The Man Who Guards Clinton's Wikipedia Entry

Timothy found a profile in The New Republic of Jonathan Schilling, a 53-year-old software developer from New Jersey who works to keep Hillary Clinton's Wikipedia entry clean and fair throughout the election season. "After he started editing her page in June 2005, Schilling became consumed with trying to capture her uncomfortable place in American culture, researching and writing a whole section on how she polarizes the public... [T]he attacks on Hillary's page mainly take the form of crude vandalism... It's different on Obama's page, where the fans — no surprise — are more enthusiastic, the haters are more intelligent, and the arguments reflect the fact that Obama himself is still a work under construction... The bitterness of the fights on Obama's page could be taken as a bad sign for the candidate. But it may actually be Hillary's page that contains the more troubling omens. Few, if any, Hillary defenders are standing watch besides Schilling. In recent days, the vaguely deserted air of a de-gentrifying neighborhood has settled over her page..."

Or the fact that Hilary is getting the female vote while staying loyal to a complete skirt-chaser, for strictly political reasons. I think the women vote that goes her way is the typical stereotype men detest - irrational, manipulative, will do anything to get her means (vote for a woman even though she's a political hooker).

First, John McCain is not the enemy. America has many enemies. Osama Bin Laden would be a fine example of one. John McCain is not an enemy of America. For that matter, he's a true American hero. I'm not saying that qualifies him to president any more than it did John Kerry, but don't take an American hero and call him the "enemy". That's just hateful, partisan rhetoric. Enough of the hate speech already.

This is an election. Osama Bin Laden is not running, despite the excitement a religious fundamentalist who believes in kicking ass would generate for the Republican Party. Therefore, the Republican candidate for election this year is John McCain. And he's a disaster in waiting, for all the reasons I described and more. He's the enemy of Democrats at this election. Oh sure, we have many enemies outside of this election, but in this election we have one serious enemy, and that man is John McCain.

Typical of the left. Lying about their opponent and declaring them the "enemy". HERE is a video of what he said.

Notice he didn't say that he WANTED to be in Iraq for 100 years. He said he would do what it takes to protect America.

He then went on to note that we've had soldiers in Germany, Italy, Britain, Japan, South Korea and other places for over 50 years. If you are going to bitch about American soldiers being station over seas, you should start with these places where US forces have been stationed over 10X longer.

I didn't lie about him. McCain has made it clear he's not going to pull out of Iraq. The "100 years" quote is great because it nearly and succinctly describes McCain's actual position on Iraq. Not only does he not want to pull out, he wants to expand the war. He's talking seriously about us invading Iran.

Iran. We've lost how many lives in Iraq? We've killed how many innocents (an inevitable consequence of war, which is one of the reasons why war needs to be considered a last resort, something you fuckers have serious problems understanding)? And we're losing how many trillions of dollars on this at a time when the economy is on the brink of complete collapse? And here we are, with McCain saying we should hang in there, that he thinks it's just like Britain (did we ever invade Britain?), Germany, and Japan (because those are somehow comparable situations), and we should continue to shove troops that way, keep them in a hostile country surrounded by even more hostile countries, for a century or more, while considering invading a few other countries that we don't like much.

Yeah, damn straight he's the enemy at this election. And as I said to Democrats considering staying home because poor little Hillary or liddle Obama didn't get the nomination: McCain is a terrible choice, and to pull down the imperfect candidate that opposes him because that candidate dared speak ill of your candidate is, ultimately, an act of treason, a betrayal of a nation of people, of your neighbors and friends and family and yourself.

Hillary who?

When I read the articles title I immediately assumed it referred to Bill Clinton. It quite literally never even occurred to me to even consider that it might be referring to Hillary. She didn't even come to mind. This is despite the fact that I am often around TVs tuned to CNN. That is how important she is to me now. And, no, I am not sexist. I do think there are women who would make a great POTUS, and I originally thought she would be adequate, or maybe even slightly above the norm ... then she started opening her mouth and dispelling the illusion.
