Hogwash

Talking Points Memo has an entertaining video counting the number of times Hillary Clinton was invoked, primarily as some sort of socialist bogeywoman who will raise your taxes, demolish your health care, and destroy all that is Good and Right in America. That dynamic deserves discussion, but Digby, News Hounds and others have already covered it well. I wanted to focus instead on a carefully crafted quip delivered as a quick crowd-pleaser that embodies a key element of "Big Con" hogwash.
