You can't be proud of Kissinger's praise...

[SHRED]

...and claim to be a Progressive.

That is a stark contradiction.

1. Yuppers

All the name dropping Sec .Clinton was doing was annoying.

[valerief]

2. I know. We older people who know about Kissinger I'm sure all

felt skeevy at the mention of his name.

[SHRED]

4. He's a murderer

[Art_from_Ark]

12. Less than a year after he won the Nobel Peace Prize,

he helped set up a coup in Chile.

[grasswire]

3. yeah, citing a war criminal as a cred is pretty weird. nt

[tularetom]

5. She's dumber than I thought to boast about support from that POS

[hibbing]

6. I cringed n/t

[amborin]

7. Kissinger is a heinous war criminal

[RiverLover]

8. Neocons

They stick together.

[EndElectoral]

9. Her job reference by Kissinger and using Powell as her defense on the emails was suspect at best.

[Hydra]

10. The number of Ghouls she associates with is more than a little disturbing

But as I like to point out, she and Bill have been adopted by the Bush family. You don't get that by having clean hands.

[potone]

11. I agree.

That was downright bizarre. That man is a war criminal who should be shunned by anyone who represents the USA. It makes me feel ill just to look at him.

13. realpolitiking

[glinda]

14. Does she live in a bubble?

[slipslidingaway]

15. Kissinger also praised Obama on the floor of the NYSE nt

[G_j]

16. absolutely

undeniably true

[Ichingcarpenter]

17. That praise and that sound bite

will become an internet meme and video with plenty of documentation showing why it was so wrong

She doesn't get it? Or maybe she does think its a good thing.

Anyway ........ time to illegally bomb Cambodia........ and create more crimes against humanity



and remember as Henry said

''The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer''

[SHRED]

18. I whipped this out

[JDPriestly]

19. Reading Kissinger's book back in the 1960s in a government course in college

was an ordeal. He is so simplistic. So extremely certain that he is right. I will never forget reading that book and arguing with the professor who was very upset with me. Punishment -- reading Kissinger's book.

[Recursion]

20. Which book? I thought "Diplomacy" was pretty nuanced.

I haven't read his earlier stuff though.

[JDPriestly]

21. Something with the word "nuclear" in it, if I remember correctly. It may no longer be in print.

It was about how the US and Russia are inevitably opposed to each other. There may be some truth to that, but the job of a diplomat in my view is to find common ground and a way to work with other countries even when the interests of the countries are naturally opposed or competitive.

I read it between 1961 and 1964.
