So let's believe that Hillary saw Dr. King in 1961 or 1962 and was "inspired" to "pursue social justice", as she claims.

Why pray tell, did Hillary then support Barry Goldwater in 1964?

LOL! Remember when Al Gore claimed he declared war on the tobacco industry when his sister died of lung cancer in 1984? Yet, he gave a rousing pro-tobacco speech at a tobacco growers’ convention in 1988.

These lies are just casual daily discourse for liberal Democrats.

Because she wanted to pursue social justice.

If I were being obnoxious, I would say "Because Goldwater's back-to-the-founders'-ideals brand of conservatism wasn't incompatible with the idea that people of all races should be considered equal under the law."

...but in all honesty, I doubt that was her line of reasoning.

Actually, I'm about HRC's age. In 1964, MLK thrilled me and I proudly supported Barry Goldwater in 1964. MLK had not yet become a socialist, affirmative-action icon. The racial issues were real then.
