Should Hillary Head a Rapid Response Team? Email Print

Standing at or top of the list of why the Republican putatively "Christian love" right wing hates Bill Clinton is because of his deft political skills, which helped him to wrest their presumed monarchical possession of the presidency and then renew his White House occupancy for a second four year term.

After having seen how the hate mongering, frequently racist antics of Lee Atwater along with fellow henchman George W. Bush and others attacked Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis in 1988 by using the Willie Horton Case and the pledge of allegiance as wedge issues, Clinton in 1992 used a shrewd ploy to enable his candidacy to fight back against hate campaigning.

In addition to instituting what was termed the War Room in Little Rock, Clinton launched a Rapid Response Team.  It was coordinated so deftly that George H. W. Bush, used to getting away with excesses in 1988, was stunned when the Democratic responders had thoroughly rebutted his acceptance speech at the Republican Convention in Houston before he finished delivering it.

If there is one person who is probably smoldering more than any other Democrat at this moment it would figure to be Hillary Clinton.  The bilious Republican right has unloaded venomous insults against Hillary through the years at an equivalent level to the political Molotov cocktails figuratively hurled at her husband.

Wait... There's more! (1 comment, 865 words in story)
