we get it. You never really cared about us.

You just wanted our votes and our money and our support. But maybe you can dispense with those too, just like you dispensed with us, and just like Nancy tried to dispense with our community by letting AIDS work its "gay cancer" magic?

If you should ever want to hide your face in shame, I've still got that closet you tried to keep me in until 2013. Remember that closet? It's all yours if you want it. Feel free to take Bill with you.

Bey now,

the base you NEVER deserved.

She knew exactly what she was doing/saying and how hurtful it was and she did it anyway. Then the non-apology on top of the bald-faced lie is just twisting the knife in deeper. Hillary knows how to serve up a two-fer.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Shouldn't have to explain how this is over the top- but claiming that Hill would throw LGBT ppl "under the bus" when she is so strongly supportive is straight from the Repuke playbook. This needs a hide.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Mar 12, 2016, 08:30 AM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If you cant win the argument, use the alert button! Derp
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Even Hillary has apologized for her "misspeaking." This is sardonic, and not hide-worthy. One more alert fail.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The alerter is full of it. Leave the post alone and STOP TRYING TO ABUSE THE JURY SYSTEM.

The truth is obviously very uncomfortable for her supporters. I do feel for them, actually.

I imagine her statement would have offended not only GLBT's and their supporters but also Reagan worshipers who don't appreciate having the Reagans associated with support for AIDS victims. I can't figure out who she was hoping to appeal to with that statement, because it seems to me like a lose-lose.

...when Obama offered praise for Reagan's influence. And here we are 8 years later and Hillary is rewriting history for them.
