Hillary Clinton is PRO death penalty.

[darkangel218]

How can anyone justify her position as a good conscience Dem??

How come she hasn't "evolved" here yet?? Killing convicts while they are already in custody and harmless to society, it's a pretty big deal in my book.

Both Bernie and O'Malley are against it.

Why is she still pro death penalty??? Care to enlighten me, you Hillary supporters???

2. Provide a link to your claim...

[darkangel218]

3. Poster is wrong. Here is an example if her position:

[Segami]

6. Yes, thanks for the link....I was aware of her DP position...

I just wanted to know the source of this poster's false claim.

[darkangel218]

7. That poster is obviously trying to mislead on purpose.

I alerted on their post. Let's see what happens.

[Segami]

10. Buh-bye......

[darkangel218]

11. Yup.

Goes to show how many are here just to misinform and disrupt.

[Cheyene]

14. And how is Hillary's position different than that of Warren's?

You won't say.

They are identical, but you won't compare, because it would ruin your thread.

Both are in favor of death penalty for heinous crimes only.

[darkangel218]

15. Hillary is against the DP?

Enlighten us please. And welcome to DU.

[darkangel218]

17. Why are you lying about EW???

[Starry Messenger]

18. Someone tried to hide your post.

Now they won't be able to alert for 24 hours, good job jury.

[darkangel218]

19. I did!

Why are they lying about Warren??? Are you defending lies???

[Starry Messenger]

21. Why not refute this post in the thread?

It's a discussion forum.

[darkangel218]

23. I tried to do that .

Didn't I?

[Chan790]

29. They already did.

What has occurred here is a clear case of jury-failure and a strong argument for why the Admins need to assert the ability to hide/delete/restore things that juries get factually wrong. Facts should assert over the opinion of the community, if we want to actually be the reality-based community we're always claiming to be.

A jury got it wrong 0-7 and now a disproven slander against a Democrat is bulletproof. Good job!

Warren is anti-DP.
Clinton is not anti-DP.

Their opinions are not identical, they're diametrically-opposed. The poster chose to ignore that those differences had been discussed.

31. Thank you. n/t

[beam me up scottie]

20. Back so soon?

[SheilaT]

4. I happen to be totally opposed to the death penalty, and

it bothers me greatly that people I'd otherwise respect think it's perfectly okay to kill people. I want to ask: Isn't there something in the, what do you call it, the Bible? that says something about not killing? And isn't that on the top ten list of some kind?

One more reason I despise organized religion. It codifies hypocrisy.

[darkangel218]

5. Well said, Sheila.

+1.

[SheilaT]

8. Thank you.

I try to be informative in my posts, and honest in my stances on things. I often piss people off, even when not trying to do so. Thank you for your appreciation.

[darkangel218]

9. Same here, Sheila.

The truth precedes any viewpoints I might have.

Thank you.

[Indepatriot]

12. This is a BIG reason why I don't support her.

How in the world do you rationalize this?

[darkangel218]

13. No way to rationalize it,

Not from a Democratic perspective anyway.

[billhicks76]

16. She's Pro-Death

Because she voted to bomb and invade Iraq.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

22. ...

[aspirant]

24. If you are pro-death, what is wrong with pro-torture?

[Scuba]

25. Pro death penalty and pro torture are hallmarks of a real progressive. Read it right here on DU.

[merrily]

26. She's pivoting toward the general. If she is the nominee, Katy, bar the door!

[Nye Bevan]

27. Same position as Obama,

but I would love for them both to evolve on this issue.

[postatomic]

28. I'm against the Death Penalty

But I'm not a one issue voter. Hillary is on record saying that it should be used very rarely. I guess that's a small start, but I still disagree with her on the Death Penalty.

Life in Prison is a fate worst than death.

[Hepburn]

30. The DP is barbaric and IMO supporting it falls into the same category. n/t

[Cheese Sandwich]

32. I'm still expecting her to come out against the death penalty soon
