During the 2008 presidential campaign, Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin referred to Madeline Albright's somewhat well-known saying, found on a Starbucks coffee cup, that "There's a special place in Hell for women who don't help other women." At the time, Albright, who served as Secretary of State under Bill Clinton, huffed: "Though I am flattered that Governor Palin has chosen to cite me as a source of wisdom, what I said had nothing to do with politics." She naturally followed that statement with an intense political attack on Palin and GOP presidential nominee John McCain.
Now that Democrat Hillary Clinton is running for president and is in danger of losing the New Hampshire primary by a substantial margin, Albright has decided that her statement has everything to do with politics, and that women who don't support Mrs. Clinton's candidacy and vote for her deserve that "special place in Hell."
Full context is in the following report by John McCormack at the Weekly Standard (bolds are mine througout this post):
Albright at Clinton Rally: 'Special Place in Hell for Women Who Don't Help Each Other'
At a rally before a few hundred people on Saturday, former secretary of state Madeleine Albright suggested that women who vote for Bernie Sanders are buying a one-way ticket to “a special place in Hell."
"There are some that are out there that don't understand the importance of why young women have to support Hillary Clinton," Albright said as she stood next to Hillary Clinton inside the gymnasium of Rundlett Middle School. "The story is not over. They are going to want to push us back. Appointments to the Supreme Court make all the difference."
"We tell our story about how we climbed the ladder, and a lot of you younger women don't think you have to—it's been done. It's not done," Albright continued. "And you have to help Hillary Clinton—[she] will always be there for you. And just remember, there's a special place in Hell for women who don't help each other."
Albright's scolding of young women came less than a week after voters under the age of 30 backed Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton by a staggering 70-point margin—84 percent to 14 percent. The Iowa caucus entrance poll didn't break down results by both age and gender, but the topline number indicates Sanders must have carried young female voters in Iowa by a hefty margin.
Those female Sanders supporters are all apparently headed for that "special place in Hell." At least Granite State women still have a chance to save their eternal souls by changing their minds and voting for Hillary.
When Albright criticized Palin, she chided her for using "support" instead of "help" as she quoted her statement. But as seen above, Albright now says that "support" of Hillary Clinton is what avoiding that "special place in Hell" is all about.
Here's another famous saying, actually a proverb, which appears to fit the situation quite nicely: "Desperate times require desperate measures."
The related video is extremely revealing:
Septuagenarian Clinton Surrogate Message To Young Women: Vote Clinton Or Go To Hell
Transcript:
We can all — we can tell our story about how we climbed the ladder. And a lot of you younger women don't think you have to — it's been done. It's not done, and you have to help. Hillary Clinton will always be there for you.
And just remember, there's a special place in Hell for women who don't help each other.
Clearly, Mrs. Clinton thought that what Albright said was funny as, well, hell.
There's not enough space here to discuss all of the female targets of Bill Clinton's libido and his acts of harassment and sexual violence for whom Hillary Clinton was most certainly not there.
To the Associated Press's credit, their running timeline (2:40 p.m.) on final weekend pre-primary developments quoted Albright's "special place in hell" sentence. I suspect that the quote won't appear at any other AP story.
The Iowa caucus results suggest that most women other than the "few hundred" present at the Clinton appearance — a "few hundred," on the Saturday before the nation's first presidential primary? Are you kidding? — strongly disagree with Albright, and find absolutely no humor in her remark.
Exit question: Speaking of deserving special places in Hell, how's that North Korea nuclear "treaty" Albright "negotiated" in 1994 working out? Not well, I see. Really not well.
Eww, now we’re all going to have nightmares and it’s all your fault.
You are right. I hadn’t noticed the resemblance until you mentioned it.
I know a woman who heard that and laughed out loud.
No way will that EVER convince her to vote for Hitlery.

Arafat Storms Out of Paris Meeting, Albright Chases
PARIS (Reuters) - Palestinian President Yasser Arafat angrily stormed out of Middle East peace talks in Paris on Wednesday but was persuaded to return by Secretary of State Madeleine Albright running after him, witnesses said.
Arafat, who met Albright and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak for several hours late on Wednesday, rushed out of the U.S. ambassador’s residence and jumped into his car shouting “This is humiliation. I cannot accept it!”
Albright, like Arafat clearly audible over a portable telephone on which a Palestinian negotiator was talking to a Reuters corespondent, ran out after him shouting to residence guards: “Shut the gates! Shut the gates!”
Once the gates to the courtyard of the elegant residence in central Paris were closed, Arafat got out of his car and returned to the residence for another meeting with Barak and Albright, the Palestinian negotiator said.
“It is amazing how many really, really stupid people have been and are in high places in our government. It’s a wonder we’ve survived as long as we have.”
Yes, it is considering these are elected and appointed officials not birthright monarchy officials.
between Gloria and Halfbright... these old ladies are not doing Hillary any favors
Special place in hell for anyone who dances the night away with Kim while his wards are building nukes.
and no I am not applying for the job...
Albright - isn’t she the Clinton Sec. of State who played a role in setting up the EU as a socialist’s utopia in order to provide a counter to American power after the breakup of the USSR???
79 come spring...yep..that is old...
Unfortunately younger people in general who are supporting Sanders haven’t a clue what socialists are....further they have such an insane sense of entitlement they’ll support any candidate that feeds that the most...they hear Sanders make all the promises for “Free-bees” like Obama and Hillary do but with more Gravy.
Clinton doesn’t get that these young woman know she’s old school/old issues and does not relate to their concerns today... Which isn’t womans rights. But you’re right it will be interesting to see how that plays out.
Madeline Albright: “There’s a special place in Hell for women who don’t help other women [kill their babies and sell their body parts].”
If we are going to take identity politics to its logical conclusion, I would have nobody to vote for - no old, fat, Christian Slavs in the race.
There is a special place in hell for this genocidal, mass murdering, monster.
Amen. When I think of those Serbian Churches ransacked by those Muslim scum, no thanks to her.
Madeline is also.
The picture of “Weasley” Clark is absent from that website.
It is getting harder and harder to find them over time.
Vermin Traitors.
Albright continued. "And you have to help Hillary Clinton-[she] will always be there for you. And just remember, there's a special place in Hell for women who don't help each other."
All-B**** herself called out women as damned "race traitors" if they don't vote for this vagina.
These same Stalinists were quite okay with misogyny against Sarah Palin when she was the VP nominee./B
Agree 100% And where was she when Sarah Palin was being raped by the media?
Oh, I forgot; Republican women aren’t real women. They are all Miss Gulch/Wicked Witch of the West.
Kind of looks like Rosa Kleb in a James Bond movie.
Albright has never been the sharpest tool in the shed.
