Hillary Clinton on Wednesday praised Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) for vetoing "discriminatory" legislation that would have allowed businesses to deny service to LGBT individuals.

“Thankfully the governor of Arizona has vetoed the discriminatory legislation that was passed, recognizing that inclusive leadership is really what the 21st century is all about,” Clinton said in the first minutes of her speech at the University of Miami, as quoted by CNN.

Brewer vetoed the disputed legislation Wednesday night. The bill, SB 1062, had drawn intense backlash from state and national politicians on both sides of the aisle as well as prominent business groups.

The former secretary of state used the veto of the Arizona bill as a launching pad to make the case for equal rights, from LGBT individuals to those with disabilities, to the young voters gathered to hear her speak.

1. do we also praise mike vick for not killing a puppy in the last 24 hours

[Walk away]

2. That really is a false and ridiculous comparison.

How can you possibly read that quote and not agree with it's content or spirit? That, of course, is a rhetorical question. All of that hatred can really bring out the bile.

4. was not really aimed at hillary--more at brewer

brewer is evil and i will not sing her praises

[HappyMe]

3. Good point.

Sorry Clinton, "inclusive leadership" had shit to do with it. It's all about the corporations that came out against it, and the money that would have been lost. Why didn't she say something before the crap was vetoed.
