Secretary of State Hillary Clinton insulted her country while traveling in the Middle East this past week and participating in a televised feel-good town hall-style meeting at a college in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
This is nothing new for the Obama administration, which makes a habit of trying to make dysfunctional societies feel better by highlighting our faults and engaging in a game of moral equivalency. However, Clinton took this game to a whole new, disgraceful level.
Twisting the truth about the alleged Arizona murderer, Jared Loughner, Clinton characterized him as an “extremist” influenced by “the crazy voices that sometimes get on the TV.” There is no evidence for her to make such a connection. In fact, the evidence adduced so far shows that Loughner is simply a nutjob. The voices he hears are all in his head. Nevertheless, Clinton used the tragic shooting to tell her Abu Dhabi audience that we are on the same level as they are when it comes to the threat from extremists lurking in our respective societies.
Clinton got into this discussion when she was asked why Americans appear to blame the entire Arab world for 9/11. Instead of firmly dispelling the myth that Americans blame all Arabs or all Muslims for 9/11 and pointing out Americans’ legitimate concerns with the widespread fundamentalist strains of Islam that call for jihad and hatred against non-Muslims, our Secretary of State sought fit to say the following:
We have the same kind of problems…the extremists and their voices, the crazy voices that sometimes get on the TV, that’s not who we are, that’s not who you are, and what we have to do is get through that and make it clear that doesn’t represent either American or Arab ideas or opinions.

If there’s any doubt the left hates this country, there should be none now.
I have read posts in the FR indicating a preference for HER instead of our dear leader. I have always asserted that SHE is every bit as radical as our dear leader. SHE loathed the military during her co-presidency. SHE was the most despicable lying and scheming person until winning the Senate election. If justice applied to rats, SHE would have spent 20 years in hard labor for HER crimes.
Clinton is a loon. That’s why Obama threw her @$$ out of the United States and only allows her in the country for a couple days every other month.
Hillary was an extremist before she was a “moderate”.
She is such a stupid buffoon....a disgrace to the word “woman”.
She demonstrates every time she opens her Marxist mouth, a contempt for Truth, reason, logic, and science. She should become a Russian or Chinese citizen for her ideas are the opposite of this country which is based on Natural Law Theory which is reliant on a Higher Power.
She wants to destroy those concepts which made this the greatest country on earth—that our rights come from God, not her and her husband.
The queen of conspiracy will look more like a fool as this plays out.
What comes around, goes around. Everyone will get what they deserve in the end. They always do.
Both, admirers of Saul Alinsky.
I don’t know...I think she’s just a coward really. She’s over in the Middle east sitting across the table from these camel rapers and she just doesn’t know what to say.
I mean, she’s afraid of them, doesn’t want to annoy them. She doesn’t have the self-confidence to speak the truth with guys like these, not like Thatcher did. So she just gives a conciliatory smile to avoid getting hit by the big hairy man, and mouths off some weak platitudes that basically agree with whatever he says.
It’s a stereotypically feminine method of conflict avoidance. The most powerful nation on earth is presenting a diplomatic face to the world that acts like a cringing, battered wife who will say anything to avoid the next argument.
LOL
I forgot one thing. I’d put a sign on Hillary’s pen “PLEASE DON”T FEED THE PIG”.
