Why does Hillary hate young people so much?

[CTLawGuy]

First, she calls young people lazy...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BROOKVILLE, N.Y., May 14 — Backing away from her assertion that the current generation is lazy, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton said on Sunday that she simply wanted to "set the bar high" when she told an audience last week that young people today "think work is a four-letter word."

Mrs. Clinton said her daughter, Chelsea, called to complain after learning about her remarks at a gathering of the United States Chamber of Commerce in Washington on Thursday. In that speech, Mrs. Clinton criticized young people for having a sense of entitlement after growing up in a "culture that has a premium on instant gratification."

Second, at the same time she calls young people "lazy" she advocates outsourcing and trade policies that ship the jobs that would be available for young people out of the USA....

Hillary Clinton woos India
By Siddharth Srivastava

NEW DELHI - For all those who think that Hillary Clinton isn't gearing up for the US presidential elections circa 2008, they would do well to take a peep at her recent visit to India. She wasn't here as the wife of ex-president Bill Clinton, well known for enjoying India having visited the country several times as president, meanwhile charming a whole lot of Indians.

Hillary clears outsourcing air
Hillary Clinton made it apparent where she stood on outsourcing during her India visit, in an attempt perhaps to clear the Indian misgivings received during the Kerry campaign. "There is no way to legislate against reality. Outsourcing will continue," she told an audience of Indian big-wigs. She pointed out that there were 3 billion people who feel left behind and are trying to attack the modern world in the hope of turning the clock back on globalization. "It is not far-fetched to imagine ... if the Indian miracle would be the one of choice of those who feel left behind," said Hillary.

Hillary has been at the forefront in defending free trade and outsourcing. During the height of the anti-outsourcing backlash in the US last year, she faced considerable flak for defending Indian software giant Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) for opening a center in Buffalo, New York. "We are not against all outsourcing; we are not in favor of putting up fences," Hillary said firmly, despite inevitably invoking the ire of the anti-free trade brigade.

Third, she complains about legally eligible students who came from out of state being able to vote in the caucus.


CANDIDATES CLASH ON IOWA STUDENT VOTE...On Saturday a spokesperson for Hillary Clinton slammed Barack Obama's campaign for encouraging out-of-state students from Iowa to come back from winter break early to participate in the caucuses.

"There's a real difference here," said the spokeswoman Mo Elleithee, "We are not systematically trying to manipulate the Iowa caucuses with out of state people. We don't have literature recruiting out of state college students. We didn't bus in folks from out of state." Chris Dodd was quick to jump in with his own reprimand. A spokesperson said he was "deeply disappointed…at the Obama campaign's attempt to recruit thousands of out-of-state residents to come to Iowa for the caucuses."

What is her problem????

[gateley]

1. Kind of OT to comment that I think it's great that Chelsea called her on it, and

it's good of Clinton to acknowledge it. I bet HER (Chelsea's) bar was set VERY high. She seems to have turned out wonderfully. As have all of the candidates' kids, come to think of it. That's really amazing.

[Bitwit1234]

36. I have to add this so people can see it.

What I wonder is, the reason all these Hillary haters post about her is they don't know anything else.

[Bucky]

2. On a related matter, why does Chelsea Clinton worship Satan? Huh? Why's that?

[bunnies]

15. oh. my. gawd.

DU is the greatest forum ever. I Cant believe someone took the time to notice that. :rofl: :yourock:

[L0oniX]

46. daughter like mother

[BeyondGeography]

3. Maybe the wrong female Clinton is running

Of course, the way things work in this country, she'll get her chance.

[madrchsod]

26. i always thought she would make a better president

than either one of them. chances are i won`t be around to find out

[BeyondGeography]

28. You might have to survive a Jeb Bush presidency first

if it's survivable.

[madrchsod]

32. nah i`m to old to wait out jeb.

hell, no one my age and status in life would survive...

[BeyondGeography]

34. Well, hopefully you make it to the end of the Reagan Revolution (1980-present)

that's what I'm shooting for.

[madrchsod]

48. i live in ground zero of the cult of reagan

death is my only escape!

[ilovesunshine]

4. She hates puppies too... Watch for new puppy poll to come out tomorrow.

Only Iowa puppies were polled.

[CTLawGuy]

5. got some articles to back that up?

NT

[HooptieWagon]

9. Woosh

that was sarcasm going right over some people's heads...

[CTLawGuy]

11. I know

but I have documentary evidence to back up my claim...

[oasis]

18. Your claim is that "Hillary HATES young people". We await that particular documention.

:donut:

[CTLawGuy]

23. its in the OP

how would you interpret that?

[oasis]

37. Hillary probably hates mischaracterizations along with lazily done research

but she's never state it in public.

[ilovesunshine]

13. Sorry, I'm new and have yet to figure out the emotes...

I should have put the sarcasm thingy in my original post.

[CTLawGuy]

16. its ok

a belated welcome

:hi:

[ilovesunshine]

19. Thank you! nt

[cuke]

6. And Obama supporters claim my thread was petty

[CTLawGuy]

8. what's "petty"

is criticizing someone for trying to encourage political participation by people who are legally eligible. That's a Republican, Operation-Eagle-Eye tactic, and not fit for a Democrat.

[cuke]

12. Why does Obama hate women?

He missed all those abortion votes. Odd to argue for political participation when Obama is ducking so many votes

[CTLawGuy]

14. did he call them "lazy"?

replace "young people" with "women" and see what reaction you get.

[cuke]

21. Another Obama supporter who can't defend Obama's anysmal record

[CTLawGuy]

24. way to change the subject

NT

[cuke]

29. The topic is your spin

My post was on topic

[LittleClarkie]

7. Why does she hate America? Why is she a hater?

That's stretching it a bit, I must say, and I don't even like her.

[CTLawGuy]

10. stretching?

I have documentary evidence that:

(1) Hillary Clinton referred to an entire generation of young Americans as "lazy" and people who "think work is a four-letter word."

(2) Clinton approves of outsourcing the jobs that young people, who she thinks are lazy, might have filled were they available.

(3) Clinton is annoyed at the fact that students, who under IA law can register to vote, are doing so and are participating in the process.

What does that sound like to you? detached admiration????

[LittleClarkie]

17. Criticism is not hate

Rather like when we criticize the president and are asked why we hate America. That's how your OP is striking me.

[CTLawGuy]

22. how would you react to this...

BROOKVILLE, N.Y., May 14 — Backing away from her assertion that African Americans are lazy, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton said on Sunday that she simply wanted to "set the bar high" when she told an audience last week that black people today "think work is a four-letter word."

Mrs. Clinton said the Reverend Al Sharpton, called to complain after learning about her remarks at a gathering of the United States Chamber of Commerce in Washington on Thursday. In that speech, Mrs. Clinton criticized black people for having a sense of entitlement after growing up in a "culture that has a premium on instant gratification."

[rinsd]

25. Now you've devolved into made up hypotheticals.

:rofl:

[CTLawGuy]

27. how would you react to what I posted above

would you argue that did not constitute hate?

[rinsd]

33. LOL. Hate?

You think referring to this generation as lazy then retracting constitutes hate?

You think recognizing globalization as a reality is hate?

You think an off the cuff remark by a spokesperson looking to pile on a local and influential columnists latest screed is hate?

As far as your bizarro examples, if you think nasty stereotypes of a long oppressed minority group are equivalent to what she actually said, then you have a perspective problem.

Let's test and see.

Did the Obama campaign's ugly play on xenophobia with their Hillary D-Punjab memo constitute hate? Even though he disavowed it as hurtful?

[CTLawGuy]

40. Yes

calling an entire broad group of people "lazy" is hate. If it were black people it would be hate, for SURE. If it were Mexicans, it would be hate, for SURE. Why is it not hate here?

She did more than recognize globalization, she supported harmful free trade and outsourcing that take away jobs.

finally...

Punjab refers to the region of a foreign country and does not denigrate a broad social group of people. It suggests that someone cares too much about the interests of someone other than her constituents, like we might say with Bush and Saudi Arabia.

[rinsd]

51. LOL. Sometimes it so easy to show how full of shit people are.

"Why is it not hate here?"

Because ageism is not equivalent to racism. If you need that explained I cannot help you.

"Punjab refers to the region of a foreign country and does not denigrate a broad social group of people. It suggests that someone cares too much about the interests of someone other than her constituents, like we might say with Bush and Saudi Arabia."

Here's Obama's characterization of his own campaign's memo.

"It was a dumb mistake on our campaign's part and I made it clear to my staff in no uncertain terms that it was a mistake," Obama told the AP in a brief interview in which he referred to the memo as "unnecessarily caustic."

[CTLawGuy]

53. it is wrong for the same reason that racism is wrong

it is an overgeneralization that attributes bad characteristics to people becuase of some immutable characteristic.

and the only people full of shit are Hillary and Dodd. Shame on them

[dionysus]

57. pulling up a different quote is a transparent distraction technique.

you just can't or won't answer the question asked of you.

[Steely_Dan]

20. Just Stop It, Okay???

The title of your post makes me want to not even read what you posted. I'm not a supporter of Hillary Clinton, but I find this sort of bashing gratuitous at best and mean-spirited at worst.

-P

[madrchsod]

30. her problem is she hates my dog

if she did`t hate my dog she`d have iowa in her purse. hell i live in illinois but obama did`t ask me to go on the bus so i think he hates my dog also....oh sorry, i thought this was the lounge

[Hardrada]

38. My dear madrchsod

What makes you think this is the lounge?

Insert large picture of playful kittens HERE!

& name the five movies you thought sucked the most.

[madrchsod]

47. you just reminded me that i have`t been out that way in years

i`m thinking a nice two day road trip this spring through out that area of iowa..

[1monster]

31. My fifteen year old has been bugging me and badgering me to let him get a job

for the last year and a half.

I've told him he has to wait until he is sixteen. Ticks him off royally.

But I figure he will work for fifty or more years after getting his first job. I want to let him be a kid for just a few months more...

[MasonJar]

35. I teach at a local high school and I can say without fear of censure that

the students that I teach today purposely throw their paper and other garbage on the floor so someone else can clean it up. They show little, if any, respect for teachers, principals or custodians. I know all about the terrible description of students which turned out to be a statement by Aristotle, but I quit teaching for 17 years; I clearly remember what teen-agers were like when I taught before. In comparison today's teens are disrespectful in a different manner; they have no compunction about rudeness, seemingly thinking that it is their due. More of us need to speak up. Thank you, Hillary, for telling it like it is. Without change in this future generation, we are truly doomed.

[CTLawGuy]

39. yes hillary

thanks for the broad overgeneralization...

Not all teens throw papers on the floor, or are disrespectful.

[LittleClarkie]

45. He just thought he'd follow your example

saying that she hates the young is a broad overgeneralization.

[CTLawGuy]

54. I think X is lazy

and I think X should not vote in this state.


No of course I don't hate X.... :eyes:

[Clintonista2]

41. Why does Obama hate old people?

:shrug:

[CTLawGuy]

what did he say?

NT

[Clintonista2]

50. It all started with this comment:

=="Everybody knows a lot of 50, 60 and 70-year-olds that don't have good judgment, because they keep on making the same mistakes over and over again,"

Imagine if he had switched "50, 60 and 70-year-olds" to "Asians" or "Women." In this phrase, he makes a stereotypical comment against the elderly, and the MSM ignores it, of course.

http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=1356352007


Then, he moves on to trying to start a generational war with his "Baby boomers need to get over themselves" comments. So I ask again, why does Obama hate old people? :shrug:

[Bluebear]

58. Chirp, chirp, say the crickets

[L0oniX]

42. I hate her ...not dislike ...hate. ....freakin witch

[Nedsdag]

43. The problem is her only child isn't a child anymore.

So she doesn't care about those ages 18-21 anymore. She still believes that age group is apathetic despite what her daughter said.

If she continues to treat that age group like dirt and if she wins the nomination, those same college students she needs to win in November will sit on their hands.

[Sparkly]

44. May 14, 2006?!

:eyes:

[Debi]

49. Yes, her hatred goes waaaay back! n/t

[Clintonista2]

52. Why does Obama hate gay people so much?

:shrug:

[CTLawGuy]

55. what did he call gay people?

I don't remember any such sweeping remarks about gays. And don't bring up Donnie McClurkin either... that is apples to oranges.

[BenDavid]

56. I got a nexis-lexis and if you wanna go back in history of obama

comments we can play that game, but lets stick to present and future tenses here. You support Obama, good. I support HRC, good.

[Perry Logan]

59. This just in: "Clinton Takes Lead among Youth"

Barack Obama may draw crowds on college campuses, and he may be the most popular guy on Facebook, but recent poll results challenge the common assumption that he is the candidate of the young. Rather, Hillary Rodham Clinton seems to have taken the lead among 20-somethings.

A Nov. 1 survey of 400 18-to-29-year-olds showed the New York senator held a surprisingly large lead among young voters who identified themselves as Democrats. Clinton led her nearest competitors, with 54 percent, followed by her Illinois counterpart, with 24 percent, and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, with 8.4 percent.

While polls have never shown Obama with a consistent lead among young Democrats, he has generally fared better among them than among Democrats as a whole. But now pundits may need to reexamine the assumption that Obama has the youth vote wrapped up.

“For quite some time, the polling has shown the 18-to-29-year-old primary vote was about even between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and just recently Clinton was pulling ahead,” said Kat Barr, director of research for Rock the Vote, one of the poll’s sponsors. “Young people are trending in ways similar to the overall electorate.”

[hayu_lol]

60. I suggest that Darboy do an in depth examination of Hillary's...

first 20 years out of Yale Law. She specialized in the legal and other needs of children. Tons of pro-bono work and started many Childrens Groups to help all kids.

This is not a woman who 'hates' kids.

In her description of the current generation out of the box, she, in general, is describing what we all see every day. Not all kids, but a sizable group does not care about much of anything.

Yes, she also tells the truth about offshoring with both jobs and companies. It will continue--UNTIL IT IS STOPPED. Perhaps that was her meaning.

I remember some folks being super-critical of Wes Clark. Much of the reason for their dislike was based on the fact that they cannot understand complete thoughts, sentences, and so on. So it seems to be in this case.
