Creepy Conspiracy-Mongering Stalker Is Two Degrees Removed From GOP Presidential Front-Runner

A wingnut activist named Robert Morrow trolled Chelsea Clinton’s book signing in Austin, Texas Friday. Imagine being approached with these sordid personal attacks in public, and you begin to understand why she and her mother don't often favor being spontaneous or unguarded:
“Has your mother ever told you that you’re the daughter of Webb Hubbell, and not Bill Clinton,” he said while Chelsea was looking down, signing a copy of “It’s Your World: Get Informed, Get Inspired & Get Going.”

The question was in reference to a long-time rumor alleging Chelsea was the result of an affair between the Clinton lawyer and Hillary.

Looking up, smiling, Chelsea responded, “I am so proud to be my parents’ daughter,” without actually naming her parents....

Referring to Clinton’s book being geared towards kids, Morrow asked, “Would you say Bill Clinton also targets teenage girls, except for sexual reasons?”

“I would say my book is really resonating with kids,” Clinton responded. “I was at the Ann Richards School earlier today and I’m so grateful that it’s resonating to the young girls and the young boys that I’ve been talking to across the country.

I felt sorry for Bristol Palin when I learned she was pregnant after she had first stood before cameras looking like a deer in the headlights. Would you understand that? A whole lot of conservatives, especially social conservatives, do not.

Of being outraged when Chelsea Clinton is treated in this fashion while ignoring (at best) or participating in (at worst) similar behavior towards the Palin offspring, in particular Bristol.

It seems to me that an objective response might be to point out the ways in which they are not similar, and there ARE differences in the two situations. Furthermore it would be proper to acknowledge that Bristol often is on the receiving end of commentary that would make most of us blanch if it were our daughter. One might argue that Bristol invites a good deal of the criticism she receives through various actions on her part, such as putting forth her opinions on matters such as birth control and sex for profit.

However I don't think misrepresenting the posters point in order to paint them as some sort of Palin fanbois is particularly effective, nor is it intellectually honest.

Jussayin.

As for the Palin's, they haven't had one one-hundredth the amount of stalking and conspiracy and outright lunacy aimed at them as have the Clinton's. So your comparison is not relevant, nor is it valid.

Not the same at all. And Democrats don't stalk Bristol asking her insulting questions about her parents. That is troll-like and unacceptable.

Yes, I "suppose" Chelsea could have done the more respectable thing like Bristol, like being an Abstinence only spokesperson, while having two children without the benefit of marriage - so much more "respectable" than being married, then having a child. Yessirree, that Bristol Palin is a perfect spokesperson to make shitloads of money for abstinence only. After all, it works so well for her!

From the link in the OP:

But {Robert} Morrow is more than just "a wingnut activist." He's the co-author of a book titled The Clintons' War on Women. You may know the lead author: His name is Roger Stone.

Stone, we're told, either quit the Donald Trump campaign or was fired in August. He had been a top Trump adviser. Nevertheless, he seems to be making quite a few media appearances on Trump's behalf.

Morrow, Stone's co-author, wasn't acting out of character when he approached Chelsea Clinton at that book signing. As Eric Hanaoki of Media Matters noted last month in a post, making wild, baseless, and tasteless accusations against the Clintons (and some other politicians) is pretty much a full-time job for Morrow.

I wanted readers to see my first concern was for Chelsea's safety.

Trump's team has all sorts of connections to the seamy undersides of low lying snakes and such. For instance, Roy Cohn, Joe McCarthy's right hand man and a famous right wing nutjob in his own right, showed Donald the ropes.

The guy did his part to make the GOP into a preserve for idiots, greedheads and warmongers.

Is Hillary having an affair with some dude or is she a secret lesbian?

Chelsea handled herself very well during this encounter--I would have probably stabbed him with the Sharpie.

key word: stone is a FORMER trump staffer. and just because morrow wrote a book with him doesn't mean they're BFFs.

that said, Morrow sounds like a major skeeze and repugnant excuse for a human being. Then again, he is a Republican.
