In other news, Hillary had some other statements praising public figures.

[backscatter712]

She praised Rick Snyder for his leadership in dealing with the Flint water crisis.

She praised Chris Christie for taking charge and dealing with bridge gridlock in New Jersey.

She praised George W. Bush for his strong role in saving New Orleans from the damage of Hurricane Katrina.

She praised George Wallace for his leadership in ending segregation.

She praised Jerry Falwell for being a strong voice for marriage equality.

She praised Henry Kissinger for being a strong voice for human rights.

She praised Richard Nixon for being a man of integrity during the Watergate scandal.

Now I have to think of some more...

[bigwillq]

1. Can you provide links and direct quotes, please?

Thanks

[backscatter712]

3. Help me out here.

Who else did Hillary praise on top of praising Nancy Reagan's HIV/AIDS advocacy?

[bigwillq]

5. Not sure.

Since this is your OP, I think you should provide readers with links and quotes to back up your claims.

For the record, I loathe Mrs. Clinton, so I am not trying to be snarky, just think if one starts an OP, they should provide those links.

[backscatter712]

6. What, you don't see my snark?

[bigwillq]

7. I do see it

Just asking for links and direct quotes to support your OP.

[bigwillq]

23. Ha. I really see it now. My bad.

[daleanime]

2. and she repeated that progressive voters should shut up....

and vote like they're told to.

[Betty Karlson]

4. I wonder if the HRC (Human Rights Campaign) is still happy about that endorsement of theirs.

But my post to that effect was hidden - of course, why would Hillary not be shielded from criticism?

[cherokeeprogressive]

10. I rec'd it anyway. Was just on a jury for another post of yours.

No results yet. I of course voted to leave.

[Betty Karlson]

12. Seems I have ruffled a few feathers when calling Clinton a silent homophobe.

Which she is.

Acquiescence in, or excusing of, other people's homophobia is homophobic itself.

[cherokeeprogressive]

15. Have to agree. 5-2 leave on the other post BTW. nt

[Betty Karlson]

16. Which one was that, if I may ask?

If they try to hide it, it must have been particularly true.

[cherokeeprogressive]

17. This one...

Ida, you need to educate yourself. I mean that in the kindest way possible.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Completely inappropriate and over the top attack. This is embarrassing to see people on DU spout this kind of hyperbole.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Mar 12, 2016, 04:06 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: In what universe is thoughtful discourse considered inappropriate, over-the-top, and hyperbolic? Dumb alert.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerter is guilty of the hyperbole she accuses the poster of.
Another example of the trigger finger defense from the Hillary camp.
Certainly giving them a bad rep.
Post was spot on, respectful, and well thought out.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Opinions presented as facts whilst initially telling the poster to 'educate yourself' smacks of arrogance.

"Her true face is that of a silent homophobe who is willing to excuse the woman who perpetrated (as First Lady, with her husband) a genocide by not doing anything against the "gay cancer"'

This line is indicative of why this post needs to be hidden - it is both hyperbolic and subjective wrapped up in abusiveness that is misplaced on a forum aimed to promote Democrats. Completely misplaced understanding of what supporting a candidate is about and should not be encouraged further.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I vote hide very few times - but this time I vote "hide"
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: What. The. Holy. Fuck? Alerter; you are absolutely out of your mind, and in Total Hillary Defense Mode.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

[Betty Karlson]

19. Wow, so a thoughful discussion on homophobia, between two Sanders supporters, is now alerted on?

Clinton's supporters must be in full panic mode after surveying the first fall-out of Clinton's remarks. I cannot think of another explanation for their frantic efforts to "purge" DU.

[cherokeeprogressive]

21. This would be the part of the movie where the supposed protagonists use machine guns

in much the same way people use garden hoses. Pretty much hold the trigger and sweep in all directions, hoping to hit something.

[Betty Karlson]

24. LOL!

[UglyGreed]

38. I was on Reddit and stumbled across

this but not sure if this website is respected in the LGBT community but Bill seems to enforce your point of view .....

http://www.queerty.com/bill-clinton-cautioned-that-hillarys-discomfort-around-gay-issues-would-hurt-her-2000-senate-bid-20150924

[Betty Karlson]

39. The LGBT community is not a monolithic group mind.

Sure there are parts of it that appreciate Queerty's articles (free of an agenda, except that gay one). And for once, I think Bill was spot on in his analysis.

[UglyGreed]

45. I was not trying to imply

such a thing. Since many websites may just be crap, and the fact I never seen the site before I have no clue as to how accurate their reporting may be........

[Betty Karlson]

46. It's usually unbiased,

and refreshingly free from heteronormativity. I can see the appeal.

[UglyGreed]

48. Thank you

and sorry if my first post was misunderstood

[Metric System]

27. Gee, I can't imagine why your post about HRC rimming HRC was hidden.

[Betty Karlson]

34. The Hillary Hide Patrol serves as an excellent explanation.

They don't take to sarcasm kindly.

[Bluenorthwest]

40. I think the DU community is very aware that LGBT have targets on our backs because we won't

pretend it is ok to claim Ron and Nancy Reagan were champions of the early AIDS crisis. We are being baited, attacked and smeared by Clinton supporters who are in panic mode having looked for every fault in Bernie's words with a magnifying glass for months as they realize their own candidate has said something so incredibly out of touch with equality, decency and the truth.

So most of DU is going to protect us from the bullies pushing bully shit.

[Betty Karlson]

47. I think the Clinton campaign's efforts yesterday were most aptly described as

"this is the part of the movie where the protagonists handles a machine gun as if it is a water hose, and hopes it hits something"

So yeah, I was grazed by a Hill-Billie-Bullet yesterday. As if their thin skinned idolatry of the Clintons will ever entice me to praise Nancy/ Hillary / other elitist out-of-touchers.

I won't be quiet, and I will attack the unworthy candidate with ever more vigor, especially after the coronation committee's apologist efforts yesterday.

[Metric System]

49. Again, you don't speak for all LGBT voters. Many of us support Hillary.

[pdsimdars]

43. But you realize it was the LEADERSHIP of the HRC that endorsed and not the members

As is the case in EVERY ONE of Hillary's "endorsements"
As for Bernie's, his were all done by polling the MEMBERS.
Quite a difference there.

[Betty Karlson]

44. Thank you for adding that distinction.

If my post deserved to be hidden, it should have been for failing to exhonorate the (not consulted) rank and file of the HRC.

[backscatter712]

8. She praised Jefferson Davis for his historic role in ending slavery.

She praised Herbert Hoover for his leadership during the Great Depression.

She praised Dick Cheney for his role in ending the torture at Abu Ghraib.

She praised Anita Bryant for her work for gay rights!

I can keep going...

[nichomachus]

9. And she also praised

Bill Clinton for his strong family values.

[backscatter712]

13. Oh snap!

[Punkingal]

11. Also...

She praised Ross Barnett of Mississippi for his support of college education for all.

[backscatter712]

14. She praised Rush Limbaugh for his journalistic excellence. n/t

[Wilms]

18. She praises herself, constantly. n/t

[Punkingal]

20. LOL

[BernieforPres2016]

22. I'm a Bernie supporter and think you should delete this

It's not factual, it's not funny, and it just allows Hillary and her supporters to play the victim.

The actual things she has said and done are bad enough.

[backscatter712]

25. For christ's sake, it's snark.

We're allowed to ridicule Hillary when she says things as mind-bogglingly stupid as what she said about Nancy Reagan and AIDS.

[BernieforPres2016]

32. I stated an opinion

I'd rather ridicule what she actually says, which is a gold mine of material.

[bigwillq]

26. Congrats on 1,000 posts!

[BernieforPres2016]

31. Thanks, but I don't think I really have anywhere near 1000 posts

Sometimes when I click to recommend a post the count jumps by 5 or 10. I don't trust the counting going on around here.

[merrily]

30. My husband once laughed at something I thought was not p.c.

I said, "That's not funny. " He replied, rightly, IMO, "Don't tell me what's funny."

What is funny and what is not is subjective. The OP is satirical.

[Bluenorthwest]

41. Ok then. Here is her actual praise for Rick Warren and his congregation, quoted and linked.

Rick Warren called all same sex couples the same as pedophiles:

"And first, [applause] let me first say how relieved Bill and I were to hear that Saddleback was spared from the recent wildfires - and how impressed and moved we were to hear about the love and support that you gave those who were not so fortunate.

It's another example of the way in which this church is not measured by numbers. Yes, the numbers are big, they're certainly impressive. But it's measured by your impact. It's measured by the meaning that you give to lives here within this complex and so far beyond its boundaries. And the commitment that you demonstrate both to our faith in God and to doing His work here on earth is exemplary and that is one of the many reasons that I wanted to be here today.

You know, Rick has helped so many people with his lessons for a 40-day spiritual journey. But he knows those 40 days are just the beginning. "
http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=77080

It's a speech 'about AIDS' no less. She says 'gay' just 4 times, and then she uses the word as part of her excuse making for straights Christians like herself who did nothing about it out of bigotry and fear:
"Twenty-five years ago, when men - mostly young gay men - began dying from a disease that had no name, we could not have, and certainly did not, talk about it in church. It would not have been proper. It would not have been polite. It would have been discomforting for so many of us."


Excuses her Christian peers for refusing to help those in need while thousands died. 'We could not have, it would not have been proper, it would have been discomforting for us' she says. Jesus said if you don't help the sick you do not know Jesus and you go to hell. Hillary says 'Oh, we couldn't because it would be discomforting to us'.

Is that better, because it is real?

[backscatter712]

28. She praised Nero for his fire-fighting efforts when Rome was ablaze!

She praised General Custer for his victory at Little Bighorn.

She praised Kim Jong Un for his taste in haircuts.

[JohnnyLib2]

29. Sigh......

Snark it is and some fools will believe it. Wish we could save this stuff for Trump.

[backscatter712]

33. Hillary Clinton praised Kylo Ren for his calm temperament during his service with the First Order.nt

[backscatter712]

35. Hillary Clinton praised Pennywise for being great with children. n/t

[SheenaR]

36. She praised Wilt Chamberlain for his stance on abstinence n/t

[backscatter712]

37. I'm posting some of these on Twitter, using the hashtag #ClintonPraise.

By all means, feel free to retweet...

[beedle]

42. I just want to know

where does she stand on 'fire' and 'the wheel'. Will she 'lead' the fight to move forward with these new, very important technologies?

[Skwmom]

50. Let us talk Hurricane Katrina.

Bill Clinton and the Bushes walk out of a press conference at the Whitehouse laughing together after it was announced that Bush I and Clinton would raise funds.

Bush I and Bill Clinton were later on Larry King. Larry King made a comment about Bush II being criticized for the handling of Katrina. Bush I turned to Clinton and said you take this and he did.

ANYONE who could have watched that travesty unfold and then defend Bush ....

The anniversary of Katrina showed how the black communities look like a third world country. Yet the celebration went on.

[tularetom]

51. You may think this is just

But it wouldn't surprise me at all if somebody did some sleuthing and discovered that at least one of your "hypotheticals" turned out to be factual.
