Hillary claimed that she has been fighting Homophobic Inequality for 40 years.

[Motown_Johnny]

Anyone buy that one?


Anyone???

[morningfog]

1. Of course not because it was an obvious lie.

[Duckhunter935]

2. no

[Ed Suspicious]

3. I do not buy that.

Do we need to take a look at the video evidence? I do know she had opportunity to defend marriage, you know, the union of one man and one woman. Who she was defending it from is open to interpretation, I guess.

[Nyan]

4. Homophobic inequality? That's not a word.

Homophobia must be well distributed? What is she saying?

[OrwellwasRight]

13. LOL.

She had a Sarah Palin world salad moment with that whole section of her presentation.

I think we all knew what she was getting at. But she has been for LGBT equality since 1975? Baloney. I'd call bullshit on that for pretty much 99% of all US politicians except for Harvey Milk.

[roguevalley]

47. there are things she can point to but this isn't one of them. both she and

bill have been abysmal on this issue for forty years. Don't ask, don't tell anyone?

[OrwellwasRight]

61. Love your sig line!

[Health Wagon]

64. Milk and Sanders.

[Punkingal]

28. LOL...there went my keyboard!

[DanTex]

36. It's actually two words. Very complex. Don't worry if it's over your head.

[Punkingal]

42. You really get a kick out of putting people down, don't you? All day, every day.

[SwampG8r]

52. The image of his candidate. Nt

[Health Wagon]

65. He's not worth it.

Just mentally ignore him.

[2pooped2pop]

44. I believe that is the anger directed at the poor homophobes

You, know like the "God hates gays" church group. I believe Clinton has been telling people who don't like that clan and tries to stop them from protesting funerals to "just cut it out"

Not sure though.

[hrmjustin]

5. Yes. I marched with her in gay pride and i trust her to protect my rights.

She was not perfect but i am glad when people get it right.

[DaGimpster]

6. I appreciate your sentiment, but it was not the OP's original question.

Perhaps the answer is moot given your response, but still.

[hrmjustin]

7. I think i answered it well.

[Motown_Johnny]

9. When did that happen?

[hrmjustin]

11. 2001.

[Motown_Johnny]

15. So, not 40 years ago... by a long stretch? n/t

[hrmjustin]

17. I was not alive 40 years ago so...

[Motown_Johnny]

19. You do understand that I am calling her out on her lie, right?

That was my whole point.

[hrmjustin]

21. How do you know it is a lie?

[Motown_Johnny]

24. .

[hrmjustin]

26. A bad moment but many politicians got it wrong.

But when they get it right it makes me happy.

[Motown_Johnny]

33. So you admit that her claiming a 40 year record on this is a lie?

[hrmjustin]

35. Not a lie but complicated.

[Motown_Johnny]

37. Seems pretty simple to me.

Besides, that wasn't just one moment. She was on record as opposing same sex marriage until the polls showed that a majority of Americans supported it.

She is, was and will always be in the bottom 47% of the entire population on this issue. Not just the bottom 47% of politicians. The bottom 47% of every person in America.

What she said was a flat out uncomplicated lie.

[hrmjustin]

39. For me as a gay man I am happy when people see the light.

[Motown_Johnny]

40. But it doesn't bother you that they lie about when they saw it? n/t

[RedCappedBandit]

50. Fact is, she needed to see the light. nt

[Motown_Johnny]

53. But she lies about when she saw that "light".

I think all she saw was the poll numbers, but neither of us will ever be able to prove why she flipped. Only that she did it after the polls showed that over half the country was in favor of marriage equality.

[Health Wagon]

68. Red line! Red line!

[Luminous Animal]

30. Really. Because here she is 2004.

Her 40 years of advocacy is a complete and utter fabrication.

I HAVE SPENT DECADES FIGHTING FOR GAY RIGHTS. LBGTQ RIGHTS. I marched organize fundraised advocated SOMETIMES WTIH A BABY ON MY BACK. and got arrested (sans baby).

Defend that video hrmjustin

I know that I will not get a response.

[hrmjustin]

31. She got it wrong and I protested her office as a constituent.

I am glad she finslly got it right on marriage equality.

[Motown_Johnny]

54. But why does she lie about when she finally got it right? n/t

[karynnj]

12. 40 years ago?

[hrmjustin]

14. I was not born then.

2001.

[DaGimpster]

51. By this rationale... the second Iraq War shouldn't matter since my daughter wasn't born yet.

I understand what you are trying to say, and I am also glad she saw the light on this issue.

However, to folks who were born before you, her stating she's been on the right side for 40 years is disingenuous at BEST and an outright fabrication at WORST. It is a lie, a bold face lie at that.

I could go through a whole laundry list of things that occurred before my birth, but are still relevant to the discussion today.

[Motown_Johnny]

55. Were you born yesterday? Because that is when she lied about it. n/t

[morningfog]

22. 40 years ago? 1975?

[HassleCat]

8. Like Sinatra sings, "I did it my way!"

Defense of Marriage Act, Don't Ask-Don't Tell, etc. We all have our own personal style. Personally, I like to lose weight by drinking beer and eating junk food.

[onecaliberal]

10. She lies about things that are easily verifiable, and no reason to lie about.

[OrwellwasRight]

20. This wasn't a lie so much as

an over-exaggeration. I think she is trying prove her bona fides and played a little word salad here. She's desperate, she's nervous, she's on live national TV and scared to death that Bernie is going to whip her in Iowa, so she word salad-ed it.

I've heard far worse actual lies.

[Luminous Animal]

16. It is a massive lie.

[onecaliberal]

25. Boom!

[Warren DeMontague]

29. That's okay because Nineeleven!

Or something

[Luminous Animal]

41. It is mind boggling how she gets a pass. Her stance was disgusting.

[INdemo]

18. While running for the senate and as a Senator her stand on Gay marriage...

Chris Mathews with Hillary

?t=45

[votesparks]

23. Ellen Says It, So It Must Be True!

[bigwillq]

27. I don't buy it

She's never been a fierce advocate for gay rights. She only does and says things on that issue to gain political points.

[in_cog_ni_to]

32. Blatant LIE.

Anyone interested in the issues, knows she LIED. Where's the video of her on the Senate floor declaring marriage is between a man and a woman? It's on the Google machine.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[in_cog_ni_to]

38. Video proving she lied.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[Kalidurga]

43. So she was like 12?

Impressive.

[Betty Karlson]

45. That is a bold-faced LIE.

Clinton was on the wrong side of history until at least 2012. I will never trust her.

[jfern]

46. No, but a lot of her supporters will claim that it must be true

[Fearless]

48. She did lump homophobia into her list of things she's fought for 40 years.

Yes.

Unequivocally.

And it is a lie.

[djean111]

49. I would never buy anything from her.

Maybe she was against gay marriage because she was afraid of Bosnian sniper fire. Yeah, that's the ticket!

[hootinholler]

56. She's right!

Spot on with this claim. Those Homophobes have been treated so unfairly for 40 years, someone had to stand up for them!

I applaud Hillary's efforts to make Homophobes more equal!

[Motown_Johnny]

58. Ahhh... You see, I had that completely backward.

My bad.

[hootinholler]

59. Do try to be more careful in the future

Her Royal Highness is depending on us to not misrepresent her positions.

[Fumesucker]

62. Careful parsing is necessary when interpreting Clintonian statements

It depends of course on what the meaning of "is" is.

[Vinca]

57. I would love an example. This would include the "don't ask, don't tell" years in the White House.

That's not something to be terribly proud of.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

60. She's a goddamned liar. She and her husband.

[Health Wagon]

63. Nope.

Flipflopper and a big fat lie.

[madokie]

66. She lies

as Joe Wilson might say
