COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY MATTHEW NORMAN IN THE
INDEPENDENT
"Donald Trump is
not a messiah, he’s a very naughty four-year-old boy – and that's how Hillary
should treat him"
Mr Norman exceeds his past journalistic achievements here, and
I think by a remarkable measure.
No one, absolutely no one, has ever referred to Mr Trump as
"a messiah."
Now, I'm sure Mr Norman, in his lucid moments, knows that,
but he just couldn't resist using a ridiculous word which sets up both a
straw-man argument and serves as a cheap put-down.
Ever hear of dealing with issues, Mr Norman?
And while we're speaking of issues (me) and naughtiness
(you), how about the horrible record of this grim woman?
She almost certainly is the most corrupt person ever to run
for the American presidency.
And she has spent her entire career supporting and promoting
bloodshed.
She even managed some it herself while Secretary of State,
and wasn't that a happy result at Benghazi?
Of course, what Benghazi was really about, and why she never
likes to speak of it, was a covert program to collect weapons and recruit scum
to be sent to Turkey for transshipment into Syria.
She botched that event, getting an ambassador murdered, but
she kept right on with the program of death and destruction.
Her purpose in Syria? To topple a legitimate and fairly
decent government in a peaceful country, in the process killing 300,000 people
so far and sending millions running for their lives as refugees, almost
de-stabilizing Europe.
That's quite an achievement, don't you think, Mr Norman?
And yours is quite a humane perspective: a few gaffs are
appalling, but a human bloodbath isn't even to be discussed.
