Someone needs to educate the voting populace out there about the origin of that comment. It was not HRC, she used it as quoted in a more complex discussion at a fundraiser.

(3,259 posts)That comment was a long long time ago. It was a horrific comment that doesn't need to be white washed. One of my favorite parts about Clinton is her openness to learn and her understanding that she is not perfect. She has greatly improved throughout her history when it comes to these issues.
The voting public has zero need to be educated on something that is very rarely discussed outside of paranoid and racist right wing circles.

I understand this comment is a big deal to you and you feel it needs to be debated today.
Looks huge!
