Hillary is very PROUD to be a GOLDWATER GIRL

[Bubzer]

In 1964, when Clinton was 18, she worked on Barry Goldwater’s presidential campaign. Goldwater was running for president during the same year that the Civil Rights Act was passed, and advocated repealing the landmark legislation ensconcing the right of people of color, women, religious minorities, and other groups to be free from discrimination.

Promotion of segregation was a platform Goldwater defended all the way to the 1964 Republican National Convention in San Francisco, in which he famously said, “Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.” In that same speech, Goldwater also said “Moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue,” which, ironically, could also be a criticism of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign:

1. She was a teen from a Republican family. The voting age was 21 back then.

[Bubzer]

2. And the NPR show interview was in 1996... and she's PROUD to be a GOLDWATER GIRL!!!

Guess what she wasn't in 96? A teen!!!

[PatrynXX]

15. I'm from a mixed political family

So thats why I'm naturally an independent at my core. I just happen to lean left. Yet Hillary is to my Right. smh.

Like okay we elected someone twice to work with republicans they didn't want to play. Time to go back to a real Liberal. Enough of the Conservatives in our Party. It's still our party until I decide to leave it. and I haven't decided that yet.

3. From Goldwater to Goldman Sachs. That's our Hillary!

[NanceGreggs]

4. No one should ever trust ...

... a one-time Republican - like, for example, Elizabeth Warren.

Amiright?

[msongs]

5. a lifer- career republican until her sudden rebirth lol n t

[NanceGreggs]

7. Well, yeah ...

... but that's different.

Right?

[Bubzer]

8. Considering her lack of bigotry? Yes. Yes it is.

[Bubzer]

6. Warren never supported bigotry

Hillary did...at least twice. The term "Super predator" ring any bells? Here's a hint... Warren didn't say it...

[Quixote1818]

14. Hillary has flat out said she thinks Move On is way too left wing

I really doubt Warren thinks anything close to that. Warren is clearly passionate about being liberal. My guess is Hillary will be a very centrist president. I hope I am wrong.

[Bubzer]

17. I think your correct.

[Plucketeer]

25. I think you're correct as well

Obama's "third term" is what I'd expect from Madame President.

[Herman4747]

18. Well, to what extent do you yourself trust Hillary...

...to always be truthful to the American electorate? To what extent do you trust her to strive to keep campaign promises? To not change her position depending on whom she is talking to?

If you see the first two words of a headline, "Hillary flip-flops..." before seeing the rest, are the first two words that come to your mind, "yet again"?

[PatrynXX]

19. Gabby Giffords

was a pro Gun Democrat until..... well you know the story. She was a Conservadem until that fateful day.. Now the Irony is that most true Conservatives are pro gun control a Conservative in the Democratic Party is not the same thing as a Conservative in the Republican party. under D it's the Right wing of the party. in R it's everyone but the Tea Party and the Moderates. Yeah people change. If this were a fair game then why is she bringing up a vote from Bernie over a decade ago. People change . Voting changes. One vote verses several.

I supposed while your at it you can go after Cenk from TYT. anything else everyone already knows

[Major Nikon]

36. No one should ever trust anyone who fails to admit they were wrong

I don't believe some of the things I believed 20 years ago and I have no problem repudiating them now. I think the problem comes in when you know the things you once believed in were wrong, but you refuse to acknowledge you should have known better. Because the obvious problem that presents is that some of the things you believe in now are also probably wrong, yet you lack the ability to change your ideas based on new information. To make a mistake is certainly forgivable, but to not learn from your mistakes is not. That's what makes some people untrustworthy.

[RoccoR5955]

39. You are correct.

There are some points that I do not trust Warren on, myself.

[Turbineguy]

9. History has made Goldwater

a sane republican.

[Bubzer]

10. You'll have to forgive me if I disagree.

Goldwater was the godfather of the modern republican party and everything they stand for.

He advocated repealing the landmark legislation ensconcing the right of people of color, women, religious minorities, and other groups to be free from discrimination. All the actions performed by modern republicans are merely shadows cast off that pillar of hate.

[Turbineguy]

13. These things are relative.

You are absolutely right. But comparatively speaking, Goldwater was a moderate.

[Bubzer]

16. If we were comparing against Trump, or Cruz, or Walker... the more extreme elements... I'd agree.

But I think Goldwater would fit right in with average conservatives just fine.

[Plucketeer]

26. I'm with Bibzer on this

There's a certain strata that Goldwater fits comfortable into. It's not the Tea Party / dumbfuckery GOP that Barry would align with, but he'd feel VERY MUCH at home with the Reagan Rethug gang just fine.

[Major Nikon]

28. He was closer to what we now call libertarian

He just wasn't a social conservative, but that doesn't make him a moderate by a long shot.

[DhhD]

34. Did Hillary campaign for the use of nuclear weapons by Goldwater in Vietnam in the mid 1960's?

20. well since Kissinger

is suddly a great guy. that might be true

[Quixote1818]

11. It would not surprise me if she ended up to the right of her husband as POTUS. nt

[Bubzer]

12. She's always been politically to the right of Bill.

[hopemountain]

21. serendipity!

your video posted at the exact time i posted an op in gprimaries about her lie regarding her early years supporting republicans.

[Bubzer]

22. ...

[George II]

23. It must be at least a week since someone has posted that video here.

[Bubzer]

24. A whole week?

Well, then that makes it at least a week that Hillary supporters failed to defend her stance, PROUDLY embracing a platform that promoted segregation and bigotry.

[Plucketeer]

27. LOL!

The hell you say!

[zeemike]

32. They don't have to defend it.

Just ignore it and it don't exist.

Things like that can be simple if you want them to be.

[Bubzer]

33. I'm content with them ignoring it...because I know they will.

In the meantime, I'll spread the word... and I know I'm not the only one.

This kind of crap should never go unchallenged!

[Umbral18]

35. From what I can see it's not often enough. nt

[libdem4life]

29. Well, I was a Nixon Girl in high school, but cast my first vote for McGovern

at age 21 as I went to a Liberal Arts College...ironically Nixon's alma mater. I was a Democrat from then on. I don't even remember what really changed my mind. Perhaps it was just learning to think for myself and read up on issues.

[madamesilverspurs]

30. OFFS.

She was 16, for crying out loud. SIXTEEN. SIXTEEN, in case you missed it. By the time she got to college, and out from under her republican father's roof, she was a Democrat.

Good lord, people. It's way past time to get a grip.

[Bubzer]

31. OFFS.

This interview was in 1996. 1996 in case you missed it. She hasn't changed a DAMN THING!
She's frickin PROUD on her choices back then. She DOUBLE DOWNED on her endorsement of Goldwater's bigotry!

It's way past time for you to get a grip.

[captainarizona]

37. goldwater voted against 1964 civil rights bill.

She is proud of goldwater voting against civil rights bill?

[PoliticalMalcontent]

38. And she's progressive...

ha. hahahahaha.
