What has Hillary done to deserve the benefit of the doubt?

[senseandsensibility]

When, during this campaign, has she resisted a cheap shot, taken the high road, or shown moral courage?

In addition, when Obama made a verbal gaffe, she pounced with glee. But for Hillary, that was nothing new. She also pounced on John Kerry's poorly contstructed joke about soldiers, helping to end his 2008 candidacy. Everyone knew that John Kerry would give his life for his fellow soldiers, yet Hillary threw him overboard. Now she wants a pass from her fellow Dems.

I don't think she deserves a pass She has done nothing during this campaign to earn it. It's as simple as that.

[skooooo]

1. hear crickets?

[senseandsensibility]

23. Not one example of her taking the high road

Very telling, I agree.

[JVS]

2. Nothing. After you throw the kitchen sink, you don't get BOTD and you don't get to use clumsy speech

[NJmaverick]

3. I have raised this point myself. It's not like she has a body of great service

to either the Country or the Democratic party, to back her up.

[SoFlaJet]

7. what are you TALKING about

she sponsored an anti-flag burning bill...

[NJmaverick]

12. OMG!!!! I didn't believe you, because what you said was so outragious

I had to look it up and confirm. All I can say is OH MY GOD!!!!:wow:

[WA98296]

4. Well she's mentioned "assassination" three times (per MSNBC) she's left NO DOUBT

[SoFlaJet]

5. say Obama and her were in each other's shoes

say SHE were leading and Obama said the same thing about her, what would the reaction be then?

[JVS]

6. Better yet, pretend rev. Wright said it.

[SoFlaJet]

9. yea I'm sure Bobby Jr.

would have come right out and defended that

[Waya]

8. Immediate pressure........

.......to get going and get going fast........ provided he would still be there after 11 losses in a row........

10. He'd be run out of the election on a rail that's what.

And probably asked to resign his Senate seat, which is exactly what I'm calling Clinton's Senate offices monday to demand of her.

[SoFlaJet]

13. Save it for Tuesday shadowknows69

Monday is Memorial day

[shadowknows69]

14. Shit, I'm so incensed by this whole thing I keep forgetting that

And there aren't too many Holidays that mean more to me.

11. If she ran a positive campaign this wouldnt be happening to her

But she ran a campaign of exploiting every single thing Obama said and going on Fox News to trash Obama. No thanks, she reaps what she sowed. No forgiveness.

[Darth_Kitten]

15. Didn't post on GD:P ?

n/t

[senseandsensibility]

16. LOL

But neither did Obama (as far as I know), so it's a wash.

[Major Hogwash]

17. Now you know why her lie about "ducking sniper fire" was so offensive to the rest of us

Veterans who actually have ducked sniper fire!!

There is no benefit of the doubt for me.
She's way beyond it.

Maybe her "hard working Americans, white hard working American" supporters are more biased than they thought.

[senseandsensibility]

24. I always knew why it was offensive

I never defended Hillary on that or anything else.

[Carolina]

18. she never showed moral courage before the

campaign. Look at her IWR vote, her failure to speak out against the Iraq war before it became politically expedient to do so (just before her POTUS campaign), her sidling up to John Kerry's joke/gaffe detractors...

She is a craven, narcissistic, sociopathic power junkie.

[senseandsensibility]

22. Yes, it's a serious character flaw

That's when I noticed it, too. It will continue to show througout her political life. Some of the incidents will be trivial, but as with her IRW vote, many will not. We don't need this in a President or a candidate.

[BlooInBloo]

19. Well she's white. Isn't that enough?

[cbc5g]

20. You're right, she doesnt deserve the benefit of the doubt

Not after the campaign she ran against Obama. NO WAY.

[populistdriven]

21. she promised me a duck in every pot

[senseandsensibility]

25. LOL

But still, no examples of her taking the high road or not pouncing on other Dems whenever she had the chance.

[City Lights]

26. Nothing.

She's the queen of piling on, taking cheap shots, and playing the victim card.

Hillary is out for herself. Period.

The time for cutting her slack came and went.
