Hillary Clinton Still Blames 'hateful' Youtube Video For Benghazi Attack

How about we elect talented people and not worry about sexuality or color? Just talent to lead and create....

How about we just not "worry" about sexuality and color in the first place and stop pretending it can be erased?

 

[Skiddles2014]

It's comments and thinking like those in this thread that have prevented a Republican from entering the white house the past 2 elections.

Keep it up dummies, leave no doubt how dumb you really are!

 

[Liar]

How about we elect talented people and not worry about sexuality or color? Just talent to lead and create....

Agreed.

Now, given that the ratio of straight white men is significantly higher in elected office than in the general population, it stands to reason that one of two things are true:

1. Straight white men actually have, on average, more talent to lead and create...
2. or... we DO worry about sexuality and color... in favor of straight white men.

If you know of a #3 that I've overlooked, please elaborate.

She'll finish off the American economy if she's elected. Don't count on Bill's alleged moderation, she'll go with the Marxist beliefs she wrote about in college, those that attracted her to Barack Obama in the first place.

Hopefully.

Seeing you guys go full retard over Obama has been entertaining.

Having a woman as your leader will surely make for more butthurt.

You and a small minority care about that, most of us folks out here just want a vibrant economy, and a good place to live, a chance to get ahead and feed our families. You're wrapped up in all that, not us...

Ahahahahahaaa!

Did you type that with a straight face?

Two good points....With whites slowly becoming the minority in this country, you know, all one needs to do is register to vote.....power to the people, remember?

Go back to Canada you dope....

The odds of Vetteman ever seeing a white male conservative president in the remainder of his life grow slimmer each year.

Had good years under Clinton, so maybe Hillary will listen to him should she be elected.

Listen to Bill? You mean the guy who had to be drug kicking and screaming into signing the welfare reform bill on the third attempt...the guy who finally signed the Republican budget that reduced (slightly) the rate of increase in the budget. The Bill Clinton that benefited from the artificial economy of the dot-com bubble that later burst as such schemes always do? That Bill Cliinton?

Lets not add to the myth that Bill Clinton was anything more than the beneficiary of the push-back to Hilary's over-reach on healthcare, a Republican congress and another dutch-tulip craze.

Newt Gringrich held the purse strings.

Apparently she thought the video was, even with the benefit of hindsight, a good choice for a distraction. If only it had been sold better...

Hell even still to this day phrodeau, a likely Hilary voter, buys that it was related. She doesn't have to convince Republicans and right leaning independents....just the LWCJs. Whatever is left of Acorn should be able to steal the rest.

Her shocking, and revealing question, "What difference does it make?!??" Exposes both her very real frustration that the narrative didn't hold and what the over-arching theme was of her prep session for the hearing.

I can picture her being told repeatedly, "What you are trying to convey in this or that prepared response to anticipated questions is a general, mild frustration. Try to get across the point that a lot of time has past and what difference can it make at this point..."

So that mantra in her head...it popped out.

No way that line was prepped.

 

[RobDownSouth]

When Secretary Clinton exclaimed "What difference does it make?" she was simply articulating the frustration of the majority of Americans, who see Benghazi for what it was (an attack on an American mission) as opposed to what conservatives are trying to make Benghazi (a cheap political stunt to raise funds for conservatives and gin up mindless outrage among low information voters).

When Secretary Clinton exclaimed "What difference does it make?" she was simply articulating the frustration of the majority of Americans, who see Benghazi for what it was ~snip~

26% is not a "Majority." That is what is known as "her base."

Low information voters, indeed.

Greedily gulping propaganda is not the same thing as consuming information.

Telling, the information Hilary Supporters don't want.

Given her steady resolve, her ability to make "Tough Choices" when she gets that "3:00 a.m. Call".....

You would think they would want to know every word that she uttered that night, every resolute act she commanded....

The only "Tough Choice" she and Barack made together that night was what (other than their own policies) could they blame the motivation for the attack on?

After all, all the previous attacks were because of bad policies and the failure of previous administrations to "reach out" to the Muslim world and "dialog' with the 4th century societies.

 

[Dream59]

In other words, that's my lie and I'm sticking to it!
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Clinton defends the intelligence at the time preceding the attack on the American compound in Benghazi. An anti-Islamic video that had sparked a protest at an embassy in Cairo was proved in “later investigation and reporting,” including by The New York Times, to have been “indeed a factor” in what happened in Benghazi, Clinton writes.

That point is among those that has been debated during hearings into the attacks.

“There were scores of attackers that night, almost certainly with differing motives,” she writes. “It is inaccurate to state that every single one of them was influenced by this hateful video. It is equally inaccurate to state that none of them were. Both assertions defy not only the evidence but logic as well.”

What do you expect her to do? Admit her lie? She is a politician so it isn't going to happen.

Oh please, bitch.

Anything that steps out of the race/gender/sexuality lines you define for your agency and gets in the way of your privilege, you and yours are the first ones to get verklempt about it and start crying like you're being made to suffer, in EVERY way, shape and form.

There ain't enough Hefty three-plys in the world to fill up with the shit you've bitched, moaned and whined about in the last six years alone that has fuck all to do with "talent and creating."

 

[Skiddles2014]

Go back to Canada you dope....

Uh, u dum bro?

 

[IrezumiKiss]

More entertaining yet, are the dumbest people, the most ignorant of the weaklings to the North of us, using the results of their flawed family DNA to describe their betters.

Hey now.

Leave Sarah Palin's special needs child out of this, soljer.

 

[Que]

Hey now.

~laugh~ funny. Completely morally wrong but funny. Reasonable though, given what you were a responding to.

There IS a stupid gene, but in my experience it isn't nestled next to the one that controls melanin.

Stupid comes in all colors of the rainbow, and is gender non-determinate.

I remember some paper suggesting that the gene controlling IQ is likely located on the X chromosome as the mothers intelligence is statistically correlated with the mother's.

Some women were cheering about the announcement. I pointed out, "As a woman, you DO realize you have TWO X's? How smart was your Dad's Mother?"

One of the things I found interesting in that discussion is it doesn't exclude nurture OVER nature. Bright moms are more likely to read to their kids.

I've been here a while, and bitched a lot...true dat bro. But you're either moving forward or you're moving backwards in life, in other words, people arent able to just stand in place. Accept that fact mofo, that what I "bitched" about years ago, may mean nothing to me now....

And for others different from you, moving forward means confronting and dismantling the generations-deep structures that holds them back from moving forward. Even when the only thing it does to you is fuck with your heretofore privilege and convenience derived thereof. Because you never had to deal with their issues OR think about them.

Yeah, I'm really fucking sorry you now have to think about things other than yourself during the process of making things better for other people. But hey, you still have your freedom to bitch and whine about it. Instead of doing other things with your life to help yourself evolve.

Accept that fact, mofo.
