Hillary Clinton invoked Muhammad Ali today as she blasted Donald Trump for his attack on the federal judge assigned to handle one of the suits filed against Trump University.
"On a day that we are mourning Muhammad Ali, it's worth remembering that we live in a country where people can break down barriers, where they can worship their own god, where they can choose their own name, and where they can lead and follow their dreams as far as their hard work and talent will take them," Clinton told a fired up crowd of 1,200 packed into a high school gymnasium in Oxnard -- her first campaign rally since the boxing legend's passing.
"I've always believed that in America it doesn’t matter where your parents were born or what color your skin is, we’re judged by our words and our deeds, not our race, not our ethnicity, not our religion," she added....

An American Hero. Who the hell was he again? I thought he died years ago ( true story)
Hillary might want to edit out that part about being judged by her deeds (and misdeeds).
Amazing how Dems jump on the corpse wagon for political advantage before the body is cold.
A fired up crowd of 1,200, wow, that’s huge!! The other day she had a crowd of 3,000. I’m betting that her 5 biggest rallies are smaller than one standard size Trump rally.
Ali was not afraid in the ring or of bucking trends. In the 1984 election, after endorsing his friend and Democrat Jesse Jackson in the primary over eventual nominee Walter Mondale, Ali switched parties and threw his support behind the reelection bid of President Ronald Reagan. As the New York Times reported at the time, Ali explained his change by saying, ”He’s keeping God in schools and that’s enough.”
“When notified of this status, he declared that he would refuse to serve in the U.S. Army and publicly considered himself a conscientious objector. Ali stated that ‘War is against the teachings of the Holy Qur’an. I’m not trying to dodge the draft. We are not supposed to take part in no wars unless declared by Allah or The Messenger [ Elijah Muhammad ]. We don’t take part in Christian wars or wars of any unbelievers.’”

“On May 8, 1942, Elijah Muhammad was arrested for failure to register for the draft during World War II....returned to Chicago... Muhammad was arrested there, charged with eight counts of sedition for instructing his followers not to register for the draft or serve in the armed forces. Found guilty, Elijah Muhammad served four years, from 1942 to 1946, at the Federal Correctional Institution in Milan, Michigan....
“Muhammad preached his own version of Islam to his followers in the Nation. According to him, blacks were known as the ‘original’ human being, with ‘evil’ whites being an offshoot race that would go on to oppress black people for 6,000 years.”

Ali and Donald were friends. Hillary would never be caught dead with an African American
As one FReeper said: SHRILLARY...lol, loved that one.
Ali, formerly Cassius Clay, was a draft-dodger just like Hillary!’s husband.
Well, you certainly need to be judged by your deeds Shitllery.
Yes, you will be judged by your deeds unless your name is HRC or WJC and you run the Clinton Family Crime Syndicate.

How can anyone get “fired up” listening to her????
Speak for yourself, bitch.
I do not mourn the death of a muslim...I don't give a rat's ass who they were.
Stuff it, you sanctimonious old bat.
“...it’s worth remembering that we live in a country where people can break down barriers, where they can worship their own god, where they can choose their own name, and where they can lead and follow their dreams as far as their hard work and talent will take them,”...”
Precisely what the Socialist-Democrats, Hillary, and the NWO are trying to take away. PRECISELY.
We’ve already judged you on your words and your deeds, Hillary.
Go directly to Jail.
Do not pass Goldman Sacs.
Do not collect $200,000

I'd guess roughly 500 of them were the amen chorus which he takes from place to place or media sycophants. But I repeat myself.
