How true, Hillary! WE know!

[yallerdawg]

Last night, John Oliver pointed out there is a difference between "believing it to be a fact" and "a fact."

From the Clinton/Kaine "60 Minutes" interview:

Scott Pelley: I was speaking to a young African-American man just the other day in a Democratic state. And he said, and I'll quote, "You know, I guess I would vote for Hillary except for that corruption problem," end quote. As I talked to him further, he didn't quite know what he meant by that. But that was his impression and concern. Why do you think people say that about you?

Hillary Clinton: Well first, I will take responsibility for any impression or anything I've ever done that people have legitimate questions about. But I think that it's fair to say there's been a concerted effort to convince people like that young man of something, nobody's quite sure what, but of something. I often feel like there's the Hillary standard and then there's the standard for everybody else. And--

Scott Pelley: What's the Hillary standard?

Hillary Clinton: Well, it-- it is-- you know, a lot of as you at the Republican convention-- unfounded, inaccurate, mean-spirited attacks with no basis in truth-- reality, which take on a life of their own. And for whatever reasons and I don't want to try to analyze the reasons. I see it. I understand it. People are very willing to say things about me, to make accusations about me that are-- I don't get upset about them anymore, but they are very regrettable.

1. She's absolutely correct and the evidence is clear.

It's well documented on the web and elsewhere.

The media need to stop promoting the misinformation and to start raising questions when others put it out there.

3. When I try to discuss Hillary with her haters...

it usually ends up with:

2. People say the most unsubstantiated, deranged things about her

and when they do, they reveal a lot about their own unresolved issues. They need a scapegoat for their personal distress and Hillary becomes the perfect person for them to target. It relieves them of having to do the work of examining what is wrong with themselves. The stories are so outlandish and personal it is obvious that they are projecting. When someone starts spewing that garbage, I am ashamed for them and disgusted. It is exactly like listening to a bigot trashing minorities. That Hillary has found a way to rise above all that makes me admire her all the more. She is an outstanding role model.

5. Thank you, Cha!

It's nice to see it's sort of safe for us to be able to post OP's and comments all over DU again - "but there's no place like home!"
