(1,865 posts)going for Hillary and I was very happy to cast my vote for her as well.
And I googled your terms and the first five results were from the Washingtonexaminer.com Mashable.com, democraticunderground, modernliberals.com and forum.slowtwitch.com. Of this list I only peruse DU and I don't know anything about all the other sites or their reputation.
As for the comment itself, I recall a comment made by candidate Obama during the 2008 election something along the lines of "they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations" and Hillary and the Repukes got their panties all twisted up in knots. It was nuts. But the statement has some truth just like there is some truth in the term "coastal elite" or what they used to like to say when I lived in Chicago "limosine liberal."
I also recall candidate Clinton in 2008 saying something along the lines "We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California," when referring to why she didn't drop out of the primary. And people went nuts, rightly so, about that too.
I guess I just see the candidates as people, not heros or saviors or anything else. They say stupid things, they do stupid things, they say great things, they do great things, etc. etc. etc. But I certainly do no see BS through the same angry glasses that you are looking through.
