For the record, the club owner (a registered democrat) stands by the story.
The fact is, no one except the caller knows the validity of the threat.
I'm just glad I can finally sleep knowing it is 100% false now that the Clinton campaign said so. |
RBE, it's the common sense test. Why on earth would a campaign call a comedy club and complain, nay, threaten, over the same stale jokes that have been told about Clinton since the mid 1990s? The only thing that club needs to be threatened over is putting up comedy routines that smell like mothballs.
If anything, the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy should be kicking themselves for the 20 years of Clinton hate, because they've given Hillary two decades of practice at how to deflect the attacks. All the Benghazi stuff did was increase her campaign donations. She's got thick skin now, as evidenced by the tweet her campaign put out after the hearings:
I'm okay with her as a candidate. Not in love, as I'm a liberal and she's a Rockefeller Republican if ever I've seen one (the only reason anyone would mistake her for a progressive is because the GOP slate are so far gone with the radical right rhetoric they make Robert W. Welch, Jr. poke his head out of his grave to say, "Uh, guys, maybe you should tone it down a bit?"). But she'll do. She's been a Senator and a SoS and was trying to fix the healthcare system back in the early 1990s, before the rest of the nation knew how bad things were going to be. I give her props for seeing the problem then.
My big issue is that I don't like political dynasties, no matter what letter is after the person's name, D or R. But historically speaking, many of the first women to hold a political office were a spouse or widow of the man who held it before them, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised the highest office in the land might follow the same pattern. And America seems to like our political dynasties, so I think I'm in the minority there.
