I heard the " Super Predator" comment brought up as a smear against HRC re prison reform bill.

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.

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've heard a lot of things. A friend once told me.....

We lose a lot by not standing our ground and allowing others to frame everything in their favor.
