Earlier, clearly rattled by the Ohio defeat, Ms Power told The Scotsman
Mrs Clinton was stopping at nothing to try to seize the lead from her
candidate.
"We f***** up in Ohio," she admitted.
"In Ohio, they are obsessed and Hillary is going to town on it,
because she knows Ohio's the only place they can win."She is a monster, too
– that is off the record – she is stooping to anything," Ms Power said,
hastily trying to withdraw her remark.
Ms. Power said of the Clinton campaign: "Here, it looks like desperation. I
hope it looks like desperation there, too."You just look at her and think,
'Ergh'. But if you are poor and she is telling you some story about how Obama is
going to take your job away, maybe it will be more effective. The amount of
deceit she has put forward is really unattractive.
There will be many who find what Ms. Power said objectionable.
But let's examine her charge. Is Hillary Clinton a "monster"?
Is that word ever appropriate to describe anyone?
Let's see.
What word would you use to describe a person who agrees with the slander of a man as a drug dealer for no other reason than the man's race?
What would you call a woman who presides over a campaign that purposefully darkens the video of a black candidate?
What would call a woman who resorts to thinly vieled xenophobia to smear a candidate of Muslim heritage?
What would you call a woman who stupidly and repeatedly belittles her opponent who, rival or not, still is a member of her party, saying that she thinks less of him than a warmongerer?
Ms. Power was wrong. Hillary Clinton isn't a monster.
She's the kind of fearmongering race-baiting fool we would expect to see from the GOP and her continued lying will only hurt her and more importantly our party.
Ms. Power next time when you choose to speak about Hillary Clinton get it right.
Calling her a monster is being kind.
