Hillary Clinton has said some stupid things but this is simply astonishing:
"This is what we call smart power," Clinton said to a small audience at Georgetown. "Using every possible tool and partner to advance peace and security. Leaving no one on the sidelines. Showing respect even for one's enemies. Trying to understand, in so far as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view. Helping to define the problems, determine the solutions. That is what we believe in the 21st century will change -- change the prospects for peace."

It leaves you shaking your head:
Former Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North, a Fox News host, said the comments are “irrational.”“I can’t think of a presidential candidate who would have said those kinds of things,” he said. “Think about December 7, 1941 and then FDR going to the Congress of the United States the next day saying, ‘We need to have more empathy for Japan.’”
Can you imagine George Bush standing atop the rubble of the World Trade Center with his bullhorn saying
"I hear you! And soon the people who took these buildings down will be getting more respect and empathy from us!"
Sweet Jesus.
Hillary's version of smart power is respecting those who just murdered Luke Somers.

I sure as hell don't want another "leader" who bows and curtsies to our enemies. Hey! Stupid! They see this as weakness, not respect, and all they understand is power. Plus, most American's have zero respect for animals who slaughter their own children.
“Smart Power”, “Leading from behind”, “peace in our time” all euphemisms for appeasement.
SMRTist woman in the world.
But not Republicans!
Acceptng donations from child murderers, women mutilators, and human rights violators is as despicable as it gets but now they have a hand in manipulating thier puppet politician who is now beholden to them and not the American people. We need to realize that we have a government that is being controlled by outsiders with an American face to it
Man...those chompers would make a great bottle opener...
THEN CAN WE KILL THEM?
“Yada, yada, yada...”
Does she even listen to herself when she speaks??
I say kill 'em first, but do so with empathy and respect.
“Trying to understand, in so far as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view.”
Wow. We only need to repeat her words. Adding my opinion on them would add nothing.
If Jews had had more empathy for Hitler, things would have turned out much better... /sarc
That is one smelly group of people.
Yup....along those lines...
My GOD that is one f-ing stupid woman!!
Hillary needs to go over there to give hugs all around.
