but it's certainly a creative, and an accurate, response to "the rhetorical flatulence of Hillary Clinton."



Clintonville is certainly an appropriate response to Clinton neo-liberalism.

I can't say I disagree with this:

The Clintons have done enough damage,” she said. “They decimated the working class with the North American Free Trade Agreement. They exploded the prison population under the 1994 Omnibus Crime bill and draconian drug laws that mandated life sentences. They destroyed the welfare system, and under the old system 70 percent of the recipients were children. They turned the airwaves over to a half dozen corporations by deregulating the FCC. They ripped down the firewalls between commercial and investment banks that precipitated the global meltdown. There is not a war they don’t support. And their record on civil liberties is appalling. We cannot afford more of the same. We are either going to build third party movements or an American Spring.”


Efficacy? Who knows. It sure as hell provides a great way to express opinions about the whole thing.
