"While the evidence tells me that the death penalty does little to deter crime, I believe there are some crimes—mass murder, the rape and murder of a child—so heinous, so beyond the pale, that the community is justified in expressing the full measure of its outrage by meting out the ultimate punishment."

Page 35, 'Audacity of Hope'

Let's judge everybody by the same standards.

Thank you in advance.

Hillary Handled the Interruption by BLM VERY WELL!!!! [View all] bravenak Oct 2015 OP

She did good....Now, what would be funny is if a candidate would stand there and then randys1 Oct 2015 #1

Hahahaha!!! bravenak Oct 2015 #2

or........"Do you want me to leave", and then leave!!! George II Oct 2015 #359

She also had time for her and her team to come up bkkyosemite Oct 2015 #3

Well I am sure she heard of the harassment following Netroots and wanted to avoid that as well. bravenak Oct 2015 #4

And after Netroots he still wasn't prepared for a BLM "attack" at Seattle's Westlake Center. n/t pnwmom Oct 2015 #142

He sure wasn't. At all. Flabbergasted. bravenak Oct 2015 #152

"An attack" JaneyVee Oct 2015 #11

In my opinion, they are protestors, not attackers. NCTraveler Oct 2015 #20

Bingo msrizzo Oct 2015 #138

There's no good way to handle actions like this. joshcryer Oct 2015 #37

You are forgetting something. Netroots was a surprise to Bernie (though some pnwmom Oct 2015 #141

I haven't seen hrc's response, elleng Oct 2015 #5

YES HE IS!!!! bravenak Oct 2015 #6

HAPPY you think so, bravenak. elleng Oct 2015 #7

Thank you!! bravenak Oct 2015 #8

Looks like she adopted O'Malley's cocaine sentencing approach. joshcryer Oct 2015 #99

KnR sheshe2 Oct 2015 #9

OMG HI!! Did you see that? bravenak Oct 2015 #18

Ha! sheshe2 Oct 2015 #68

CAAAAAPPPS! bravenak Oct 2015 #72

Hey you.... sheshe2 Oct 2015 #85

Ok. On my way!!! bravenak Oct 2015 #87

DID SHE STORM OFF AND CANCEL ALL MEETINGS?!!! JaneyVee Oct 2015 #10

NO SHE DID NOT!! bravenak Oct 2015 #13

What plan is that? bvf Oct 2015 #83

She will tell you when she is President! bravenak Oct 2015 #89

Cute, but this is no way to handle one of the stupidest statements bvf Oct 2015 #102

Humor is good. Helps break the tension. bravenak Oct 2015 #103

Here's something funny she said: bvf Oct 2015 #113

Here is something funny the crowd from SEATTLE, that PROGRESSIVE bastion of white liberalism said. bravenak Oct 2015 #118

Did Sanders say that? bvf Oct 2015 #162

Not the whole crowd. Some yelled "ARREST THEM!" bravenak Oct 2015 #165

So was the whole crowd yelling something, bvf Oct 2015 #261

He should have had security. bravenak Oct 2015 #262

Do you know where you are? bvf Oct 2015 #287

So? Nothing wrong with respecting laws! bravenak Oct 2015 #301

The police too often don't. What does Hillary's plan call for in such cases? bvf Oct 2015 #305

People act like because I'm black I have to hate the police non stop. bravenak Oct 2015 #308

An interesting interpretation. bvf Oct 2015 #316

It is presumptuous to presume a person hates the law because of his or her color. DemocratSinceBirth Oct 2015 #347

She implied she doesn't like crime because you implied that she does. DemocratSinceBirth Oct 2015 #361

I implied she liked crime? bvf Oct 2015 #390

It is self evident.No need for me to elucidate. DemocratSinceBirth Oct 2015 #391

Ah, in other words, bvf Nov 2015 #413

As in other words what I said was empirically obvious DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #417

Nice try. bvf Nov 2015 #421

Oh that someone. who even knows if that person was a liberal? Luminous Animal Oct 2015 #318

But you are all for deaths on death row, 42% black. And so is Clinton n/t eridani Oct 2015 #342

And so is President Obama, unfortunately DemocratSinceBirth Oct 2015 #346

Since Sanders and O'Malley are not, that bodes for a more hopeful future n/t eridani Nov 2015 #414

I said we need to start at the beginning. bravenak Nov 2015 #449

Yes, we do. I am one of thousands who worked for legal MJ in WA State eridani Nov 2015 #450

It needs to be redone completely. bravenak Nov 2015 #453

"she's telling them to submit to police abuse" emulatorloo Oct 2015 #164

How would you interpret her bvf Oct 2015 #232

As a fair and unbiased observer it is incumbent upon me to give this round to you. DemocratSinceBirth Oct 2015 #364

ROFL BootinUp Oct 2015 #148

It sounds like she did brave mcar Oct 2015 #12

Yep! bravenak Oct 2015 #14

I think so too mcar Oct 2015 #16

Oh yeah. They all had alot of growth. bravenak Oct 2015 #23

Her first response was ALL LIVEs MATTER. Remember? GeorgeGist Nov 2015 #433

At least she did not cancel all meetings and huff off. bravenak Nov 2015 #442

Sanders apparently wasted the time between Netroots and Westlake Center in Seattle. pnwmom Oct 2015 #146

BLM is handling the dem primary well. Nt NCTraveler Oct 2015 #15

That is TRUTH!!nt bravenak Oct 2015 #19

Why is she denying BLM a debate? jfern Oct 2015 #17

WHY ARE YOU SAYING SHE IS DENYING A DEBATE? SHE DOES NOT RUN THE DNC. PLEASE STOP. bravenak Oct 2015 #21

She basically does, If Hillary wanted more debates, DWS would immediately schedule more. jfern Oct 2015 #24

THAT IS MERELY YOUR OPINION. NOT FACT! bravenak Oct 2015 #27

It is fact jfern Oct 2015 #32

IS DWS HRC? NO! bravenak Oct 2015 #36

DWS chose fewer debates to help Hillary. It's a fact. jfern Oct 2015 #38

Seems more helpful to Bernie!!! bravenak Oct 2015 #42

Bernie and O'Malley asked for more than 6 jfern Oct 2015 #44

We need to blame her for not asking for more of what Bernie wanted and Martin OMalley wanted? bravenak Oct 2015 #50

What did that have to do with gender? jfern Oct 2015 #53

She has a gender. You put the burden on the female to do the asking for what the two men wanted. bravenak Oct 2015 #62

This attempt to play the gender card is really pathetic jfern Oct 2015 #117

Ten point for gender card!! I have to take a shot now. Drinking game. bravenak Oct 2015 #120

I'm considering yelling "drink!" for every mention of gender/race card tishaLA Nov 2015 #429

Boom... sheshe2 Oct 2015 #171

Because they have no facts! bravenak Oct 2015 #173

They have plenty of spin though! nt BootinUp Oct 2015 #176

Like cyclones! bravenak Oct 2015 #177

Exactly..... sheshe2 Oct 2015 #181

I think it's a game, myself. bravenak Oct 2015 #191

UPDATE! Clinton open to more debates BootinUp Oct 2015 #218

She never asked for more debates jfern Oct 2015 #220

Why should she ask? She's open to it but not wanting it. No need to ask for something bravenak Oct 2015 #225

My point is that there won't be more debates because she didn't ask jfern Oct 2015 #228

So what? Why does that make or break anything? She won the debate anyway. bravenak Oct 2015 #234

It means that there won't be a BLM debate jfern Oct 2015 #236

Okay? There wasn't one last time either. bravenak Oct 2015 #239

So you don't think BLM is important enough to have a debate? jfern Oct 2015 #240

I never said that. You did. bravenak Oct 2015 #248

Do you agree that there should be more debates? jfern Oct 2015 #265

I am ambivalent. bravenak Oct 2015 #268

Well, they want a debate jfern Oct 2015 #270

Ok, and? bravenak Oct 2015 #271

They want a debate but aren't getting it. jfern Oct 2015 #273

True. Yes. They are not getting what they want. True. bravenak Oct 2015 #274

I want a pony. nt BootinUp Oct 2015 #276

I want ONE BIIIIIILLLLLOIN DOOOOLLLLAAAARRRRSSS! bravenak Oct 2015 #278

If black lives matter and they want a debate, shouldn't they get one? jfern Oct 2015 #279

Should? We shouldn't NEED a debate on whether black lives matter. bravenak Oct 2015 #280

Well, the corporate media probably won't ask too many questions on BLM jfern Oct 2015 #282

They never do ask much about blacks bravenak Oct 2015 #313

Yes, they need one that isn't controlled by the corporate media jfern Oct 2015 #317

Exactly. Debates are words and words flow Skidmore Oct 2015 #352

How many other groups would like to have their own debate... NaturalHigh Nov 2015 #420

please post links to support this "fact" mcar Oct 2015 #106

See comment 34 jfern Oct 2015 #121

That is not proof of your contention mcar Oct 2015 #169

You probably will accept nothing as proof jfern Oct 2015 #170

Why don't you try me? mcar Oct 2015 #187

The other campaigns all want more debates jfern Oct 2015 #189

But how does that prove that mcar Oct 2015 #192

All but one candidate has asked for more debates, and yet it's still only 6. jfern Oct 2015 #194

But you are not proving your point mcar Oct 2015 #195

Do you dispute my previous comment? jfern Oct 2015 #196

What previous comment? mcar Oct 2015 #198

Comment 194 jfern Oct 2015 #207

It must make them feel better by believing everything is Hillary's fault. Hillary would do Cha Oct 2015 #332

If it is a fact then where is your link? sheshe2 Oct 2015 #166

Every other candidate asked for more debates jfern Oct 2015 #167

I asked for links. sheshe2 Oct 2015 #175

Here jfern Oct 2015 #185

Interesting. It got real quiet here. JonLeibowitz Oct 2015 #304

EDIT: Hillary Clinton Says She’s Open to More Debates Cha Oct 2015 #307

Hillary never actually asked for more debates jfern Oct 2015 #324

So, she's ready for more.. Hillary does great in debates. Cha Oct 2015 #327

Well, she's the only reason we aren't getting more than 6 debates and aren't getting a BLM one jfern Oct 2015 #328

You just keep pushing your little CT if it makes you feel better about bernie losing. I've seen the Cha Oct 2015 #331

All but 1 candidate asked for more debates jfern Oct 2015 #337

Keep digging. Cha Oct 2015 #338

If Hillary isn't why we're not getting more debates jfern Oct 2015 #339

You need a bigger shovel. Cha Oct 2015 #340

Your crystal ball has a crack in it and is putting forth silly stuff. Best fix it. riversedge Oct 2015 #365

The other candidates all asked for more debates jfern Oct 2015 #392

If all the candidates want a debate quakerboy Oct 2015 #43

It's probably Lessig. Agschmid Oct 2015 #49

wow, lame. even with all caps. Warren Stupidity Oct 2015 #92

Prove it. And I thought caps were in style here? No? bravenak Oct 2015 #93

try to be honest about things Warren Stupidity Oct 2015 #96

I am trying to get y'all to face reality. bravenak Oct 2015 #108

The reality that DWS is not an agent for HRC? Warren Stupidity Oct 2015 #150

The reality that the HRC hate is getting so annoying that I feel like defending her. bravenak Oct 2015 #151

ah I see you no longer care to address the actual point here Warren Stupidity Oct 2015 #156

I said what I had to say. bravenak Oct 2015 #157

I would think twice before accusing bravenak of "intellectual dishonesty" emulatorloo Oct 2015 #174

... mcar Oct 2015 #200

So do you also claim that DWS does not operate Warren Stupidity Oct 2015 #264

"Or would you also prefer to ignore that particular claim?" emulatorloo Oct 2015 #379

Seriously? Warren Stupidity Oct 2015 #394

Thanks for clearing up my confusion, I didn't know the current year is 2007?!? emulatorloo Oct 2015 #398

I don't understand angrychair Oct 2015 #303

If you were not involved then I am not talking about you. bravenak Oct 2015 #314

Thank you angrychair Oct 2015 #321

She was one of her chairs for crying out loud. That alone puts them past passing ships in the night TheKentuckian Oct 2015 #158

I have friends. They do not control me. bravenak Oct 2015 #159

You and your friends aren't a bunch of high level politicians TheKentuckian Oct 2015 #212

That still does not prove Hillary controls her. bravenak Oct 2015 #214

Doesn't have to for it to spend about the same and it is an indicator of the realistic possibility. TheKentuckian Oct 2015 #251

Possibility is not fact and I don't run on that. Hillary knows alot of people. bravenak Oct 2015 #253

The Don has a lot of friends, huh. LOL TheKentuckian Oct 2015 #269

Lol! My bad. It did sound positively mafialike. bravenak Oct 2015 #272

This is the same guy that posted this link as "proof" of the protesters being "dragged off Number23 Oct 2015 #98

They just be coming up with all types of BLM fairy tales. bravenak Oct 2015 #153

Of course I'm clever. I make the style. bravenak Nov 2015 #440

DWS is doing Hillary's bidding jfern Oct 2015 #28

Proof? mcar Oct 2015 #31

Here jfern Oct 2015 #34

And still no proof of your contention mcar Oct 2015 #168

Well that's just false. Agschmid Oct 2015 #46

It's true, unlike Bernie and O'Malley, Hillary never asked for more than 6 debates jfern Oct 2015 #48

She is more than willing to participate in any additional DNC sanction debates... Agschmid Oct 2015 #51

She never asked for more than 6 jfern Oct 2015 #55

Lemme guess you asked her directly? Agschmid Oct 2015 #57

It's a fact that Hillary was the only campaign to not ask for more than 6 debates jfern Oct 2015 #58

It's a fact she is open to more. Agschmid Oct 2015 #63

If she wanted more debates, she'd ask for them jfern Oct 2015 #67

Ha... Agschmid Oct 2015 #75

Stop deflecting, my point wasn't about Republicans jfern Oct 2015 #79

Hillary said she is open to more debates. Agschmid Oct 2015 #81

Hillary never asked for more debates jfern Oct 2015 #86

Someone who doesn't want more debates doesn't say... Agschmid Oct 2015 #90

If she wanted more debates, she'd ask for them jfern Oct 2015 #116

She's probably quite happy with six. msrizzo Oct 2015 #144

OK, but BLM didn't get the debate they wanted because of that. jfern Oct 2015 #149

Why are you propagating a CT? Cha Oct 2015 #325

It's not a CT. All the candidates except her asked for more debates. jfern Oct 2015 #326

Hillary is certainly open to more debates.. she's ready. She'll knock it outta the park again Cha Oct 2015 #330
