DES MOINES, Iowa — Hillary Clinton on Monday called Mike Huckabee’s remark about how President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran would send the Israelis “to the ovens” “offensive” and said it had gone too far.

“Comments like these are offensive and have no place in our political dialogue. I am disappointed and I am really offended personally,” Clinton said after touring a transit station in Des Moines. “I know Governor Huckabee. I have a cordial relationship with him. He served as governor of Arkansas. But I find this kind of inflammatory rhetoric totally unacceptable.”

In an interview with Breitbart News published Saturday, Huckabee said that Obama is “naive” in trusting Iran to uphold its part of the deal. “By doing so, he will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven.”


“One can disagree with the particulars of the agreement to put a lid on the nuclear weapon’s program of Iran, and that is fair game. But this steps over the line and it should be repudiated by every person of good faith and concern about the necessity to keep our political dialogue on the facts and within suitable boundaries,” Clinton added on Monday.....................................

8. is this all we got?

“Comments like these are offensive and have no place in our political dialogue.

not just Hillary, not just this topic, but is this how we strike back at these idiots. We need more Alan Grayson, Anthony Weiner type bigmouths in our party.

9. Very restrained response considering the provocation but the RW will call her shrill

anyway. If the Dems do it, it is an "angry attack." If the GOP does it, it is dialogue.

11. well said by the former sos

i do think all the dems have to walk a fine line between calling out this wacko bullshit and getting bogged down in a war of words. because these psychos get like a dog with a bone. i think all the dems should make a statement like this (if they haven't already), and move on.

if we spend too much time engaging them, it makes their position seem reasonable instead of war hawk looney toon bullshit.

12. When will Mike Huckabee apologise to everyone? or does he always make 'jokes' about ovens &Jews?
