Clinton Portrays Herself as a Pro-Gun Churchgoer
NYT ^ | April 12, 2008 | Julie Bosman

Posted on 04/13/2008 11:12:06 AM PDT by stevie_d_64

VALPARAISO, Ind. - Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton managed to co-opt Mr. Obama’s message of hope and optimism, beginning a speech in Valparaiso, Ind., by talking about how positive and “fundamentally optimistic” Americans are.

“I disagree with Senator Obama’s assertion that people in our country cling to guns and have certain attitudes about immigration or trade simply out of frustration,” she said.

She described herself as a pro-gun churchgoer, recalling that her father taught her how to shoot a gun when she was a young girl and said that her faith “is the faith of my parents and my grandparents.”

She’s also antiabortion and in favor of lowering taxes for the rich.

How in the world does she escape being struck by lightning?

She will do any thing or tell any lie in order to seize power !

I was thinking of this pic. Since she’s “ church going”, she may have said, “ Say your prayers, Vince”.

Hillary is finally telling the truth. Evidence suggests that the Clintons prefer that guns be used, so long as the death can me made to look like a suicide or accident. And then they go to church and pray they will never be caught.

Do you suppose she said this in one of her funny accents?

The comments at the NYT are interesting....these are the people she would expect to vote for her but most of them can’t stand her. Nothing she has to say can be believed - by anyone. She only has herself to blame for that.

Ah, yes, Derrick Z. Jackson. Another affirmative-action columnist. Just like Leonard Pitts and Clarence Page, he’s spouting the liberal mantra from 20 years ago.

It used to be that the politicians made their lies "work." It took a talent, and they had to actually know something.

Now, they just slap any old words on the table, and the sycophants are forced to look ridiculous when they have to awkwardly pretend that the lies are plausible.

Well, I disagree with Leonard Pitts on practically everything, but he does write well. At least he knows how to properly string a sentence together so that it makes sense.

During the time Bill Clinton was running for Attorney General in Arkansas, he lost the first election - because of all the rumors regarding his womanizing beharior (and partly because the rumor concerned possible rape).

Undeterred .. the Clintons went down the street to a HUGE CHURCH .. which just happened to have their Sunday services on TV. Low and behold, every Sunday morning - there was Bubba sitting in his white robe - singing in the choir.

He won the next election.

THE CLINTONS WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET ELECTED - ANYTHING .. lie, cheat, steal, kill - you name it and they’ll do it.

You can’t be a “gun lover” and hate the military so much you do not allow them in uniform in the halls of the WH. You do not entertain terrorists and kiss traitors on the cheek and tell me you’re a “churchgoer”.

Hopefully .. more people have become informed over the years about the true character of the Clintons.

so Hillary was right next to NRA president Heston when he held up his musket?

so Hillary carried her musket to church with Sam Adams?

so Hillary is now a Minutman doing borderwatches?

geeze. Triangulation insanity.

Any thinking democrats have to be so humiliated by their candidates. I mean, the campaign on the dem side has been just one, non-stop gaffe-o-rama since the beginning. I've never seen such ineptitude and phoniness.

Let Chaos Reign!! Those who thought Hillary should have been put down in Ohio were wrong. I've never understood the knee-knocking fear Hillary induces among some Freepers. She is one of the most inept candidates in history (ditto Obama).
