Hillary Clinton says- GOD BLESS US RICH PEOPLE

[NJmaverick]

That one comment exposed the true thinking of Hillary Clinton. After 16 months of lies about how she is for the working class and the middle class, in an unguarded momement let her true mindset escape.

[4themind]

1. When did she say this?

details por favor

[NJmaverick]

2. She said in when she went on Bill OLielly

I added the youtube video to the main post.

[4themind]

22. Gracias-nt

[vi5]

3. I gotta be honest with you....

...I hate her and I'm probably not going to vote for her if she's the nominee. But my interpretation of that clip and that quote was her more saying that God has blessed rich people and it's their responsibility to give back.

Admittedly I'm at work and had to have the volume low so maybe I'm wrong. I'm the first to want to jump on the reprehensible things she does and says but I'm not sure this one really qualifies.

[NJmaverick]

5. How do you explain her follow up comment of "we deserve"?

[vi5]

10. Honestly, I'll have to watch it at home....

..when I can turn up the volume more clearly and watch the whole interview.

Like I said I can't stand anything about her at this point and could list a million things she's done and said that infuriate me. But what little I heard at low volume didn't really irk me. But again, I'll have to hear it in a clearer context.

[mattclearing]

73. She was saying god bless us rich people, we deserve the opportunity to pass it on

to future generations...it sounded like an estate tax repeal pitch was coming.

[NJmaverick]

78. Like Chelsea?

[mattclearing]

79. She'll make a great right-wing Democratic President someday.

Maybe she'll make up for her Mom's tanking.

[NJmaverick]

80. Doesn't she work on Wall Street?

[mattclearing]

83. Can the board of Wal-Mart be far behind? n/t

[redqueen]

108. Yup - hedge fund group.

Chelsea Clinton joins New York hedge fund
Avenue Capital Group founder has been big contributor to Democrats

[CTyankee]

90. I thought she was being sarcastic myself. But then I just saw the clip and not the

entire interview. It strains my imagination to think that she and Bill have reversed themselves on the estate tax issue. I'veheard Bill as much as say that he is getting a tax break that less affluent people don't get and that it is wrong...

[NJmaverick]

92. They always had an elitist mentality, now that they have wealth

they are thinking that is't a right and they deserve to keep it all and pass it on to Chelsea

[MonkeyFunk]

93. she opposes repeal of the estate tax

[mattclearing]

94. I expected as much, but she said we deserve to be able to pass our wealth on

to the next generation, and to Bill O'Reilly, of all people. Pretty weird.

[tabasco]

102. You can't believe what she says.

You have to wait until she does something.

[NJmaverick]

110. Very true, time and again she has shown to be less than trustworthy

[MonkeyFunk]

126. bullshit

[tabasco]

128. Exactly!

[helderheid]

95. Honestly, I think she had the best intentions with that comment but my HEAVENS did she execute it

poorly!!

[NJmaverick]

107. Well when you dance with the devil (bill olielly)....

[harun]

130. I think she had flopped between

"Yes, I am rich and rich people who have been blessed with so much need to help those in need"

and

"Yes, I am rich just like you Bill so why don't you consider me to be looking out for your interests".

Which left it as..... WTF?

[TrogL]

8. That's a blatant appeal to the "word faith" crowd

who aren't going to vote Democratic anyway.

[Freedom Train]

18. Yes, you got it right

Whereas the OP did not.

[NJmaverick]

20. Shame Hillary disagrees with you, as she talked about what the wealthy, like her "deserve"

[bowens43]

31. you are being dishonset .

posting another out of context quote doesn't make your original out of context quote any more true.

[NJmaverick]

32. She let her mind set of being ultra wealthy slip out in that heated momement

It shows her elitist attitude. Which wouldn't be an issue, if SHE hadn't raised it.

[bowens43]

36. You're distorting what she said.

I can't believe that you have put me in the position of defending hillary.

[NJmaverick]

40. If you feel that way, here is her EXACT words "rich people... GOD BLESS US"

That's EXACTLY what she said

[NotThisTime]

56. Those are the exact words she used, spin them anyway you like

[NJmaverick]

34. Was Hillary being dishonest, when she quoted Obama out of context

or is she except from the standards you set for others?

[ecstatic]

25. I wouldn't mind twisting her comment out of context, but I agree with you

She expressed views that I want to hear out of the super rich: That this country doesn't work unless EVERYONE is doing well. Being mega rich in a third world like country just isn't the same.

[NJmaverick]

27. Are you saying it's like when Hillary twisted Obama's words with the Bitter cmments?

Could her thoughts of her being ultra wealthy show who the true "elitist" is?

[ecstatic]

72. I really hope a bold Obama surrogate takes this on

I doubt anyone will though. Many O supporters tend to be fair with these types of things, and that's why HRC gets away with everything.

[NJmaverick]

77. MoveOn.org should run with it, they owe her big time

for the way she betrayed them. I would give them $100 if they did do it.

[bowens43]

4. This is taken completely out of context.

I am as anti-hillary as they come but this is nonsense. What you are implying , is not what she said or what she meant. That was obvious.

[NJmaverick]

6. How do you explain her follow up comment of "we deserve"?

[bowens43]

23. Did you even listen to it?

Her implication was that the wealthy should shoulder a larger portion of the burden. Don't start using the same tactics we have seen from the hillary campaign. Truth is enough, we don't need dishonest spin to win this nomination.

[City Lights]

35. She's right that the wealthy should shoulder a larger burden, however, I

don't believe God uses money to bless people.

[bowens43]

38. she didn't say that God uses money to bless people.

seriously you don't have to resort to rovian/republican tactics to support Obama.

[City Lights]

46. I don't think she should have brought God's blessings into the discussion.

Ya know what...rich people...God bless us...we deserve all the opportunities to make sure our country and our blessings continue to the next generation.

I think she could have (and should have) made her point without tying the responsibility of the haves and have-mores to God's blessings.

That's all I'm saying.

[NJmaverick]

55. well poor people cling to their guns, the rich ones to their money and both to God

[grantcart]

11. The context? The context is she is on O'Reilly's show.

[NJmaverick]

12. That is a good point

[rodeodance]

87. The point is Hillary Rocked that gasbag into the stars!!

[NJmaverick]

88. If by rocked, you mean played for a fool

I agree

[EnviroBat]

13. I have to agree with you.

Let's not start reaching the same way her supporters do. This was taken out of context, and I "get" what she's saying.

[NJmaverick]

15. I'll ask you the same question, what about her following with "we deserve"?

[flowomo]

17. right...

she said it while vigorously defending her plan to raise their taxes. The OP is an example of exactly the kind of thing that so many of Hillary's opponents on this board decry.

[NJmaverick]

19. Be nicer if she blessed the working class she CLAIMED to support

she PRETENDED to be blue collar while looking for votes in PA. Yet it was crystal clear whe considers herself amoung the wealthy elite and not one of the people that work for a living.

[bowens43]

33. I agree

but that doesn't mean you have to distort what she said to make a point.

[NJmaverick]

37. Hey she said Obama is the elitist and out of touch with the working folk

My feeling is the person blessing wealthy people like herself and talking about what wealthy people deserve, is the elitists who is out of touch. You can cry about worms touching hillary, after she opened up the can of them.

[bowens43]

41. and that nakes it ok for you to distort what she said in an interview?

Obviously, you have no idea what Obama's campaign is all about.

[NJmaverick]

42. "Rich People.....GOD BLESS US" Those are her EXACT words

[JTFrog]

7. The World Is Our Oyster,

Which I with sword will open.

[EFerrari]

9. Isn't that the central tenet of the Fellowship? n/t

[casus belli]

14. God blessed her with exceptional coffee machine operating skills.

And an uncanny ability to insert her own foot in her mouth.

[City Lights]

16. Sounds like she believes God's blessing is monetary.

:wtf:

[NJmaverick]

21. I am sure she considers her vast wealth a God given right

[grantcart]

24. "we deserve all of the. . . . " she almost ended her campaign right there

[NJmaverick]

28. It did sound like a Macca momement

Few people like to hear how wealthy people think they are

[greguganus]

26. Hillary and OLielly 2 rich peas in a pod. n/t

[geiger]

29. reminds me of "let them eat cake." eom

[NJmaverick]

30. It did smack of elitism didn't it?

[geiger]

43. lip-smacking elite

icing, anyone?

[casus belli]

60. Hey, at least she's giving back...

Her proposal for suspension of the $.18/gallon federal tax is going to change people's lives.

:sarcasm:

[NJmaverick]

63. Yes God Bless Hillary and the other rich people!

They are the best!

[Evergreen Emerald]

39. Yesterday you hated her because she did not know RedBull

And every day there is a new low on DU as our dignity and common sense and any reasonableness we may have once had swirls down the porcelain bowl.

To twist and distort her sentence to create another reason to bash the progressive Senator is....Obama supporters on DU.

[NJmaverick]

44. QUOTE- "Rich People... GOD BLESS US"

no distortion there, no more than she distorted Obama's bitter comments anyway

[Evergreen Emerald]

45. OHMYGOD you just said "rich people god bless them" you are evil!!!!

Hmmmm...context is everything.

[NJmaverick]

50. There really isn't a context that would make that sound much better, than the "bitter" remarks

I will say this though, in keeping with the Golden Rule, I will treat Hillary, like she treated Obama.

[Evergreen Emerald]

62. What is the weather in your fantasy world?

The way you have attempted to twist the two issues is rather amusing. Are you now pretzel shaped?

[NJmaverick]

64. "Rich people... GOD BLESS US"

Can't wait to see the ads with that quote.

[Hope And Change]

47. K & R!

:kick:

[Blue_Roses]

48. that's gonna hurt her and somebody will be running an ad...

I think she meant it as the "rich people" should give back and help out the "little people" but it didn't come across as that. Billy O. wrangled her ...

[NJmaverick]

53. Like McCains 100 years in Iraq

[Freedom Train]

49. Sad...

You really have to wonder about the mental health and intellectual capacity of those who have recommended this. No wonder they fall for the hope/change platitudes if they don't possess the ability to put even these few words in the context of the greater sentence.

[NJmaverick]

54. LOL! Hillary would be proud of this thread

This is how she thinks politics should be done, She showed it with her elitist accusations.

[1776Forever]

51. The true elitists! Hillary & Bill - Bilderberg Members & Proud of it!

http://www.oldthinkernews.com/Articles/oldthinker%20news/hillary_clinton.htm

[1776Forever]

52. Sounds just like Bush when he said - The Haves and Have mores!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn4daYJzyls

Some People call you the elite - I call you my base!

And who does support Hillary really? Ask John Edwards! He will tell you!!!!

[NJmaverick]

57. There's a reason Edwards didn't endorse Hillary, even though he never personally hit it off with

Obama

[1776Forever]

67. Little known fact was that Edward went to the Bilderberg's meeting in 2004

just before the election. I have wondered about that. Of course the Bilderberg's are a tin hat issue to some degree but still they are a group that does "stick together".

[ElsewheresDaughter]

58. you are so jaded with Hillary hate....she didn't say it like that. you take crap out of context

[NJmaverick]

59. I figure if she could call Obama "elitist" comments like "rich people... GOD BLESS US" deserve

just as much scrutiny. This will make a great anti Hillary commericial. She is showing that the right wingers will eat her alive if she some how steals the nomination

[BlueIdaho]

61. Fuck those lever pullers - Pour me more champaign! nt.

[NJmaverick]

65. Yes damn those party activists and their peasant mentalities

[Texas Hill Country]

66. In the south... a statement that begins with "God Bless..." is usually sarcastic and dismissive

[NJmaverick]

68. Do they usually add the word "us"?

[madrchsod]

69. pass what to the next generation?

monetary blessing from god? rich people are going to feed and house the next generation?

just what is she going to pass to the next generation?

[NJmaverick]

71. She is thinking about passing her wealth to Chelsea

[City Lights]

75. God bless 'Murika's deficit!

Pass it on.

[ccharles000]

70. she meant that she is blessed to be able to give more.

[NJmaverick]

74. I like that picture, it just needs a good caption

RICH PEOPLE... GOD BLESS US!

[ccharles000]

81. I don't think you fully understand what she meant.

[NJmaverick]

82. For someone that is selling herself as a skilled fighter, ready to take on the Republicans

She pretty careless with her choice of words. After all, that like is better than the 100 years in Iraq line, from McCain

[SoonerPride]

76. DISTRACTION

not interested

[casus belli]

84. "God bless us...every one." -Tiny Hill n/t

[SeaLyons]

85. "God Bless Us Rich People" and

God Bless you, nomad1776, for posting this ridiculous criticism.

[NJmaverick]

86. Sorry, was that elitist of me? Am I being like a party activist?

Sorry but when you support Hillary, your criticism REEKS of hypocrisy? Or maybe I am just bitter

[SeaLyons]

96. yea, you're just bitter!!!!

[NJmaverick]

97. Guess that means Hillary was wrong about that as well

there are angry bitter people out there

[SeaLyons]

98. no, just "bitter" Obama supporters on this board...

[NJmaverick]

100. ahh no, you need to start owning up to your candidate's deeds

this quote is EXACTLY like Obama's bitter comments. Hillary went to town on those comments. She personally twisted and distorted them and falsely accused Obama of being an elitist. Now you are whining that me, a nobody DUer, is doing the EXACT same thing. What happened to the rules applying equally to everyone?

[rodeodance]

89. God bless you ---He is a forgiving god. I hope he has mercy on your purposeful distortion.

[NJmaverick]

91. You mean like distorting Obama's words to claim he is elitist?

I guess I must be bitter

[mtnsnake]

99. Just one more thread that belittles the Clintons by presenting misleading information.

Oh well, it's par for the course for this place. Everyone is used to it by now.

[NJmaverick]

101. Sorry, it's not YOUR CANDIDATE distorting Obama's words, like she did with the bitter comments

Sucks when others act like your candidate, doesn't it?

[mtnsnake]

104. Whatever your interpretation is of that, does it make it right for you to distort things here?

[NJmaverick]

105. No need to distort, I will just quote "Rich people... GOD BLESS US"

[mtnsnake]

120. Well it's not quite like that in your OP, but whatever. Im not losing any sleep over it

[NJmaverick]

125. The paraphrasing is pretty accurate

[tabasco]

103. Yes, because all blessings come from rich people!

Thank God for the rich people who pass on the blessings from God to us little people!

Damn right it exposed her. The Clintons have been utterly corrupted by their wealth and power.

[Arugula Latte]

115. Yep, we get rich people's dribble ... sometimes.

We should be grateful for their dribble. Yay, dribble! :bounce:

[NJmaverick]

124. Wasn't that the basis of the trickle down economic theory?

[catnhatnh]

106. Marie Antoinette...

...was just suggesting an alternative diet and the dirty peasants took that "out of context" too.........

[NJmaverick]

112. lol!

[L0oniX]

119. LMAO

...just watched the movie last night on Dish Network.

[PBS Poll-435]

109. Are You Kidding?

Talk about "out of context."

[NJmaverick]

111. Like Hillary with the "elitist" accusation?

Are you saying that what she did was wrong? or is it only wrong when others do it?

[PBS Poll-435]

116. Do you understand to the context, or not?

And you do know she accused THE REMARKS of being elitist, not Obama. Right?

[NJmaverick]

127. That wasn't the impression she gave

She may have played word games, to leave her that out, but her intentions were crystal clear.

[NoodleyAppendage]

113. A 527 Needs to IMMEDIATELY craft this into an AD and blanket Indiana and NC airwaves.

It's high time that Mrs. Selfish DINO is DESTROYED politically.

J

[NJmaverick]

114. I agree, if the tables were turned she wouldn't hesitate

[NoodleyAppendage]

122. Exactly. If done well, it should be insulated from Obama but still hammer home that she's eltist.

I'd love to see an ad detailing her financial fortune and how she has consistently supported corporate special interests, and then end the ad with that sound bite from O'Reilly. She would be toast...if they would do it.

[NJmaverick]

123. It would be fitting if MoveOn.org did it

After what she said about them

[NoodleyAppendage]

131. Agreed. We think alike. MoveOn.org has the cash, too. n/t

J

[TragedyandHope]

117. Amen!

[L0oniX]

118. Hillarat ...a member of the "haves and the have mores" just like Bush.

She running for president ...and she can't even operate a coffee machine. :grr: My bet is that she can't even operate a gas pump either. :wtf:
