I remember watching the democratic primaries 8 years ago, and still vividly recall how all the democrats were going “If I’m elected President…” chicken in every pot, flower in every window yadda yadda. But not Clinton. She said “When I’m elected President…” I don’t know. Something about that put me off.

So what’s New? It’s always a hoot when a radical turns on their own for incomplete radical activity! Rather like Lenin vs Trotsky!

Yes, the American Reichstag is controlled by the Nazi Party.

The first female president IS the revolution! While we have her campaign talking critically, condescendingly and annoyingly at women.When the Clinton campaign is feeling cornered, misunderstood and down in the polls (as it was in 2008) its worst instincts come out.

Very unfair and pretty funny. I like Rall when he’s outrageous. He does have a point, even if it’s way way way out of proportion. “A 3% reduction in the Holocaust” is perfect. Perfectly nasty.

Thanks for that detailed explanation. I think the term neo-liberal must have originally been dreamed up by George Orwell (“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”)
