Just a quick note, but the Facebook group "Stop Hillary Clinton: (One Million Strong AGAINST Hillary)" is at nearly 975,000 and rapidly closing in on its final goal.
Assuming it makes it before Pennsylvania, it'll make a tiny media blurb. But from a cultural perspective, it'll be a significant one because it'll perfectly exemplify an election-related story that wouldn't have appeared had it not been for a bunch of yokels on Facebook. Therefore, I would argue that participation in the group represents an act of activism. It's electronic engagement replacing in-person engagement, but it's still engagement.
This is one of those subtle examples of participation going on underneath the radar that today's young people rarely get credit for when experts and pundits compare us to generations like the 1960s. It's not a street protest, but it still matters.
In a recent black & white
In a recent black & white Pennsylvania political ad, 3 year-old Hillary Rodham, arms extended, toddles toward the camera. Hillary's voice-over explains the Rodham family cottage, down by the lake, lacked indoor plumbing. It was hardship borne from the start. Yet, more telling events seem to fall by the wayside. Take Hillary's first real job, with, I might add, indoor plumbing. The upshot: Jerry Zeifman fired Hillary for unethical practices during the Watergate Investigation. Why was twenty-seven year old Hillary fired? “Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in a recent interview. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”
Not only does Mr. Zeifman’s story go to character, it goes to a lifelong pattern of lying and obfuscation. And, it took Zeifman twelve years to get it aired. After Watergate, Zeifman could not recommend Hillary for any subsequent position of public or private trust, nor furnish her with a letter of recommendation. After that TKO, Hillary Clinton's employment record is one of strict nepotism and cronyism. Although few suspected the lengths to which Hillary would go, a leopard never changes her spots. Again, Hillary Clinton is a bold-faced liar, who will stop at nothing. Should anyone doubt Mr. Zeifman's veracity regarding the Clintons: http://theseedsof9-11.com
According to Mr. Zeifman, it’s not just that Hillary is dishonest; no one disputes that fact. It's more the actual length of time she has behaved in a fraudulent manner. Make that, one million and one strong, against Hillary! "The Clintons corrupted the soul of the Democratic Party." -Henry Ruth, lead Watergate courtroom prosecutor.
