Hillary and Confederate flag

[jimnyc]

So she says there is no place for this flag in our nation. Similar democrats have said the same - including Gabby here - who claims to know everything about the flag. But where were they back in 2008 when Hillary ran for president and the flag was just AOK back then? Where was the outrage? If it's racist, it's racist - why wasn't it racist back then? If it IS racist - shouldn't she still pay, or apologize for insulting others, like so many force others to do about racial aspects in their past? People are acting like this flag is a noose in the past week. But seriously, WHERE was the outrage just 7 short years ago? She was a hypocrite now and then, and many of the folks acting outraged today are posturing shitheads.

OH, and Hubby used them during his campaigns too!!

It's called being a complete idiot, if Obama came out today waving a confederate flag gabby and others like her would all have them in front of their houses. Must be great to have to have people tell you how to think.

What's even MORE nice is that half the voting public are stupid enough to believe the blatantly obvious hypocrisy. I think "dumb as a hitchpost" works real well here.

Billary is trying to say whatever she thinks she can to not lose. How bad is it when Bernie Sanders is gaining on you in the polls? She's going to say ANYTHING she thinks people want to hear. Besides the truth.

I'd be surprised if there were official '08 confederate flag paraphernalia from Hillary, a little less surprised with Bill in '92.

Well, she refuses to answer questions about '92, and I find it VERY hard to believe that she never saw or knew about the pins in '08 at her many stops. I don't recall hearing a peep from her back then. I believe she would have lost votes in those areas, so mums the word - but now she may gain votes.

Are you saying she does whatever to get votes?

You assume widespread distribution and if she spent much time in AL or AR. Is "Travlers" a misspelling?

EDIT:

But I'm all for tying her to provable actions. :)

That merely makes her a politician.

The official one in '92 of her husband, and neither of them condemning it then, is all I need to know in order to see her hypocrisy. And before you say it, I know she's not alone in that regard.

While it does "make her a politician", yes, it means she'll do whatever to get votes - and NOT all politicians do the same.
