In fact, turning a blind eye is the opposite of leadership

She even gave them the and/or way out. You don't have to be racist to hate Muslims, gays or even women. In America, you are free to hate/fear -- (edited) - GregW Sep 10, 10:38
She didn't call out racists. She called out half of the 40-45% of the voting public supporting him. - Will Hunting Sep 10, 10:35 22
- So, she was off by about 50%? - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 10, 13:43
- She did call out the racists, and she did it very cleverly by giving people who take exception to being lumped in with racists an out. -- (edited) - znufrii, dad. Sep 10, 10:54 2
  - I worry a little that the intended audience won't read that far. -- nm - Roger More Sep 10, 10:58 1
    - sure, but that's not the point Will is trying to make. -- (edited) - znufrii, dad. Sep 10, 11:01
- I'm not a supporter of either (though I'll vote for Hillary), but I honestly can't fathom why anyone would actually *support* Trump. - JaxSean Sep 10, 10:42 4
  - Dude, stop demonizing Americans! -- nm - con_carne Sep 10, 11:03
  - every single person I know in my personal life that is voting for Trump, is racist. -- nm - Jovian Sep 10, 10:52 2
    - The cunfuzzling one I know is my daughter's friend's dad. - JaxSean Sep 10, 10:57
    - *with a handful of exceptions -- nm - Jovian Sep 10, 10:53
- so she won't be getting votes she was never going to get. oh well -- nm - shaolin fantastic Sep 10, 10:38 9
  - You just solidified them voting. Those are lost votes. - Will Hunting Sep 10, 10:41 8
    - She was never going to get these votes. -- nm - Diva Sep 10, 10:47 2
      - She didn't need to get them. She just reinforced him getting them. - Will Hunting Sep 10, 10:49 1
        
        It's never a bad thing when people tell racists that they're racist because racism is bad. - Diva Sep 10, 10:54
    - I honestly think this is why she didn't do any press conferences for so long. - JaxSean Sep 10, 10:45 1
      - Unless this was secretly recorded like Mitt's speech, she absolutely intended for this comment to go public -- nm - shaolin fantastic Sep 10, 10:48
    - They were already lost no matter what she said -- nm - shaolin fantastic Sep 10, 10:44 2
      - But solidifying their odds of voting is a valid worry -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 10:47 1
        
        I've seen a black man elected twice. I'm cautious, but I'm not afraid of these people. - Diva Sep 10, 10:52
- their Trump support was always guarenteed -- nm - Jovian Sep 10, 10:37 2
  - If I call you a racist, are you more or less likely to want to beat me? - Will Hunting Sep 10, 10:44 1
    - I think those people are coming out to vote no matter what is said about them. They're already motivated. - Roger More Sep 10, 10:51
jenbro's Tiny Asian Woman was in fact *asian*! -- nm - shaolin fantastic Sep 10, 10:35 1
- Butt what about the rest of her comments? -- nm - Bacon Sep 10, 10:37
Exactly. She would be remiss if she didn't say anything about the racisting. - Diva Sep 10, 10:32
the problem now is, instead of doubling down on it. she's going to reel it in. -- nm - Jovian Sep 10, 10:30 4
- "Hillary Clinton's campaign is standing by politically incendiary comments she made" - David Sep 10, 10:31 3
  - but the news reports makes it sound like she's apologizing and backing down, when for once she should double down - zeitgeist Sep 10, 11:29 1
    - Then they suck. -- nm - Diva Sep 10, 11:33
  - good. she definitely shouldnt. -- nm - Jovian Sep 10, 10:36
It's another instance where she gets treated grotesquely unfairly. - David Sep 10, 10:29 1
- yep. she tells the truth and is held to another standard. -- nm* - Diva Sep 10, 10:44
What I've been wondering lately is if neonazis should rebrand as "master racists" ... -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 10:28
