Related: About this forumHow does HRC actually FEEL about the freedom movement leaders who back her?
They are heroes...but it looks as though she thinks they are most useful for doing her dirty work.
Contemptuous attitude towards the giants she thinks she's entitled to stand on.
They deserve better than this from her.

(4,507 posts)You know, these people who have done more to advance the causes of equality and justice than you could or would ever do in 5000 lifetimes?

(40,656 posts)themselves that if they did shit, they wanted to. You can't tarnish yourself in this manner and claim not to be a willing partner. They threw themselves into the slime because they agreed to. Giving them a pass is wrong. It relieves them of having chosen to do this in the first place. They chose it. The consequences are on them.

(6,829 posts)craven and shallow. Their wealth shields them from consequences
They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.
These civil rights icons can't go back to who they were before - the Clintons have set them up as easy pawns in their shallow, greedy power games
