Hillary explains her "hard choice" in voting for Iraq invasion
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511830112

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

The video contains extremely graphic images of war dead and injured children juxtaposed with interview footage of Hillary - manipulative and completely over the top.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Apr 25, 2016, 02:03 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is about what happened and was said. If you ban it here, you will leave Hillary supporters not knowing what they need to combat. If history itself can be considered a violation of TOS here at DU, DU will be destroyed as a discussion board. IMO.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Clinton voted in favor of "war dead and injured children". If you don't like the facts about your candidate I suggest you find someone else to support.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: These were the consequences of the war. Nothing manipulative or over the top about showing what happened.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Wars are ugly
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Right-wing propaganda hit piece

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
