Hillary's sense of humor.

[Uncle Joe]

It's all just one big joke.

[asuhornets]

1. Damn.. now the lady can't even laugh...n/t

[Uncle Joe]

2. It's not a question of laughing, it's a matter of what you're laughing at. n/t

[asuhornets]

8. Riiight,,,that's very important...n/t

[Fawke Em]

9. I think laughing at death, casting women into hell and hiding things is pretty important. eom

[Uncle Joe]

16. Not to mention the end of video three with Hillary laughing at O'Malley's point

regarding breaking up the big banks, the repeal of Glass Stegall and how so many people lost their jobs and homes as a result.

[840high]

51. I think so, too.

[Bohemianwriter]

19. Do you think that events that leads to international disaster...

...Is a laughing matter?

[asuhornets]

21. this pic could be from anywhere..n/t

[pinebox]

23. Except it is from here

[asuhornets]

25. what does that have to do with Hillary?

[pinebox]

27. I don't know you said it could be from anywhere so I answered :)

[Uncle Joe]

32. How did you find that?

[pinebox]

36. Google image search, here

[Uncle Joe]

40. Cool, thanks for the tip, pinebox. n/t

[pinebox]

45. welcome!

[Bohemianwriter]

24. Off course...

How silly of me.
The boat refugees from Africa in the Mediteraneran could "be from anywhere"..


Isn't that convenient to shrug off the consequences of "we came, we saw, he died"?


http://www.spectator.co.uk/2015/04/the-life-or-death-question-our-leaders-prefer-not-to-discuss/


When will Hillary or any of her supporters become honest?

[senz]

46. Never. nt

[840high]

52. honest? - never.

[Voice for Peace]

56. I don't have a link but

There is audio of her laughing about the guilt of a child rapist she defended by casting doubt on his victim's character (a 12yr old girl)

If I have mirepresented facts it's unintentional. Haven't got enough access to do research. I read this first on FB and it was disturbing, but not surprising. I see both Clintons as willing to throw anybody under the bus, by any disingenuous means, for the sake of ambition. I realize they are philanthropists, but so are the Kochs.

[asuhornets]

57. Do you realize how crazy you sound?n/t

[Voice for Peace]

59. I don't. No, sorry. Feel free to elaborate.

[Lordquinton]

61. Here's an article about it

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/hillary-clinton-stands-by-her-defense-of-1975-rape-suspect/

"When I was a 27-year-old attorney doing legal aid work at the [University of Arkansas] where I taught in Fayetteville, Arkansas, I was appointed by the local judge to represent a criminal defendant accused of rape," she said when broached with the topic in an interview with British online network Mumsnet. "I asked to be relieved of that responsibility, but I was not. And I had a professional duty to represent my client to the best of my ability, which I did."

The Washington Free Beacon recently obtained audio from a 1980s interview with Clinton in which she concedes some admittedly disquieting information about how she was able to seize on loopholes to minimize the sentence of the suspect, 41-year-old Thomas Alfred Taylor. Though he faced 30 years to life in prison, Clinton negotiated a plea deal that sentenced him to just one year in county jail and four years of probation.

In a sworn affidavit aiming to coerce a psychiatric evaluation of the sixth-grade victim, Clinton during the case nearly 40 years ago called into question the girl's emotional stability, arguing she had exhibited "a tendency to seek out older men and engage in... fantasizing." She added, citing a child psychology expert that "children in early adolescence tend to exaggerate or romanticize sexual experiences and that adolescents with disorganized families, such as the complainant, are even more prone to such behavior."

But in the recording, Clinton indicated she believed her client was indeed guilty. Heard laughing, she said the polygraph test he managed to pass "forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs."

[Voice for Peace]

63. Thanks very much. There was also somewhere an interview

with, or statement from, the victm as an adult.
This, with the Clintons' private prison coziness, destructive welfare 'reform', and I 'll go here: so many women tastelessly exploited by him; with reputations destroyed by both of them.
Her rep as women's champion is a laughable myth. Women who stayed home and baked cookies felt mocked, and diminished.

Yes she has done some good in some places, not sure how she has helped the grieving women of Iraq.

Even the Koch Bros are well known as philanthropists.
It's been an art form ever since organized crime was shrunk to a manageable problem.
From short distance it appears as one thing; upon close examination, something else entirely reveals itself.
But then who didn't love Tony Soprano?

[Lordquinton]

65. I kinda see it as something that happened too long ago to count

that she was starting out and doing the job she was assigned, but the job she did was a something very harmful to a young girl. Did she learn from hat mistake? hopefully we won't have to take that risk.

[Luminous Animal]

29. Yes. Laughing about a human being sodomized with a sword is something to laugh about.

And a special place in hell for me… a 58 year old feminist… me who has been jailed for advocating women's rights… me who has been kicked and punched and sexually assaulted while doing abortion clinic activism…

Yes. Hillary and Madeleine Albright just told me I have a special place in hell.

[asuhornets]

33. What in the hell are you talking about?n/t

[Luminous Animal]

39. What are you talking about? Do you find her laughter appropriate?

[asuhornets]

58. Oh my God?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TCJ70]

3. I don't think she expected...

...that transcript question to come back to her.

[riversedge]

5. Sanders backed off today. Why? Because he will be asked-expected to put forth HIS

speeches.

[TCJ70]

6. He didn't back off of anything...

...since he never requested them. At most he didn't join the call for them.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/07/politics/bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-banks-speeches-south-carolina-new-hampshire/

[riversedge]

13. Ok, his camp had joined in the call for them. Point taken.

[Bohemianwriter]

20. What's the problem with publisicing the speech transcrips?

Afraid that something might come out that Hillary does not want you to know?


?1438898746

[artislife]

31. I mean really...

How can anyone look at this, another addition to the stark contrast between the two and still believe that one of them adheres to the founding principles of the Democratic Party?

I couldn't choose Hillary and still think I was progressive at all.

[Bohemianwriter]

37. Haven't got the faintest clue...

But apparently Hillary and some of her supporters shrug off the international disasters caused by policies she laughs at....

[passiveporcupine]

47. Oh my

From your link:

Clinton told Tapper she voted for the bill she didn't like in 2001 as part of a deal to strike a provision about child support she said would hurt women and children. That's the way Congress works, Clinton said.

"That's the way it happens sometimes," she said. "I didn't like the bill any more than I had liked it before. It still had very bad provisions. But I also pushed hard for a deal to protect women and children. So, okay. I held my nose, I voted for it. It never became law."

When she does it it's OK...that's the way Congress works. When Bernie does it, he is making a deliberate choice to vote for something he doesn't believe in (flip flopping, or supporting something he said he doesn't support).

Way to go Hillary!

[Uncle Joe]

10. Whatever Bernie spoke about and to whomever he spoke, it will be nothing remotely resembling this.

$153 million in Bill and Hillary Clinton speaking fees, documented

(CNN)Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, combined to earn more than $153 million in paid speeches from 2001 until Hillary Clinton launched her presidential campaign last spring, a CNN analysis shows.

In total, the two gave 729 speeches from February 2001 until May, receiving an average payday of $210,795 for each address. The two also reported at least $7.7 million for at least 39 speeches to big banks, including Goldman Sachs and UBS, with Hillary Clinton, the Democratic 2016 front-runner, collecting at least $1.8 million for at least eight speeches to big banks.


http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/05/politics/hillary-clinton-bill-clinton-paid-speeches/

[riversedge]

14. No matter the amount. He would be required to release his transcripts also.

[Uncle Joe]

17. Actually the amount does matter, getting 153 million dollars is serious incentive and as the other

poster pointed out Bernie hasn't backed off anything.

[beam me up scottie]

22. What transcripts? He made less than $2000 and donated it to charity.

Bernie Sanders Comes Clean

Voters should be grateful for the government transparency laws that required Senator Bernie Sanders, a rival to Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination, to reveal how much he made last year in speaking engagement fees. The total is $1,867.42 for three appearances, a grand sum that is chump change in presidential politicking but enough for the senator to respectably donate the money to charity.

Mr. Sanders, the Senate’s Vermont independent and self-described Democratic socialist, is a far better speaker than those numbers indicate, as his weekly talk radio conversation, “Brunch With Bernie,” has shown. He has delighted leftist political junkies for the past decade with his iconoclastic broadsides. But the senator doesn’t milk his signature New England contrariness for money, not yet anyway.

Loyalists in his fledgling campaign, of course, could not be happier for the contrast with Mrs. Clinton afforded by the disclosure. She has netted more than $11 million for 51 speeches in a recent 15-month stretch, being paid as much as $315,000 per address, with some of it going to charity, according to The Hill. Top dollar for Senator Sanders was a not so hefty $850 paid for a combative exchange with Republican sympathizers on “Real Time With Bill Maher,” the HBO show where the comedian regularly invites politicians to march to a different drummer. (“As a 73-year-old socialist Jew from Vermont, he’s everything everyone is not,” Mr. Maher happily explained on the air. “We love Bernie.”)

[Bohemianwriter]

28. Clearly an indication of corruption on high level...

Why the reluctance from Hillary?

[beam me up scottie]

30. Right?

They act like he's been raking in the dough. Afaik he didn't even get paid for Thom Hartmann's Brunch with Bernie shows.

[Samantha]

64. There is just so much irony in this contest, it is unbelievable

A renegade Senator jumps into the race talking about a political revolution against the top one percent, telling the public billionaires can't have it all. His main primary opponent ends up being in the top one-tenth of that top one percent, but people do not point that out. Hillary and Bill Clinton are exactly the type of people Bernie Sanders came out swinging against.

And when Sanders started looking very successful in his campaign, the Democratic party solicited someone else to run. So far no luck, except perhaps Bloomberg who is himself a billionaire. He said he could run as an Independent and finance his own campaign. In other words, he wants to try to buy the Office!

Say it ain't so, Uncle Joe! It is too incredible, really.

Sam

[Duckhunter935]

12. he never backed off

He never asked for the transcripts. He is doing his normal thing and staying above it and letting the people and press ask. Hillary is hurting herself, why pile on.

[roguevalley]

44. his speeches. I heard he made about 1500$ and donated the

fees to charity. What about her?

[MauriceLawrence96]

4. Don't forget this one about starting wars...

[gyroscope]

7. Nice cackle

[earthside]

15. Oh my gosh!!!

That clip and the laughing about the title of her book is just ... jaw dropping.

Hillary is one weird dudette.

[grasswire]

34. this video made my jaw drop

Would you please turn it into an OP? Or I will do it, if you prefer.

[MauriceLawrence96]

48. Go for it, grasswire. nt

[840high]

53. Please do.

[malokvale77]

42. All those dead and maimed people = great business opportunities.

Heck of a job Hilly.

[Duppers]

49. I couldn't watch all of this...and...

I'm a Bernie supporter.

It's just jaw-dropping.

[pacalo]

50. She will take Dubya at his word...

[Akamai]

54. Wow! thanks for putting this together. Very, very nice!

[MissDeeds]

55. That's chilling

and disturbing.

[AzDar]

62. OMG...When you think about it, she and Madeleine and Dr. Kissinger are really three peas in a pod...

[Paka]

11. She doesn't laugh,

she cackles. Terribly offensive sound and in highly inappropriate moments.

[3star2nr]

18. Hillary's sense of humor

I don't find fascism funny.

Call me sexist

[senz]

26. What people find funny can be quite revealing.

Thanks, Uncle Joe.

[Uncle Joe]

35. You're welcome, senz.

[malokvale77]

38. "Hillary's sense of humor."

I'm still waiting for a glimpse of it.

[polichick]

41. The master at laughter as deflection.

[highprincipleswork]

43. The economy for the average American is just disastrous right now. Cue laugh track.

[UnBlinkingEye]

60. Funny times to laugh...

Odd audiences for paid speeches from a recently proclaimed populist.
