I could name 3 on the Right who think this way. Unbelievable.

During her recent speech before a half empty auditorium at Georgetown University, former Secretary of State and Democrat Party frontrunner for the White House in 2016, Hillary Clinton suggested that we try to see things from our enemy’s perspective. And I quote, “Showing respect even for one's enemies. Trying to understand, in so far as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view.”
Suggesting that we must “empathize” with the likes of ISIS, Boko Harum, al Qaeda, Iran and North Korea to name just a few seems a bit of a stretch. But I guess we must take Ms. Clinton at her word. Though after meeting with her political advisors following her speech I’m sure a clarification about what she ‘really said’ will soon be forthcoming. As often happens when Hillary’s tongue gets in front of her eye teeth and she can’t see that what she’s saying is just plain stupid.
But it does make one wonder about that phone call at three o’clock in the morning she’s always telling us about. Will she pick up the phone and ask Kim Jong Un, “How’s the foot feeling ?”; or when Mullah Omar of the Taliban calls will she ask, “How’s your wife (or wives) and kids doing ?”; and after accepting the Iranian leader’s collect call will she say, “I guess I can see your point about wanting to blow us up” ?
Considering her enormous record of achievement as secretary of state, such as,…………Considering her enormous support among Democrats and the liberal media, Hillary can get away with saying any number of stupid things. Her political advisors, aides and her allies in the news media will quickly swoop in to sweep up, after her messing up, as she once again says something so ridiculous that it begs one to question whether she’s fully recovered from that concussion she claims to have suffered. You know, the one that delayed her testifying before the congressional committee looking into the Benghazi attacks until she had her table pounding indignation fully rehearsed.
I guess we’ll just have to sit back and enjoy the entertainment as her advisors and media allies try to undo the potential damage her recent and future remarks might cause her political ambitions. After all, the heir apparent to Barack Obama can’t appear to be as clueless and out of touch as he has for the past six years.
But that’s just my perspective. I wonder if Hillary empathizes ?
What a bunch of utter drivel. Sure, figure out their perspective so you can fight them better. Not so you can kiss their ass.
Answer: She is reality for America 2014 AD. Just look in the White House for the depths to which Americans can sink. America as we knew it is gone.
I’m still waiting for Hillery! to empathize with
the conservative American people.
This was a carefully thought, preplanned statement that was intended to try and assuage all manner of audience.
Despite clearly recalling this rehearsed statement from memory, she had to refer to her notes to get the nuanced equivocations down correctly.
In the end, it is appeasing PC bullshit.
She has witnesses how stupid Americans can be to sit back and allow Obama to say the most ridiculously ignorant crap so she going to really let it rip and tell people exactly what she really thinks about things.
Please have this dangerously stupid comment clarified by this idiot and let America know which of our former enemies we should have chi so-called empathy for?
This is why people who have never been part of the Military be President.

she is still stuck on Reset button stupid.
Is she a Putin tool?
“Empathize With Our Enemies?”
Now she wants us to empathize with her, Obama, his administration and the entire democrat party?
What a maroon!
What she MEANT to say was, “we need to grok our enemies before we can confront them.” Something that goes back to her childhood neighbor, Michael Valentine Smith.
Hillary, who are you trying to impress with that new age gobbeldygook? You can’t keep buttering both sides of the bread.

COMMIE BITCH
Was she talking about “the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy”?
I’d prefer the Starship Troopers approach.
“Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.”
She is one of them what’s gonna climb into a bear cage at the zoo.
Sorry, can't take credit for this thought. My wife came of up with it yesterday.
Actually she is right. Empathize is not the same as sympathize. We should empathize with our enemies so we can understand them and then use that knowledge to destroy them. Same with Hillary.
I’m just happy that somebody caught the reference.
For libtards, morality is empathy.The goal of libtards is to act in a nurturing way toward others as much as possible, and nurturing requires empathy.But,the strong form of empathy is irrational because it requires choosing your actions on the basis of the feelings of others, with no regard for whether or not their values are evil and contradict your own.
