2 things:

First: Many are quoting the headline of Guardian-"Albright: 'special place in hell' for women who don't support Clinton"-which was wrong--trying to sensationalize the story I suspect
The actual story says---

**** “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other!”

So the OP out in gd-p (think there are several) misquotes Albright's quote.*************

Also Point # 2
NOTE***the title of the Guardian contradicts the actual story!!


This was the headline from the Guardian:
Albright: 'special place in hell' for women who don't support Clinton



Tom McCarthy in Concord, New Hampshire

Saturday 6 February 2016 15.36 EST


Former secretary of state Madeleine Albright introduced Hillary Clinton at an event in New Hampshire on Saturday, telling the crowd and voters in general: “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other!”..............


Also--the context of the quote was abortion rights and the upcoming SC nominees:




....Albright was the first woman to be secretary of state and served during the presidency of Clinton’s husband, Bill. She closed her New Hampshire speech with an allusion to the ongoing struggle with Republicans over abortion rights.

“Young women have to support Hillary Clinton. The story is not over!” she said. “They’re going to want to push us back. Appointments to the supreme court make all the difference.

“It’s not done and you have to help. Hillary Clinton will always be there for you. And just remember, there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other.”.................

1. Yeah, the Sanders supporters aren't doing the context thing

Because context is so messy.

4. More likely, context just doesn't serve their purposes.

They long ago used up any "benefit of the doubt" I had been allowing them
when it comes to smears, insinuation, mischaracterizations, and omissions.

5. If they understood nuance

they wouldn't be supporting someone who thinks every issue boils down to good guy versus bad guys.

2. Could you please not bring facts into it!

You are destroying a perfectly good talking point.

6. Ha well yeah - n/t

7. Bernie Sander and his band of followers

are worse than Republicans in the sense they both constantly use personal attacks on Hillary and anyone who supports her.

If somehow he were to win I would leave the Democratic party forever.

8. Some are drooling over that headline. I tried to clear it up for them but.....

....they're not interested in truth. In fact they got downright insulting.

The fact is Albright did NOT say that!

[riversedge]

11. I tried several times also. So I posted it here for those who like facts.

9. Albright?

When asked about the deaths of Iraqi children under 5 due to the sanctions imposed by the UN - numbers are in the hundreds of thousands with many indications that 1/2 million children died; Secretary Albright replied to Leslie Stahl "we think the price is worth it". The quote about women supporting women pales in comparison.

What did the Iraqi people ever do to the people of the United States? We have been bombing, burning, maiming, and hurting them for 25 years now. We destroyed their country and unleashed a civil war from hell. For what? Some goddamned oil?

12. I'd like to see the entire quote in context, along with the question

Thanks.

13. meh

The Iraq Sanctions Myth
Sanctions allegedly killed hundreds of thousands of children in Iraq and provided a rationale for invasion, a line still heard today. But those deaths almost certainly never happened.
