From the diaries by Erick
Hillary Clinton has outdone her hypocritical self once again.
She correctly stated that terrorist Abdel Bassett al Megrahi should serve his sentence to completion, to quote her State Department which she is clearly in charge, “Our interest is in justice and….the commitment to the families.” He had a fair trial. He was convicted He’s serving his time. And we think he should stay in jail.” I could not agree more.
However, when political gain was at stake she did not see it that way.
Ironically ten years ago this week, when it was politically expedient for her senate run, the Clintons, with an assist from Eric Holder granted clemency to 16 equally remorse less FALN terrorists who also were convicted after fair trials.
Obviously Mrs. Clinton still believes the citizenry do not see through her cynical ‘do as I say, not as I do’ politics.
Some of us however are paying attention.
Joseph F. Connor
Mr. Connor’s father, Frank, 33 was killed by the FALN in the 1975 Fraunces Tavern bombing. Joe has written several OP Eds for The Post on other publications and testified this year before the Senate Judiciary Committee against Eric Holder’s AG nomination.

Official “outrage” after the horse has fled the barn is specious at its best face.

NeoKong (Diary) Friday, August 21st at 7:08PM EST (link)You tell it Joe.
That’s is no better than Barack Obama supposedly being outraged that Scotland released convicted terrorist Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al Megrahi even though he and his wife have benefitted from their long term friendship with Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn.
He couldn’t care less.

Points
proudgop (Diary) Friday, August 21st at 8:42PM EST (link)I said this is in another thread but here goes:
I personally find Obama’s condemnation of this release to be highly suspect.
1. You mean to tell me that President Obama nor anyone in State Dept ( Clinton) were not informed about this release prior to it happening?
2. If so when and how? If not can this be backed up by Scotland?
3. Answers in both areas are troubling. If he was why did he not put pressure Scotland into not doing this? I mean he is so loved by Europe! If not ( I don’t buy it for minute) then its a total failure on our State Department and leadership of Clinton
So many answers must be resolved and I hope the media starts asking them
we know Obama has soft spot for ANY Terrorists

So true.

There’s no hope at all for the smarmy leftists; they are a lost cause, No point even considering them. But it’s the ignorant crowd standing in the middle of the road makes me quite ill. Hearing massive numbers of them now coming out against Obama’s agenda is supposed to make me feel good, but in reality it just angers me.
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, has changed over at Camp Obama. He is now what he has always been. NOTHING he has done should have been a shock or surprise to anyone.
Next time, you “moderates” really need to pay attention. Open a book. Listen. Watch. Understand that American Idol is really NOT more important than knowing who and what you’re voting for. In other words, do your duty as citizens of this republic.

my wording and the frustration we all feel
JLenardDetroit (Diary) Saturday, August 22nd at 1:41PM EST (link)I have re-read what I wrote and while you may not have misread it I can see how others might…. To be clear, the comment wasn’t about just Hillary or Holder and their paying attention, but morons not able to look at them and know that all of that lot of Democrats are as bad, has always been pathetically only concerned about their own power and never solving anything, and always will be. There is NEVER any Democrat (How electing ANY Democrat empowers the antithesis of Conservativism, the Ultra-Far-Left Progressive/Socialist/Democrats) that people should allow themselves to think worthy of voting for (my point of what we must get through some peoples Politically Thick Skulls and those few that have briefly opened their eyes that we must teach/reach/etc) as they just empower the Ultra-Lefts in that Party.
As for Republicans, I really don’t care whether they “feel it” or not but that they “get it” enough to perform properly. It can be for their own best-interest, just as long as they get it is Conservative positions that gets them elected and what is right (yes, double play word pun) for the Country (as discussed in: Conservative Candidates (the Diary) and Republicans must be the Party of HELL NO [to Bigger Govt.] not the Party of SLOW[er Liberal Incremental-ism] ).
I have felt the frustration you’ve expressed my whole life and attempted to battle the liberal laziness running for office myself to push the Conservative message (you can see all that in my profile). While we are frustrated, and I know we are angry and don’t really want to hear this, but we aren’t going to further awaken the political brain-dead if we go at them in the wrong manner. If only those lazy morons that can’t/won’t involve themselves in bothering to pay attention enough to learn the truth on their own behalf would also NOT VOTE we’d be okay, but they do vote and we must continue to deliver the truth.
It is NOT as if any of this has been different for a Century. Liberalism has always looked to Incrementally inject their agenda at “fundamentally changing” America (as Obama, one honest thing, has said)…. The early 20th Century moved slower but got Progressively (yes, pun intended) got worse to the break-neck speed and uncaring how overt they are in the LIES they are willing to tell to have unwitting-dupes pulling the JackAss lever while not (honestly, in their minds) expecting to get more and more and more of that Radical agenda. IT IS SO DARN OBVIOUS these days (with so many, McCackle (MO) I call her and even the Clintons/Obama overtly lying and attempting to “speak semi-Conservative”) putting on an Act just to get elected. HOW CAN THESE FOLKS NOT SEE IT! Even paying zero attention, they show up alll over and their words never match their actions….
These/that, of course, are the things we must (try to politely to get through) teach them and bring them along to Political Adulthood from the Childishness of Liberal-think.
For those a little further along the curve and dealing with the acceptance of how they’ve been in denial for so long… we can help them to understand how they’d been duped by pointing them to The “Pretend you’re a Liberal MSM reporter (and Spin the story)” Challenge so they can come to grips with how it was/is they’ve been so BLIND with so many trying to keep them that way.
I am in an ultra-left District, and therefore as I’ve already said, felt this frustration my entire life. It has taken decades to bring some along to the Light and while it sucks it is partly our jobs to help them OR (if not) we just concede to the other side that we know employs the time, energy, tactics, etc (ACORN, the Union’s leaderships, etc) to bamboozle them. It has to be countered, and we cannot be as bad/lazy as Liberals and just expect others to do it. We have to be involved, in at least some ways to reach those (we know to be otherwise) complete idiots. We also have the trouble of BLUE-ism expanding out into Red areas that we must keep our own side properly motivated and engaged in in order to make sure Red Districts/States don’t slip.
I could go on and on (turning into a Diary itself), but folks either get it or don’t… and it is up to those of us that “get it” to “get through” somehow to those that don’t. Access to information/truth (best persuasive arguments) is easier than ever before with all the links here, and that was/is my overall point – we have to get it all in front of them and hopefully get them caring enough to be motivated to seek it for themselves.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.
RedBeard Saturday, August 22nd at 5:14PM EST (link)I agree we must try to reach and teach, but it certainly is a frustrating exercise.
The problem, of course, is that it’s very difficult to reach people who decide things based upon feelings rather than facts.
Throw all the facts out there, and they brush them aside without comment and counter with pablum like, “We simply have to do something for all those poor uninsured people.”
I’m not saying we should give up; just the opposite. But it won’t be easy to make the feelings crowd do any logical thinking.

JLenardDetroit (Diary) Saturday, August 22nd at 9:55PM EST (link)never fixing anything by lifting people up. Sad…. To those, in the specific example you mention, I alwyas respond “you’re right, we must make everyones Health Care equally horrible – Medicare for All — that’ll give you a whole new set of problems to be all emotional over” then laugh at them and walk away…. and (FYI) since that really did almost make Diary length, I made one from (expanded) from it: Dealing with our Frustration with the Politically Brain-dead.

The terrorist is a sick, twisted, evil man
Adjoran (Diary) Saturday, August 22nd at 3:34AM EST (link)It doesn’t matter whether the innocents he targets are Jews in a pizza parlor, children in a church basement, airline passengers, or patrons in a local restaurant. It doesn’t matter whether he murders out of pure hatred, religious hatred, racial hatred, political hatred, or just because he’s a sociopathic killer.
Clemency in the cases of such villains, of whose guilt there has never been any doubt and from whom no believable remorse has been expressed, is no manifestation of mercy, but a miscarriage of justice. We at least require “normal” murderers to feign repentance and remorse before parole is granted, and executive pardons were once reserved for the wrongly convicted or the truly and evidently rehabilitated, not for those whose only regret is being captured.
In both of these cases, evil has been released into the world, and this is always a cause for sorrow.
