The Daily Caller's Phony Assertion That Hillary Clinton Compared Marriage, Childhood To Slavery
LIS POWER
The Daily Caller misrepresented an academic essay Hillary Clinton penned in 1973 to suggest that the former secretary of state views marriage as a valid comparison to slavery. However, the context of Clinton's essay makes clear she was discussing the evolving legal status of various groups such as women, slaves and children over time.
Clinton's 1973 essay for the Harvard Educational Review "raises serious questions about what kind of America Clinton foresees," The Daily Caller claimed on June 9, because in it Clinton "compared the institution of marriage and the dependency of childhood to slavery." As evidence, the conservative blog pointed to where Clinton discussed how the "basic rationale for depriving people of rights in a dependency relationship is that certain individuals are incapable or undeserving of the right to take care of themselves" and noted:

(13,218 posts)Never talks about Hillary without misquoting, and misrepresenting her. They seem to have found the repiggies playbook and in particular they especially like the one rule about always act as though you're psychic and know what unscrupulous reason motivated her. And while I'm mentioning it, it seems the media never fully appreciates her either. Are they taking their cues from the republican party? Hey, thanks for the opportunity to rant!

(11,417 posts)post about her that isn't innuendo or an out right lie.
Like this: Hillary took a ride in a red boat. Red boats were seen attacking the homes of poor people.
Thus Hillary was attacking the homes of poor people from a red boat.
