Why Terry Gross Was a Mistake for Hillary Clinton (it was a devastating interview)
nationaljournal.com ^ | 6/13/2014 | Alex Seitz-Wald

Posted on 06/14/2014 6:22:40 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

On Wednesday, during a tense exchange lasting more than seven minutes, Gross asked Clinton 10 different ways about the evolution of her stance on gay marriage. But, unlike some recent TV interviews Clinton has given, the takeaway was not Gross's pointed inquiries, but the fact that they seemed to get under Clinton's skin, who snapped back at her interlocutor.

"You know, I really, I have to say, I think you're being very persistent, but you are playing with my words and playing with what is such an important issue," Clinton said after trying to put the issue to rest several times.

Gross, attempting to smooth tension with a chuckle, replied, "I'm just trying to clarify so I can understand ... "

But Clinton fired back, "No, I don't think you are trying to clarify. I think you're trying to say that I used to be opposed, and now I'm in favor, and I did it for political reasons, and that's just flat wrong. So let me just state what I feel like you are implying and repudiate it."

The moment was over soon after that, and the interview moved onto friendlier territory for another 30 minutes, but America Rising, the GOP opposition research group, had already clipped the audio and blasted it out online, eclipsing anything else Clinton had to say.

Now if somebody would just ask her why we were in Benghazi shipping Stinger missiles from the Libyan rebels to al Qaeda terrorists in Syria.

Well, I know mostly conservative leaning people. But just of women I know, none of them like Hillary, and none of them want to see her become president. Some are embarrassed at Hillary, and the thought that she could be the first woman president.

her guests turned the tables, asking her why she doesn’t wear skirts. By the time they were through with her, they were asking her why she was afraif of her own femininity

That, I would have liked to have heard.

Otherwise, she grates on me.

I had to listen to the Gene Simmons interview and it was all it was cracked up to be. Glad to see Gene turn the interview around on Gross and then ending was great!

Gene Simmons of KISS, was grotesquely obscene with her

I won't defend vulgar behavior towards a woman, not for a second. But it's worth noting that Simmons is a known conservative, and he is a strong supporter of Israel.

A Simmons quote, from Wikipedia:

"I wasn't born here. But I have a love for this country and its people that knows no bounds. I will forever be grateful to America for going into World War II, when it had nothing to gain, in a country that was far away... and rescued my mother from the Nazi German concentration camps. She is alive and I am alive because of America. And, if you have a problem with America, you have a problem with me."

I didn't hear the interview, but perhaps Simmons was trying to shake Gross up, get her off her game.

No it’s some other lesbian cohort of hers that she has around as her “assistant”. Probably Muslim as well.

Yep. Hitlery is way past prime time. I doubt she will end up even running. Look for Andrew Cuomo to be the 2016 Dem candidate.

Whoa, that's a beauty there. Is she trying to look like Andy Dick on purpose? They could be twins.

This interview has created a lot of chatter on the 'net, but has been ignored in the mainstream....and will be "fixed" the next time Hitlery is interviewed by a sycophant.

There’s nothing conservative about anyone who makes his living playing for KISS.

He was. He understands her -at least superficial- "even-handed" approach to EVERYTHING. He took the concept and pushed it to the limit, trying to get her to react in principle to ANYTHING. I don't think she ever did. It's been a while since I heard it. You can probably find it on YouTube.

What was in it for Gross to do that when they want the first female pants suit in the White House? I don’t get this.

Actually Terry Gross looks like the result of if Rand Paul and Andy Dick had a baby.

+ =

Maybe throw in a bit of Lyle Lovett for good measure.

This picture reminds me that Hillary is as brilliant and competent as she is beautiful.
