Politics Enough with the Hillary cult: Her admirers ignore reality, dream of worshipping a queen

"Hillary not comfortable with using a computer to read email."

Hahahahaha!

Maybe they could have made a really big Magic 8 Ball for her, something she could shake and an email would float up to the window.

 

I'm sure Denny is on it.

 

Socialist state imploding before our eyes.

Feel the Bern!

 

They own the means of production and killed it. Not just oil, but many things within their country. Where industry wasn't taken from the rightful owners, taxes and tariffs put companies out of business. They're massively in debt. When times were good, they borrowed and borrowed and borrowed. There just isn't enough money to pay for everything promised.

Chavez provided the killing blows, it just took a little time for the country to run out of steam.

No lights. No power for anything. No food. What a disaster.

 

When asked of her accomplishments as Sec. of State, Hillary replied:

“My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I'm glad you asked! My proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly because of the opposition it faced early on, you know… the remnants of prior situations and mindsets that were too narrowly focused in a manner whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture and we didn’t do that and I’m proud of that. Very proud. I would say that’s a major accomplishment.”

A quote only @barfo could explain.

 

Pinocchio, Snow White, and Superman are out for a stroll in town one day.

As they walk, they come across a sign: "Beauty contest for the most beautiful woman in the world.

"I’m entering" said Snow White.

After half an hour she comes out and they ask her, "Well, how did you do?"

" First Place ," said Snow White.

They continue walking and they see a sign: "Contest for the strongest man in the world."

"I'm entering," says Superman.

After half an hour he returns and they ask him, "How did you make out?"

" First Place ," answers Superman. "Did you ever doubt?"

They continue walking when they see a sign: "Contest! Who is the greatest liar in the world?"

Pinocchio says "this is mine."

Half an hour later, he returns with tears in his eyes.

"What happened?" they asked.

"Who the hell is Hillary Clinton?" asked Pinocchio

AP FACT CHECK: CLINTON MISSTATES KEY FACTS IN EMAIL EPISODE

BY LISA LERER AND CATHERINE LUCEY
ASSOCIATED PRESS

 

No, I'm not clear on what she was trying to say there.

Denny, just because because you read it in an email doesn't mean it's true.

So I suppose this means Pinocchio didn't actually lose a lying contest to Hillary?

Geez, it's getting so you can't believe everything you read on S2.

Hillary Clinton did sit for an interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer which aired on 9 June 2014, after which she was criticized by some commentators (as she had been before) for not being able to provide a succinct or definitive answer when questioned about her top or proudest accomplishments as Secretary of State. But nothing like the passage quoted above was spoken by Clinton during that ABC interview.

Snopes probably isn't a great source.

Toward the end, Friedman turned to Clinton and said: "When you look at your time as Secretary of State, what are you most proud of, and what do you feel was unfinished, maybe love to have another crack at someday?"

Clinton and the audience laughed, because "another crack at someday" seemed an obvious back-door way of asking whether Clinton will run for president in 2016. But then she answered, and revealed something critically important about her intentions.

"Look, I really see my role as secretary, and in fact, leadership in general in a democracy, as a relay race," Clinton said. "I mean, you run the best race you can run, you hand off the baton. Some of what hasn't been finished may go on to be finished ..."

The answer seemed to concede that there is no single, momentous thing Clinton can point to as having achieved during her years as the nation's top diplomat. As she went on, Clinton instead linked herself to President Obama's achievements -- at least the Democratic version of them -- not in the field of foreign affairs, but at home.

 

Origins: Former First Lady and U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton served as U.S. Secretary of State for the first term of President Barack Obama's administration, stepping down from that position after four years — ostensibly to pursue a "new, lower-stress life," but in the eyes of many pundits Clinton declined to serve a second term in the Obama cabinet in order to better prepare for a 2016 presidential run of her own.

In mid-2014 many web sites began reproducing the quote referenced above, putatively a response given by Hillary Clinton on
11 March 2014 to a reporter or interviewer who asked her to identify her major accomplishments during her time as Secretary of State. Clinton's supposed answer was a stream of words that conveyed no tangible
accomplishment or anything specific; just a vague doublespeak sense of "We did things differently than those other guys."

It's doubtful that Hillary Clinton made such a statement, however. None of the numerous reproductions of this quote we've found on the Internet makes any mention of whom Hillary Clinton was speaking to when she allegedly said it or identifies the specifics of the setting in which it was supposedly uttered. (Where did this event take place? Was it a speech or an interview? Who asked her the question? What else did Hillary say on that occasion?)

We've also found no record of Clinton's having engaged in any public appearance or interview on 11 March 2014 during which she might have said what is attributed to her, nor any news account or transcript that references such a quote (from that date or at any other time). As well, the quoted words apparently didn't begin showing up on the Internet until months after they were supposedly spoken, rather than immediately afterwards.

Hillary Clinton did sit for an interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer which aired on 9 June 2014, after which she was criticized by some commentators (as she had been before) for not being able to provide a succinct or definitive answer when questioned about her top or proudest accomplishments as Secretary of State. But nothing like the passage quoted above was spoken by Clinton during that ABC interview.

Yes, she struggled, not defending her. But where is a link to the exact quote that you posted? When did she say it? Where did she say it? What else did she say? You can keep posting videos of her but that doesn't make your original quote true.
