Glamour magazine did an interview of Jen O’Malley Dillon, Joe Biden’s campaign manager. Normally Glamour isn’t where we go for news but it is more insightful these days than CNN. Anyway, Biden’s campaign manager was the talk of Twitter yesterday for her comments in Glamour.
It was interesting listen to her explain the administrations drive for character assassination and career genocide.
It seems they plan to forge a productive working relationship with its loyal opposition. She must be talking about John Kasich and Bill Krystal. She repeats the very insincere talking point: The administration is ready to compromise to advance the urgent interests of the American people.
Then she took the time to make sure the interviewer understood the depth of her insincerity. This is clear because she felt the need to make the point with base vulgarity. Republicans are a “bunch of f**kers.” Dillon said, “I’m not saying they’re not a bunch of fuckers… Mitch McConnell is terrible.” This is not the stuff of sincerity in seeking compromise… just saying.
Dillon’s remark made it clear Biden’s team considers the opposition to be an enemy. Biden can mealy mouth and soft sell all he wants. Even his own people have not bought in. If he isn’t able to sell it to the faithful it is not what he intends to do. There’s no intent to heal the country’s divisions or reaching across the aisle. Anyone not on the bus is someone with whom compromise is neither acceptable nor possible. They will be subject to career genocide and character assassination.
It is intuitively obvious to the casual observer…
This kind of makes you wonder. When is the last time a prominent Democrat had harsh words like that for one of America’s actual enemies? Let’s see, Ben Rhodes told us that there was nobody his boss dislikes working with more than Israel’s Bibi Netanyahu. Rhodes said Netanyahu was “dishonest” and “not on the level.” Heard anything that harsh about the tyrants in Havana, Caracas, Beijing, Moscow or Tehran? Just asking…
When have the Democrats offered a harsh word for those fuckers? Obama himself reportedly overruled advisers. They wanted to signal support for the 2009 Green Revolution. But Barry was refusing to risk alienating that regime… even as it slaughtered its people in the streets.
At the time White House press secretary Robert Gibbs came up with this withering condemnation: “Like the rest of the world, we were impressed by the vigorous debate and enthusiasm that this election generated, particularly among young Iranians. We continue to monitor the entire situation closely.”
The Democrats stand ready to compromise with the murders leading Iran, Cuba and China. They work to understand the root causes of their hostility to America. Yeah right. And one never gets the sense that they have to hold their noses in the process.
Do they disdain America’s enemies? Or is it only us they hold in utter and complete contempt? You know, the 75 million Americans who stand in opposition to their agenda of appeasement and decline, who they despise? It seems pretty apparent.
Even the casual observer can Grok the point. The socialists plan on genocide of conservatives… if they can. If not they may settle for career genocide and character assassination. That would be their definition of compromise.
