In reply to the discussion: The clip of Hillary laughing with a Repug about bombing Iran deserves its own thread. [View all]chowder66
(9,136 posts)I do not see her laughing at the prospect of "taking them out" the way many here do.
It reads to me as a disagreeable laugh to what the gentleman said and was amplified by the seriousness of his statement and the cutting over to her after it went silent. It's more like a "fuck that, buddy, that's extreme shit you just said".
She even says, "We are working hard" twice > meaning diplomacy. He immediately backpedals to his previous statements regarding diplomacy first ("...we should try every possible avenue we can..." which shows that even he understood her laugh to mean "Whoa, what a minute buddy". She is laughing again, at those who say the best thing that could happen is if we were attacked by somebody because it unifies..., she clearly shows she is pushing back on the extreme statements she's been hearing ....and she ends it with "Hopefully we won't get to it", meaning war.
The context reads clear to me.
For the record; I am undecided. I like all three and I have my concerns but seriously... this is laughable. Pun totally intended.
