I work with a guy who is a die hard Hilary Supporter....and I swear to god its like talking to a victim of some deranged form of Domestic Abuse....

They deny that the other person lied or did anything terrible in the past, even though deep down inside they know its true. But going forward they know everything is going to be OK because they've changed.

Then they do something terrible again, but they said they were sorry and didn't really mean it, but it's going to be OK because they promised that it will never happen again.....and they still love them and are certain they are going to change...Just wait and see

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.

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.

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.
