Praise from Rumsfeld and Cheney? How about Charles Manson?

Tone deaf.

she has exposed the truth.she is no progressive.

Clintons worked on Mcgovern's texas campagin yet now praises Nixon's secretary of state?

This is democratic primary not republican primary.Kissinger and Bushes should not by praised by any dem.yet they are by
Clintons.

For all the talks that Clinton is the real democrat she sure likes to praise republicans.

Every single one was a republican.......

Kissinger became an advisor to Nelson Rockefeller and supported his bid for the Republican nomination for president in 1960, 1964, and 1968.[23] After Richard Nixon won the presidency in 1968, he made Kissinger National Security Advisor.

this shows she is republican lite.

Remember progressives used to hate Nixon.Kissinger's role as national security advisor and then secretary of state should not be
praised.

a cave in the desert trying to figure out what great evil it was that I'd done to deserve his flattery.

Then, once I figured it out, I'd be compelled by conscience to spend the rest of my making amends to everyone an everything I had harmed.
