Clinton condemns Liberty University head's call to 'end those Muslims'

Source: The Guardian

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Sunday delivered a sharp rebuke to the president of a prominent Christian university who two days earlier encouraged students to acquire concealed carry gun permits to “end those Muslims”.

...snip...

Clinton told ABC News on Sunday that Falwell was aiding Islamic State militants with such comments.

“This is the kind of deplorable – not only hateful response to a legitimate security issue, but it is giving aid and comfort to Isis and other radical jihadists,” she said.

“With respect to the gun issue, it’s legal to buy a gun in America. If you are eligible to buy a gun, you can go buy a gun – and hundreds of thousands of people apparently are in the aftermath of what happened in San Bernardino.”

Man! I LOVE a strong, outspoken woman! She will make an excellent president who will not allow obstructionist Republicans to stop her from getting things done.

Any human being should say the same thing, and a lot more,.

My ex-wife is a 'strong outspoken woman." She would have told the guy to go fuck himself !

Did I start a thread?
Did I call her a liar?
Did I accuse her of "making love in every cubicle and penthouse on wall street?"
Did I say she had "An affair w Rich Greenspan?"

Did I do any of that?

No.

clown mode. There are so many (ssshh) weird comments, I have decided I just can not take any of them seriously.

I recently had a really interesting discussion about, of all things, reindeer and Christianity and Judaism.

“This is the kind of deplorable – not only hateful response to a legitimate security issue, but it is giving aid and comfort to Isis and other radical jihadists,” she said.

“With respect to the gun issue, it’s legal to buy a gun in America. If you are eligible to buy a gun, you can go buy a gun – and hundreds of thousands of people apparently are in the aftermath of what happened in San Bernardino.”


She calls the head of Liberty University a bigot for telling students to arm themselves against Muslims, yet she states that people in San Bernardino are arming themselves because of the same thing. So which is it?

And how do they know the potential murderers from the open carry wingnuts?

A lot of scared anxious students heavily armed and hoping for an excuse to shoot someone...what could go wrong?

this kind of racism and hate is really burnishing my views of her as the likely nominee. If she can be a president for ALL Americans, then maybe I can support her after all.

for someone who would state it is OK to kill in the name of a belief.

I don't care the belief, if the person would condone violence against someone who defamed their "prophet" or "Messiah" or whatever they should be gone.
