"You know what. Rich people, God Bless Us. We deserve all the opportunities"

mistakes. Guess that's another claim that flies out the window. Should make a great campaign ad though.

She didn't really say exactly that, in that exact sequence. They just took parts of the interview and spliced them into that new sequence.

Mean-spirited, to be sure. And even though I'm not a Hillary supporter I don't think it's fair to her at all.

those words came out of her mouth verbatim.

Sorry, but she doesn't get a "do-over"

This takes "out of context" to a whole other dimension.

Stop copying her moves! Beyond that, she clearly shows she isn't the skilled fighter, she claimed to be. What an amateurish mistake. This can be a great ad line.

It would shatter his campaign theme to bring a different kind of politics.

And I commend him for it.

These kind of tactics suck and come back to bite the person who uses them. See... well, Hillary Clinton.

I would hope that MoveOn's members (of which I am one) wouldn't sink to such levels, even in support of their preferred candidate.

let her explain what she meant

I ultimately prefer the latter.

The reason I am turned off by Hilary is the same reason this sort of ridiculous hype pisses me off. People need to grow up.

You are making a fool of yourself. In context, she doesn't say anything like what you imply. I can't stand the woman but this kind of bullshit is wrong no matter who it's done to.

I am curious.

raising the taxes on the wealthy but not raising the taxes on the middle class. The implication of what she said, in the context of the conversation (not just a couple sentances) , was that the wealthy should shoulder a greater part of the tax burden then those who are not wealthy.

I can't stand hillary but I saw this interview and in my mind there was no question about she was saying. Not that I believe her, but she certainly did not say or imply what the OP says that she said/implied.

gas, food, utilities is proportionality higher on the lower and middle class people so the argument about not raising taxes on the middle class is bogus it is happening every day. If I make 20K a year and the gas is 3.50 a gallon it hurts a lot more than if I make 200k and gas is 3.50. This is where her argument is bogus. Thanks for the info. I realize the use of these clips is out of control. It looks like both camps will have their hands full. Peace, Kim

The "Bitter" comment but Hillary and her sidekick McCain blew it all out of proportion

Hillary ran an ad with the word "BITTER" in quotes and provided exactly ZERO context for his words.

She should know, when you put on the Pads, you can expect an elbow or two thrown your way.

:rofl:

As it stands, I can think of some rich people who deserve to be locked up with the key thrown away. I'll start with Rupert Murdoch.

If this has been grossly taken out of context, I want no part of it. Stooping to the level of Hillary's (disgusting GOP style) campaign is not the answer here.

Let's stick with the facts and substantive criticism.

Here are both parts of the interview.

I just didn't specifically remember that part. The important thing is, we shouldn't be taking ANYONE out of context, even if we disagree with them politically.

And believe me, I very much disagree with Hillary (especially since around the time of the 3am fear mongering ad that kicked off her GOP style gutter campaign).

I'm so sick of out of context BS. Save it for McCain.

The Obama campaign did not cut this video.

She put it in a convoluted way - but it was not meant as portrayed here, of that I am pretty sure.

But its damn tempting to do a tit for the tatatatatat, thats been the order of the day, huh?

This is the way the ALL think. "We deserve it".....and the peons deserve what they get. This is what we are up against.

Until "the people" start running the show, these aristocrats are going to take care of us. "Anyone care for some more scraps from the table?"

God bless America...and shake us awake!!!

Those were her exact words, rich people, God bless us. Am I bitter? Well, YES! But I'm a Kucitizen and we are all about peace, truth, justice, equality and planet preservation. I saw God(or insert your higher power here)bless everyone.

What she said was:

"Rich people, God bless us, we deserve all the opportunities to make sure that our country, and our blessings, continue to the next generation."

That's it in context. Just so we're being fair.

But you know what?

You're wrong, Senator. You don't "deserve an opportunity" to do that.

You have a RESPONSIBILITY to do that. As an elected official, you have a RESPONSIBILITY. As someone who's reaped the benefits of the opportunities that America gives to some and denies (perhaps not actively, but through indifference) to others, you have a RESPONSIBILITY.

And you've failed.

When you walked away from healthcare reform in 1993 because it couldn't pass and it was hurting Bill's presidency - YOU FAILED US.
When you were supposedly opposed to NAFTA and trade de-regulation as First Lady, but couldn't convince your husband not to let it pass - YOU FAILED US.
When you voted to authorize the invasion of Iraq, but made sure that you "strongly recommended" military action only as a "last resort" - YOU FAILED US.

You're a fighter, all right - you just lose all the fights. The Gerry Cooney of politics, ladies and gentlemen!
