Does she have any sense at all?

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Just goes to show how incompetent she is.

[SWE]

One of the few times Hillary is actually talking sense.

[OSR stands with Israel]

She keeps making herself look worse and worse

[Likely Voter]

she should get a warning for hyperbole.

[°Leprechaun]

I think that she is just telling Democrats many of whom are "pro choice", what they want to hear. She is being a typical politician. Anyway, for the record, here is what she said,

"Now, extreme views about women, we expect that from some of the terrorist groups, we expect that from people who don't want to live in the modern world, but it's a little hard to take from Republicans who want to be the president of the United States," Clinton said. "Yet they espouse out of date, out of touch policies. They are dead wrong for 21st century America. We are going forward, we are not going back."

[°Leprechaun]

Let's not forget anti-abortion people use some pretty strong hyperbole as well. sometimes anyway

[Lief 🗽]

Sounds about right. Most pro-lifers are violently misogynistic, thus their obsession with controlling the sexual and reproduction choices of women. And most domestic terrorism in this country is committed by pro-life fanatics.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

They have killed people. Real, living people.

Uh, proof? >99% of notable pro-life rhetoric centers around life beginning at conception, not being a control freak.

Have you ever even met a pro-lifer?

[DrScholl]

I think she is right, you have to expect more rational thinking from candidates for office in a first world country. When you have candidates saying no exceptions for abortion, not even for rape, that is a serious problem.

She never even mentioned the word "pro-lifer" or even really compared anyone to terrorists, so the subject line is should be edited for clarity.

[RINO Tom]

One of the few times Hillary is actually talking sense.

Yep.  Anyone who is pro-life is a terrorist.

I wonder what some of you guys are like at parties or social events.

EDIT: I am only addressing SWE's comment, thinking he was running with the hyperbole of the OP.

[whanztastic]

There literally are anti-abortion terrorists.

[Republican Michigander]

I take Hillary's cue as a reminder to buy more ammo today.

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

There literally are anti-abortion terrorists.

Yeah, like 12 people in the last two decades.

[Higgs]

I can't believe anyone on this forum is actually defending what she said. They're probably the same people who gave sh*t to Walker for comparing unions to terrorists.

Yes, politicians say stupid things. Is anyone surprised? Is this something new?

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Groups like Operation Rescue, Army of God, and those that radically protest clinics totally fit that definition.

Examples of Anti-Choice Terrorism

[DrScholl]

Appropriate comparison, especially groups like Operation Rescue and Army of God.

Examples of Anti-Choice Terrorism

If it isn't done by Muslims, it isn't terrorism, remember that.

[Lief 🗽]

A pro-lifer in this very thread is threatening to buy more ammunition!! They can't help themsevles, the violent sociopaths. The fact that a woman is running for president at all is probably infuriating to a lot of these troglodytes.

Examples of Anti-Choice Terrorism

If it isn't done by Muslims, it isn't terrorism, remember that.

And if it is done by Muslims then it's simply because they don't have jobs and has nothing to do with their beliefs at all...

That's obviously not what Hillary said. If you actually read the quote in context, she's pointing out that denying women access to health care and contraception is something that wouldn't be out of place espoused by terrorists and should not be tolerated in civilized discourse, not that being pro-life=terrorist.

They're probably the same people who gave sh*t to Walker for comparing unions to terrorists.

It turns out that different things are different! Who knew?

These days, a terrorist is one who disagrees with the powers that be.

I'm not advocating violence, troll. When I'm compared to a terrorist, I'm going to defend himself accordingly in case I'm treated as one by a wannabe tyrant. As far as women running, I've voted for women for years for office. I have no problem with a woman president. I just have a problem with killing babies, being called a terrorist, and tyrants.

I'll make sure to buy a new gun if Hillary wins. If Trump wins, I'll make it two guns since I know he won't have restraint on executive powers.
