Indepatriot's JournalPlease explain to me how sharing a link that provides both context and a full, unedited quote
from Hillary Clinton, then posting my opinion that this quote is unacceptable to me is somehow demeaning her. Did she say "totally obliterate them" or not? Why would you try to demean a rational conversation about a candidates stated position on a VERY important subject. Is discussing HRCs own words demeaning or attacking her?
I would assume then, that Hillary blithely advocating "Total Annihilation" of Iran would
terrify you as well.
I've been "here" since 2007.
Perhaps you need to view the link again. I did NOT post a "partial" quote, the whole thing is right there for all to see, including the complete context. If you want to give Hillary a pass on this that is your choice, I choose not to support anyone who would so casually advocate the murder of millions of innocents.
Honestly, I'm not quite sure, but I am sure more genocide is not the appropriate response.
I agree with you that the press is nearly useless and that the question itself was hyperbolic. But
her answer is terrifying.
I did not twist or distort anything. "Total Obliteration" of millions of innocents is unacceptable
to me no matter the context. And context is fully provided by the link. I believe it is you who are attempting to "twist and distort" here.
Context is completely provided by both the link and the narration. Call me a dove if you
want but in my opinion her answer disqualifies her as an acceptable candidate for the presidency. You answer seems to suggest it was political expediency in a "heated campaign". Either way, no bueno.
Why don't you ask him? My belief is that he would take appropriate action. "Total Obliteration"
of millions of innocents is not appropriate action.
I read the link. I don't care what the context is, advocating Total Obliteration of any nation is
unacceptable to me as a human being.
So you're saying she's "evolved" on this issue? If she has I'd like to know. Did she apologize for
and/or refute this statement? To me, there is no "statute of limitations" on Total Obliteration.
