So Hillary supporters: what was Bill Clinton thinking when he pardoned those violent radicals?

1. Yeah, cause she's a woman, you know, and is responsible for everything her husband does.

We're going to start putting the wives of convicts in jail, too, because they are supposed to be obedient to their husbands. Heck, let's just put the wives in jail and let the husbands go free--or are you only sexist concerning Clinton, not all women? It's only Clinton you think who has to answer for what her husband has done?

That's assuming Bill did anything improper anyway--and I don't assume it. I don't even care enough to learn the details, since Bill is not running any more than Reverend Wright is. (And I love Reverend Wright, too).

[Occam Bandage]

3. So you agree that she shouldn't be running on her husband's experience, then?

[LoZoccolo]

6. He's campaigning for her. n/t

[cali]

9. um, sorry hillworlder, but hillary doesn't get to own her husband's

admin when it's convenient and divorce it when it's not. she's been fucking shameless about running on bill's record as his "co-president" fuck the hypocrisy. hard.

[anonymous171]

10. Obama is responsible for what anyone who supports him says or does

Why not Hillary?

[Raine]

15. No...because she likes to say "we" for everything

she considers of benefit that was done in the Clinton administration. If she claims credit she also has to take responsibility and blame for what happened, she doesn't get to pick and choose what suits her.

[eridani]

16. Like Obama is responsible for everything anyone on the board of any of his organizations does? n/t

[TooBigaTent]

2. Not a HC-supporter by any means. But what was wrong with pardoning victims

of government persecution?

I suppose you also supported the murder of those nasty, disobedient anti-Americans at Kent State and Jackson State.

[LoZoccolo]

5. What are you talking about?

Do you even know who I'm talking about? Like could you name their names if I asked you for them?

[Armstead]

25. It's a matter of hypocracy

Whether Bill was right or not to pardon them is not the issue.

But when Hillary does her best to focus on Obama's very loose acquaintance with a 60's radical to score political points, then the question of her husbands pardons go to the basic question of character and consistency.

And, since she is claiming everything Bill Clinton did as her own accomplishment, she can;t then claim ignorance.

4. I see you aren't getting many takers.

Hill people are just as thick headed as she is. Makes for a perfect union. They can't justify this and don't have to because the MSM will not ask her to. I really have not seen so many people with nothing fight so hard for a candidate who will continue to rob and steal from them.....oh wait I forgot about her brother GWB.

[LoZoccolo]

7. It sunk right off the first page!

Not for long though.

[LoZoccolo]

8. It sunk again! n/t

[LoZoccolo]

13. Three times it's sunk! n/t

[DefenseLawyer]

11. That's not relevant

We're talking about Obama here. I'm not sure where you get off pointing out flaws and incongruity in Hillary's attacks on Obama, but obviously you are playing the race card. :sarcasm:

[peace13]

12. You made me look twice.

It is sad to say that some would agree with you there.

[Toucano]

14. He was thinking they were guilty only of exercising their duty. n/t

[HuffleClaw]

17. wow, that is some real digging at the bottom of the barrel

pretty desperate i'd say

[DemVet]

18. What does this have to do with Hillary?

Nothing.

Move along, people.

[ecdab]

21. Guilt by association - right? Or does that standard only apply to Obama?

[DemVet]

23. It only applies...

...if you've listened to these types of people for 20 years spewing racial hatred, called them your "mentor" and "spiritual guide", or worked with them and knew they were a terrorist and is only free due to a technicality.

Got it?

[ecdab]

26. LOL - so Hillary can associate every day with a man that pardoned

convicted terrorists from the weather underground with out a question being asked of her, but Obama can not work for an anti-poverty group if a non-convicted member of the weather underground also works for that charity. I think I have your perspective down pat - wouldn't you agree?

[LoZoccolo]

24. Why hasn't Hillary purged the violent radical sentence-commuter from her campaign?

And denounced him?

[guruoo]

19. He was thinking that they had been punished enough.

[BootinUp]

20. Read his explanation for yourself:

27. Wrong pardons.

[Perry Logan]

22. This is awful. I would never post a thread that was specifically designed to hurt Democrats.

This is a public forum, and I think we should refrain from attacking our leaders during such troubled times.

I get mad at Hillary bashers, and I retaliate when they attack her and her family. But I don't think I would ever post a lot of nasty stuff about a Democratic leader just because I was mad.

Say what you like in private conversation and correspondence. But for God's sake, use your brain and stop feeding the enemy at this forum, just because you're all worked up.

[Forkboy]

28. An admirable postion. Now, defend Obama from Hillary supporters when they do it too.

And you'll really be onto something. Because as it stands now I have yet to see you defend Obama (you may have and I missed it, I admit). :shrug:

[LoZoccolo]

29. I know that Senator Clinton is a good woman and I respect her greatly...

...but I think this is an issue that certainly the Republicans will be raising.

[Obamanaut]

30. If you mean the ones from P.R. it was probably to help her first

senate campaign would be my guess.

[LoZoccolo]

31. I didn't know about those; I was thinking about Susan Rosenberg and Linda Evans.

They were from the Weather Underground. But I guess I'd wonder why they'd pardon the other ones as well.
