People are not going to start hating on SECSTATE Clinton because her husband shook hands with a guy in the green room of a late night tv show where they both appeared--in April of 2014.

(2,466 posts)Went and brought the media with her to a blight on our justice system. Met the man that ran it, asked him to answer for his practices, then took the cameras inside the prision.
Fuck her though right?
Such a double standard.

MADem
(135,425 posts)Rather than paint with such an ugly broad brush?
The only exchanges I've seen between Arpaio and Jane Sanders, she looks like a deer in the headlights. She doesn't look like she likes him, she doesn't look like she hates him--she looks nonplussed.

(135,425 posts)were both appearing on the same show.
It's really sad when someone digs up an old photo of a chance meeting--not a scheduled appointment--and tries to make more of it than it is.

(2,466 posts)You continue to lie. Sorry but didn't Clinton KNOW who else was going to be on the show? Why didn't he confront him on his anti-LGBTQ stances, why is he smiling in the photo? They look super chummy.
MADem
(135,425 posts)what I said. And calling me a LIAR? That's rude, uncivil, and against DU standards of courtesy. I suggest you check yourself.
It's obvious that you have NO sense of what is appropriate--based on your endorsement of these "dirty tricks" and your unwillingness to acknowledge that what you've done is just wrong.
Maybe you don't understand that people -- people who are ADULTS, anyway -- can disagree on very fundamental issues, but still find a basis for comity, cordiality and civility.
Do you seriously think that because Sanders appears in this photo, he agrees with all the principles espoused by these people?
Get a grip.
I suggest you try learning how to do this--from your posts it's obvious you don't have it mastered.

(2,466 posts)that has been PROVEN TO BE FALSE.
If you continue to say it then yes, you are lying.
You also understand that I'm doing this to point out the very things you brought up. This is a childish game, one that ALL DAY today was being played by the Clinton Camp.
MADem
(135,425 posts)SCHEDULED MEETING.
Obamacare covers eye exams--perhaps you need to avail yourself of one. You keep misstating what I have said, over, and over, and over again.
And what in hell does this even mean?

"Someone said something I didn't like on DU today, so I'm going to blame everyone who supports Clinton for it?"
smh!!!

(2,466 posts)SMH.
Maybe we can both agree that a single photo doesn't tell the whole story, and damning a liberal teacher from Vermont for trying to do her best to highlight the blight of people in this man's prison isn't really the best way to go about rooting for Clinton?

(2,466 posts)Yea I guess I conflated her work as all of that as a teacher. You got me!! I'm a total failure.
MADem
(135,425 posts)As for your personal assessment of yourself, I leave that entirely to you.

(2,466 posts)Then I don't really mind.
If they miss the hypocrisy then we know who we are dealing with. If the see it and ignore it then we know even more. There was a time when people were serious in there defense of their candidates and positions. Today, it's just the dumb photo op game, tomorrow who knows.

(99,714 posts)My gf is from the Philippines and consequently many of our friends are, some of whom are gay. Manny is a source of pride to Filipinos, the nation comes to a standstill when he fights. That makes his comments doubly hurtful to them.
He wasn't always like that...He "found God" after a couple of big losses. The Fundies got a hold of him. He also makes God look bad.

(99,714 posts)I live in L A. When he first made his anti-gay remarks he was told by the owner of The Grove who happens to be gay he wasn't welcome. He walked it back but now seems to have doubled down.
He endorsed Harry Reid in his tight race with Sharon Angle and pushed the large Filipino community in Vegas in his favor. He was going to endorse Hillary but I assume they told him it was unwanted because his homophobia makes him toxic.

(135,425 posts)His staff would be disgraced by these ham-handed efforts. It's embarrassing.
Looks like the fall of Rome.
