DO TELL! HILL RIPS GAY-GI RULE

Hillary Rodham Clinton is breaking with her husband on gays in the military, calling for the "don't ask, don't tell" policy to be replaced by show and tell.

Speaking to the nation's leading gay-rights group in an unannounced speech, the Democratic White House front-runner vowed to throw open the closet door for gays who want to serve in the military.

"This policy doesn't just hurt gays and lesbians, it hurts all our troops, and this to me is a matter of national security, and we're going to fix it," Clinton told the Human Rights Campaign.

"I am proud to stand by your side," Clinton said in the keynote speech Friday, which was not announced publicly.

Clinton, who has drawn criticism from the gay community for supporting civil unions but not gay marriage, discussed her support for same-sex unions and equality for gays.

Asked twice at a campaign stop in Iowa yesterday why she kept her speech in the closet, Clinton said, "You'll have to ask my campaign."

The Human Rights Campaign let the cat out of the bag by posting a video of the speech on its Web site.

A Human Rights Campaign spokesman said keynote speeches to the group are "always closed to the press, and we wanted to make [the remarks] available for people to see."

Clinton spokesman Blake Zeff said, "We're delighted that the speech at HRC's board meeting, which is traditionally closed to press, was posted on their Web site within hours."

When he was president, Bill Clinton infuriated many in the gay community by not backing efforts to allow openly gay individuals to serve in the military and instead pushing the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

The former first lady publicly opposed the policy in 1999 as she launched

Just think how much Hillary could have done for military gayness if only the US Marines had "allowed" her to enlist after Wellesley/Yale!...sarc

[Don Corleone]

Defending her own!

[Malone LaVeigh]

Makes you wonder why she even bothered with that southern accent business the other day. After this, she can kiss goodbye any hope she had of winning any southern states.

"Asked twice at a campaign stop in Iowa yesterday why she kept her speech in the closet, Clinton said, "You'll have to ask my campaign.""

huh?

[Piquaboy]

Show and tell! Show what?

[EndWelfareToday]

Bill's first act as president was his "don't ask don't tell" policy. It's obvious Mrs. Bill Clinton's first order of business will be to finish what her impotent, perverted, sex offending husband couldn't.

Can anyone please explain for me what it is that causes these two to be so obsessed with one's sexual orientation? They're fixated on advancing sick and twisted, child molesting perverts' behavior. I don't understand it. Sodomites don't make up enough of the voting block to make a dent in the actual total of votes cast in any General Election.

Personally I think this speaks volumes about Mr. and Mrs. Clinton's total lack of character don't you?

Sodomites don't make up enough of the voting block to make a dent in the actual total of votes cast in any General Election.

They got a ton of money, which they lavish on the Clintons.

I think it's patently obvious that Mrs. Clinton will say whatever she believes will please the particular crowd to whom she is speaking. Isn't there a word for one who will, for profit of some sort, sell themselves... or what they believe? I think it's often called "the oldest profession." Mrs. Clinton would back being a lesbian, muslim, martian, Christian or satan-follower in any given day if she gave speeches to a group of each on that day. So, it's more realistic to take anything she says -- any position she (temporarly) touts -- with a grain of salt. It's worthless -- as is she.

Sacrifice the black vote for the gay vote?

This ought to be fun.

[awakened]

Nah.... Only the dumbest of gays will fall for it. She's not pro-gay. She's only pro-Hillary.

[rjp2005]

Gimme a break. Homosexuality is vital to national security?? Get lost.

[RockinRight]

Trading 10% of the electorate for 1% of the electorate is apparently logical for her.

[wouldntbprudent]

Did she really say the responsibility for not publicizing this speech was with her campaign, not her?

[wastedyears]

****Asked twice at a campaign stop in Iowa yesterday why she kept her speech in the closet, Clinton said, "You'll have to ask my campaign."***

This dumb toad doesn't even come up with her own ideas! Nuts!!!

[ASOC]

LOL
""This policy doesn't just hurt gays and lesbians, it hurts all our troops, and this to me is a matter of national security, and we're going to fix it,"...

She is righter than she knows.


While in the ROK, at a time when very few female USAF pulled remote duty at small bases - one of the two females assigned tried to commit suicide. Seems her room mate was "totally gay" and she could get away from her.
So, I guess that example (one of many)and the resulting revulsion makes me homophobic, but even being around 'gay' folk just creeps me out. Ugh.

[little jeremiah]

Another one about this.

[kabar]

Nah.... Only the dumbest of gays will fall for it. She's not pro-gay. She's only pro-Hillary.

Hillary is gay.
