Hillary Clinton Wakes Up: ISIS Assault on Christians Is a 'Genocide'
PJ Media ^ | 12-31-2015 | Michael van der Galien

It has taken Hillary Clinton a while to admit it, but she's finally willing to call ISIS' assault on Christians what it is: genocide. From the Washington Post:

The comment came Tuesday at a town hall in Berlin, N.H., where a voter asked if she would join Pope Francis and others in calling the assault on Christians and other religious minorities “by its proper name: ‘Genocide’?” the voter asked, according to the Associated Press. The former secretary of state answered that she had held back on using the term because of the legal implications and the weight, but now “I will because now we have enough evidence.” Spoken like a true lawyer. Evidence of Muslim genocide has been public for years, so it's telling that Hillary only feels there's enough to state the obvious now. If you didn't know any better, you'd think she's only doing so because she hopes to appeal to some Christian voters, who may have qualms about the Democratic Party's increasingly anti-Christian policies.

It appeared to be an impromptu comment made at a low-profile moment. But Hillary Clinton’s use of the word “genocide” to describe the Islamic State’s treatment of Christians could change her political profile among some voters — conservative Christians in particular. Some conservative Christians responded immediately. Said Kathryn Jean Lopez of National Review: "Thank you Hillary Clinton." She was joined by Chris Seiple, a government adviser on religious affairs who is also an activist for Christians in the Middle East, who called Hillary's statement "a very important shift that will directly impact the presidential race"...

She is SO concerned about Genocide of Christians by MUSLIMS she vastly increased Mideast CHRISTIAN refugee asylum to this country during her tenure as Secretary of State.....NOT.

I’m just wondering how she’s going to condemn ISIS while trying not to say the word “muslim” in the same sentence.

No one screamed "genocide" more than Obama's UN Secretary Samantha Power. Yet, she has managed to remain silent while her boss looks the other way. Samantha was the genocide queen. Now she just remains mostly silent on the issue. some_text

She is absolutely scary.

She tries to come across as some great intellectual but she’s always just spewing stupid gas. She’s an idiot.

The curtain over her eyes was willful, not a ‘mistake’. It will be pulled back after the election.

You can turn this (exagerated):

“ “Myra Belle “Sally” Miller — the 195”8 Miss Arkans”as who said in 19”92 that she had ”had an affair with Clin”ton in 1983. ”She claimed” that she” had been ”warned no”t to go public by a Demo”cratic” Party official: “They knew that I went jogg”ing by myself and he couldn’t guar”antee what would happen to my pr”etty little legs.” “

Into this:

"Myra Belle "Sally" Miller -- the 1958 Miss Arkansas who said in 1992 that she had had an affair with Clinton in 1983. She claimed that she had been warned not to go public by a Democratic Party official: "They knew that I went jogging by myself and he couldn't guarantee what would happen to my pretty little legs."

Real easy here:

Replace smart quotes with regular straight quotes

It runs in the family ..... personally, I've never quite gotten over this. I think Bill touched down in Rwanda for a short time, long enough to hand the officials a wooden plaque that essentially said "sorry".

US chose to ignore Rwandan genocide

FRONTLINE - "The Triumph of Evil"

NARRATOR: Before his speech to government officials, President Clinton had a private audience with a few survivors of the genocide and listened silently to their horrifying stories. Afterward he presented the president of Rwanda with a plaque honoring the victims of genocide. President Clinton would spend just three and a half hours in Kigali. He never left the airport, and the engines of Air Force One never shut down.

Simple, they aren't the Islamic State anymore, they are "Daesh". Mission accomplished!

Is she advocating rescuing the Christians from the Middle East and to leave their Muslim killers behind? If it is genocide, why not?

“”she had held back on using the term because of the legal implications and the weight””

Tell me people (voters) aren’t going to fall for this gibberish...... Make her explain what it means.
