Hillary blames homeowners for the crash of 2008

1. And yet, somehow, we're expected to just trust her..

No, we're not repeating this song or dance.

[DanTex]

2. Out of context, as usual...

[UglyGreed]

3. Says who

Karl Rove???

[DanTex]

4. How about posting the context to let people decide for themselves?

Would that be a little too honest?

[UglyGreed]

5. Words

matter....... many homeowners were tricked into loans at that time. I bought a home during this time period and if I did not triple check what I was being sold by the banks my family and I would be homeless.

[DanTex]

6. So why not post the context? Pretty simple, right? Just post a few sentences before and after.

Is there some reason that you don't want people to be able to hear her remarks in context? Hmm, what could that be?

[UglyGreed]

7. Why didn't you post

content when you said Karl Rove should come out and tell us all that he is funding and/or endorsing Bernie Sanders????

[DanTex]

9. Changing the subject, huh? You really want to avoid the context of Clinton's remarks.

I wonder what you're worried about? What do you think the context of those remarks might have been? Why are you so adamant about leaving it out?

[UglyGreed]

12. Feel free to

"correct the record"

[DanTex]

13. It's your OP, the bare minimum you could do in terms of honesty is provide the context.

Do you not think context matters? Are you trying to hide it intentionally? What gives?

[UglyGreed]

15. Round and round we

go. Feel free to lend me hand and educate myself and others here at DU. I don't mind when people point out to me where I went wrong. Like I wrote before feel free to correct the record in my thread.

[DanTex]

16. It's your OP, it's your responsibility to not mislead. Unless misleading was your intention.

The context, of course, is that there were many factors at play. Banks were obviously a big one, but the part where she goes after Wall Street was edited out for propaganda purposes.

And the sentence that she said there wasn't "blaming homeowners for the crash", she simply said that homeowners who paid money to not have to disclose their income should have known better. Do you disagree with that?

[elias49]

24. That's a fail. You can't come up with the context?

It's your contention. Back it up.

[Kip Humphrey]

26. "It's your OP, it's your responsibility to not mislead." Considering the source, just WOW!

[jeff47]

18. It's so odd you never manage to provide that clarifying context

and always attack OPs for some not including some magic context that only you know.

Oh well, I guess we lowly proles are not deserving of the magic context.

[DanTex]

19. Yeah, it's my job to search for the video that the OP edited misleadingly.

[jeff47]

21. When you want to claim there is magic clarifying context, it is.

Otherwise, it's pretty obvious you actually got nothing, and are screaming "CONTEXT!!!" as a last resort.

[DanTex]

23. Given your habit of fabricating quotes, I can see why you like this video.

In this case, of course, it's obvious that there is missing context, because she first says that there are many causes, and then the video cuts to just one of them. And even there, it's not "blaming" anything on homeowners, it's simply pointing out the obvious truth that if you're paying extra money in order to not disclose your income to a lender, you should probably think twice about it.

I don't see how anyone can disagree with that. Do you think it's a good idea to take out a loan, which to qualify for, you pay extra money in order not to disclose your income?

22. This is all they got, character assasination and not issues

[Fumesucker]

8. Homebuyers should have known better than the professionals who were selling the homes..

[UglyGreed]

11. Good thing I did not listen to

what I was being told to do. Even though I was mourning the loss of my mother and being sued by my siblings I still was able to think clearly and thank God I had the time to do diligent research. Some think greed is good but it does harm many people in many ways.

10. Que surprise.

What do you expect from a free marketer? Deregulate and loosen up the money, and when people take on financially responsibility for something they cannot possibly keep up with, blame them.

How is that being a good steward of our financial markets?

14. Oy VEY.

17. Banks are the gatekeepers

There's nothing wrong with asking for money. The gatekeepers, banks, are the ones who are supposed to protect the system from collapse.

It's like if my brother in law comes and asks me for $100,000 (which I don't have, by the way) to open a frozen yogurt stand in Antartica. He's a jerk, but if I lend it to him, I'm the problem.

[UglyGreed]

20. Would you

tell someone to lie to you, make up fake income and talk them into taking more money than they can pay you back???? Well if you could take their home make them buy insurance to cover your loss perhaps you would think about it.....

[HooptieWagon]

27. If those homeowners...

...are so crafty and clever that they can swindle Wall Street banks, then I'd say the bankers are too stupid to be in charge.
