Dick Morris analyzing Hillary on Hannity & Colmes

[RationalThought110]

He knows a lot about the Clintons.

It was an excellent segment, with plenty of gory details about Hillary's multiple involvements with the Black Panthers, especially during a cop-killing torture-murder case. (She spent every day going to the trial as a pro-Black Panther onlooker, and joined the law firm of the head of California's Communist Party to defend the gang, offering her services as an intern.)

But what really got me was the way Alan Colmes lied repeatedly for her, distorting and twisting Dick Morris's words every which way in an attempt to do damage control.

Good analysis. 

Colmes lies for every liberal.

In January, the Democrats in the congress held a conference for their party.  As one of their guests to speak, they invited an imam who is a supporter of CAIR. 

Colmes defended the Democrats for having invited him to speak.  When Hannity interrogated him on Hannity&Colmes, he was asking him if he supports terrorism, the Iran regime, al-qaeda, PLO terrorists and he basically said yes to all of them.  Then, Colmes was basically speechless.

I remember the beautiful Laura Ingraham asking Colmes why he insisted on "carrying water for the ayatollahs," meaning the Iranian Muslim terrorists.

Obviously, Laura hasn't studied JTF on the subject of sick, self-hating Jews.

Off-topic, but isn't Laura Ingraham an Establishment "conservative" like Rush?

First, explain what an "establishment conservative" is and how Rush fits this.  Does Rush's brother David also fit it?  What about Michelle Malkin?

This is the crux of our dilemma at JTF.

An establishment conservative, whether a media personality or a political figure, is someone who seems conservative on the surface, and who often says all of the right things, but who actually does more harm than good to the cause, by failing to use his or her position to accomplish something concrete. Instead, this person uses his or her position of power to profit personally, all of the while serving the establishment by throwing a sop  to, and lulling to sleep, genuine rank-and-file conservatives desperate for a voice to represent them and an agenda to carry out.

All of the well-known conservative commentators, with the possible exception of Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin and a handful of others, fall into this category, according to JTF. For example, Chaim has often said that he wishes that conservative commentors, in response to the illegal alien crisis, would advocate massive civil disobedience. But they never do.

Nor does Sean Hannity, to take another instance, ever refrain from speaking of Islam's "militant wing" as if there was any other.

The problem with following JTF's line of razor-thin ideology is that sooner or later, rightly or wrongly, you end up painting yourself into a corner. The forces arrayed against us - the media, the government, big business and, last but not least, the apathy and stupidity of the American people - are so powerful that if you don't play along, like Rush and Sean and Laura, you end up trying to get your message across by begging people to favorite your videos on YouTube. This is especially true when you're addicted to calling blacks monkeys with excrement in their hair, and saying a lot of other things which hack away at your potential audience like a butcher with a cleaver.

It's not an easy question, and there are no easy answers.
