Hillary Clinton's gutter politics
If you thought that Hillary Clinton's increasingly directionless campaign did not have some further reservoirs of self-immolating malice to draw upon, please disabuse yourself of the notion. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Exhibit A: a new television spot being run in Texas in advance of that state's primary on March 4th. The conventional wisdom is that, simply, Team Hillary needs a clear victory to even stay in the race. So here's the spot, titled "Children":
To place that in context, here's one of the final ads from Team Bush in 2004, "Wolves":
How astonishingly depraved: after eight years of fear-mongering, a leading Democratic candidate embraces the Rovian playbook. They're not even being subtle about it.
Vote for me or your children die. Appalling.

This ad takes white woman privilege to a whole 'nother level

I was shocked and appalled by it.
It's not the white little kids sleeping placidly in their white picket fenced suburban house.
I was actually offended by the mother coming in, in full masculinist working clothes (she's wearing a shirt not a blouse), did I see some pearls there as well?
And what the fucks is it about her at the end.
I don't think they need to hire him, but I'd love to know anyway if Rove is part of this campaign because, man, "politics of fear" certainly is.
