[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really was horrible that Hillary set such a bad example by calling people with different political opinions "deplorable." Now she's got half of the liberal sheep doing the same thing. They think it's smart to double down on the behavior that cost them the election. So stupid.[/quote]
Please provide the full quote, in context, in which HRC characterized all of Trump's voters as "deplorable."[/quote]
Still waiting.[/quote]
....."you could put half the Trump supporters into a basket of deplorables," and then she went on to accuse that half of being racists, homophobes, xenophobes, Islamophobes, you name it.

Twist it around however you want to try and excuse that, but that idiotic moment was just another example of her bad judgment. (Running up the popular vote in CA and bypassing swing states was another.)

You people really are physiologically incapable of being honest, aren't you?

(bold added for clarity)

"You know, [b]to just be grossly generalistic, [/b]you could put [b]half [/b]of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?

The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic -- you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people -- now how 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, [b]some[/b] of those folks -- they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America. But the[b] other basket [/b]...  are people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they're just desperate for change. It doesn't really even matter where it comes from. They don't buy everything he says, but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They won't wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroine, feel like they're in a dead-end. [b]Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well."[/b][/quote]
I KNEW you would try to defend her remarks. Twist it however you want, but she said generally speaking, you could put HALF the Trump supporters into a basket of deplorables. Then she went on to talk about the other half, who feel that nobody care a out them. But she still called HALF of Trump supporters racists, sexists, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophic - you name it.

DP. "Defend" her remarks? PP just provided the entire quote because the context does matter.

Personally, I think her comments were spot on. Half? That was being kind. You seem SO OFFENDED about these words. Seems like they really hit a nerve for you.

Yeah, like where have I heard THAT insult before? Libs need to get some new material. [/quote]
