Just listen to that clip, it's brutal.

[apcalc]

1. Non-issue at this point

To the majority of Democratic voters.

[Gwhittey]

5. How do you know

Is there some poll you are talking about?

[demwing]

39. Poster doesn't know, just projecting

apcalc supports Hillary and doesn't give a shit. Apparently, poster believes no one else does either.

[Betty Karlson]

16. I think she deserves a dose of that medicine David Brock is eager to hand out to Sanders:

Even a "meh" interview should be turned into a near-scandal. Let's see how she likes it.

[bettyellen]

68. all this phony concern makes me realize so many people shilling for SBS have no integrity.

I thought only the GOP pushed fake scandals?

[dogman]

2. Another just say no.

[Skwmom]

3. Double standard. There is because the corporate media won't talk about what is in your tax returns.

[JudyM]

4. So she says it's a double standard, and that sanders hasn't released his tax returns.

When Bernie releases his returns I'm sure Hillary will then release her speeches.

The question was very well-constructed, if a bit long.

[pdsimdars]

15. Just like she released her transcript when Bernie released his.

Then she'll probably ask for his long for birth certificate and college transcripts. . . . .

[JudyM]

18. You got that right. As with everything, her game, her rules, but somehow *she* is the victim

of the double standard.

[Myrina]

32. His tax returns are out already ...

Soooooo .... she's complaining about what, exactly?

[salinsky]

6. Legal Insurrection??

Why not surrender all pretense, don a tri-cornered hat, and start c&ping for the Gateway Pundit at this point.

Sheesh.

[LisaM]

56. Exactly. No context, links to a right-wing source.

I don't know if it's astroturf or clickbait.

[dcbuckeye]

7. She sounded fine to me

Nothing new here. She was forceful but it certainly wasn't "disastrous." LOL

[Major Nikon]

8. Results...

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Legal Insurrection is a notorious wingnut blog, made famous for throwing a temper tantrum that President Obama ordered Dijon mustard. No, really. http://legalinsurrection.com/2009/05/msnbc-hides-obamas-dijon-mustard-aka-dijongate/

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Apr 13, 2016, 11:22 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The alert could have been a response. Leave it alone.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Can we please, for the love of being liberal stop using wingnut sources here. If I wanted to read this shit I'd go to their sites. I took the time to look it up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_A._Jacobson https://twitter.com/leginsurrection https://www.facebook.com/legalinsurrection/ Stop using these sources. I'm hiding this.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Alerter is correct. Here is how they describe themselves: "Legal Insurrection now is one of the most widely cited and influential conservative websites, with hundreds of thousands of visitors per month. Our work has been highlighted by top conservative radio personalities, such as Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin, and Professor Jacobson regularly appears as a guest on radio shows across the nation."
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Right wing sources inappropriate
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Thin skinned alerter? where was any rudeness?
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: While it may be true the source of the youtube is linked from a wingnut website, the reference is to an audio recording of HRC's own words.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

[CorkySt.Clair]

23. I loved the verbal gymnastics of Juror 6

Bravo.

[Desert805]

24. What gymnastics?

Did she say it or not?

Assuming you can admit she did (who knows lately), well... what gymnastics?

#6 was quite clear.

[giftedgirl77]

26. This place has been overrun with Wing nuts it's no wonder RW

bullshit is allowed to stand.

[grasswire]

27. did she say it, or not?

Hillary supporters are mad now because people are capturing Hillary's own words and posting them??

Who the hell cares what entity put the clip on youtube?

She said what she said.

[revbones]

30. Yeah! How dare they use her own words and audio against her!

Yep. Definitely right-wing. No doubt about it.

[giftedgirl77]

35. Are you going to stick around after HRC wins or will you vanish

back into the interwebs until the next opportunity to bash Democrats arises?

[revbones]

36. Awwww, what's the matter? Don't like hearing your own candidates words?

Can't admit she just readily lies - like being under sniper fire and running for cover? Or to unions? Or is corrupt?

She's only a Democrat because she has the "D" behind her name, definitely not by her actions.

[giftedgirl77]

37. Nope, as I've told you before I have legitimate issues with HRC.

what I don't like is when people blatantly violate the TOS that they agreed to when they signed up by posting to RW garbage.

[revbones]

38. Please show us where they violated the TOS by using an audio recording her her own words.

I'm tired of people whining about right-wing sources when it's their own candidate speaking. Or a video clip from CNN or MSNBC.

[Surya Gayatri]

49. Go have a look at his/her "Transparency" page. Tells you everything you need to know.

[giftedgirl77]

51. Lol, or their journals.

Always shows how Democratic they really are.

[revbones]

65. Yep. Proudly shows what ridiculous stuff Hillary followers will alert for... nt

[revbones]

9. It's a "different standard" rofl

First it was when every candidate, Republican or Democrat released their speech transcripts. Now she'll only release speech transcripts when Sanders releases all his tax returns, even though he released his latest already.

When Sanders releases his tax returns, it'll just be something else to delay with.

She is completely pathetic.

[DookDook]

21. That's been the gameplan they've operated from

[Surya Gayatri]

50. And, you seem to get in trouble a lot with your poison pen.

Very revealing "Transparency" page. You must be proud of your "progressive" cred. LOL!

[revbones]

10. Whoever alerted on this should be ashamed.

Regardless of source, it's an audio recording of Hillary. It's not like they doctored it up. Get over yourself.

[factfinder_77]

11. Hillary wants to be held to the same standards as the other candidates

ok by be.

[Onlooker]

12. "Legal Insurrection now is one of the most widely cited and influential conservative websites"

Ah, let's turn to conservatives to get our arguments.

http://legalinsurrection.com/about/

[amborin]

13. kill the messenger

[pdsimdars]

17. finish the sentence

Kill the messenger because they have no answer to the message.

[Desert805]

25. So that's not her on the recording?

Because I think it is.

[TheSarcastinator]

45. no, it's Wizard Bernie! He mind-controlled the Pope!

And now he is causing Hillary to say things on tape!!1!

[Faux pas]

14. Kickin'

[bigtree]

19. this is where all pretense about being progressive falls away

...when posting videos on behalf of your revolutionary candidate produced and distributed by openly conservative sources like 'legal insurrection.'

This is what the Sanders campaign has brought to DU, right-wing propaganda under the guise of progressiveness.

We can see you.

[Babel_17]

20. Afaik they didn't produce it

It says, "Hillary Clinton interview with the Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News Editorial Board"

http://www.philly.com/philly/opinion/20160412_What_Hillary_Clinton_told_The_Inquirer.html

Maybe someone can start a fresh thread so as to avoid the association with the linked source in the OP?

[me b zola]

34. WTLF

This was audio of Sec Clinton. No spin, just Sec Clinton's own words.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

22. she deflected to bernies taxes! lol at least here supporters here try to spin an answer sometimes.

[jillan]

28. Now we know why Hillary does not do Q & As with the media.

She does not like the questions.

[jillan]

29. To all of you that are whining this is a right wing site - you can be certain this is an issue

that will be coming up in the GE.

[Babel_17]

46. It's actually from ...

Hillary Clinton interview with The Inquirer & Philadelphia Daily News Editorial Board

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511721590

[frylock]

31. Disastrous.

Not ready for prime time.

[TheBlackAdder]

33. The paper partly owned by So. Jersey Party Boss, who works with Christie to build his fifedom.

.


The paper purchased to increase regional power and drive political goals.


The same empire that is preventing the Democratic voter records from being released to his son's challenger, Alex Law.



No sweat, she's got their endorsement.


.

[TheSarcastinator]

41. you haven't listened to the clip yet, have you?

BWAHAHAHA. Hoisted on her own petard.

[TheBlackAdder]

43. No. No need to. I live in this region, I subscribe to their paper, I know how they roll.

[TheSarcastinator]

44. ah yes, the power of intentional ignorance

It's just a clip of Hillary responding to a question, so unless you are willing to claim it is doctored in some way, you have just done nothing but reveal your own inability to deal with truth.

[TheBlackAdder]

58. Really, even if she comes off poorly, which I'll take your word for, my hearing doesn't make a diff.

.


That's the truth.

I've seen shit, from my poli-sci research, that would blow most minds.

This would be a time-waster compared the those.


Yet, at the same time, I am not revealing anything because I am not providing GOP opposition research.


You can shovel what you selling somewhere else.


.

[ViseGrip]

40. She will be very unhappy now with the timing of Bernie's tax release.

There will be time right then, before the vote, to release her speaking transcripts to Wall Street. Hillary played right into his hands...like putty.

First she wanted Bernie's speaking transcripts released. That was the fair bar for her. Oooopsie, he doesn't have any. So she's moved the post, and is asking for something she knows he has to give. She is stalling.

[TheSarcastinator]

42. that is some ugly, ugly audio from Hillary Clinton

I hope this gets a lot of coverage: her arrogance and disdain for average, working Americans and their desire to know the truth about how she has made her money and achieved her influence is remarkable. Bow down, peasants!

[snagglepuss]

53. What shocked me is her tone.Very harsh and mean, not the controlled church lady voice we often hear.

Was she face to face or on a phone?

[Babel_17]

[Surya Gayatri]

48. Interesting Right-Wing source you used there. Bravo!

Your true political allegiance is on display.

[AzDar]

52. Welp, to be fair...Hillary's words often sound 'right-wing' to me. But I'm a Progressive, so...

[840high]

54. bam +1

[BillZBubb]

55. She's a smart politician. If those transcripts didn't contain something damaging,

they would have been released long ago. It makes no sense to take the grief and appearance of hiding something if there truly is nothing in them. Instead of defending not releasing them, she could be espousing her policy proposals.

Perhaps they are truly innocent. If that is the case, she is letting her feelings that it isn't fair cloud her judgment. That's not a good trait in a president.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

57. CYA...as usual.

[Lucinda]

59. It was an excellent interview, as always. n/t

[zappaman]

61. You've got quite the eye!

[Kentonio]

62. I don't get it.

She says she just talked about being Sec State and told the story of the Bin Laden raid etc etc, so why not just release the damn things and shut everyone up?

[ThePhilosopher04]

64. She really is the worst kind of human being.

Takes responsibility for nothing unless it makes her look good. She has the art of deceit down like a science. I fear for our country if she is elected. Seriously afraid.

[Barack_America]

66. Wow. It sounded bad from the transcript.

But the audio of it was even worse. Very contentious exchanges.

[kristopher]

67. All Bluster and Bullshit. nt
