What would you call it?

This article talks about a new organization, Stop Her Now, whose openly avowed purpose is to thwart Hillary Clinton’s Presidental run. Whether or not that’s a good idea is left up to the individual.

But I was amused by the statement from the organization’s executive director Will Black who ridiculed Clinton by saying “She always has to have a bogeyman, whether it’s Stop Her Now or ‘the vast right wing conspiracy’.”

So if I’m getting this straight, Mr Black, who is the head of a conservative group whose only purpose is to oppose Hillary Clinton, is making fun of Hillary Clinton for claiming that there are conservative groups whose only purpose is to oppose her.

That’s gotta be some tasty kool-aid.

I guess he’s admitting the group isn’t vast?

It’s probably at least half-vast.

C’mon! you knew somebody was going to say it!

What Presidential run? When did HRC announce that she was running for for President?

The guy sounds like a total boob. Let Hillary do whatever she desires. The best way to defeat her is to have a better candidate, which shouldn’t prove to be a daunting task.

Interestingly, the letters in “Stop Her Now” can be re-arranged to spell “Stern Whoop”. Just, ya know, FYI. :smiley:

She hasn’t. But a vast right wing conspiracy isn’t something you can just throw together at the last minute.

On the other hand, if she doesn’t run, Stop Her Now can presumedly do nothing, claim they were successful, and pocket all the money they’ve collected.

Sounds like Bialystock and Bloom have gotten into politics.

Don’t see any tigers around here, do you?

There’s a website entitled “Christopher Walken” for Prez, and he’s certainly not running, so I guess these people took a hint and decided to be ultra-prepared.

Yeah, but finding a better candidate is hard. It’s far easier to make your candidate look better than their opponent. That’s why you sling mud. Don’t you pay attention to politics?

Very nice!

Morons in politics have a long and proud history, and those that loathe Hillary tend to have an extra double plus helping of absurdity.

A few years back, my girlfriend got a mailing from a gun support group. She was supposed to send a contribution back with a slip with the following multiple choice question:

-Yes, I believe in freedom and liberty, and believe in America. Here is my contribution of _______.

-No, I side with Hillary Clinton and want to take away all of our freedoms. I hate America.

This was serious? Not a Landover Baptist Church parody type mailing?

Holy catfish. :eek:

Yes, I believe it was. But it was such a parody of itself I had to wonder for a bit. I had a strong urge to write them a strongly worded letter, but then I figured that these were loony extremists who also owned guns, so why tempt fate. Also, I didn’t have a stamp.

It’s been, like, so TOTALLY clear that she’s running for president for, like, YEARS, man. Like, the whole Bill Clinton presidency was just there to, like, set her up for the seat.

Seriously though, I still wouldn’t put it past her to run, but it is kind of silly to try and thwart her before she’s even officially annouced her intention.

There is no publicity like free publicity.

What a fucking idiot.

  1. :stuck_out_tongue:

At times like this, I wonder if Hillary keeps dangling the “I might run for Prez” meme just to distract the right-wing nutgroups (an oxymoron, I know :wink: ) and induce them to burn through their cash all that quicker.
