Former secretary of state Madeleine Albright introduced Hillary Clinton at an event in New Hampshire on Saturday, telling the crowd and voters in general: “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other!”

In polling, Clinton trails the Vermont senator Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire by an average of around 17 points. She leads him nationally by 15 to 20 points. In this week’s Iowa caucus, which Clinton won narrowly, the former secretary of state led Sanders among women by 53% to 42% but lost out among younger voters.

1. Good.

It's crap like this that will be their undoing.

[Baitball Blogger]

21. They sound like good ole gals.

[elleng]

2. WAY out of line.

[Duckhunter935]

3. I saw that

Just plain sickening and Hillary should condemn her over that.

[pangaia]

4. Willy, you're a little late to the party.

That ain't like you. You are usually way out ahead of most of us, me for sure.

[WillyT]

18. LOL !!! - Well...

Every now and again I have to buy groceries, and feel the sun on my face.

[pangaia]

20. Good for you, dude.

[Xipe Totec]

5. It's the place in hell where they serve piña coladas and give foot massages. nt

[Punkingal]

9. And Mark Twain is there to amuse us all.

[bunnies]

16. And Bernie is President.

And cannabis is legal
And we all have healthcare
And we make a living wage
And we take care of each other

Sounds horrid.

[cyberswede]

26. And Hitler finds his head draped with Kurt Vonnegut's father's underpants.

[thucythucy]

27. I was hoping for tequila myself. Nt.

[Punkingal]

6. I've been steaming over this all day. Idiotic thing to say.

[PeoViejo]

7. Madeline Albright, Dame of Malta and champion of the Reich Fifth Column

Hillary is her Sorority Sister.

[bigwillq]

8. Madeline has been and always will be awful (nt)

[libdem4life]

10. Lost credibility..jumped the shark..lost the plot...whatever. Poor woman groveling for relevancy.

[bunnies]

11. Another DUer posted the whole quote in context...

“Young women have to support Hillary Clinton. The story is not over!” she said. “They’re going to want to push us back. Appointments to the supreme court make all the difference.

“It’s not done and you have to help. Hillary Clinton will always be there for you. And just remember, there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other.”

Personally, I trust young women to make up their own minds. No one gets to tell them what they have to do. Further, what kind of moron comes to the least religious state in the country and makes threats of hell?!

[earthshine]

12. No one is talking about a revolution led by Hillary.

Go Bernie!

[RoccoR5955]

13. There's a special place in hell for her

after she was a leading proponent for the NATO bombings that struck hospitals and schools in Syria back in 1999.
She is in the same class as Kissinger.

22. I'm pretty sure she was just doing as instructed.

eom

[polly7]

23. Wow.

What a piece of work. I never knew of her financial interests in Serbia.

[Jenny_92808]

29. So she thinks that she can speak for g-d

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nationalize the fed]

38. That was the first PNAC war (Edit- thought you wrote Serbia)

Edit- Albright WAS a leading voice calling for the bombing of Serbia, which WAS the first PNAC war

[polly7]

41. I still remember the first bombing ... I screamed and

then bawled, I couldn't believe they were actually doing it. They were lying and I didn't understand then why. So many years later now still hearing how it was the right thing to do. Sickened by our part in it, just as with Libya. The same playbook, exactly.

[farleftlib]

44. Not to mention the Iraq sanctions responsible for many thousands of children dying

were all "worth it." She has her own special corner of hell to look forward to IMHO.

[HereSince1628]

14. I think I heard Larry ODonnell say it's an Albright quote once on Starbucks cups

I've never been to Starbucks so I plead ignorance beyond that.

[jillan]

15. Why isn't Albright endorsing Carly? She's a woman.

[cui bono]

17. Fuck her. And Hillary ain't leading no revolution, idiot.

And by idiot I mean Albright, not the OP. Turns out she's more Aldim than Albright.

.

[CharlotteVale]

19. Hillary's mouthpieces Albright and Steinem alienated many women today.

[Jenny_92808]

24. Effffff......

Her. I have been a female and a woman all my life and I am not owned by any man. I make my own decisions. She seems to be saying that if someone like Thatcher (evil to the core) should be voted for because she was a woman, regardless of positions. I don't think Hillary is horribly evil like Thatcher, but Albright's statement is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo WRONG!!! We as women, have viewpoints and we can vote our beliefs and Albright's thoughts that she has the line on g-d's views is INSULTING to all women!

[nc4bo]

25. !!!!

[IMG][/IMG]

[Jenny_92808]

28. Yes!

I see strength in her eyes! My family is Scandinavian and are US citizens, and my ancestry should not matter. People don't care because I am from a WHITE race. It should be that way for ALL races.

[nc4bo]

37. Oh dear...you must not have seen the movie The Help!

This is the scene where Millie gave Miss Hilly her own "special" chocolate pie.

Millie said to her, "Eat my shit!"

Perfect for Albright's comment.

[Doctor_J]

30. The Clinton campaign continues to win hearts and minds

[Beacool]

31. Don't take it personally.

Madeline has been saying that for eons.

[polly7]

39. So you're saying there's no thought process? Words just gush forth at odd moments? nt.

[Lazy Daisy]

46. Sooooo how special is Hillary's place in hell?

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/hillary-clinton-boosts-cuomo-ticket-moreland-counsel-trashes-article-1.1930038

Clinton became one of the biggest Democratic guns yet to rally behind Cuomo’s ticket this week, part of a strategy to overwhelm Teachout and her running mate Tim Wu with party firepower. Meanwhile Janos Marton wrote a scathing column for DailyKos.com Friday denouncing Cuomo.

[Oilwellian]

32. Oh, Madeline

“There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other!”

Iraqi mothers could say the same thing to you, Madeline.

[Jenny_92808]

33. NOT ME

I am voting for Bernie!

[delrem]

36. Somehow or other Albright's name gets conflated with that of Steinem, in some DU posts.

As if they are both equally feminist icons.

I don't get that.
I fully understand the rapport that Albright, Kissinger - and no doubt Rice - have with Hillary Clinton. It has nothing to do with their sex, it has to do with how they represent the same face of US militarism. The imperial state. These people will say any kind of shit. We know that.

But I'm shocked at Steinem's recent comments. Shocked at their shallowness. Shocked at her apparent blindness. It's a part of her that I hadn't known existed. I don't understand it.

[Jim Lane]

42. I agree with you about Steinem and Albright.

Maybe they could have a debate: If a young woman volunteers for the Sanders campaign because that's where the boys are, does she still go to hell, or does she get a pass?

[delrem]

47. I dunno. But I'll bet she gets laid.

I don't recall ever being so light about my politics, that I'd feign interest in "democratic socialism" or any kind of "ism" just to get laid.

Sounds like a bar-room pickup...

In my non-political hormone-rampant most sex crazed years I was attracted by pheromones and by feeling comfortable and having fun in general, and I'd not give up those years for anything. As I aged into my 20's I was naturally attracted to feminist women. They seemed to have the brains - but I didn't know that they were feminists other than through noting the reading material that they scattered about. It included feminist books and magazines, along with all the rest of their interests.

To be sure, they knew that I was the most uninformed dolt, but they were and are kind.

I wouldn't say that I was interested in feminist thought because I wanted to get laid, but that the kind of women that I enjoy knowing have always been feminists and they introduced me to that thought. It's my fucking culture!

I really don't know what Gloria Steinem is talking about in this primary campaign. Even with mea culpas it seems very off the rails.
Slut shaming young women who're interested in the democratic socialist politics that Bernie Sanders espouses.
With or without her mea culpas, her words don't fit my life experience.

[EndElectoral]

34. It's just payback for Bill hiring her...

[polly7]

40. Seems to be one big happy family. nt.

[Fearless]

35. Ohh electing a woman because she's a woman... that's not condescending or anything.

Had Jackie Robinson sucked at baseball, he would have done a disservice to integration. If it was Elizabeth Warren... she would be Jackie Robinson.

[riversedge]

43. “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other!” The OP and

Guardian misquote Albright's quote.


NOTE***the title of the Guardian contradicts the actual story!!

Former secretary of state Madeleine Albright introduced Hillary Clinton at an event in New Hampshire on Saturday, telling the crowd and voters in general: “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other!”..............



Also--the context of the quote was abortion rights and the upcoming SC nominees:




....Albright was the first woman to be secretary of state and served during the presidency of Clinton’s husband, Bill. She closed her New Hampshire speech with an allusion to the ongoing struggle with Republicans over abortion rights.

“Young women have to support Hillary Clinton. The story is not over!” she said. “They’re going to want to push us back. Appointments to the supreme court make all the difference.

“It’s not done and you have to help. Hillary Clinton will always be there for you. And just remember, there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other.”.................
