Hillary Applying Rahm's Rule?

First, Hillary Clinton called Jared Loughner an 'extremist,' which necessarily implies that he had some sort of agenda, likely political. As more facts came out, it became obvious to anyone who wasn't an extremist themselves that Loughner was apolitical. ABC News even aired an interview with Loughner's high school friend who said the shooter wasn't political at all and didn't listen to talk radio - an accusation that had been levied by Sheriff Dupnik.

Instead of walking her statement back, Hillary doubled down, saying that Loughner had 'extreme political views.'

Via The Hill:

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday that the Arizona shooter who killed six and injured 14, including Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D), was motivated by political views.

In an interview with CNN Wednesday Clinton, who had recently referred to the shooter as an "extremist," doubled down on her comments saying that the shooter was an extremist who acted on his "bizarre" political views.

For the record, if Loughner was political, his views more clearly aligned with the left; What do you call revering communism, flag burning, and atheism? On that note, this video of Clinton leaving Yemen a day earlier is rather appropriate if you apply the metaphor that the airplane represents the means for Hillary to push an agenda and whatever she tripped on represents the truth. This will never get old. Oh, she wasn't hurt, which is why I have no compunction about posting it.



Let's not forget, too, that Hillary once cited Rahm's rule never to let a crisis go to waste when talking about the economy and climate change back in 2009.
