In reply to the discussion: Thom Hartmann has advice for the Hillary Clinton Campaign [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)politicians who have spent years engaged in less than kind language aimed at LGBT families in which they calmly say that God does not approve and neither do they, and that politician then jumps up to grab a word like 'shout' and parse it into a great offense, all I see is a politician yet again indulging in self interested situational standards.
In 08 Hillary and Barack were 'Sanctity, they are not sanctified, I am a Christian, I purse my lips and furrow my brow at the mention of those sinners, we must not mistreat but we can not give them equality'.
But someone said 'shout' near her, and that is offensive? Why are the standards stacked in such a way that politicians get to denigrate others for years but others have to not say 'shout' near the politician?
