Hillary went to 2 MLK rallies as a teenager and shook his hand and was inspired

[UALRBSofL]

I don't know about her early life other then when she was married to Bill and lived in arkansas. I think thats pretty cool. :)

[DebraK]

1. And then she insulted his entire legacy.

Which only goes to show that you can be nice to someones face and be "inspired", and then destroy their legacy later for your own political agenda.

She does it here also: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/2/1/234527/0014/392/448115

3. Wow

That was unnecessary.

[Straight Shooter]

25. Of course it was necessary.

They can't help themselves; thus the justification to express their hurt and anger. Thin skinned, like Lord Barack.

[in_cog_ni_to]

32. It's predictable though. The Obama people will need some Prozac and a gallon of Scotch tomorrow

after their guy loses. Hopefully, they'll stick their tails between their legs and go back to Free Republic.

[ronnykmarshall]

8. What a load.

[rodeodance]

14. a bid load of stinking poo-poo!!

[AX10]

18. Bullshit from the Obamanation.

And shame on anyone who believes this shit.

[Azathoth]

2. And then she became a Goldwater girl...

:shrug:

[my2sense]

6. You beat me to it!

She should just leave the MLK stuff alone...

[rodeodance]

15. I could get rich if I had a nickle for every time that meme has been posted on DU. you really do

NEED NEW MATERIAL!!

[Azathoth]

20. Meme? Fact. And a relevant fact if she's claiming that she was "inspired" by MLK n/t

[Hoof Hearted]

27. It's the writers strike Rodeo, it's affecting their one-liners of limited substance.

[Azathoth]

29. So she was "inspired" by MLK, then enthusiastically supported a guy who opposed the Civil Rights Act

The cognitive dissonance among the Hillaryites is truly breathtaking.

[rodeodance]

34. Young college day--get a brain before you spout off.

[Azathoth]

36. What? Perhaps you should actually read your candidate's bio n/t

[rodeodance]

35. chuckle--maybe i should give them some leeway until someone writes them new lines.

[sandnsea]

4. And then she worked to get Goldwater elected

Or so I've heard.

:shrug:

[ronnykmarshall]

11. and worked to impeach Nixon.

Or so I've heard!

:loveya:

Gotcha back!!!

[NJSecularist]

5. She also worked for Barry Goldwater

[ronnykmarshall]

13. My parents mom voted for Goldie.

And now is a democrat.

Your point?

I'm wating!

[cindyw]

7. She shook his hand and then was inspired to be a goldwater girl.

[ronnykmarshall]

10. and went on to work on Nixon's impeachment.

Your point?

Need another straw to grasp at?

[cindyw]

22. Just saying that she seems to have some trouble seeing the light when it was right in front of her.

[ErnestoG]

9. And yet her cultists spit on "inspiration".

how weird is that?

[rodeodance]

16. NAH NAH--the cult label is owned by the Obamababied. you have shown you earned it.

[zulchzulu]

12. So inspired that in 1964, she supported Goldwater who was against MLK

One of Goldwater's main issues that he ran on was to not allow the Civil Rights Act to pass in 1964.

Hillary was a Goldwater Girl. So after shaking MLK's hand, she decided to give him the finger.

That's judgment. That's experience.

:boring:

[DebraK]

19. Exactly. She then went against MLK for her political agenda

[madrchsod]

28. she was confused at Wellesley

she worked for eugene McCarthy and melvin laird in the same year....

[zulchzulu]

31. To go from Eugene McCarthy to friggin' Barry Goldwater in one year?

That's experience enough to make you wanna pull your hair out...

Yick.

[Hoof Hearted]

17. I wish she talked more about her early life. She once had a job on a fishing pier in Alaska

Doing very physically hard, dirty (and disgusting) work to earn money for college.

Her mom was abandoned by her grandparents and grew up taking care of herself from the age of 13.

Hillary's personal story of her early life is fascinating.

[UALRBSofL]

23. Are you serious about that or just pulling my leg?

Because if she didn't go to alaska and all the other stuff then that's not funny.

[Hoof Hearted]

24. No, not kidding. It's in "Living History". I almost dropped the book.

I wish she talked more about the difficulties of her early life, what her parents went through, etc.

Of course if she did, she'd probably be accused of trying to play on our sympathy, feel sorry for her, etc.

[Hoof Hearted]

26. Here's a blog post about a previous Letterman appearance where she talked about it

http://video1.washingtontimes.com/bellantoni/2007/08/hillary_sliming_fish_prepped_m.html

I didn't read the whole thing so I don't know if it's a positive or negative piece but it is discussed.

[UALRBSofL]

30. Thanks for the link

:)

[Bread and Circus]

21. Well, she moved to Arkansas because she failed her DC bar exam.

[RaleighNCDUer]

33. And then got a job with Rose Law Firm

because her hubby was AG.
