Hillary Clinton, who grew up in Chicago, spoke with a Southern accent during a swing through South Carolina on Wednesday.
 
At several points in her talk with minority women small-business owners, Clinton slowed her speech and lowered the timbre of her voice for a Southern drawl.

What an authentic breath of fresh air!

Yes, the comes and goes Southern accent is one of Hillary's few true weaknesses.

Eh, it seemed like she was pandering here. Weird way to pander though, haha.

Honestly though, I don't really care about that. This isn't a substantive criticism. She's a poltician. Politicians pander. As long as their policies are in the right place when they enter the White House, I'm fine with it.

One substantive thing I did pick up here though is that Hillary mentions electing Democrats downballot as well, and makes a point of it. Is she really going to try to take back both the Senate and the House? Boy I hope so, but I'm starting to adjust my expectations to 2022 for taking back the House.

Wait... she did this again? Seriously? Scary...

Democrats sure got it good. MSNBC would be leading with this for weeks if a Republican ever did this. Or came close to do anything like this.

Oh GMAFB, dude, this was hilarious.  She's clearly pandering.

Of course she's pandering, but who cares? This isn't going to change anybody's mind once they enter the voting booth in November.

Like everyone else has said, this is a non-story.

Well, she did live in Arkansas. It's not like she's completely alien to the south. While it's a bit cringey, she's not going to lose support because of it.

Didn't say it'd affect anyone's voting, and it shouldn't.  I just think it's funny to watch people try to defend it.  It's okay to laugh at Hillary.

Is she going to say she was under sniper fire again as well to garner sympathy.

She does this because she is uncomfortable with who she is. She thinks she cannot connect. So she engages in these parodies of herself.

So Hillary cares about presentation in a way that she'll adjust her accent slightly to make her audience feel comfortable. It's an awkwardly endearing part of her personality, IMO. Shes allowed to have her quirks Tongue

Guess what... people, often without knowing shift their accent to suit their audience. Lord knows I do it... or have been told so.

If people are going to hyperventilate every... single... time... that Hillary opens her mouth, I really recommend investing in a paper bag company.

It's not a hyperventilation. It's showing you what  a GOP candidate would be mocked ad nauseum for and derided as "fake" when she gets essentially a free pass. I'm surprised TheHill.com, a far-left outlet, covered this

Did Howard "Yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!" Dean tell you that she wouldn't lose support?

I loathe fake folksiness because most of the time it's intended to deceive by presenting the person as someone they're not. George Bush, for instance, really made people think of him as some sort of folksy Texas cowboy who lived on a ranch, instead of a spoiled New England / Yale dynast.

With Hillary, everyone knows she doesn't have a southern accent normally and of course she knows no one is going to think she speaks this way normally. So it's more of a personality quirk than a misrepresentation. Lief's link is actually correct... When I find myself in a group of people with a certain lingo/slang or accent, I've found myself adopting the same before too, because that is just how communication happens in that group. Of course, I don't know if code switching is Hillary's reason because I'm not her, but that seems like the most likely cause.

One of your candidates is currently defending a pedophile, and you think adopting an accent is the most important issue? Roll Eyes

And we all know that a Democrat candidate for President would never defend a pedophile.

"In a sworn affidavit aiming to coerce a psychiatric evaluation of the sixth-grade victim, [Hillary] Clinton during the case nearly 40 years ago called into question the girl's emotional stability, arguing she had exhibited "a tendency to seek out older men and engage in... fantasizing." She added, citing a child psychology expert that "children in early adolescence tend to exaggerate or romanticize sexual experiences and that adolescents with disorganized families, such as the complainant, are even more prone to such behavior."

I suppose you think those accused of pedophilia shouldn't receive legal representation. Why do you hate the constitution?
