Hillary's descent; Huffington Post Leninists

Normally, I don't go to over to the Huffington Post, but I was curious if the story of Hillary's recent, er, slip, had found any traction there. (Yes, I'm well behind the first shouts of the echo chamber, so I was playing catch up trying to get a feel how the Billary Dems were handling it.) Instead, I find the story of Hillary's popularity plummeting (actually, they link to an NBC page here.) Looks like the stink of Sinbad just won't wash out, even with premium Memory Hole being applied....

So, while I was there, I looked around the site. Classic Leninist slant. Rich "progressives" have as much hate for The Rabble as their buddies in Conservative Cuckoo Land. You don't have to go too far to find just how stupid the Average Joe is at the HP; they literally plaster it all over the front page of the site. Of course, they know the score, and if we only follow them, they'll lead us to that promised Liberal Heaven they seem to bleat on so much about. If that doesn't sound Leninist, I don't know what does.

What's that, you say? The HPs are dyed-in-the-wool freedom capitalists who wouldn't accept a Commie into their midst if their portfolios depended on it? Well, yes, you're right, but that doesn't mean they don't follow in the footsteps of Uncle Vladimir. Lenin was about power, not communism, and as the "vanguard", he knew better than everyone else around him just how things should be run, commie or not. And the HPs are filthy with self-appointed vanguards. In general, Leninism is like a weed in the US political arena; it's in all threads of intellectuals who spend their time justifying the State, right or left of the dial. In the case of the HPs, self-deluded and self-important "progressives" that they are, the strain runs particularly deep. I don't relish the idea of those keyboard leaders ever taking over--"meet the new boss, same as the old boss" indeed.

Besides, who really knows, maybe HPs have posters of Lenin hanging in their closets (taped over and on top of the Che and reefer leaf ones.) And, yes, that's deliberate Commie-bating; I'm feeling quite retro today.
