Hillary Clinton - They ( black men) All look alike.

I.C.K!

I Can't Know?

No, just ick. As in icky. Or yucky icky.

The comment is either racist or not.

Eh...I disagree. Tone is extremely important. If Trump said it in the way Clinton said it, i.e. as a joke, effectively mocking the interviewer, it wouldn't be racist, even if Trump is a racist. Being a racist doesn't mean you automatically believe every racist stereotype.

I agree obviously. I think she was mocking the reporter for confusing black congressmen. But if Trump did tell same, in the same tone. People in the media and on these forums would lose their fucking minds. I have no doubt.

Because context and personal history matter.

LOL< I'm not going to say it would surprise me if she did...but I am going to say that I wish it would surprise me. The dems are great at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Yeah, 2016 has shown that even when Hillary Clinton wins, she still loses.

[Amarok]

The story is about her taking heat for it.  In what universe is that getting a pass, and are we over billary or not - it's been what, 25 years?

Lol..

When I see this story on major network TV, or even NPR, then I will consider it covered.

If Trump said the same thing - it would be a headline for days.

You' re lying to yourself if you believe otherwise.

Condemnation is still condemnation

It's called context . I can believe Hillary had no racist intent . Trump on the other hand ........

With good reason IMNSHO.

I don't think there is ever really a good reason to misrepresent what someone says. Irregardless of the person. I always want to have someone's thoughts and ideas as accurate as possible. What possible good does an uncharitable reading do anyone?

For example, if you believe Trump said 'Mexicans are rapists' then you just aren't paying attention or being accurate to what's being said. If you then use that quote as evidence that if Trump said something like this it would be racist then you are stuck in a cycle of partisanship that just clouds your thinking and makes you are dumber person over all. This is irregardless of how much your agree or disagree with a person. I mean how would you even know if you are giving someone an inaccurate or uncharitable reading of everything they say?

It assumes it's uncharitable

No shit.

Why?

Let it go, man. She's retired and not even running for office. Sheesh.

She was commenting on Swisher’s possible racism and pointing out that she had the two men straight in her own head but Swisher didn’t. It may have been a little snarky but it wasn’t racist. But if you want her to bow down in shame I’m sure she will.

She's more likely to bust some more balls instead of bowing down in shame.

A vampire isn't really dead until you drive an ash stake through it' s heart, burn the body, and scatter the ashes to the four winds........

No, just ick. As in icky. Or yucky icky.

It ain't nothing creepy, just a pic of her shaking hands with a doctor in Estonia back in the day, while investigating how to improve the US healthcare system, through bringing about universal healthcare. I find it inspirational. No ick factor in sight. Bad dog

Look at you, all poetic and stuff.

(Also, make sure your replies are outside the quote boxes.)

Yeah, the News is a pain in the ass like that.  Okay:

Trump called for death penalty after Central Park jogger attack, and still has no sympathy for accused despite convictions overturned...

Blimey. Thanks for the info, distasteful as it is. I guess admitting an error is not compatible with being a racist narcissistic demagogue.
