Clinton: 'Not relevant' last time I went to church, fired gun
Posted: 05:00 PM ET

Watch a clip of Sen. Clinton's Sunday press conference.

SCRANTON, Pennsylvania (CNN) – After a weekend spent making direct appeals to gun owners and church goers, Hillary Clinton said Sunday a query about the last time she fired a gun or attended church services "is not a relevant question in this debate” over Barack Obama’s recent comments on small town Americans.

“We can answer that some other time,” Clinton said at a press conference held in a working class neighborhood here. “This is about what people feel is being said about them. I went to church on Easter. I mean, so?”

1. So church isn't relevant? Same with 2nd Amendment rights? HOW ELITIST!

[JackORoses]

2. the truth is not relevant in Hillary's mind

[tritsofme]

3. I haven't fired a gun in over twenty years.

Its not relevant to my support of the 2nd amendment.

[flor de jasmim]

4. I couldn't believe they let her get away with that!

[hisownpetard]

28. Hillary wants me to vote for her? Well, we can talk about that another time. Right now,

you'll have to excuse me while I step into the voting booth to vote for Obama...

[rug]

5. I see. This is really about the last time Clinton went to church.

[jody]

6. HC has messed up big time re RKBA and BO is even more vulnerable on that issue because of his past

association with the Joyce Foundation and the Violence Policy Center (VPC).

Joyce funds VPC.

Would an anti-abortion group select a pro-abortion person for its president? NO!

Would an anti-handgun group select a pro-handgun person for its president? NO!

[GarbagemanLB]

7. "We can answer that some other time." WHAT? What a stupid thing to say...lol.

[bigbrother05]

8. What a fucking Ho'llery

[PeaceNikki]

9. IS it relevant?

:shrug:

[MercutioATC]

16. It is when you make a point of stressing it in an earlier speech.

This wasn't some off-the-wall ambush. It was a question that directly related to speeches she's given in the last 2 days.

[C_U_L8R]

10. So ??? Church isn't relevant???

Oh Hillary, do you want your phrase twisting dished right back in your face ???

[DemGa]

11. It's a silly question and not relevant -- NT

[BeyondGeography]

12. It will be so refreshing when you're no longer relevant, Hillary

[SoCalDem]

13. some other time...as in after you all get me in the WH

:rofl:

she's a pip, that Hillary:)

downright HILLarious

[MercutioATC]

14. My god...she really doesn't believe there's a record of anything she's said or done, does she?

...or, she thinks the American people are abysmally stupid.

She talks about Obama "not owning up to" and "not explaining" his remarks, completely ignoring that she has failed to do the same for a half-dozen issues herself.

Then, she implies that she won Texas.

Finally, when questioned about her "I go to church" and "I've gone hunting" statements, she refuses to answer...saying that the question isn't relevant.

I know there are people who support this woman, but HOW???

[Willo]

20. And don't forget the piece about giving ammo to the repubs.

She's a piece of work.

[dailykoff]

15. Which Easter?

Like, back in the last century when she and Bill were hot shit?

[Forkboy]

17. Now watch this drive!

[guyanakoolaid]

26. LOL

You've earned only the second time I've ever used that acronym, but it summed up Hillary's attitude so well

[gristy]

18. Good question!!

a query about the last time she fired a gun or attended church services :applause:

[BumRushDaShow]

19. "We can answer that some other time"

:rofl:

TRANSLATION: I gotta make up a new lie story once Mark Penn checks his damn phone messages so he can call me back and help me sort out the details!

(I can't believe she friggin' said what she said at that press conference. Let's see if the dumbass media call her on this and highlight her shilling for gun control back in 1999 and whether they will delve into her cult "church")

[City Lights]

21. Listen up, Hill, YOU don't get to decide what is and is not relevant in

this debate. We, the people, get to make that decision. Got it?

You sicken me, Hillary!

[kevinmc]

29. She sounds a little testy ...... must have had a few to many last night. n/t

[Divernan]

38. I know! A straight shot of Crown Royal? Very strong stuff - 40% alcohol

I once ordered a Kir Royale in a San Juan restaurant (that's 5 parts champagne and part Creme de Cassis - very refreshing). The waiter brought me a tumbler with some dark liquid over ice. I took a taste and spit it back in the glass. I said to my Sig. Other, god, I don't know what that is, but it sure is BITTER!

Turned out the waiter thought I had ordered a Crown Royal.
Guess it's an acquired taste - but I don't know any women who drink it.

[OzarkDem]

22. She's right, focus on more important issues

like the economy, the war, health care reform, etc.

[GarbagemanLB]

24. like bittergate? Did you start any threads today about the war, health care reform? Or just bitterga

te? :rofl: :rofl:

Pot, meet kettle.

[Warren DeMontague]

36. Oh, that's rich.

Yeah. More important issues like whether Obama wore a flag pin or a turban while his Reverend said something offensive.

[Voice for Peace]

23. "We're still looking for an explanation from Senator Obama" -- that's good!

That's good news!

[AllentownJake]

25. She keeps forgetting

Its not 1996. You don't get away with this shit anymore without the press asking you the gotcha question.

[nichomachus]

34. As John Stewart said re: Bush

Don't they know we're taping this stuff?

[bigbrother05]

27. What a hypocritical Bitch

stir it up, and then say it's not relevant in this debate

[Lucky 13]

30. NOT RELEVANT?!?!

Are you fucking kidding me? Gore? Carter? Time for you to step up for us please.

[AZBlue]

31. Au contraire, Your Majesty!

[nichomachus]

32. Leader of Million Mom March against guns channels Charlton Heston

[TechBear_Seattle]

33. Would that be the royal "we"?

What kind of person refers to herself in the plural?

[Warren DeMontague]

35. Right. I just want to get my cheap shot pandering sound bite in, and not be called on it.

"This is about trying to sink Obama's campaign with another fusillade of meaningless bullshit. Why are we talking about ME?" :shrug:

[ampad]

37. Wait

What is she going to say when they ask her about her stance on guns in NY state? :rofl: Wow the queen has stepped in it big time because I guarantee this is going to come back to haunt her in some shape or form. Someone is definitely going to call her on church not being relevant.

[dkf]

40. Yeah, what happens when she runs for senate again...

Or maybe we have seen the last of her?

[dmr]

39. She's PROJECTING her flaw onto Obama!

One of the biggest complaint about this woman is how she has belittled another Democrat, while at the same time, boosting the Republican that is running for the same office. As she desperately tries to hang on, she makes it more and more easier for another Republican to be the next president. This has happened more than once, or even twice, that I am aware of.

What does she do in this question and answer session? She doesn't take ownership for her own tricks, but instead, projects that it is another Democrat - Obama, who denigrates the Democrats.

“We have been working very hard to make it clear that we have millions of Democrats who are church going and gun-owning,” she said. “And we are tired of having Republicans, or frankly our own Democrats, give any ammunition to Republicans because what happens then is Republicans take advantage of the situation.”

Damn, so many times I have said that Hillary and her people have easily given ammunition to the other side. And, here she is projecting. She has learned the Republican tricks well. Too bad she hasn't use those tricks, schemes and energy against the Bush* mal-administration's bullshit that led us into the quagmire that they put us all in.

This just pisses me off!
:grr:

[merh]

41. The clip is disgusting.

She is such a liar and a hypocrite

[Frank Booth]

42. Wow. What a gaffe!

It's always one step forward, two steps back with her.
