http://www.npr.org/2016/04/08/473531189/bill-clinton-recasts-black-lives-matter-protest-clash-as-exampleHe explained that he thinks the U.S. has "one remaining bigotry," of people refusing to talk to those who disagree with them. Clinton added that he didn't like it when protesters interrupted but didn't stop to listen, but acknowledged that he was guilty of the same thing when he responded to protesters at a Philadelphia campaign event on Thursday.
The new spin on the defense of Super Predator comments...
One remaining bigotry? Reaaaally. There is still plenty of sexism, racism, and homophobia going around. Every gay pride parade I go to we have Christians hogging up a prominent corner of Peachtree St. and 10th St. here in Atlanta. How Obtuse!

Clinton suggests BLM is bigoted. That should help smooth things over.

I hear you. That is a version of the standard Clinton defense: Plead guilty but say everyone does it

No, it's more like people ignoring unpleasant truths, like the fact that the drug war is a failure.

(5,204 posts)14. So if someone makes a racist or sexist or homophobic or so on comment to someone
they aren't being bigoted because they aren't refusing to talk to that person. Bill's totally lost it.

He's not dumb, so it's hard to believe that he would make mistakes like these.
