Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has her own obsession with supposed right-wing conspiracies, going back to the days of her husband’s administration. But her continued attempt to attribute the insane actions of the mentally deranged alleged shooter Jared Loughner to political extremism and mentioning his actions in the same breath as al Qaeda is beyond the pale.
Clinton should recant at once. Otherwise, if President Obama really meant what he said in his Tuscon speech about moving beyond the finger-pointing rhetoric of the last few days, he must ask for his Secretary of State’s resignation.
Clinton’s disgraceful rhetoric started at the beginning of this week in the Middle East, when she equated “extremism” in this country, as supposedly demonstrated by the Arizona shooter, with extremism in the Arab world.
Unbowed, Clinton elaborated later in the week during an interview with CNN. Asked to explain the comments she had made about extremists and Jared Loughner, she continued to characterize what happened in Tuscon – without a shred of evidence – as criminal activity connected to extremist political views.
Here is an excerpt from her interview with CNN‘s Jill Dougherty:
QUESTION: On this trip, you’ve had some very interesting comments about extremists when you made that comparison between extremists in this region and extremists in the United States. You mentioned the man who unfortunately shot Congresswoman Giffords. Were you rushing to judgment on his motivations (inaudible) shooting people? And also, could you explain a little bit about what you meant by it?

He doesn’t dare turn her loose in the world of politics again.
The Clintons are intellectually brilliant, but they tragically (for many other than themselves) suffer from seeing the world’s people as a collection of “enemies,” or “friends”. Perhaps this is what too much politicking will do for you. Their disease has in many instances robbed of them of the ability to serve their country responsibly.
I think she’s become violent and resentful as a result of losing the nomination and extreme alcoholism.
Did you see her drunkazz fall in to the plane?
So sad...
...that I laughed.
blame, blame, blame...yada, yada, yada, same old song... hey hilllereee, why not learn a NEW TUNE. The extremism and conspiracy and right wing is so old hat. Try to keep up will ya and oh yeah, next time something happens ... read the article first before making assinine statements like you did and....on FOREIGN SOIL to boot. Apologize for yourself and your husband if you feel the need or feel guilty about something but don’t bring us into it.
Shame on you who has no shame but then again...what else is new when it comes to you and your husband.
She has the look of someone cursed with an unlimited booze expense account, and no real friends.
“A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips.”
Ain’t life amazin’?
The “smartest women in the world” is as bright as a burned out bulb, and the “smartest president in the world” is dumber than a box of dirt.
Gotta love it.
Keep it up, Hillabeast and Obamaloon. You’re rockin’....right out of all respect.
This has from day been a venous and hateful person who needs to leave and and NOT do more damage,Also if Palin runs we need to support her 1000% as this is EXACTLY what drove the outburst from that cellulite riddled drunken hag.
Just because your paranoid, doesn’t mean that they are all not out to get you..
Weak minded should not serve.
Therein lies the false premise. The part that everyone is ignoring from Obama's statement at the campaign rally in Tucson is that it contains an indirect acknowledgement that rhetoric was indeed to blame for the Safeway massacre. He called for people refrain from blaming any specific individual, while still citing the climate that the harsh rhetoric has created.
Get real!
The Clinton’s never served their country.
The Clinton’s served themselves.
So, now it’s a, “vast extremist-wing conspiracy”.
ANYTHING 0bama says is for expediency and political gain only!
She has been looking dirty lately. Her hair is dirty. YUCK.
LOL
She’s just being herself.
Early early supporter of Arafat’s PLO
