Do any animals even like Hillary?

[Cobalt Violet]

If so which ones?

[FreakinDJ]

1. That depends ...

[Sky Masterson]

2. Dogs like her

They are easy to distract and overlook a persons flaws.

[timlot]

3. Something like 2.5Million extra mammals...

ducks from tomatoes

[djean111]

16. Nah. Expected. Shrug. n/t

[Jitter65]

4. BS supporters really sounding more and more like the Trump supporters. Wonder if they are

the same?

[Sky Masterson]

6. Can't speak for any other one but myself

But I do not support Trump or Cruz but will hold my nose and vote for Hillary if forced to.

[ornotna]

101. Seems she has some very catty supporters

[msanthrope]

5. This thread is going to be epic. Think moon bombing. nt

7. If you use twitter, there's a good dogs for Clinton hashtag...

8. Daffy Duck

That's so funny!

10. Too bad thats not Hillary

11. Just can't trust Google these days. I can't wait for Sanders to fix that.

Wait! I found another!

12. Wolverines

Yeah, wolverines would like Hillary.

[Motown_Johnny]

42. As a U of M fan, I take exception to that comment.

Bernie won Michigan. We like Bernie more.


Can't you go with Honey Badger instead?

[Red Oak]

127. I owe you, and all wolverines, an apology.

They don't like Hillary either.

[riversedge]

13. Another demeaning divisive post against Hillary. Shame on you.

[randome]

15. And after the bird of peace descended in a rainbow of light to touch the podium of Sanders.

I'm telling you, God is not going to be pleased with this type of OP.

44. Unlike "Bernie is a Pacifist" or "Bernie loves the NRA"?

Double standards suck.

[Lizzie Poppet]

62. I actually agree.

I find there to be plenty (to say the least) to criticize Hillary for while sticking to the issues. I posted a rather more light-hearted dig yesterday relating to the "Birdie Sanders" moment and regretted it. I didn't delete it because it was an OP and there were conversations in the thread between others I didn't want to shut down, but I did post my regrets in the thread.

This forum has kinda soured me on DU...

really? your guy is going to lose in the end. A bird who was trapped in the building, and who was looking for a way out is your divine sign that Bernie will win the nomination.

[pdsimdars]

138. As usual

[MariaThinks]

19. excellent example of how sad the anti Hillary comments have become

reach for anything.

[pdsimdars]

24. Oh . . .. .

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. What a puerile response.

[polly7]

87. LOL. That's good! nt.

[Surya Gayatri]

109. Oooh, really, REALLY good! Incisively witty, clever as hell...

I just thought the picture was cute.

25. I laughed at the title . . . nicely done.

Every time I see your title in the list I laugh out loud. Perfect phrasing.

146. Hiya, JackRiddler!

Always am happy to see The Bard off the First Folio!

There are a lot of interesting animals and some, as you know, are more equal than others.

[uponit7771]

32. Do animals that vote count? Sanders camp still focused on unicorns

... and thinking they mean more than people's votes or delegates

[pdsimdars]

72. oh, the sting. . . . ouch

HELLO! FROM ONE LITTLE STINKER TO ANOTHER!

[Cobalt Violet]

111. soooo cute!

[Trust Buster]

35. What a cesspool of garbage DU has become. Are there zero standards here ?

[imagine2015]

36. Lighten up! People like to joke around and tease a little bit.

[Trust Buster]

38. I find that DU is not a serious political forum. What a petty thread this is. The author should be

EMBARRASSED.

[imagine2015]

48. If you can't find serious political debate and discussion on DU why are you here?

[Lizzie Poppet]

59. GD: P isn't.

My poor decision to un-Trash this horrible forum has almost completely soured me on DU. It's probably best that I'll be taking a bit over three months off after July, if Hillary gets the nod.

But both of us should probably realize that there's plenty of serious discussion here, particularly in Groups. Even about politics...

[Surya Gayatri]

108. The capacity for embarrassment requires a level of self-awareness that

is obviously NOT on display in this OP.

[Cobalt Violet]

114. I self-aware enough to know that humor heals

You should try it someday. It's great for those really hard days.

[Surya Gayatri]

118. "I self-aware...." OK, if you say so, Cobalt! LOL!

Last edited Sat Mar 26, 2016, 08:01 PM - Edit history (1)

You ARE pretty funny, but not as you intended, I suspect.

[Cobalt Violet]

113. Well I'm not embarrassed at all. In fact I made it though an otherwise hard day.

You should try humor on hard days.

[Surya Gayatri]

126. Further proof of my premise. To experience embarrassment to any degree,

even when it is obviously warranted, one must possess a minimum of self-awareness and sentience.

Very humorous, indeed.

ROFLMAO!

[Cobalt Violet]

131. blah blah blah

You make no sense to me at all but okay, humor is good!

[840high]

151. Then leave. Laughter is good.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

49. The answer is "NO!" It's no better than that RW site.

[Avalon Sparks]

136. Might be fitting then, since ...

As I see it the Front Runner Democrat nominee is a RW, at least on fiscal issues, trickle down and war cheerleading.

So it kinda is to be expected.

[Cobalt Violet]

112. I've notice a total lack of humor!

And I need a fix!

[JackRiddler]

125. Member since 2014, are you?

Welcome to how DU pretty much has been about 78% of the time. (Not a "cesspool" necessarily but certainly contentious.)

Socks was his name! Thanks for the reminder!

Are those their current dogs? One looks like a poodle. Anyone know about the other one? They're both adorable!

I remember Socks too. Cute little fella. Love that photo of him at the presidential podium. And Buddy, the chocolate lab.

[Tanuki]

51. They should.....

She has a 100% rating from the Humane Society based on her legislative history.
http://www.seventeen.com/life/school/advice/a11156/spotlight-animal-rights/
.."She cosponsored the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act, which aimed to end the slaughter of horses for their meat, and the Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act, which aimed to get rid of dogfighting, cockfighting, and all other types of animal fighting. Additionally, she has been working toward prohibiting schools from serving meat injected with antibiotics. ....

......Senator Clinton supports the Animal Welfare act, which ensures humane treatment of animals in zoos, circuses, research laboratories, and other facilities, as well as the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act, which makes sure that livestock like cattle and pigs are slaughtered painlessly rather than being cut, scalded, or skinned while still conscious.

She also supports such issues as cracking down on illegal animal fighting, preserving our wildlife, finding alternatives to animal testing, ensuring the safety of pet food, and protecting marine mammals.

------------------------------------------------------


That's just a start. How about this?

http://www.ifaw.org/united-kingdom/news/hillary-clinton-animal-welfare-organizations-meet-new-york-discuss-elephant-crisis

...The meeting launched a dialogue about how the NGO community, concerned national leaders and public figures can and must join forces to develop and implement a comprehensive, collaborative approach to tackle the global elephant poaching crisis.

Discussions followed on strategies that can effectively prevent poaching, break the trade chains through anti-trafficking efforts, and curtail the demand for ivory. We also discussed the need to secure greater financial and technical support to address the crisis and how a Clinton Global Initiative commitment could advance these strategies.

Mrs. Clinton showed a genuine passion for taking on the issues of illegal wildlife trafficking and poaching and commended the group for coming together to identify concrete ways to protect the world’s remaining elephants. She stressed the security implications of illegal wildlife trafficking, and pointed to the ongoing commitment of the Obama administration to address the crisis. She agreed to do whatever she can to assist with efforts to protect elephants and other species from illegal wildlife trafficking.

IFAW’s staff, supporters and partners can be rightly proud that IFAW was invited to join with senior-level representatives from WCS, the African Wildlife Foundation, Association of Zoos and Aquaria, Conservation International, National Geographic, World Wildlife Fund, Save the Elephants, International Conservation Caucus Foundation, IUCN, Clinton Global Initiative, The Nature Conservancy and TRAFFIC to identify collective strategies to save elephants."

[21st Century Poet]

76. What are Homo Sapiens if not animals?

We just happen to be the most intelligent of animals but animals nonetheless.

[BernieforPres2016]

54. Bald eagles probably like her

Bald eagles are notorious for letting osprey or bears do the work of catching a fish, then chasing the osprey until it drops the fish or swooping in and snatching it from the bear while it isn't looking. Hillary sees which of Bernie's proposals are playing well and then takes them for herself. And she feeds off the scraps from Wall Street and the rest of the top 0.1%.

Here's what Ben Franklin had to say about bald eagles in a letter to his daughter:

"For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perched on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him."

[kerry-is-my-prez]

55. Misogynistic thread - Why so much hatred and derision towards a Dem candidate? Sickening....

This looks like something out of free republic.

Yes, I am using the word misogyny here. For people to have this much anger and derision towards a woman makes it look like many of you have issues towards women. Then there's the mob mentality.

Yes, I am a therapist and yes I am being an armchair psychologist. One CAN label a mob.

[Lizzie Poppet]

56. You keep using that word.

By your reasoning, nasty posts about Bernie Sanders would be antisemitism. I trust you see the problem with your assertion...

[Sky Masterson]

60. Why do so many Hillary Supporters hate Jewish men?

.

[Lizzie Poppet]

63. What you did there...

...I see it.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

69. Nice try.....

[kerry-is-my-prez]

68. I don't see the same downright PERSONAL hate and derision towards him like we do towards Hillary

We're talking about whether ANIMALS like her or not for god's sake. NOTHING substantial or about her policies. PERSONAL attacks.

[Lizzie Poppet]

71. As I replied upthread, I don't care for the OP, either.

I made a post along similar lines yesterday, albeit much, much more light-hearted (I thought...), and regretted doing so.

There's plenty of things to ding Hillary on that are indeed issue-related (and countless threads that do so). There's no need for this kind of thing.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

75. Thank you Lizzie.

[Sky Masterson]

58. Could be her voting record

She has earned the criticism.
Its nothing to do with her femaleness.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

70. This thread was about ANIMALS not her voting record....

[Ino]

78. And what is misogynistic about that? (nt)

[kerry-is-my-prez]

98. If you cannot understand what is misogynistic about this thread, sorry, can't help you. I am a

therapist, but not a miracle worker......

[Ino]

99. In other words... nothing, but you can't admit it.

Ridiculous assertion.

[grossproffit]

61. Yep. It's disgusting.

[MisterP]

74. why so much hatred and derision toward a Jewish Dem candidate, then?

[840high]

153. crap.

[Tanuki]

57. Maybe it can't compare with having a bird fly up to the podium, but

the 2014 Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting included these two sessions, among many others. I hope that supporters and detractors alike will take a moment to click the link and take a look at the scope of the programs this organization is involved in. I have seen far too many ill-informed posts dismissing the CGI as some kind of pay-to-play slush fund.

Combatting Wildlife Crime: Saving the Rhino from Extinction

Dinner hosted by United Postcode Lotteries

Session Features: Off-Site Location • Pre-Registration Required
"The United Postcode Lotteries—together with the Peace Parks Foundation and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Netherlands—commit at this year’s CGI Annual Meeting to tackle rhino population decline using a multi-pronged, systems-based approach implemented through the new and innovative African Rhino Protection Programme. This approach includes fighting rhino poaching criminal syndicates head on, as well as providing habitat and species protection support to southern African countries and their conservation agencies. A panel of experts and advocates will share their experiences protecting the animals, both on the ground and globally, in the fight against highly-organized wildlife crime syndicates.
Moderator:
Marieke van Schaik, Managing Director, Dutch Postcode Lottery

Elephants Action Network

Session Features: Collective Strategies • Networking • Commitment Development • Interactive

Members of the Elephant Action Network will come together to discuss their CGI Commitments to Action—and the immediate next steps for 2015—needed to halt the poaching and killing of African elephants and to curb the rising demand for their ivory. In this session, CGI members will examine the progress made over the last year and efforts currently underway, focusing specifically on the following topics:

• Stop the Poaching: What are the available resources in areas of advanced technology, training, and capacity building to support anti-poaching efforts?
• Stop the Trafficking: How can we achieve better intelligence gathering through technology and training to cripple ivory supply chains in Africa and Asia?
• Stop the Demand: Who is purchasing ivory in China, how do we halt the rise in ivory purchases, and how can we use available data to develop and implement more efficient demand reduction strategies?

65. the ones qualified to vote, it looks like

those that like Hillary most appear to be Democratic primary voters.

[pdsimdars]

139. Then why did she LOSE so bad yesterday. . . . .

Like 75% to ONLY 24%
OUCH!!!!!

[JohnnyRingo]

66. Democratic Party Animals.

The kind that vote, apparently.

It's been fun watching Berniacs claim all but Divine Intervention over a stray avian migrant, but it's getting to where there's so much bird shit on the windshield they can no longer see where the campaign is headed.

[pdsimdars]

140. You mean the ones who beat Obama's 2008 vote record and gave Bernie 75% to 25% wins over Hillary

[JohnnyRingo]

150. yeah

Good luck

[Ruby the Liberal]

67. Vampire Squids seem to be fond of her. nt

[VulgarPoet]

77. Warhawks and Blackwater supporters.

Oh, whoops, you meant things that weren't humans; despite humans being nothing more than another animal with inklings of presumed superiority.

[21st Century Poet]

79. Maybe this question should have been phrased differently.

I suppose that this post is intended to make people think about animal welfare, global warming, hunting and environmental policies and things like that but I think it is phrased rather poorly and can be easily misunderstood. I suggest you add some context to the original post instead of just throwing a weird sounding question like that?

I guess the reason for phrasing it the way you did is to be humorous but many people here are very touchy and easily offended so I also suggest phrasing your humour in a different way.

Regards.

[grossproffit]

80. No, it's about a bird.

[21st Century Poet]

81. Thank you for the update.

I had not heard about the bird incident yet. Thank you for the update.

Taken in that context, it is quite obvious that Clinton supporters should not take this thread so seriously.

[Kalidurga]

88. Well at least they take something seriously.

[cherokeeprogressive]

86. Not if they're sentient.

[Arugula Latte]

89. I'll never forgive the Clintons for the way they treated Socks.

Assholes.

[Beacool]

91. Yeah, how did they treat him?

They gave him to Betty Currie. When they left the WH Chelsea was still in college. Betty Currie had become attached to the cat. Her husband had passed away and she was lonely. The Clintons gave Socks to her when she asked to adopt him, he wasn't dumped as some media outlets reported.

[Arugula Latte]

93. Who gives away a long time pet, a member of the family?

Disgusting.

If someone asked to take one of my kitties I'd say, "Are you fucking crazy?"

Shelters are filled with beautiful kitties needing good homes.

[Beacool]

96. They thought of what was best for the cat.

Hillary and Chelsea had picked up Socks when he was a kitten and found him outside her piano teacher's house. Chelsea named him Socks. Bill suffers from quite a few allergies, one is to cats. The cat had a good life with the Clintons. Once Chelsea went away to college, Socks would hang out with Betty Currie and she became quite attached to him. By the time the Clintons left the WH, Betty's husband had passed away. She asked the Clintons if she could keep Socks. After consulting with Chelsea, they decided that he would have a better life with Betty. There's nothing wrong with giving a pet to someone who will love him if you know that it's better for the pet. Bill spends most of his time traveling for his foundation. Hillary had just gotten elected to the Senate. If they had kept Socks, his only company would have been the SS and look how well they took care of Buddy. He was under their care when Buddy ran out of the house in Chappaqua and was killed by a car. I think that Socks was probably very happy with Betty. Besides, they kept in touch with Betty. It's not as if they erased her and him from their lives.

[840high]

154. Yep

Someone from the BS side has been spreading lies. And you just proved it.
