I think she walked back the 1/2 remark but essentially what she said was spot on.

There's nothing wrong with calling his rhetoric out for what it is and that fact that he's a hate magnet. I don't think she's counting on David Duke's support.

No, she double downed on it


Yes there is a lot wrong with it, she should NOT speak about the people who will be voting like that, stick to the opponent.
You don't hear Trump talking about Hillary supporters insulting them do you?

She is one horrible person

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Do you not think Trumps campaign hasn't attracted and often tailored its message to those people who are : Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic,


Hillary Clinton expressed "regret" Saturday for comments in which she said "half" of Donald Trump's supporters are "deplorables,"

Haven't seen the Donald express any regret for the many insults he has thrown

isn't funny to see now you guys want Political correctness from Hillary?

but you support Donald's lack of political correctness when you agree with what he has to say no matter how outrageous it is

Well he has. An after-the-fact apology, doesn't erase what was said. She apologized after she caught heat for that vile statement.

"you support Donald's lack of political correctness "

Again, you are wrong. I think he's an azzhole. I don't ignore his faults. That's what you and Spence do, not me.

Trump walked back what he said about McCain and Fiorina. He still made those remarks. It means nothing to you that she said it?

She didn't call out his rhetoric Spence (as you said, nothing wrong with that). She smeared the people who aren't voting or her. And you have zero issue with that, because she's flawless to you.

She's as divisive as he is.

As always, you are completely unable to criticize her for what was clearly a putrid thing to say. So much of liberalism on display here - her open contempt for everyone who disagrees with her, your inability to admit that she did anything wrong.

"There's nothing wrong with calling his rhetoric out for what it is "

True, there is nothing wrong with that. But there is something wrong with the fact that you can't call our her rhetoric for what it is.

"I don't think she's counting on David Duke's support."

True. But she is supposed to let the reasonable people who disagree with her, feel like she cares about our interests too. She just said that our interests are rooted in hate and racism, and therefore not something she would ever advocate for.

You just don't get it.

No, but she is counting on Al Sharpton's support. And she'll get it. So why, exactly, doesn't that make her a hate magnet? You have fun squirming your way out that that trap you walked right into...

Allow me to answer for you...hate isn't a bad thing, it's actually spot-on, when it comes from the left, directed at the right.

Why do you declare yourself victorious all the time? It's like calling yourself cool.

Do you EVER answer a challenging question? Ever?

Here it is again. You say Trump is a hate magnet. Well, if Hilary is courting the likes of Al Sharpton, why cannot I similarly claim that she is a hate magnet?

Don't send me a link to the New York Times or the Huffington Post. Just try to answer that in your own words. Is that really asking too much?

Whoop-dee-doo, she says that the other half of Trump supporters are not the devil reincarnated.

Spence, she said that half his supporters, which is tens of millions of Americans, are deplorable. She said it. Someone wrote that line for her, she thought it was worth saying out loud, so she owns it.

Do you know what deplorable means? She is describing almost 25% of the country she wishes to lead, as deplorable?

Whew.

From one of your articles, Spence...

"Anyone who elevates a sexist is part of that sexism"

Bill Clinton wasn't a sexist, then? It's not sexist when Hilary attacked the credibility of his victims? Everyone who likes Bill Clinton, is a part of his sexual predation and his perjury that got him dis-barred? You're OK being lumped in with that?

Attacking Trump is one thing, and totally fair. Saying that his supporters are guilty of his sins? Why only half, then? Why then, aren't 100% of his supporters equally deplorable?

Have fun with that.

Hate isn't a bad thing? That's an odd thing to say.

Sharpton isn't motivated by hate, he's motivated by a sense of injustice.

Oh, I see. Sharpton doesn't hate Jews in New York City, I got it.

David Duke might say he isn't motivated by hate either, but motivated by what he sees as a sense of just racial inheritance that to him, makes sense. That he claims to not be motivated by hate, doesn't make it so.

We are defined by our actions, Spence. Having a (D) after your last name, doesn't mean you can say hateful things and not be a hatemonger. To you it means precisely that, but not to fair-minded people.

Hilary also courts the people at Media Matters. They don't hate conservatives? Nah...They can't be haters, only Republicans can be haters.
