Hillary Clinton's poisonous, divisive campaign for the Democratic Presidential Nomination coupled with her recent RFK assassination comments (and the inferences that can be drawn from these comments) have secured Hillary a place in the history books as a vile Machiavellian harpy.
In my opinion, Hillary is the quintessential modern day Lady Macbeth. A scheming viper with a dark soul. In these final days of her losing campaign, is Hillary acting out the scene (Act 1, Scene 5) in Macbeth where Lady Macbeth seeks the assistance of the spirits during her campaign to kill the king (?):
"Come, you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here
And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full
Of direst cruelty!
[...]
Come to my woman's breasts
And take my milk for gall, you murdering ministers,
Wherever in your sightless substances
You wait on nature's mischief. Come, thick night,
And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell,
That my keen knife see not the wound it makes,
Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark
To cry, 'Hold, hold!' "
(Shakespeare's Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 5)
I hope and pray that nothing happens to Senator Obama in his quest for the Presidency. Barack Obama is a once in a generation leader who has the unique opportunity to unite us and bring substantive, positive change to this often ugly World we live in.
Hillary Clinton's poisonous, divisive, scheming, often misanthropic rhetoric and persona would make things in the United States even worse than they are now if she were to become the President.
