Seriously? Biden Taps Hillary as Chief Surrogate, Wow!

By Tim Donner | Dec 13, 2023 @ Liberty Nation News 

“When you’re down and troubled, and you need a helping hand, and nothing, oh, nothing is going right, close your eyes and think of me, and soon I will be there, to brighten up even your darkest nights”

You may recognize the legendary lyrics of the great James Taylor, but his message from decades ago now strikes close to the heart of what Joe Biden may well require to stop his descent into political quicksand. This president clearly needs a new look, a fresh brand — and an angel, a successful and highly popular public figure ready, willing, and able to step up and vouch for him. It should be someone with the credibility to drive home the message that, while the 46th president may appear long past his prime with dismal poll numbers that suggest he is becoming unelectable, he’s got things completely under control. He needs something, anything other than abortion and Trump derangement on which to hang his hat.

Most of all, since the man ideally suited for the job, Barack Obama, remains silent, Biden needs a friend.

So, of course, the obvious choice would be — wait for it, and don’t look back at the headline — Hillary Clinton! Wow, why didn’t we think of that before? So let’s see. The author of the most ignominious defeat in American political history who herself was beaten by the man whose cult followers must now be deprogrammed, she says, is going to be a primary face of the Biden re-election campaign. She will evidently deliver a ton of her famously inspirational speeches and coach the president on how to do something she famously failed to do despite overwhelming odds in her favor, namely win.

You can’t make this stuff up, even in the most irreverent dreams of conservative political junkies.

Thus, here’s a question: If you asked 100 random Republicans whom they would select to be Biden’s point man, the person they believe would damage Biden the most and cast him in the worst possible light, how many of them would pick Hillary Clinton? You can be certain Biden and Clinton would not want to hear the answer. Perhaps an even more cogent question to the Biden campaign is: Are you serious about this Hillary thing, or are you just trolling us?

A Match Made in Heaven or Hell?

What can we expect from Clinton on the campaign trail? As with doctors, the first imperative in politics is to do no harm. Does Biden believe Hillary campaigning over the next year will not continue to open mouth, insert foot, and remind everyone how awful her campaign was in 2016? That would defy history.

Will she lower her estimate of 50% of Trump supporters who are deplorable and irredeemable to, say, 33% in hopes that Trump voters will say sure, that sounds better, and now we will stop making fun of your ineptitude and corruption?

Maybe casting Hillary aside or refusing her offer to help would be more trouble than it’s worth. Perhaps they will take any port in a storm and accept assistance from anyone at this point. But for Hillary, her latest effort to rebuild a legacy defined by her loss to the man Biden now seeks to beat for a second time likely provides a vicarious experience. Everyone knows she edged Biden out of the nomination in 2016, and that the two are not exactly BFFs. Maybe this is the only way to get Hillary’s far more well-liked husband aboard the Biden train to oblivion.

Of course, one way or another, this is nothing but great for Hillary’s dormant career because the media will cover her again. She conceded to Trump on Election Night 2016 but has since famously retracted her concession — too little, too late — claiming on multiple occasions in multiple ways that Trump’s election was illegitimate. Has it even occurred to the Biden campaign that agreeing to let the election-denying Clinton speak on its behalf as a high-profile surrogate at the same time they accuse Trump and his supporters of election denialism renders one of their most persuasive issues virtually moot?

Hillary and Other Democratic Losers

What is it about Democratic presidential losers that causes them to go off the deep end? Al Gore single handedly generated phony environmental hysteria after his loss to George W. Bush, as did John Kerry, who now makes Gore look almost reasonable with his call for coal plants to be permanently banned across the globe. Hillary has been on a denial tour for about seven years, blaming everyone but herself for the loss heard ‘round the world and now effectively equating Trump supporters to those of the Reverend Jim Jones. And with Hillary in a position of high visibility, Biden may soon join the bunch.

Democrats who have spent years trying to forget the nightmare of 2016 appear to understand just how toxic Hillary is, though they are couching their words so as not to say what they really mean between the lines. Clinton is “stepping into a role as one of the most prominent and influential surrogates in Biden’s re-election effort — and her role is only expected to grow in the new year,” according to hard-left MSNBC, which then swiftly lamented:

“[T]his isn’t exactly promising news for Biden’s already-troubling re-election prospects … [Hillary] has a track record of alienating progressives and swing voters in a contest against the very person Biden is likely to face in November — former President Donald Trump … Clinton embodies the Democratic establishment that angers and repels progressives needed to win the election.”

Indeed, given the number of concessions Biden has made to his left flank, it is hard to understand why he would join forces with someone progressives severely dislike.

Maybe the answer is that Hillary just wants Biden to go down to defeat to make herself feel better, so that at least she’s not the only one to get blamed for losing to the dictator wannabe. Unfortunately, this might be the only argument that seems to make sense — except for one other: Allowing one of the most unlikable and disgraced politicians in our lifetime to serve as a prominent face of his presidential campaign actually has to make you stop and wonder if Biden actually wants to lose.

Hillary is the Symptom

 By Rich Kozlovich

 

As time goes by we see all the dire predictions from George Orwell's book,  1984, where he predicts a dystopian society totally controlled by "Big Brother", whose dictates are a corruption of language, twisting definitions into pretzel like shapes in support of irrational narratives.  All enforced by the "Thought Police", and any thoughts expressed that contradicts the narrative of Big Brother are crimes, and punishable by "vaporization", meaning they just seem to disappear.  

We're now seeing that coming into play now.  Hillary Clinton is the symptom of a chronic disease and a metastasizing intellectual infection contaminating American society. 

Hillary just won’t go away - October 7, 2023 By Marcus Ebenhack - Hillary Clinton has to be the Rasputin of 21^st century American politics. Grigori Rasputin – the “Mad Monk” -- was a Russian religious fanatic who managed to worm his way into the Russian imperial family with a claim that he could alleviate the hemophilia suffered by Tsarevich Alexei. In short order he was exercising personal control over Tsarina Alexandra, the boy’s mother, who in turn influenced the easily-led Tsar Nicholas II..........

She and her cult have irrational views and behavior that's off the charts, especially regarding the radical indoctrination of children and all those who have the courage to speak out against their insane views.  They claim conservatives are destroying "our" Democracy, and they're right, because "their" Democracy is destroying "our" Republic, and the Constitution.

Hillary drops the Veil on Her Party’s Totalitarianism Clarice Feldman - The Democrats are making no effort to hide their totalitarian impulses. Certainly, Hillary Clinton isn’t. In an interview this week with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, she suggested that Trump supporters were part of a cult and needed formal deprogramming. 

Whatever the reason, you know, make America great again was a bid for nostalgia to return to a place where people could be in charge of their lives, feel empowered, say what they want, insult whoever came in their way. And that was really attractive to a significant portion of the Republican base. So, it is like a cult. And somebody has to break that momentum. 

Amanpour was visibly taken aback at this candor, but didn’t press her as to how and for whom this deprogramming was to occur. In the past, whenever a Republican candidate for any office made an outrageous comment -- and this was supremely outrageous -- every candidate of his party would be asked if he agreed with it. I’d suggest the RNC encourage its candidates to take the same tack.  There’s nothing new and nothing funny about the totalitarian impulse on the Left............

Hillary Clinton is an evil person  By Patricia McCarthy

“Sociopaths are attracted to politics because the see it as a sphere in which you can be ruthless and step all over people. That fact that some politicians can tell such awful lies is another example of sociopathy. Sociopaths lie—they see nothing wrong with it.” ― Alexander McCall Smith, The Revolving Door of Life

An evil person is someone who engages in malevolent behaviors.  They are frequently immoral, depraved, wicked and/or mentally ill.  Each of those words can easily be attributed to Hillary Clinton.  The many crimes she committed while the First Lady of Arkansas are well-known old news; Whitewater, Rose Law Firm, an impossible windfall on cattle futures, her unceremonious firing from the Watergate Committee for lying (before her marriage to Bill), etc.  ........................

‘Stalin Had a Word for That’: Republicans Slam Hillary Clinton’s Wish for ‘Formal Deprogramming’ of Trump Supporters - Wendell Husebø 6 Oct 2023 - Republicans tore into two-time failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for her desire to formally deprogram Americans who support former President Donald Trump. “There needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members,” Hillary Clinton told CNN Thursday. “So many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists, take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure.”........

Madame Hillary lays down the law - By Eric Utter October 9, 2023 - Hillary Clinton recently called for the “deprogramming” of a large percentage of the American populace because they don’t hold the same leftist political beliefs and values that she does. Moreover, the FBI essentially labeled MAGA supporters as “terrorists” whose every move should be scrutinized. And the U.S. edges ever closer to becoming a one-party autocracy...........“Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Adams, Mr. Adams, Mr. Washington, Mr. Henry, you must tone down your rhetoric! We will brook no calls for violence or insurrection from the uppity likes of you, who wish to destroy our democracy!”..............

Hillary Calls for ‘Deprogramming’ of MAGA ‘Cult Members - ’Pam Key - “At this point, I think, sadly, he will still be the nominee and we have to defeat him and we have to defeat those who are the election deniers, as we did in 2020 and 2022, and we have to just be smarter about how we are trying to empower the right people inside the Republican Party.”..............

Lou Dobbs and Jim Hoft: It’s Open Season on Populist Leaders in the US and Germany – The Radical Left has Even Resorted to an Assassination Attempt and Public Beatings in Germany - Last week The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft sat down with the great Lou Dobbs recently to discuss the spree of violent and life-threatening attacks against populist AfD members in Germany. The conversation was posted by Lou Dobbs this past weekend.

TGP’s Jim Hoft described the assassination attempt on Tino Chrupalla the leader of Germany’s populist AfD party. Tino was poisoned last week and passed out after a rally. Tino is the latest AfD member to be attacked by the radical leftists in Germany. The globalist left despises those politicians like Tino who stand up to the globalists and open border advocates. Jim Hoft says the brutal attacks in Germany remind him of the persecution of Donald Trump and his supporters here at home............

The Democrats' Dolchstosslegende

Posted by Daniel Greenfield 0 Comments Sunday, September 24, 2017 @ Sultan Knish Blog

The Democrats went into the election certain that they were going to win. The New York Times rated Hillary’s chances at 93%. The Huffington Post raised that to 98%. That was still too modest for Obama campaign manager David Plouffe who predicted a 100% likelihood of Hillary winning.

It wasn’t strategy or statistics that made the Dems think that victory was certain. It was ideology.

Obama had spent two terms telling them that they were on the “right side of history”. The more the Dems swung left, the closer to the right side of history they were. Their leftist views were naturally superior. They were based on science while their opponents were superstitious buffoons. They were enlightened while their enemies were bigots. They were smart and conservatives were dumb.

Delusions of superiority had convinced them that Republicans couldn’t win an honest election. When Bush won, it was because his brother and the Supreme Court had rigged the election. The Republican victories that swept much of the country were only due to voter suppression and redistricting.

The Democrats had allowed themselves to believe that they were so innately superior that they couldn’t lose an election except through fraud or dirty tricks. The humiliating defeats of McGovern, Carter, Mondale and Dukakis were all in the past. They had gone so far to the left that they couldn’t lose.

They had confused ideology with electability. The fallacy of fanatics is the conviction that their beliefs explain reality. And that following their beliefs must therefore lead to a successful outcome.

Leftists had convinced themselves that winning elections was an inevitable as the success of ObamaCare and the rejuvenation of the economy. Their media became a propaganda echo chamber filled with their own assurances of inevitable victory. But ObamaCare failed, the economy lingered and Trump won.

Instead of realizing that they had been lying to themselves, they seized on conspiracy theories.

Convinced of their natural superiority, members of the Master Party believed that their subjective contempt for Republicans in general and Trump specifically was an objective truth. It wasn’t that they despised conservatives. No, conservatives were inherently despicable. And Trump was so despicable and so absurd that he just had to lose. It was inconceivable that he couldn’t have lost. So he had lost.

Human beings don’t react well to having their egomaniacal fantasies come apart around them.

After losing World War I, many Germans seized on the Dolchstosslegende or the Stab-in-the-Back theory to explain what happened. The German military didn’t lose the war. It was undermined and stabbed in the back. Otherwise, despite the collapse of its allies and the entry of the United States, it would have won. The Nazis rode the Dolchstosslegende all the way into power. And to an even more devastating defeat in an even more devastating war all while trying to disprove the fact that America, the United Kingdom, France and Russia really could beat them in a war once there were no more Jews in Germany.

You can deny reality, but reality always wins.

Unsurprisingly, the Dolchstosslegende was most popular with German military leaders. Likewise the Democrat Dolchstosslegende arose from the ranks of Hillary’s campaign leaders. It’s those in charge of the losing team who have the most incentive to blame anyone and everyone else. The Nazis blamed a long list of people including the Jews. The Democrats blamed everyone from the FBI to the Russians.

Hillary has become another Hindenburg touting her own Dolchstosslegende. Her latest book, ‘What Happpened’, will put the Dolchstosslegende into print. It will list everyone who lost the election for her. ‘What Happened’ may be an awkward title, but calling it ‘Mein Kampaign’ might have been a bit much.

The Hillary Dolchstosslegende tearing apart our country passes itself off as patriotism. The Nazis claimed that they were patriots too. But Dolchstosslegendes aren’t patriotic. They’re exercises in divisiveness by losers who don’t want to take responsibility for their stupidity, incompetence and hypocrisy.

Hillary went from pressing a reset button with one of Putin’s minions to a posthumous political campaign claiming that Putin had rigged the election. Never mind that even if Russian hackers did leak Podesta’s emails, less than 1% of Americans have any idea who Podesta is or cared about the contents of his chats. But Podesta’s emails embarrassed the future promoters of the Dolchstosslegende.

And that’s why the Dolchstosslegende’s humiliated inventors are obsessed with their own emails.

John Podesta and Robby Mook had formulated the Russian Dolchstosslegende after her defeat. Podesta and Mook, like General Ludendorff and Hindenburg had the most need to assign failure elsewhere. And millions of loyalists were eager to be convinced that they had not truly been defeated.

The Clinton campaign was as big of a disaster as the Hindenburg Program. Both were Socialist projects that substituted technocracy for common sense leading to utter disaster. Rather than admit that their plan didn’t work, Hindenburg and Ludendorff blamed the defeat on the battlefield and misery at home on a conspiracy. The Nazis then tried to prove that a Socialist militarized industry could work once you got rid of all the possible conspirators. After killing six millions Jews, National Socialism still didn’t work.

Meanwhile Clintonworld had been trying to prove that Hillary’s ’08 loss to Obama was a fluke. They proved it by rigging the Dem primaries only to have Hillary lose the general election. And so out came more excuses. Hillary was an unbeatable candidate. The left was unbeatable. It was a conspiracy.

The myths of the undefeated Germany and the undefeated Democrats were rooted in a false conviction of superiority. A populace glutted on an endless diet of propaganda found it inconceivable that they had lost. As a dog returns to its vomit, the Democrats began licking the propaganda out of their media sewer twice as hard. They ate up the lies that they hadn’t lost, the promises that they would soon reclaim what was rightfully theirs and that everyone who had conspired against them would soon be punished.

Then they turned to street violence and attempted coups… because those worked so well in Germany.

At the maddest there are the ravings of Twitter experts who promise that the intelligence community will shortly be rounding up and executing all the traitors. But even the mainstream media, CNN, the Washington Post and the New York Times feed their readers a poisonous glut of the Dolchstosslegende.

It’s bad for the Democrats and it’s worse for the democracy.

Instead of learning from their defeat, an entire political party, its elected officials and a sizable portion of its base have convinced themselves once again that a presidential election was illegitimate. They have staked their hopes on a coup, ranging from military intervention to impeachment, to undo it all.

Instead of questioning the superiority of their leftist ideology, they have doubled down on it. Like the National Socialists, the Socialist supporters of the far left have turned to street violence, they fantasize about military coups and media coups, without caring about the damage that they are doing to America.

The Democrats believed that they would win the election because their left-wing politics were absolutely right. Now they are convinced that they will pull off their coup because they are even more fanatically left-wing in 2017 than they were in 2016. This same logic led the Nazis to destroy Germany. And the Democrats have learned absolutely nothing about the dangers of delusional fanaticism.

They were told that they are on the right side of history. And if the right side of history requires wrecking the political process, a coup and a civil war, they are willing to pay it. Just as in the election, they can’t lose because they’re on the right side of history. Wherever they end up must be utopia.

They are willing to destroy everything rather than question their delusions of superiority.

The Soviet Union attributed all its setbacks to sabotage, rather than policy failures. Muslims continue to believe that they lost their last Caliphate, the Ottoman Empire, due to an assortment of conspiracies from the Jews and the Freemasons. The Dolchstosslegende is as ubiquitous as it is destructive. It is seductive because it tells us the lie that we most wish to believe in our darkest hour.

The lie is that we did nothing wrong and do not need to change.

The Democrats’ Dolchstosslegende is the surest way of turning 2020 into a repeat of 2016.
