The Real Reason Why Hillary Clinton Lost
"...I never cease to be amazed at the ... people in this country. And I say to hell with them" - Elton John

She never repudiated his hate speech and ended up losing the primary season because of it. When will candidates realize we have no tolerance for anti-American foreigners trying to disturb our political process?

Sheesh.

7. Nooooooo!
Eh, except for his musical scores of animated films, I never cared for his music. His songs are too damn long like he thinks we need to listen to him longer than other artists. :)

8. He thinks we're too stupid to see how much he wants us all to die
And go to hell, according to the foremention quote. What a disgrace.

2. Most people never heard about that quote
I suspect the poorly-run Clinton campaign had much more to do with her loss than anything else.

when it was Blair who helped Bush lie us into war. Remember the Downing Documents? They planned attacking Iraq before 911.

17. Just a super-terrorist with nothing better to do but cause hate and discontent.
He might as well live in a cave and send out his hate message via analog tape to the news media.

20. Your post would be a lot more honest if you used the entire quote from
Edited on Wed Jun-11-08 09:09 AM by Arkansas Granny
Elton John instead of taking parts out of context. You've also substituted the word "it" with "them".

"I never cease to be amazed at the misogynistic attitude of some of the people of this country, and I say to hell with it," said John, clad in a sequined black dinner jacket, red silk shirt and red sunglasses. "I love you, Hillary, and I'll be there for you just like all the times you were there for me. Hillary should be the next President of America."

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2008/04/09/2008-04-09_elton_john_radio_city_fundraiser_earns_h.html

He was not condemning all Americans, just the misogynistic attitude of some.

When you quote him correctly, it doesn't sound like hate speech at all, now, does it?

Sheesh!

Edit for spelling.

It speaks for itself.

Elton John is basically a suicide bomber dressed in a Donald Duck suit.

With some really flashy duds. Green sequins? They never go out of style!
