View Full Version : Hilary tells CNN she has never lied to the public
Jim in CT 02-19-2016, 06:56 AM Something about coming under sniper attack, despite video that makes that laughably false. If she claims that was not a lie, that necessarily means she still believes it to be true. Which necessarily means that she is deranged and delusional.

Jim in CT 02-19-2016, 09:04 AM I'm impressed that a reporter, other than one at Foxnews, would have the professionalism to ask her that. She musy have wanted to kill that guy.

What do you think about independent Polifact rating ALL of the Repub. Candidates as being less truthful than ALL of the Dem. candidates?

"Didn’t she apologize for saying that?"
I don't know. What I do know, is that she just went on TV this week, looked a reporter in th eye, and claimed that she has never lied.
"What do you think about independent Polifact rating ALL of the Repub. Candidates as being less truthful than ALL of the Dem. candidates"
Based on what? How do you measure that, exactly? If Rubio lies (or is wrong) about the exact date that his parents fled Cuba for the US, is that as pertinent as Hilary claiming that the GOP framed Bill to make it looked like he cheated on her with Monica, or that she came under sniper attack? And what's with her barking like a dog?
For the record, I can say out loud that I am not all that thrilled or impressed with much of the GOP field. Trump is a vulgar jerk. Cruz gets caught in a lie every day now, attacking the other Republicans. Rubio is showing (as Obama has repeatedly done) what happens when you support an inexperienced neophyte just because you like what's on the surface (more important to be cool and hip than to have depth).
I can't answer your question any more directly, can I? Now, what do you think of Hilary going on TV this week, and claiming that she has never told a lie? Obviously, she isn't all that sorry about the whoppers she has told (I was broke when I left the White House, blah blah blah).
Jim in CT 02-19-2016, 11:36 AM Good one - got my laugh for the day.:hf1:
Again, brush it off, what not one syllable as to why my premise (all TV stations minus one are in the bag for the Democrats) is wrong.
After one debate, a moderator (the tough and objective Rachael Maddow) HUGGED the Democratic candidates. She hugged them. Read that again, and tell me I'm wrong. How is that any different than letting Sean Hannity moderate a debate?
Meanwhile, the GOP frontrunner, is complaining about the way he gets treated by Fox, ask Trump if he thinks they are too easy on him, or if he felt like a hug was inevitable after the Fox debate. Are there right-leaning hists at Fox? Of course. Is the bias as glaring or consistent as it is at CNN or MSNBC? Not in primetime. O-Reilly and Kelly are routinely tough on conservatives, and routinely tell liberals that they have a good point. Hannity is the right-wing equivalent of Rachael Maddow. That's why he's on at 10:00.
PaulS 02-19-2016, 11:37 AM Independent and Politifact should not be used in the same sentence.
Then what independent org. do you want to use?

Most newspapers and tv stations are based in the large cities and the large cities are liberal. But to claim that only Fox news is professional is a freakin joke.
I don't care if you are thrilled or not with the Repub. candidates. Just search for Polifact and read up on the lies. Did Carson really get accepted to WP? Did Trump really see people jumping from the WTC?

"Most newspapers and tv stations are based in the large cities and the large cities are liberal"
Those things are true. That doesn't mean it's an excuse for crappy journalism.
"But to claim that only Fox news is professional is a freakin joke. "
I think i said that I was surprised that anyone not at Fox, would ask her such a tough question. And I can support my suspicion thusly...of all the interviews she has done, how many times has she been asked about that sniper attack? How many times has she been asked why anyone in their right mind would believe that Bill didn't cheat on her, but was framed by the GOP? How many times has she been asked about all the crap that her/Bill pillaged on their way out of the White House? How many times has she been challenged on her idiotic notion that being anti-abortion is waging "war on women"? How many times has she been asked, why is it remotely democratic that Bernie clobbered her in NH, yet fell further behind because of the superdelegates she controls?
Fox (at least some at Fox, certainly not all) are willing to challenge Republicans by asking those types of hard-hitting questions.
"Did Carson really get accepted to WP?"
oh good lord. People objected to his use of the word "scholarship", which it turns out was on posters at the time. We have seen the posters with the word "scholarship". Has politifact confirmed that he was not offered admission by anyone? How would they go about confirming that, have they checked with everyone Carson has ever spoken to?
"Did Trump really see people jumping from the WTC?"
Here's the difference between us. I can say that because of the things he says, and the way he says them, that Trump isn't nearly qualified for the job. If he wins the nomination, I won't vote for him. I can say that, even though he's a Republican. You and Spence would never be able to say that about Clinton. She barked like a dog for Christs's sake, what was that? Is that any less pathetic, than what Trump does? Barking like a dog, and getting hugs from debate moderators? That's serious campaigning for the job of POTUS?
What does your beloved Politifact say about Hilary's claim that my side is waging "war on women"? She says that every single day, and unless it counts all those as lies (and I bet it doesn't!), let's just say I question the results of their "math".
I have to go now, I have to go slap my wife around, pipe-bomb the local planned parenthood, make a large donation to the Klan, clean my assault rifle, cheat on my tax return, poison some water in Michigan, fondle some altar boys, and watch Hee-Haw re-runs. According to Obama and Hilary, that's all we do.
Meanwhile, all the young college grads in CT are fleeing to liberal utopias like Florida, North Carolina, Texas, and Georgia.

How about the lie that republicans are attacking women's health? She says that in every stump speech, I have heard her say that on 50 different occasions. Every single time, it's a lie.
She says that the GOP ony cares about the rich and the white. How is that? Oh, and they were broke when they left trhe White House
The ones you cited are the big ones, ones that ought to spell the end of any political career.
Her and Bill also stole everything out of the White Hous ethat wasn't nailed down, on their way out. They had to write a fat check to the National Park Service for the price of their loot. Neat trick for 2 people who were broke.
She's also undermining the entire concept of democracy, to take the nomination from your candidate via super-delegates..

From the September 18, 2001, edition of Today:
KATIE COURIC (co-host): Since being elected to office, New York's junior senator, Hillary Rodham Clinton, managed to keep a relatively low profile until terror struck in lower Manhattan. At that moment, she was not just a senator, but a concerned parent. She recently sat down with "Dateline NBC's" Jane Pauley to talk about that morning.
PAULEY: Tuesday morning, Senator Hillary Clinton's first thought when the second plane hit was terrorists. Her next thought was Chelsea, who was not only in New York, but staying downtown.
CLINTON: She'd gone, what she thought would be just a great jog. She was going to go down to Battery Park, she was going to go around the towers. She went to get a cup of coffee and -- and that's when the plane hit.
PAULEY: She was close enough to hear the rumble.
CLINTON: She did hear it.
PAULEY: And to see the smoke in person, not on television.
CLINTON: No. Of course, Bill was in Australia. And, you know, he was so upset by what he was seeing on television that I didn't want to tell him that I couldn't find her until I found her. I told him that, you know, everything's fine, don't worry. But I couldn't do it with the level of assurance that I needed until I could find her a couple of hours later
Chelsea Clinton wrote in Talk magazine:
"When the World Trade Center collapsed on Sept. 11, I was 12 blocks away, (and) nothing has been the same since," Clinton wrote in the December/January issue of Talk magazine, on sale Friday in New York.
[...]
Clinton had been staying with her high school friend Nicole Davison in her apartment near Union Square for a few days in September before she went to England to study at Oxford. After they had coffee together, Davison went to work and Clinton returned to the apartment.
Davison called Clinton with the news of the first plane that crashed into the World Trade Center. Clinton turned on the television and watched the second plane crash into the second WTC tower, and tried to reach her mother in Washington, but after speaking to her assistant, the phone line went dead.
[...]
Panicked, Chelsea Clinton left the apartment and found herself running toward downtown "in the direction everyone else was coming from," in search of a public telephone. She was desperate to call her mother and her father, who was on a speaking tour in Australia.
Chelsea Clinton was downtown in line at a pay phone when she heard the rumble of the second tower collapsing. Later she found Davison and another friend, and the three spent the day walking uptown. Chelsea Clinton wrote that she had an "irrational medley of thoughts" running through her head.

Seriously?
No Seriously?
Reeeeally, Seriously?
So let's get your own story straight.
1) Chelsea corroborates she was living and in the area during the attack
2) They both said she went out for coffee just before the attack
3) Hillary never said she was actually running around the WTC but rather said "She was going to go"
4) Chelsea is well known for being an avid runner...
Both of these injuries come from running—it turns out she’s a New Yorker to the bone, literally. “I think I have run on every street in Manhattan,” she says. “Running is my prophylactic stress relief for the day. Or the segue so that I can go home and be with my husband in a kind of clearheaded way.” She runs early in the morning, sometimes at night, always alone. “Running is the one part of my life in which I fundamentally feel like the observer instead of the observed.”

Yes or No....was Chelsea jogging around NY city when the planes hit? Hillary said she was....Chelsea said she wasn't. That's a lie....this was a week after 9/11....so by then Hillary should have known the truth about her daughter's whereabouts....but that certainly wouldn't have garnered as much sympathy if the public knew she was actually just at home watching Oprah hand out a bunch of blenders.

Hillary Clinton: I was 'instrumental' in Northern Ireland peace process
Hillary Clinton, accused last week by a Nobel Peace Prize winner of exaggerating her claims of having "helped" bring peace to Northern Ireland, has raised the stakes by stating she was "instrumental" in doing so.
The former First Lady laughed and dismissed criticisms she had inflated her foreign policy experience in Northern Ireland and Bosnia as "nitpicking" on Thursday.
When asked by National Public Radio whether she had been in the "centre of the room" during Northern Ireland peace talks, she said: "What I was was part of a team and that team included obviously the principal negotiators under the direct authority of my husband.
"I wasn't sitting at the negotiating table but the role I played was instrumental. I guess it was in December when Ian Paisley [Democratic Unionist Party leader] and Martin McGuinness [Sinn Fein leader] came to the United States.
"I think they met with the leadership of Congress, with the President and with me and they thanked me publicly for the role I had played."
But Mrs Clinton's version of events has been challenged by Peter King, an Ulster Unionist Party negotiator at the Good Friday talks in 1998, who said: "Hillary Clinton was totally invisible at the actual negotiations.
"As far as I am concerned, Mrs Clinton was as relevant to peace in Northern Ireland as Tony Blair's wife or the ex-wife of Bertie Ahern [the Irish prime minister]."
Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey, who shared the Nobel Peace Prize with John Hume of the nationalist Social Democratic and Labour Party in 1998, told The Daily Telegraph last week that Mrs Clinton's claims were a "wee bit silly".
This month, Terry McAuliffe, Mrs Clinton's campaign chairman, told CNN: "We would not have peace today had it not for Hillary's hard work in Northern Ireland."
Both Unionist and Nationalist negotiators told this newspaper that while Mrs Clinton's work with women's groups was positive her overall role was peripheral and she played no part in the gruelling negotiations that took years.
Mr Paisley boycotted the talks that led to the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland, though he has since become the province's First Minister.
Greg Craig, a foreign policy adviser to Barack Obama who served in President Bill Clinton's administration at the time of the talks, said the "inflated" claim called into question Mrs Clinton's judgement.
"Did the Irish have anything to do with this?...I'm not aware she solved any of the many, many thorny problems that had to be resolved, whether it was disarmament or whatever."
He cited accounts of the Northern Ireland talks by George Mitchell, who chaired them, and Madeleine Albright, then US Secretary of State, that hardly featured Mrs Clinton.
"If you look at the books that deal with the American side she doesn't figure in any significant way, certainly not instrumental."
That's a good one.
She also said she would release all of her paid speech transcripts that she gave to Wall Street banks... Lol.

spence 02-23-2016, 09:13 AM Yes or No....was Chelsea jogging around NY city when the planes hit? Hillary said she was....Chelsea said she wasn't. That's a lie....this was a week after 9/11....so by then Hillary should have known the truth about her daughter's whereabouts....but that certainly wouldn't have garnered as much sympathy if the public knew she was actually just at home watching Oprah hand out a bunch of blenders.
That's really insulting to those in NYC. You're starting to lose your cool.
Perhaps you should just redefine what a lie means for Hillary, redefine the standard. For instance if I tell someone I'm going to the bank and then get gas, yet what I *really* do is get gas and then go to the bank...I've pulled a Hillary and should endure national scorn, a light stoning and a few lawsuits.

Jim in CT 02-23-2016, 09:37 AM Spence, it would be a lot easier to take you seriously on this topic, if you would chime in on the sniper thing - just a couple of sentences. Why is that too much to ask? There have been times on this forum where you have had me against the ropes, and I happily admitted it. I promise you, your head won't explode if you admit she flat-out lied.
Then, she tells CNN that she has never lied.
I don't think she even knows when she's lying and when she's not. She is in George Costanza territory.

No, it shows there are multiple perspectives. If Clinton thought she was an important part of the process, and others thought so as well, that doesn't mean she's lying...
Had she made the claim and perhaps not been there at all, that would be a lie.

So in the case of the " sniper attack", she was there and she thought she was under fire , even though she was receiving flowers from a little girl, it doesn't mean she was lying .
It just means she is insane or maybe has the early stages of Alzheimer's . Either way she is not fit to be President.

ecduzitgood 02-23-2016, 11:06 AM From the September 18, 2001, edition of Today:
CLINTON: No. Of course, Bill was in Australia. And, you know, he was so upset by what he was seeing on television that I didn't want to tell him that I couldn't find her until I found her. I told him that, you know, everything's fine, don't worry. But I couldn't do it with the level of assurance that I needed until I could find her a couple of hours later
Hey Spence is this Hillary lying to Bill?

According to George Mitchell....she was basically a Trophy Wife (in the words of Frank Barone "What Contest in Hell did I win)
So if Hillary believes it, it must be true.
She said she was Instrumental.....she was not.
She hung out with the other wives....probably chatting the night away about shoes and their husbands infidelities :hee:

Thank you. Either she is lying, or she's crazy. There isn't a third option, unless she never claimed to have come under sniper attack, but rather, the vast right wing conspiracy framed her, to make it look like she said there was a sniper. The same geniuses who framed Bill to make it look like he was cheating on her, also set her up with the sniper thing.
If the GOP nominee doesn't play ads 24/7 that show her making that claim, then showing the video of what actually happened, and then showing her telling CNN this weekend that she has never lied...then we don't deserve to win. They should use that to club her like a baby seal.

No it means she was warned before landing of the danger of sniper fire and told they'd likely have to run in and just recalled the situation poorly. Doesn't mean it was intended as deception. You just assume it's a lie because you think everything -- including items which are clearly not lies -- are still lies. That may say more about you than it does her.
I do hope you hold all candidates to the same impossible standard to which you hold Clinton.

I don't want to "tear her down", I just want her out of public service, I thiink her policies are counterproductive. The reason she's still around, is because (like the Kennedys), the Clintons are somehow able to get people like you to put aside any critical thought, and refuse to hold them accountable for anything they do.
"Trump is all hat and no cattle "
He's a billionaire. He's got some cattle somewhere. You want to see what "all hat and no cattle" looks like, look at the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
"under-appreciating her resilience and skills would be a big mistake. Trump can't respond to Hillary giving an insightful response on foreign policy"
The hell he can't! He sure as hell can say "look what Iraq looked like when you were sworn in as Secstate, and look at what it looks like now. And if you want to talk foreign policy, let's talk about that trip where you say you came under sniper attack."
What's her response to that? Is she going to blame Bush for the invasion, even though she staunchly supported it? Why not, you won't question her when she does it.
I have very little use for Trump. One thing he will do, is beat her up when she's slinging BS. For example, when she started patting herself on the back for being a feminist, Trump immediately (and correctly) claimed that no one who enables her husband's behavior, no one who attacks the character of her husband's victims, has any business calling herself a feminist. We need someone who isn't afraid to throw an elbow when she is begging for it. Neither McCain nor Romney would do it to Obama.
In the end, if it's Trump v Hilary, she will win at least 48 states. But he will call her out when she is spouting BS.

Spence will say that wasn't her fault either, she honestly thought she was entitled to the dinner china, art, carpets, copper wiring, light fixtures, ashtrays, and toilets, that they took with them.
Trump and Hilary are both jerks who will say anything to appease the voter base that they are currently whoring themselves out to.
He hasn't already demonstrated that he'd be a disaster in a high-level federal position. She has shown that. That's one difference.

The Clintons did, you know that, and your defense was that she honestly thougt she was entitled to pillage the White House on their way out of town. Somehow, despite being "broke" at the time, they wrote a huge check to the National Park Service to pay for the stuff they pillaged.
They sacked the White House like Cossacks on their way out of town. At least we no longer needed a penicillan dispensory in the Oval Office once he left. Or was it really a vast right-wing conspiracy, that rumor that he had a slight problem with fidelity. Certainly you deny that Hilary was lying when she said that...

Hillary's point was that her role at times required compromising her own safety.
Nice manipulation of my words.
spence 02-25-2016, 07:50 AM Everything that wasn't nailed down, went in their moving van. Come on Dangles, she was "broke" at the time, they needed the loot!!
Spence will say that wasn't her fault either, she honestly thought she was entitled to the dinner china, art, carpets, copper wiring, light fixtures, ashtrays, and toilets, that they took with them.

spence 02-25-2016, 07:51 AM I am as flawed as anyone. The difference is, unlike her, I admit it, I don't claim to be perfect on CNN when I know I'm not. But I don't lie more than her. How many times has she made reference to the phony war on women? A dishonest statement, clearly intended to deceive the sheep, in order to make them afraid of Republicans.
And Clinton acknowledged and apologized for her misstatement.
"War on Women" is an expression Jim.
spence 02-25-2016, 07:52 AM Last night in SC Hillary got to blame "Whitey" for all the blacks problems....just friggin awesome....
Got to throw out all the buzz words, Systematic racism and White Privilege.....real prize she is.

"Hillary's point was that her role at times required compromising her own safety."
I'm not sure ow you conclude that's what her point was, because that's not remotely what she said. Brian Williams got suspended for telling a very similar lie. If that lie precludes you from reading the news off a teleprompter (which a monkey could do), one could make a compelling case that it similarly precludes you from having the moral compass to be POTUS.
Spence, you are bending over backwards to tell us why her questionable actions shoul dnot matter, and we shoud only focus on the good. With Trump, you are saying he's not a good businessman, because some of his many ventures have failed.
Do you really not appreciate the double-standard you apply to evaluating these two people.
They are both dishonest jerks. You, like most Americans, are willing to accept moral lapses from your candidate, as long as they agree with you on the issues that matter to you. I thought Bill Clinton was a scumbag, but a pretty good President.

"War on women" is an expression. So is "attacking women's health", she likes that one, too. Yes, they are expressions. They are also lies, intended to deceive the bleeting sheep.
"And Clinton acknowledged and apologized for her misstatement"
She did NOT acknowledge it, because she just told CNN last week, that she doesn't think she has ever lied to the public.
Even if she did apologize, that doesn't mean we forget. I believe Anthone Weiner apologized, does that mean you'd vote for him wihtout hesitation? They all apologize, always after they get caught.

That was funny, but she is potentially in harm's way. On this visot in question, there were American soldiers in the woods, making sure there was no sniper. That's how it came out thayt she was lying. After she misspoke lied about being shot at, the commanding officer of the men who put themselves at risk to make sure she was safe, went on TV and stated that she was lying, that he was there, and that there was no sniper. She stuck to her misstatement lie, until the video came out.

What did TDF say that was racist, exactly?
Again, your incredible double-standard. He uses the phrase 'trophy wife', and you criticize him for being sexist (as if ANYONE would seriously describe her that way). Yet Hilary says that pro-lifers are attacking women's health,m and you brush that off as "just an expression". Hilary will always blame whitey, preferably if said whitey wworks on Wall Street and wears a Brooks Brothers suit. Never mind that Chelsea's husband is a hedge fund manager, THAT Hilary is OK with, for reasons as yet unexplained.
Obama says that everyone on my side are a bunch of racist, bitter clingers, and you have no problem with that. TDF says that Hilary was a trophy wife at a conference, and you make him out to be Archie Bunker.
You go ahead and defend that double standard, please.

Did you see her comment talking about white privilege? She wasn't blaming whitey, she was just stating the obvious that blacks and whites are treated differently and we shouldn't ignore this.

Correct, at the time, Bill's explanation was that she was tired. No sane person believes that, but let's pretend that's true. Fine. If, when she's tired, she's unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality, that's a problem if you want to be POTUS. What if she imagines that Putin took a shot at her?
We traded Daniel Patrrick Moynihan for her. God Almighty, she shows up in NY with a Yankees cap on, and says "good news! I'm your new senator!"

“Tackling and ending systemic racism requires contributions from all of us. White Americans, we need to do a better job of listening when African Americans talk about the seen and unseen barriers they face every day,” Mrs. Clinton said. “We need to recognize our privilege and practice humility rather than assume our experiences are everyone’s experiences.”

Did you see her comment talking about white privilege? She wasn't blaming whitey, she was just stating the obvious that blacks and whites are treated differently and we shouldn't ignore this.
"They are"
No, they aren't. Because abortion has always been legal, when the "health" of the mother was in jeopardy. Roe V Wade didn't change that. We are, for the most part, talking baout elective abortions, where the woman's health is not in jeopardy. Your statement is demonstrably false.
"she was just stating the obvious that blacks and whites are treated differently"
Not by most people, they aren't.
Did she talk about black men abandoning their children? That's the catalyst for all the problems, and democrats are very reluctant to say it out loud. Because as usual with you people, this has absolutely nothing to do with actually solving problems, and everything to do with getting votes, which liberals do by telling blacks that notihng i stheir fault, it's all because the system is rigged against them. Bullsh*t. Blacks who have 2 loving parents at home, do well. And whites from poor, fractured families will struggle. It's not about race, it's about socioeconomics. But that doesn't get you votes, so no one on yoru side will say that out loud.
It's not about white priviledge. It's about the priviledge that some kids are born lucky enough to have at the start, the priviledge of having loving parents, and some financial stability. It has zero to do with race.
How can you be unaware of how completely wrong you, and she, are on this? White pepole in the suburbs are somehow responsible for what's happening in Chicago? But not the political party that has run that city for 50 years? And not the people who keep having kids and then not raising them?

Pure liberal horesh*t.
"we need to do a better job of listening when African Americans talk "
Oh, that's rich. Back during the 2008 primaries, blacks spoke out and said they wanted Barack Obama to be President. Did she "listen" to them, as she is demanding that we all do, and step aside and say "OK, if that's what you want, then in recognition of my priviledge, I will practice humility and get out of his way"? Or did she spend tens of millions of dollars to fight him, right up until the convention? What did she do to "listen"? When a black man was between her and what she wanted for herself, did she step aside? Not as I recall!
It's ALWAYS do as I say, not as I do.

Spence, answer me this.
Hilary says we nee dto do a better job of listening when blacks speak, and of showing humility, and of admitting our priviledge.
How is that consistent with what she did during the 2008 primary season...back then, the blacks said they wanted Obama to be President. Did she show humility, listen, admit her priviledge, and step aside to get out of Obama's way? Or did she spend tens of millions of dollars fighting him, right up until the convention, using everything at her disposal to take the nomination from him?
Clearly, she feels no obligation to make any personal sacrifices as reparations for her white priviledge? So where does she get the moral authourity to ask everyine else to do that which she clearly had no intention of doing?
Have fun with that!

(1) In a nation of 300 million, the observed sample of two people, means exactly zilch.
(2) that being said, yes it happens in law enforcement. Does that contribute to black poverty or unemployment? No. It efefcts quality of life, not economic disparities.
(3) and there was that black "knockout game" last year, where youngblacks would sucker-punch innocent white people. Racism, sadly, exists. In a diverse nation of 300 million people, it always will. And it goes in both directions.
As I said (and you conveniently ignored), if a black kid is born into a stable, loving, well-to-do family, he will likely do well. If a white kid is born to a single mom who is a drug addict, that kid will struggle. So race isn't the determining factor. The determining factor, is the dynamic o fthe family that you are born into. Do you deny that? If so, I'd just love to hear why.
It gets tiresome.

Yes, it doesn't exist. From my perspective the black guy is lying. And as far as it "never" happens to you, your not dead yet. And, I am white (at least that's my perspective), and it has happened to me. Though not all the time. I would still be stuck somewhere getting a ticket if it happened all the time.
Jim in CT 02-25-2016, 02:11 PM I didn't have anything even close to privilege growing up.
I had no financial priviledge. I had a different kind of priviledge, one that no white person is depriving any bkack oerson of. What I had, was two (dirt poor) parents who loved each other, loved their kids to death, worked hard, and broke their backs to keep us all on the path to productivity. No TV during dinner, everyone at the table talking to each other. Strict rules on completing homework. Encouragement for putting forth our best effort. Church every single Sunday wihtout exception.
That was my priviledge, and mankind knows no better blueprint for upward economic mobility. But those values that serve as the foundation for upward economic mobility, are exactly the values that are mocked and rejected by liberals like Hilary. My parents took absolutely nohting from any African American, so as TDF said, Hilary can keep her white guilt to herself. But she won't keep it to herself, because the more she talks about it, the more votes she gets.
Jim, it is a slippery slope for you to say you have never had white privlidge on your side, just as much as it is for a person of color to tell you that you have. Unless you have lived as a minority, you will never know what life can be like when you are constantly oppressed by racists. So I would shut your pie hole about saying you had to claw your way to get to where you are today... A black man would have to claw his way a lot harder.

Maybe I would have been pulle dover a few more times if I was black. So maybe that's white privildege. But ta the same time, if I was black, I woul dhave gotten a free ride (and a monthly stipend) to go to UCONN, instead of taking out loans. It works both ways.
If my family was black instead of white, and everything else was the same, there is no earthly reason to believe my life would be less fulfilling to me, or that it would have been harder.
"you will never know what life can be like when you are constantly oppressed by racists"
Who is being 'constantly oppressed by racists'? This isn't the 1950s. I reject that widespread, institutional racism exists.
"So I would shut your pie hole about saying you had to claw your way to get to where you are today"
And I would tell you to shut your pie hole about telling me to shut my pie hole. If I was black, I would've gone to UCONN for free, that is a fact based on the grades I had in high school - we joked about it at the time. Please tell me how, specifically, my life would have been harder if I was black. I can't wait to hear this...maybe i would have been pulled over more by the police. Maybe not.

DING DING DING, we have a winner again!!
Every Sunday, I fill up my truck with gas at the local Shell, and stop in to get the paper. The family that owns the station, is from the African nation of Liberia, one of the last places on the planet you'd want to be born. Every singlke time I go in there, the husband and wife are working, all smiles. Their two kids are either studying or working. They even manage to pull their pants uo high enough so I don't have to see their underwear. They cam here with nohting, worked at the store, git some kind o ffederal loan to help them by the store. They work 7 days a week. And their kids both go to college for free.
I have spoken to this man countless times. He always asks me why anyone would claim this is an overtly racist nation, sinc ethis is the only nation on th eplanet where he could come with nothing, own a business, and give his kids a world-class education.
He has said to me, many times, that if you are black, it's better NOT to have been born here, but rather to immigrate. And not because of white people. But because of the culture embraced by too many American blacks.
His story is not unique. Every town in every state, has a similar family. And we have a black President. And still, we have Hilary asking "when will we overcome?"

I want to be a "life coach" someday. Every person who comes to see me, will get the same answer..."if you want to know what the problem is, look in the mirror. If you want to know what the solution is, look in the Bible. That will be $250, cash or card, tell your friends. Next!"
As my Dad always says, "the only place where success comes before work, is in the dictionary." That notion applies, regardless of race.
You have there, a 4-point plan, 14 words in all, that are a blueprint for a self-sufficient life. And it works equally well across ethnicities. The problem is that the black culture, is being incentivized by liberal policies, to embrace a different philosophy. And if you look atthe evidence staring us in the face (what has happened in our cities for 50 years), it could not be more clear that the liberal approach has been a disaster. Yet every November, they regurgitate the same failing and short-sighted promises.
I wonder if it's intentional (do liberals secretly desire to keep placks down), or are they really too stupid to admit that their policies just don't work. Just how much damage does liberal ideology have to do to these people, before liberals conclude that it's bad policy?
Until the day I die, I will wonder if it's intentional on their part, because no one can be that clueles and aloof.

The Dad Fisherman 02-25-2016, 03:53 PM What do the charts say about the disproportionate amount of blacks/Whites who are incarcerated because they didn't break the law. and stayed out of trouble

"Wait, you're telling me that the War on Drugs has had a disproportionate impact by race????"
And the war waged on us by drug dealers, has also disproportionately impacted the black community, has it not? Go tell the people who live in Chicago, that the enemy in the war on drugs, are the white cops.
"disproportionate ratio of drug use to incarceration"
That needs to get looked at. Until then, I know a good way for blacks to avoid getting disportionate sentences for drug use...don't do drugs. How about that?
Still waiting for you to explain why Clinton has any standing to discuss this, when she did everyuthing in her power, to deny a black man (Obama) from the job he so wanted. Please explain? I'm all a-twitter...

So a respect for other viewpoints equates to total capitulation? That doesn't make any sense.

Oh, I see. So Hilary just wants us to respect the black viewpoint. And what evidence is there, pray tell, that she has any more respect for the black viewpoint, than Ted Cruz has? Please elaborate!

I don't NEED to do a #^&#^&#^&#^&ing thing....PERIOD.
I didn't have anything even close to privilege growing up.
So SHE can take her collective WE and stick it up her ass.
I will stay in my little world where the Beer is cold, the jokes are politically incorrect, and I treat people the same regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation......if people want to embrace my philosophy.....they are more than welcome to join me.
Hillary has no place in my world
:cheers2::cheers: Here here

She has also said, many times, that she supports affirmative action. Seems to me that if she meant that, she would have wanted Obama to get the job he wanted in 2008, no?

Yes, that's how affirmative action works. Right.

Apparently you have no idea what it is. If you support affirmative action, that means you buy into the concept that it is right to give, for example, a job to a black man, over a more-qualified white man, in attempt to right an historical wrong. In other words, affirmative action supporters believe we should be prepared to make sacrifices, to accept the fact that we may be passed over when seeking a job.
She claims to support it. Yet she sure didn't show the courage of her convictions, did she? If she isn't prepared to concede a job to ablack person based solely on skin color, where does she get th emoral authority to ask anyone else to do the same?
I await your answer...

You don't really think like this do you.
