With apologies to Orwell:
Some slur makers are better than others

Radio supremo, author and mulling-it-over presidential candidate Michael Savage is right (as he is on most things) when he claims Hillary Clinton is behind the attack on Don Imus. (http://www.michaelsavage.com, April 13, 2007).
The fancy footwork of the junior senator from New York in having Imus fired is up there in marquis headlines on the Savage site. The gonads endowed Savage fears nothing, least of all a wanton Mrs. Bill Clinton out on the warpath.
Don Imus one snubbed Hillary by refusing to accept the Donald Trump-proffered plea to have her on his radio show. And most folk know that no one turns Hillary down and gets away with it.
Imus who calls Hillary "Satan" reiterated that there was no way he'd be offering airtime to what he perceives as the devil incarnate herself.
The first wind Canada Free Press (CFP) caught of Hillary's black hand in the Imus affair came through Peter Paul, self-described as "Hillary Clinton's largest 2000 donor turned nemesis". Peter Paul could be said to have (and Hillary will likely state so right away) his own axe to grind because he is suing America's wannabee first family. For the uninitiated, Paul is an international corporate lawyer, Hollywood entrepreneur and now whistleblower, whose efforts to hire Bill Clinton in 2000 as Rainmaker for his public company Stan Lee Media with Spider Man creator Stan Lee resulted in what Paul alleges as "the largest campaign finance fraud on record attributed to Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign." The indictment and trial of Hillary Clinton's finance director, and a $60 million civil fraud suit against the Clintons is now pending in Los Angeles, California.
Eagle-eyed Paul was among the first to recognize the shiv in the back of the cantankerous Imus as Hillary's,
"Speaking truth to power through humor has fueled Don Imus's broadcasting career for three decades," wrote Paul. "His audience has been built on unbridled political commentary and the humor that comes from political incorrectness, the political and social "polish jokes" of the evolving pop culture."
Noting the results of Imus' past infringements on acceptable "racial and religious" humor in a particularly brutal way, Paul said "he was chastised and allowed to continue unabated broadcasting his stream of consciousness iconoclastic view of the world after a simple apology."
"But Imus was ill prepared for the iron fist of Hillary Clinton that struck a knock out blow to his future as a media personality this week. His humorously pathetic efforts to emulate a Hip Hop artist in his choice of phraseology about a black girls' basketball team provided the fuel that Hillary's media goon squad could use to finally burn Imus at the stake in the name of racial respect. Hillary was poised to pounce on Imus' mainstay of racially lame humor when it was politically convenient for her to do so.
"On April 5, Imus gave Hillary's race baiters the necessary race card to remove the only media gadfly that dared to call a spade a spade when it came to Hillary Clinton's malevolent and above the law political career and ambitions."
Paul remembered that Imus had snubbed his nose at who he describes as "the would-be Empress of the World" and her "lack of any socially redeeming political clothes".
"Almost instantaneously, the "nappy headed ho" quote was recalled from the previous day by the always indignant defender of all things Black, Reverend Al, who came forward to incite the willing media hordes and set the bonfire that guaranteed Imus's immolation."
Hard to believe that even as Imus was pulling the shiv out of his back, the rap music that keeps the image of "nappy headed hos" alive played on.
Just as the brouhaha rocks on.
Earth to right wing radio talk show hosts: It's getting closer to Election Year and Hill's still on the rampage.
Or as Paul so aptly puts it: "Once again Hillary has shown that anyone in the media who tangles with her will be destroyed offering the highest profile media victim to date as an example to everyone in the media, who might consider exposing or commenting on her pervasive corruption, that they'll be completely vanquished and destroyed."
"It should be crystal clear that what is happening to Don Imus today is illustrative of what will happen to anyone who dares criticize or expose Hillary Clinton for the unprincipled and amoral megalomaniac that she is, especially after she usurps the absolute power of a Hillary Clinton white House should the American people's indifference enable her to do so."
The Hillary Clinton White House would be the one from which rap music not the refined tinkling of the piano would always emanate.
Rap music, we hear, contributes strongly to the Hillary Clinton campaign.
More than ironic when considers that in her own way a girl called Hillary Rodham was a sort of Don Imus without the microphone.
"In his book "State of a Union: Inside the Complex Marriage of Bill and Hillary Clinton", Jerry Oppenheimer alleges that Hillary Rodham--then Bill Clinton's girlfriend--called adviser Paul Fray a "Jew bastard" to his face on election night. Bill Clinton lost the race for Arkansas' 3rd Congressional District to incumbent Rep. John Paul Hammerschmidt by 6,000 votes out of 190,000 cast," writes Paul.
"Oppenheimer stood by his account on Sunday. "Three witnesses have now publicly acknowledged that she said it," Oppenheimer said.
"The three people identified by Oppenheimer told CNN that Rodham uttered the slur.
The witnesses, Oppenheimer said, are 57-year-old Fray, the Arkansas native and career political operative who led Bill Clinton's unsuccessful 1974 race; his wife, Mary Lee Fray, who also worked on the campaign; and Neill McDonald, another former campaign worker.
"Paul Fray told CNN that Rodham had indeed uttered the slur. "You've got to understand, it was the heat of the moment. We knew we had lost. It was a case of people lashing out at one another, and it just got to that point," he said.
"Asked his immediate reaction, he said, "I was a little defensive about it. I looked to the floor, thinking, `How do I respond?' I didn't mind being called an SOB to my face, but when it comes to attacking my culture, that's a whole 'nother ballgame.
"Fray said Bill Clinton said nothing during that part of the argument.
"Fray said that, although he is a Southern Baptist, 'my lineage is Jewish.' He said his great-grandfather was Jewish and that he, as a result, is one-eighth Jewish. Fray said he told Bill Clinton about his heritage prior to the night of the alleged slur.
"In her news conference Sunday, Hillary Clinton said she had no recollection of the meeting. She said she was responding to the charges because they had no merit."
Meanwhile, as George Orwell might say some slur makers are better than other slur makers.
