It\u2019s by our old buddy Anne Kornblut at the Washington Post, who has been marveling at how brilliantly clever Hillary is at avoiding reporters so she doesn\u2019t have to take tough questions.<\/p>\n<p>The headline of this story: &#8216;Clinton Cites Lessons of Partisanship.\u2019 The story says that because she\u2019s been smeared with the best of them, she can unite America and build a centrist coalition because she\u2019s been smeared by the &#8212; no, no. No, no, no. That\u2019s the summation of what she says here. The political battles that she\u2019s been through make her uniquely equipped to bring the nation together and build a centrist governing coalition. There is nothing centrist about this woman other than her public persona. Even that, if you look at her policy proposals, there\u2019s nothing centrist about any of them. By the way, I hit the nail on the head, or very close to it, in telling you why Hillary pulled that $5,000-per-baby trick off the table. It does have to do with Social Security. Guess who\u2019s talking about perhaps privatizing a portion of Social Security? Mrs. Clinton. Yes. Yes. I kid you not. It\u2019s coming up in the Stack of Stuff here.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;In an interview aboard her campaign bus&#8230;\u2019 by the way, do you know she\u2019s got the Middle Class Express? She\u2019s got a bus tour going on out there in Iowa called the Middle Class Express. &#8216;In an interview aboard her campaign bus, Clinton (N.Y.) acknowledged that she has contributed to the divisive politics of the past decade but said she has learned from those experiences. She said that if she becomes president, she will attempt to assemble a broad, centrist coalition on such key issues as health care, energy independence and national security.\u2019 She says that Social Security\u2019s not in a crisis. &#8216;She was vague about how she would handle special interrogation methods.\u2019 Of course, she\u2019s vague about everything. On the one hand, she said she\u2019s all for the nuclear time bomb use of torture, just like with her entire flip-flop on her position on the war every day. Now, this quote from Mrs. Clinton &#8212; pardon me, folks, for making this about me. As you know, I very rarely talk about myself on this program. I do my best to keep this program focused on the issues. But I must admit when I read this next quote I actually considered whether or not Mrs. Clinton was talking about me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You can\u2019t just wake up and say, &#8216;Let\u2019s all just hold hands and be together.\u2019 You\u2019ve got to demonstrate that you\u2019re not going to be cowed or intimidated or deterred by it, and then you can reach out and bring people who are of good faith together.\u2019 You have to learn from the criticism. You can\u2019t just wish it would go away and you can\u2019t run away from it and you can\u2019t pretend that it doesn\u2019t exist. You have to learn from it and fight back, and when you do that, you\u2019re able to bring people together in a centrist coalition.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: By the way, a lot of people sending me e-mails, &#8216;Rush, what is Mrs. Clinton talking about when she talks about &#8216;centrist coalition\u2019?\u2019 You know, I\u2019m sorry for not explaining that. There are certain things that I just assume people know. So I thank you for the question. &#8216;Centrist coalition\u2019 for Mrs. Clinton means a coalition of Marxists, Leninists, Stalinists, and socialists, pure and simple. So when you hear her talk about a &#8216;centrist coalition,\u2019 think of it in those terms.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This headline, I can\u2019t believe that they can write this story with a straight face.
