one is purely evil, but the politician in question is incompetent, that is better than replacing them with another who is slicker and more skilled at aggressing against the citizen.

    Besides, if we were making a tally of dead bodies resulting from the Klintons, it would be best not to waste time with their personal vendettas. The number of people killed during Bill and Hillary is much higher just as a result of public policy.

    If any of you guys get a chance, try to check out early episodes of “I Love New York”, a spinoff of “Flavor of Love”. One of the man-skanks is “Mr. Boston”, a young Boston University student.

    Anyways, he’s a neat (but likeable) composite of Bill Clinton and JFK with a thick Bostonian accent hanging out with gangsta rappers.

  • Halo

    Hey Stephen, would it be okay to advocate the killing of anyone who openly claims to be a liberal? Since none of you do, it’s not actually espousing the murder of anyone.

    I went to DailyKos and they actually call for the murder of conservatives, specifically the killing of Bush/Cheney/Rove/Rice etc. As they did on “The View” too.

  • fourthwire

    Stephanie, go take yourself a couple of Midol and try not to let Amfortas disrupt your monthly cramps with his sense of humor.

    Now I understand that simpletons such as yourself JUMP at the chance to show your infection of PC, but a power-mad bitch like Hillary WILL certainly cause the world to be a marginally cleaner, saner on that day where she stops wasting oxygen, whether that day happens today or fifty years from today.

  • Halo

    fourthwire, Stephen Guess may be a simpleton, but mostly he’s just easy. Some femarxist touched his weenie and now she’s in complete control. Maybe one day he’ll get back in control of his own testicles, but I wouldn’t bet much on it.

  • fourthwire

    I doubt that “Stephen Guess” actually ever HAD a weenie (although she may have envied a few in her time……;-)).

    She’s almost certainly a feminazi, pretending to be a man.

  • fourthwire

    If John F. Kennedy’s voice had demonstrated the same shrill, ear-grating qualities that characterizes Hillary Clinton’s voice, he never would have been elected president.

    As I have pointed out previously, her voice provides the same warmth and compassion as a set of fingernails running down a blackboard – the kind of voice that makes right-minded people instinctively reach for a set of earplugs.

    She may have called in all of her political favors. She may have threatened her wavering “allies” with political retribution. She may have been among the nation’s most prolific “fund-raisers”.

    But Hillary is certainly not likeable, which is one of the reasons why she will almost certainly not be elected president…… which works out nicely because she’s certainly not good for our nation.

    And as Doug Powers pointed out in one of his blogs, as HDTV’s are spread throughout the nation, the best makeup artist in the world would have difficulties making Hillary’s puss pleasing to the eye.

    Americans often vote for politicians based on the images that politicians provide…… and Hillary, in spite of every cosmetic trick in the book, in spite of her efforts to speak in a Southern drawl (in Selma), and in spite of being no doubt coached, stage-managed, and provided with the best speech-writers that money can buy….. still comes off as a mean-spirited, power-crazy lawyer-politician who is certainly no friend of men, boys, and families.

    Yes, she’s corrupt. America is no stranger to corrupt politicians. But we tend not to elect frankly unlikeable individuals to figurehead political offices.

    Whether Americans are ready for its first female president is irrelevant….. because Americans, by and large, are certainly NOT ready for Hillary Clinton as their president.

    As dismal as many of the alternatives are, they mostly ALL look good in comparison. And that’s quite some feat………

  • DadWithGirls

    Watch and learn as Hillary progressively reveals the true nature of Second Wave feminists and their psychotic personalities…

    She’s just barely begun her campaign and she’s already about to snap.

    (The whole “apologize Obama for insulting me!” soap opera was just a teaser for what’s coming next….)

    Hillary is the ultimate passive-aggressive control freak.

    Why else would she put up with her husband’s adulterous insulting routine?

    Can you imagine a woman with such low self-esteem trying to negotiate a Middle East solution?

    And, sorry … she’s in full menopause now.

    Nice hormonal comedy, that.

    Hillary will, if nominated, make herstory.

    She will be cited in minor footnotes as the first female presidential candidate to make a truly idiotic concession speech!

    But I don’t actually believe she will get the nomination.

  • scottkirk

    fourthwire..freud suggested that most women are stuck in the pre-oedupus stage of penis envy..it makes perfect sense.

  • DadWithGirls

    Frued also repudiated everything he ever wrote about women at the end of his life.

    He basically said that he had spent his entire life trying to fathom women, and had failed.

    So, while he did indeed make a lot of theoretical sense, he confessed it was a practical waste of time to have have spent so many years on a futile quest.

    So much work, so little benefit.

    Sounds like your average marriage, yes?

  • amfortas

    Nice points conservativation. I liked the parody issue particularly. Fortunately I don’t follow much of what goes on in ‘the Commons’ any more as I have the Australian Parliamentary bear-pit as my ‘representative body. Now that is a sight to see and hear. The Americans are the epitome of politeness and decorum in comparison.

    We have a tradition of the most awful sledging (ad hominum, Oz style) which passes for debate that would capture the attention of any group of six year olds and hold them rapt in slack-jawed wonder for all of ten minutes before they fell about laughing. Australian Parliamentary language outlaws calling someone a liar for the sake of variety (otherwise that’s all you’d hear) but includes such gems of literary allusion as ‘scumbag’, ‘arse-licker’, and the like which turn bald men into curlytops.

    The British are just so wonderful with their MPs found in flagrante every other week and the ‘Party Whip’ has a whole different meaning to most other counries’ political processes. It is heartening to hear that the salaciousness model of democracy is being exported – see the bondage incident reported this week. We had a past Prime Minister discovered in a similar South American outpost, in the street late at night without his trousers. But frankly that was a one-off. Oops, I lie. There was another who died in a whore’s bed quite some years back. Ahh, good old British tradition.

    Now if we can only find a regulation sized ball to stuff in these people’s mouths we could replace the Whips altogether.

  • amfortas

    PS. I wonder if there is a good, sound, solid MRA out there who will f*ck Hillary and sell the story to the NYT in keeping with the American entrepreneurial spirit. It would be a scarifice, I know, but for the common good. If they could give her a score out of ten, that would be a bonus.

    It is hard to not be gross when Hitlery is mentioned.

    You are an FBI Agent on the scene of a plane crash. The subject is gagged, bound hand and foot behind his back, head submerged in the chemical toilet of the plane, three gunshot wounds to the back of the head, not a drop of blood in the body, and is a friend of the Clintons.

    It is a textbook case of ARKANCIDE!
