Or should I say “Hysterical Woman OR<\/em> South LA Looters”I spotted a video on Ed Brayton’s site (Hillary Supporter Comes Unhinged<\/a> showing a woman at the recent Rules Committee meeting being very hysterical about the outcome of that meeting. The money quote from her tirade is<\/p>\n

.throwing the election away…for what — an inadequate black male who would not have been running had it not been a white woman that was running for president.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(Video is below)Now, does anyone want to tell me what is wrong in this picture?No? OK, then, let me start.An hysterical woman is a woman who’s ovaries have exploded and caused her to go nuts. Doctors discovered some time ago that this could be fixed by removing the offending ovaries, and thus, the “hysterectomy” was invented.Now, let me explain something to those of you who have never left the cave (which I suspect is very few). Crazy angry ranting people such as this poor woman can be found everywhere, especially at Democratic Party events, as part of the events, or at Republican Party events, as people the Republicans won’t let in but whom the local authorities may tolerate.And these crazy ranting people come in all forms. They can be black, white, or red, they can be men or women, older or younger, vets, anti-abortion yahoos, RR clinic defenders, professors, students, etc.What they really are are people who have gone over the edge because they have great passion and have either run into a brick wall or they have had a brick wall dumped on them. Add to this a little imbalance in the medication, a mild neurosis, or a couple of drinks, and you may get even more fireworks, but none of these (very common) factors are necessary. All you need is passion and a couple of bad turns.But there is another story I could tell you and it would be quite believable. Look at the video (below). It turns out that all across the country, we are finding hysterical women decrying the way in which Hillary Clinton, and together with her all women, are being treated. Our country may be ready for a woman president, but clearly we are not ready for a woman getting this close<\/em> to being president then loosing. Hell has no fury like a woman scorned.But wait! In a slightly different Universe, I could tell you a slightly<\/em> different story. Try this on for size:Imagine that instead of Obama being ahead of Clinton by a couple hundred delegates and a few percent in the popular vote, it was the other way around. Imagine that it was clear about when all but 10 or so primaries were to be completed that numerically, Clinton would very likely be the nominee. Imagine if there were people getting annoyed at Obama bing in the race after he clearly lost. And so on and so forth (you understand, I’m suggesting a reverse of the present situation).I promise you that if we traveled in the Situational Alternative Situation Machine (SASM) over to that universe, then you would be seeing YouTube videos (over on Brayton’s site) about disgruntled black youths acting very edgy, and you’d have threats of looting in South LA (and elsewhere) and blacks who had recently gotten into the politics for the first time saying something very much like the woman in our video said:<\/p>\n

“And they think we won’t all turn and vote for McCain? Well, I’ve got news for all of you. McCain will be the next president of the United States.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You see, the media can pick and choose.I have a lot of respect for Ed Brayton, and I love his blog, but I do think may be posting this video with the quote he gave is actually perpetuating the situation. If you listen to what she says, her remark cited above is not the racist remark it sounds like, at all. She sounds, rather, like a typical big-tent Democrat. Listen to the whole thing and tell me if I’m wrong.Having said that, I do not like the “I’m voting for McCain” attitude. Lady, I understand your anger and I get what you are saying and I think you are being exploited.But this remark about McCain? For that<\/em> you can kiss my ass. With this remark, you show me that you are not a true Democrat.<\/param><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
