Miller's hit parade

As has been established, Tom Miller of Oklahoma City hates Hillary Clinton. We know this, because he's a regular writer to the Oklahoman. Given how much the Oklahoman hates Clinton, this relationship is a match made in heaven, and it explains why today we yet another Miller letter complaining about-- yes-- Hillary Clinton.

The letter itself is a shitty example of writing:

In light of how President Obama constantly blames others for his failures and problems, I'd like to hear him behind closed doors. In the tradition of the old comedy duo of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, I can just hear Obama saying to or about his former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, “Well, here's another fine mess you've gotten me into,” ...

This sort of rhetorical writing has its place. But in a 250 word letter, it's clumsy and less effective than just making a more straightforward point.

In the end, he ends up doing this, putting out the tired right-wing list of non-scandals that somehow should be considered scandals:

Resetting our relations with Russia. It now appears that they've turned our relations into “Cool War” days. 

Handling of the Benghazi tragedy of Sept. 11, 2012, and the apparent attempted cover-up.

Clinton's complicity in the “Arab Spring” mess and the resulting gassing of hundreds of innocent women and children in Syria.

 We can already cross off the Benghazi non-scandal since it's been demonstrated that it is, well, a non-scandal. But what's this about Clinton ruining relations with Russia? The reality is-- of course-- far more complex than blaming one person, but if one person were to be blamed, it's hardly Clinton (and much more the former KGB agent who has done everything he can to stay in power in Russia...)

And how is an American Secretary of State "complicit" in a bunch of Middle East uprisings? Again, the "Arab Spring" is and was a very organic series of events that the US has and had very little control over. It's hard to imagine a more stupid assertion than that it's Hillary Clinton's fault that the Syrian government gassed its own citizens.

Would any real newspaper run this rubbish?

Mr Miller closes by saying

When will the mainstream media wake up and hold Obama and his administration accountable for their total incompetence and bungling of international affairs? His leading from behind, indecisiveness and always attempting to blame others will be Obama's legacy.

We need real “Hope and Change” in Washington, not “Another Fine Mess.”

What IS this? Tim Miller constructs a straw man wherein Obama blames Clinton for everything, and concludes by saying that he always blames others? It's completely stupid. Yet, this sort of drivel is exactly the sort of thing the right-wing plutocrats at the Oklahoman want to push on their hapless readers, and so hacks like Tom Miller continue to have their poorly-written, parroted propaganda letters published. It's truly an embarrassment to the state.
