Reply #43: My point of course was that Obama would not do that

[Tom Rinaldo]

On an internal Democratic message board I wasn't worrying about the electorate mistaking that piece of parody as serious.

If the outrage being expressed toward Hillary over this was confined to complaints that she unecessarily used an overly harsh word with "obliterate" when she could have said something else like "in that scenario Iran would face certain nuclear retaliation from the United States", I could easily understand it.

Instead there are ridiculous threads popping up claiming Clinton is now threatening to attack Iran, including some that intentionally cut off her quote to leave out the part about "If Iran used nuclear weapons against Isreal" to make it seem like she is a demented warmonger.
