Why do rightwingers still think Clinton has so much power?
it's happening now. The media is jumping on Bush because it's controlled by Clinton. Tenet backstabbed him because he's being manipulated by Clinton. Bush really won Florida but he had too much trouble getting credit for it because Clinton put up obstacles in some way. The UN didn't give Boy George a blank check because it's controlled by Clinton. Clinton was behind McCain's campaign because he couldn't let Bush get the nomination.

These are all theories I've heard. It's like they see the world at war, between "the good guys" being the illegimite adminstration we have now and Clinton lurking in the shadows, trying to bring the end of humanity as we know it. Here's another Freeper quote: "Clinton may be more evil than bin Laden and Saddam put together"

1. 'Cuz they can't get a blowjob except forcibly or for ready money
He must be diabolical and superhuman. It's fear, hatred, jealousy and the fact that he STEALS THEIR SCHTICK BY TOTIN' 'ROUND THAT DAMN BIBLE!

Women are attracted to him; you know Tom Delay just seethes over that.

..They need a scape goat for every lie. So, they try to make it look like it all started with Clinton's Administration.

They just refuse to take responsiblity for the mess they got us into.

DENIAL...DENIAL...DENIAL!

6. Remember "1984"?

Everything is due to Emmanuel Goldstein. Everything.

It's really that Clinton represents all the things they can't get their little minds around. In 50 years this will no longer be a dominantly white society, it won't be a place where undereducated white men get the good ol' boy network's affirmative action to management level anymore, it won't have the present medieval economic order. The Selfannointed American Dullard realizes he's going the way of the dinosaurs. So their thinking turns Gnostic. It's like little children breaking the toy they don't want to give back to the kid they hate.

They can't win anymore- American is becoming American, post-Europagan. When they're not off sabotaging and stealing from people who are their betters they do seem to spend a lot of time prevaricating and whining, though. The saddest part is their "morality"- pre-Christian at best, immoralism-in-denial for the most part.

And yes, Clinton is our Ulysses Grant figure now, coordinating the crushing of their power by our political armies from behind the scenes. An impalpable presence responsible for everything and nothing as they feel their Second Lost Cause increasingly strangled, their dreams of power crumbling inexorably before the many agents of change.

8. In a way, he does have as much power as they think.
Clinton is more popular with everyday people than ANY repuglican, Including their darling Raygun. So much, in fact, that wherever he goes, there are still HUGE crowds of adoring Americansoverjoyed to meet him. No first amendment zones either. It sticks in their craw that their "popular" resident is met by so much hostility everywhere. They have a massive inferiority complex, which is why they want to put everyone else down.

10. It's simple
They know * is an imbecile, yet they can't admit it. The Big Dog owns the right wing.

12. It's a disease they can't cure.
He has gotten into their psyche so much that it will take an exorcism to root it out. Even after all these years it's really an amazing thing to watch.

14. They need some one to hate to stay in power.
If the people are not really happy with your plans get someone to hate. So they run on no taxes and we hate Clinton. Could you really run on we are spending your SS and building more weapons and giving the money to the very rich.They put in the Bible and the keeping the un-White Am out and you got it.

13. its like the BFEE stuff here
Both sides sees the other as a conspiracy of sorts. Clinton is just the personification of that for them, similar to the way Bush is for folks on our side.

15. Clinton enjoys life and they don't
Edited on Sun Jul-13-03 07:22 AM by Mountainman
Right wingers have bought the fundie idea that if you live a sexually repressed life you will be rewarded by success and heaven.

Clinton is a sexual being and he flaunts it and he is succesful. Clinton proves the lie in fundie thinking and they can't stand that because they really want to be like him and can't let themselves. I'll bet that a majority of male right wingers would like to have a blow job by Monica if no one ever found out. Clinton got one and they didn't.

16. the demon Hillary...
Hillary the "feminazi" represents the archtypal, evil, powerful female. It's a primal fear -- ya know, the vagina with teeth.

17. Because EVERYTHING is about the Clintons--you didn't know?
You can't even go through a thread about the Democratic primaries without some right-winger moaning, "But wait! Hillary will jump in at the end!"

Some right-winger got a solitication for some political conspiracy book recently. She interpreted it as a definitieve news article that Hillary Clinton would run in 2004, and all of the other wingnuts joined her for a never-ending thread about it.

The Clintons are what really solidified the hard-core right wingnuts in the nineties. The Clintons themselves had nothing to do with it--it was right-wing talk radio, etc. all the politics that got them all fired up. When the wingnuts found they had a common "enemy" (thriving on an "us versus them" provincial mentality), they were off and running. This continued for years, and they just can't shake it.

18. They enjoy victim status
They can avoid responsibility for themselves and their stupid leader by blaming everything and anything on the "librul" media.
