Do we have a thread yet to celebrate Hillary? No? OK, this is it. :)

[pinboy3niner]

First they spewed the 'Benghazi-Gate' crap.

Then they claimed Hillary was faking illness and just had the 'Benghazi Flu' because she was afraid to be questioned on Capitol Hill. (Hillary afraid? )

Now, they got what they asked for--Hillary testifying before committees of both the Senate and the House. And she totally PWN'd her RW detractors. She responded to questioning with the facts, with reality based answers that contrasted with the fantasy-based perceptions of her attackers.

Hillary Clinton deserves a salute, not just for her extraordinary service to our country as a Senator and Secretary of State, but also for her exceptional performance in debunking all the BS hurled at the State Department and at her.

Her knowlege, and grasp of the facts, easily overcame the BS.

What a great public servant!

[mucifer]

1. I think there are about 15 threads celebrating Hillary. But, we can always have more.

[mythology]

31. She does kinda rock

She's done an exceptional job as Secretary of State. I hope John Kerry can continue her great work.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

74. Late to the party, but we're partying late...

She beyond awesome yesterday.

Mental Note: Never piss her off.

[11 Bravo]

2. Magnificent is WAY too tame a word to describe her today!

She was simply in-fucking-credible! I've never seen anything like it in terms of intelligence, level of preparation, class, and grace under pressure.

[ellisonz]

3. Hillary demonstrated for posterity today that she is a master of diplomacy.

I've had criticisms of her politics in the past, but I've never doubted her integrity, ability, or patriotism.

[pinboy3niner]

18. And we saw it on the monitor, in real time

Can't wait 'til the fact-checkers destroy Dana Rohrabacher's statement.

[kardonb]

45. diplomacy

and her opponents look like typically angry , frustrated old men .

[LeftofObama]

4. K & R!

Kick their asses Hillary!

[Marrah_G]

5. I think she did a great job

And the fact that she could put up with all those nasty comments without losing her temper speaks volumes about why she has been a good diplomat.

[monmouth3]

6. If only she could have said what she was thinking, i.e. when rand paul said "I would have fired

you." and she could have said "we all thank god you are not nor ever will be in that position." Go Hill...

[kelliekat44]

12. No you would not have fired me because i would never have agreed to serve under your administration.

[Cha]

17. This ^^^^^^^^^

[SemperEadem]

50. \o/ kelliekat44 FTW!!!

[icarusxat]

67. yes!

[George II]

41. My thought was, "you tried and failed, you are NOT the President, thankfully!"

[lpbk2713]

7. Next they'll claim she lip synched through the hearing proceedings.

[Cha]

8. Tweet regarding Hillary from Austan Goolsbee

Austan Goolsbee @Austan_Goolsbee

Sec Panetta watches Sec Clinton kick their asses in Benghazi hearing, removes ban on women in combat roles

[pinboy3niner]

11. +99%

A good day, all around.

[Lisa D]

14. Love it!

[Demoiselle]

34. Very nice!

[2naSalit]

60. Indeed!!!

And, for those who may not know it, before Bill won his first presidential election, she was among the top 100 attorneys in the nation. And she only gets better as she goes along. She has broken the glass ceiling in so many areas now... Only 1st Lady to be elected Senator, then go on to become Sec of State, I'm thinking she's not finished yet.

Any of these RWNJs who are toying with the idea of running in '16 see that they have to discredit her so that they might actually have a chance. But they won't be able to "Lewinski" her on anything. Gosh I hope she runs for president again.

[Demo_Chris]

9. She was, as usual, fantastic

[OneGrassRoot]

10. So proud of her. :) K&R! n/t

[GoCubsGo]

13. I admire her more today than yesterday.

I don't think I could have held my tongue the way she did. Bunch of goddamn morons.

[MoonRiver]

15. She is just wonderful!

And what an amazing president she will be in 4 years!

[nolabear]

16. I am so proud of her I could bust!

[Beacool]

19. I have been celebrating Hillary since the 90s.

She was awesome even then.

[Richard D]

20. She was awesome.

Did anyone see her response to aynrand paul? I saw what he said, but I'd love to see her response to that twerp.

[ellisonz]

21. Here you go:

[SemperEadem]

51. then why are you still here?

the worst judgement in the entire senate belongs to runt paul.

[MrMickeysMom]

62. Can you see him making a campaign ad out of his spitting up here?

His soap box rant shows a major asshole, reporting for future duty, after defunding any military budget. Gotta tie it in with "9/11", cause that'll be his campaign.

Tea-bagger want be big president boy someday, like daddy couldn't.

[heaven05]

73. man

this arrogant, no clue POS senator,very small s. She handled him superbly.

[greytdemocrat]

22. Hillary is truly something to behold!!! n/t

[Fla Dem]

23. Hil's my girl......Rock on!

Smack down on Ron Johnson and Rand Paul!

[robinlynne]

24. count me in on this one!

[Lugnut]

25. Hear, hear!

She's a better woman than I in holding her tongue amidst all the stupidity she was subjected to today. It was dumbhead political theater on the hill today.

[dbackjon]

26. Hillary 2016!!

[Hekate]

27. I am SO proud of this woman!

[malaise]

28. She exposed the uninformed, ignorant misogynistic simpletons known as

Congressional ReTHUGs

Bravo Hillary!

[pinboy3niner]

30. + 99%

[Bluzmann57]

29. Like my dad said, "Like going into a gunfight with unarmed men"

Hillary is tougher and smarter than they are. They can't stand that.

[trof]

32. OK, your OP is way better than mine.

But today you can't have too many Hillary threads.

[pinboy3niner]

33. No. you can't have too many today

But we're on the same page.

[trof]

47. You bet!

[Auntie Bush]

35. I admire this woman more and more every day....if that's possible.

I will be in a state of depression (like my right wing brother is over Obama's win) if Hillary doesn't run in 2016. If she does...she'll win! And we'll have our first woman president in my lifetime. I thought that dream had been lost when she lost to Obama. Thank you Obama for choosing her for SoS and giving her another opportunity to run as even MORE qualified and respected WORLD wide than before. I'm loving Hillary. Stay well!

[amuse bouche]

36. She was understated and

spectacular

Her knowledge is superior. I hope she wants to be president

[William769]

37. Any day is a good day to celebrate Hillary!

[socalgal58]

38. Total smackdown

Hillary style....

[Politicub]

39. I see a trend with standing up to bullies

She revealed the GOP inquisitors to be the arrogant blathering idiots that they are.

[icarusxat]

68. thus be it always to bullies

and simpletons who shill for big money...

[northoftheborder]

40. Simply fantastic today.

Hillary Clinton's ability to show her brilliance, understanding, knowledge without being snarky, sarcastic, or demeaning is without peer. She completely demolishes her attackers with passion, honesty, patience, but anger when appropriate, and pure genius. I don't know anyone else who can measure up to her. She is truly one of the greats.

[momsrule]

42. Hilary has always been underrated.

Not anymore! She schooled the repugs today and will again if elected in 2016. There can no longer be any doubt about her strengths and abilities to uphold all that we value as democrats and progressives. She is hard working and dedicated to the highest principles and can deliver a punch if necessary. Hilary, you are the best!

[riverbendviewgal]

43. She did well and made those republicans

look like little bullies....so like sore losers..

[George II]

44. Bill Clinton has to be beaming out of pride this afternoon - major backfire on the republicans

[WillyT]

46. HUUUUUUUGE K & R !!!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

48. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

and may many more women coming up take inspiration from her!!!!!






thanks for the thread, pinboy!

[SemperEadem]

49. HillyClints16

she didn't take any shit off of those thugs... I was like "get 'em, Hills!"

[aquart]

52. I thought she looked nicely rested.

At least ten years younger than the last time I saw her.

We've been running her ragged.

[vlyons]

53. Jeff Duncan = the biggest blow hard

I must say that when I saw fat Jeff Duncan going all apoplectic red in the face, the thought that first came to mind was "blow hard." The 2nd thought was "biggest blow hard of the day." I could tell by the way he was looking down at his paper of talking points, and his jumbled paragraphs of run-on sentences that he was a clown performing for red neck hate mongers in SC. Actually, I thought towards the end of his rant that his hands were shaking. LOL What an asshole.

And didn't Clinton dispatch him with aplomb? Yes, Congressman, read the fucking report!

Did you notice that nobody asked very deeply what the CIA was doing in Bengazi? Bengazi was a CIA operation, with maybe a secret prison, using State Dept cover. Not that the CIA shouldn't be in Bengazi, at the very least as a listening post. But let me remind you that the CIA has a long record of failed intelligence. Missed the fall of the Soviet Union and the Arab spring.

[badhair77]

54. what patience she showed

And meeting each lie with a fact.

The longer I watched I just saw white man after white man trying to beat on a woman. But she stood up to each one of them. Good job, Hillary. I expected nothing less.

[pinboy3niner]

55. .

[pinboy3niner]

56. .

[flamingdem]

57. That was a month worth of campaign commercials

now I just hope she's into running in '16

[Chorophyll]

58. She was amazing today.

She's amazing every day. I've always been a fan, so I'm just feeling kinda smug right now.

Generally speaking, any day a Democrat kicks ass and takes names is a good day. I'm glad to see it becoming routine again after so many awful years.

[The Wizard]

59. Celebrate

[pinboy3niner]

61. I'll see you that and raise you...

[The Wizard]

72. Roger that 3niner

and for the public reaction to Kim Jong Paul's absurd assertions in the form of questions.

It seems the public is getting wise to the feigned outrage from the radical right. Could be that normal people have caught on. Bigotry disguised as patriotism used to work better before we started pushing back.

[lonestarnot]

63. K & R!!

[workinclasszero]

64. Give those teabag bastards HELL Hillary!!!!

And thanks rethuglicans for showing the whole country once again what complete and utter fools you all are!

[Rowdyboy]

65. She ate their kidneys for lunch.....

[tex-wyo-dem]

66. There are politicians who...

Exude confidence, who were born to be diplomats, who care about the service they are providing to their country, who are highly intelligent and back their positions up with data and facts. That is Hillary in a nutshell.

Then there's the GOP congress who are filled with schister clowns who appear to be nothing more than hack lawyers trying to make a name for themselves to "further their careers". They really couldn't give a shit about what's good for the country...it's all a game of personal promotion to them.

[cntrfthrs]

69. We share the same birthday

[Rhiannon12866]

70. K&R! She was truly excellent!

I think I would have lost it with several of them...

[Katie]

71. K&R!

[texshelters]

75. Celebrate what

her warmongering?

Quote Sec Clinton, "We can't retreat"

Sounds like Vietnam to me, and most of y'all were against that war, right?

She's support the wars throughout her time in the Senate and Cabinet. I can't get behind that. And yes, ha ha that she took down the anti-democratic forces of the Republicans. She IS better than them, but even I look tan next to an albino.

Before you start, I'm no troll. I'm an anti-war social democrat who is tired of people saluting the war Cabinet and White House while not taking on Wall Street.


PTxS

[Tippy]

76. Thank you Sec. Clinton for your service to our country...

[Skittles]

77. Hillary shows us how it is done

there is a lot of Democrats who should PAY ATTENTION

[judesedit]

78. Absolutely.Thank you Hillary for being smarter, stronger, quicker, and nicer than those bozos.Do it

again and again.

[hamsterjill]

79. She is brilliant.

When you put brilliance up against raw hate, well, you saw what happened yesterday!!!

Very proud of her for her many accomplishments, but particularly, her accomplishments as Secretary of State.

[hue]

80. I love Hillary!! I wish Her health, happiness & much love!! She deserves the best!!
