Christie: Clinton Is 'A Disgrace' For Comparing GOPers To Terrorist Groups

[DonViejo]

Source: TPM

Republican presidential candidate and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Sunday called Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton "a disgrace" for comments she made about Republicans Thursday.

Clinton compared Republicans to terrorist groups when it comes to women's rights during a campaign stop.

"Extreme views about women? We expect that from some of the terrorist groups. We expect that from people who don’t want to live in the modern world," Clinton said. "But it’s a little hard to take coming from Republicans who want to be the president of the United States."

Christie responded to her comments on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace. "Well, there's a uniter, isn't it? Comparing Republicans to terrorist groups. There's a real uniter. That's the woman you want sitting in the Oval Office to bring our country back together," Christie told Wallace. "That's a disgrace, and she's a disgrace. She's a disgrace for saying that, for comparing Republicans to terrorist groups. Don't let her go on that, Chris. That's awful."

1. Clinton simply expresses the view

of "The American People" - likely countable in Millions, does she not?
chris need to stfu, imo.

[Abouttime]

12. She spoke the truth

Those people are terrorists. The tea party is a hate group. Republicans are literally a dying breed, immigration and the demographics associated will make the USA a one party country just like California is now a one party state. The republicans are left with nothing but fear and hate as the base clings to an admitted racist in Donald Trump. Hillary was also brilliant in portraying the repukes as fascists wanting to load people on rail cars. She needs to keep these attacks up daily, keep on the offensive and quit responding to any questions about the email nonsense.

[fredamae]

20. I can't argue your

points. One of my biggest complaints about "my" Dem Party is that they seem(ed) to prefer being on Defense rather than Offense.
I like that from Sanders/O'Malley and now, hopefully sustained...from Clinton as well.

I will Always remember this from 2009 and I Do NOT understand why this wasn't criminal!

[edhopper]

2. Did he call out Walker

for comparing Unions to ISIS?

Didn't think so.

[bobthedrummer]

28. +1,000,000 yep! n/t

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

37. Yeah, but he agreed with that one.

[PatrickforO]

3. So, when Obama points out how divisive and obstructionist the Republicans are,

they come back and call HIM divisive? That Republican lie has been out there for years: oh, Obama is the most divisive president ever. But they are the ones who forced the sequester, obstructed EVERYTHING Obama tried even if it was a GOP idea in the first place, shut down the government and threatened default on the debt. And, Obama's issued fewer executive orders than Bush or Reagan, but they say he's a dictator....

This is the right wing lie machine, and it is more destructive to this nation than nearly any other factor.

[icarusxat]

15. You got that right...

I remember his first State of the Union, the right side of the aisle folded their arms collectively and opposed everything he said, even their own agenda. The face of hate in this country is every Republican face you see. They remind me of the weeds in my lawn. They want it all and they do not contribute in any way to the beauty of my lawn. They are the weeds in my garden. I will never get anything of worth from them, and they will kill all of the productive plants, the desired plants, and the beautiful plants.

[PatrickforO]

16. I remember! Some turkey even yelled out 'Liar!' which just appalled me. n/t

[Orrex]

4. I imagine that the terrorists think so, too.

Who would want to be likened to the GOP?

[Liberalagogo]

5. Hey Christie....

[PatrickforO]

17. LOL Really good. Christie just ISN'T presidential material, much like that tea kettle...

He blows a lot of steam, but there's not much in there but a brash, hateful guy who could take this nation in the wrong direction really fast.

[rurallib]

6. had to be fox news

wonder if he wants to punch her in the news?

[turbinetree]

8. Hey, Christie and what do you call this rant, by you............................

http://www.alternet.org/education/chris-christie-suggests-teachers-should-be-punched-face-teacher-takes-him-it

I consider that to be a threat, so before you perform your daily rant--------------take a real good look in the mirror and see what people see as a bully and a threat, when you are challenged.

And you want to know when it started, under the likes of McCarthy, moving forward, from Nixon, Goldwater, Reagan, Bush's, Walker and now you and others of your ilk past and present in your party.

Just think, Cliven Bundy is a criminal terrorist (if you look at what he does and says) and one guy in the fix noise crowd (Hannity) supports this criminal terrorist and his band of right wingers pointing guns at federal agents and the local sheriff-------------that to me is terrorism---------what do you think.

So before you run around trying to save your overloaded clown car ride--------really look at your party in the mirror------you really are a bunch of neo-fascists right wing terrorist when it comes to the murder of doctors providing services to woman, gutting food stamps, gutting labor laws to make it more dangerous for work environment, there is so much more, I just don't have the room to write them all just;

"shut up and sit down"

[Thinkingabout]

9. When I hear about two sisters who are to be raped because their brother eloped, this is terror.

When I read about states enacting or trying to enact laws where a woman who has a miscarriage can be jailed, it is the same terror. When laws are enacted to prevent women from having access to abortion after rape or incest, it is terror. When the republican party is working overtime to defund Planned Parenthood and taking away access to women's health care, it is not a good feeling the republicans are working hard to prevent the war on women from continuing. When we allow cults such as Yearning for Zion to continue where young girls are abused by old men, it is terror. When we do not have a Congress who recognize the need for sensible gun laws and we have people shot in theaters, shopping centers, churches, during arrests, pumping gas into their vehicles, doing interviews, and let us not forget the street violence and murders by guns, this is terror. The Republicans push for these issues, they need to wear the banner "I am responsible for these actions".

[Augiedog]

10. Are you sure she doesn't have a point?

The most rabid supporters of The Donald have been extremists like the KKK, neofascists and end timers. Your party shops for supporters who think women are property, that black people aren't human, that Hispanics are all criminals, that poor people are just lazy, that anyone who can't afford to pay for private health insurance should just die, that war is good, that hell awaits any who fail to follow a specific religious ideology (the "my Godis bigger than his God" military theory), that LGBT folk should be killed, that the mentally ill should be allowed to have concealed weapons, that education and critical thinking are abominations, that the Conferderate flag is somehow a symbol of good and right, that only poor people should pay taxes, that even while treading water think climate change is a hoax. The list could go on! Now you, sir, want to mark Hispanics as if they were fedex packages, remember the tattoos put on Jews in Nazi Germany, nothing to be concerned about right? You just wanted to keep track of them is all, what's the harm in a little number? If any other country did the things mentioned you would be screaming "terrorist" from the roof tops in indignation and condemnation. Are you really sure she doesn't have a point?

[Chemisse]

24. She definitely has a point, and a good one.

Let the GOP candidates have their screaming hissy fits; it makes them look even more ludicrous.

[Chasstev365]

11. As a proud unionized teacher, I simply want to say to Gov Baby Huey:

F-YOU! You terrorize teachers on a daily basis!

[Yallow]

13. Republicans Are Terrorists

Trying to take away Social Security (vouchers)
Denying poor people medical care (no medicaid expansion)
Bombing the crap out of Iraq who was no threat to anyone except oil company profits
I could go on and on
I will
Attempting to stop all legislation to clean up Bush's mess, and make Obama fail while he
tried to help create jobs
Climate change denial
I need to go to work
I could type a list of terrorist acts committed by Republicans for hours

Why does the press treat Republicans as anything but terrorists?

[freshwest]

39. 'Why does the press treat Republicans as anything but terrorists?'

Because they are the mouth piece for fascists, in all venues, simultaneously. They are working 24/7/365 to promote GOP terrorism. MSM is just another branch of the organized crime operation that is the GOP.

[Paladin]

14. One set of religious terrorists resembles another.

Hillary made a pertinent, very accurate point. A pathetic loser like Christie wouldn't be whining about it, were it otherwise.

[icarusxat]

18. exactly!

[greatlaurel]

19. The GOP to a man say that a pregnant woman cannot get an abortion to save her life,that is terrorism

These people are completely evil. Forcing the entire country to follow the religious beliefs of some is terrorism. The forced birth fanatics want to impose their beliefs on everyone. This group has resorted to killing, bombing, intimidation, theft and trespassing to get their religious beliefs forced onto everyone. Just read that they are now trespassing and stealing the records of women at clinics.

The reason the GOP is screaming so loud about this is it hit home. She needs to hit them harder.

Good for Hillary.

[Vinca]

21. I can't think of a party that enjoys killing more than the GOP. They like torture, too.

I'm with Hillary on this one. The GOP could easily be called a whole lot worse.

[KansDem]

29. Remember this?

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

38. When everyone is the enemy, everything else looks like a waterboard.

I'm afraid. So how do I kill it?

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

22. Christie is a terrorist

And that is awful.His denial is even worse. The word bully they use is just a way to soft peddle the truth about New Jersey gangsterism.
Predators/ terrorist the same. Bait & switch ='s predator ='s terrorist. People are terrorized by those predators and those predators are terrorists.

Terrorism did not originate in mid eastern countries. As a U.S. district attorney in New Jeresy surely Christie learned quite a bit about that and himself in fact.

He crossed the line before he was officiated by title. And thats awful.

[LiberalLovinLug]

23. Cue the "I'm sorry, I mis-spoke"

But I hope not. I can't stand that the Dems do not say more of this. Or when they do it is usually followed up by an apology. The GOP are terrorists because they are terrorizing segments of the population. Own it.

One thing that a big segment of the population likes is bold, even if over-the-top-to-make-a-point statements by leaders. Of course you will lose some over-sensitive people, who insist the Dems always never stoop to "gutter politics", that they are too good for that etc.. But the fact is that IF a statement is made like that..you lose even more if you retract it, because now you have lost respect from both ends. The Rethugs have known this for decades.

[uriel1972]

25. Well, calling the agricultural implement a shovel...

Is so rude, isn't it?

[SummerSnow]

26. The GOP called Obama a terrorist and no one said anything . How disrespectful. Fuck u Crispy

[Faux pas]

27. She told the

TRUTH.

[tavernier]

30. The word went out that day

that all of the candidates were to be dutifully "SHOCKED...ENRAGED...SCANDALIZED"!!!

And they were.

*big yawn*

Politics as usual.

[Dont call me Shirley]

31. "Says the big mouth of pure disgrace"

[weissmam]

32. Christie who?

at this point who cares what he thinks

[Ilsa]

33. They are bullies who can't take

A well-deserved kick to the pants, especially by a strong, smart woman.

I hope the Secretary beats them down like an old dirty rug.

[TexasBushwhacker]

34. I don't think I'd use the word "compare"

Then again, I'm sure Hillary is fresh out of fucks to give about Christie.

[uriel1972]

35. Heh, you're right...

They aren't "like" terrorists, because they "are" terrorists.
All they have is fear.
And probably true about Hillary, too.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

36. So says Chris "disgrace" Christie! I guess he should know all about disgrace.
