Elton John greets racists<\/p>\n

That great political philosopher, Elton John, has decided that only misogyny will keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House (AP\/Yahoo<\/a> link);<\/p>\n

British pop star Elton John, playing a fund-raiser for Hillary Clinton in New York on Wednesday, said he was amazed at the misogyny of some in America and he hoped that wouldn’t stop her being president.<\/p>\n

At the fund-raiser which Clinton’s campaign manager said raised $2.5 million, John said there was no one more qualified to lead the United States into the next era.<\/p>\n

“Having said that, I never cease to be amazed at the misogynistic attitude of some people in this country. And I say to hell with them,” he said, drawing cheers from the crowd at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan.<\/p>\n

“The reason I’m here tonight is to play music, but more importantly as someone who comes from abroad, and is in America quite a lot of the time (and) is extremely interested in the political process because it effects the whole world.”<\/p>\n

“I’ve always been a Hillary supporter,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As usual, foreigners always miss the point. American voters look for the best person for the job, without regard to superficial accidents of birth. A vote against Hillary is vote against back-stabbing, lying, cheating skulduggery.<\/p>\n

Of course we can’t expect the rest of the world to understand that – they just want the US candidate that’ll fly bags of money into their respective countries and apologize for things we’ve never done. Hillary seems most likely to do that for them.<\/p>\n

I guess we could say something about John’s support for Hillary being racist, but we won’t – oh, sorry, I just did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
