[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister-in-law just pointed out to me that our mutual mother-in-law posted something on Facebook comparing Hillary Clinton to Hitler.  She clearly doesn't realize how offensive this is, nor how much it makes evident just how stupid she is.  Interestingly, sister-in-law is one of those types who thinks family is always "worth it" - it's important for kids to have relationships with grandparents etc. even if they are obviously lunatics with crazy and offensive viewpoints.  I guess I'm not really convinced by that argument, and I don't want anything like the Hitler remark (god) brought up around my kid.  How do you set boundaries to keep a relationship positive, or is it even worth having?[/quote]

Why is this "so offensive" and evidence of her stupidity and lunacy?

Hillary Clinton is a public figure and a divisive one at that. Personally I cannot stand her and make insulting comments about her whiny nasal voice, her looks and her raw, naked ambition all the time. If she -- and her sheep-like followers -- can't take that, she shouldn't be running for public office.

Are you raising your child in a bubble OP?  Or would you be equally offended if MIL insulted Ted Cruz?[/quote]
