Dick Cheney heaps praise on Clinton.

[RoccoR5955]

Former US vice president Dick Cheney has praised Hillary Clinton as one of the more competent members of President Barack Obama's administration, saying it would be "interesting to speculate" on how she would perform as president.
from: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/us-politics/8741148/Dick-Cheney-heaps-praise-on-Hillary-Clinton.html

If this is not a reason NOT to make her the Democratic Candidate for president, I don't know what is. If this war criminal is praising her, there HAS to be an awful lot wrong with her, and her policies.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Dick Cheney and Henry Kissinger...

[Cleita]

13. Yep. She gets scarier because of the company she keeps. eom

[daleanime]

53. Hard to pick to more shining examples....

of what I don't want from my candidates.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

95. Couldn't think of two bigger assholes singing Hillary's praises... no doubt she holds them in the same high esteem as Nancy Reagan.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[EndElectoral]

2. This is like getting an endorsement from Satan.

[NWCorona]

4. Lol

[SCantiGOP]

35. Would you trust Satan?

Why do you accept Cheney as gospel?

[NWCorona]

42. Trust is a weird thing when you already know what the outcome would be

I didn't know I said that.

[CoffeeCat]

30. Damien, the spawn of Satan all ready endorsed her, so why not Satan?

Robert Kagan, the founder of the neocon movement, endorsed Hillary a couple of weeks ago.

Kagan endorsed Hillary over any of the Republicans.

Makes you want to hurl a lung, doesn't it?

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/2/25/1491609/-Robert-Kagan-Republican-Neocon-PNAC-co-founder-endorses-Clinton
The connection between Hillary and the extreme right Republican Neocons became much clearer today when Robert Kagan, a co-founder and co-author of “The Project for the New American Century, endorsed Hillary Clinton for President.

I would be tempted to call his endorsement a dirty trick designed to drive Democrats away from HRC, but the closeness between them has gone on for many years. Therefore, I think this is just a neocon effort to co-opt the Democratic party. I’m sure they believe it would be better for their desires if they own both parties, not just the Republicans.

This Sunday 2014 NYT article shows the reasoning.

The Next Act of the Neocons -- Are Neocons Getting Ready to Ally With Hillary Clinton?

I believe this should set off extreme alarms for anyone who believes it is important to have more than one party, more than one ideology, in charge of our government. This alarm is, to me, a warning that we may be setting a one party-ideology in concrete to rule us even more stringently than a monarchy. I find it terrifying.

We need to remember that Robert Kagan’s wife is Victoria Nuland. Nuland had been a foreign policy adviser to VP Dick Cheney. When Obama was elected and named Clinton as Secretary of State, HRC brought Victoria Nuland into the State Department. Originally serving as an information official conducting press sessions for State, Nuland soon transitioned to Assistant Secretary of State for Eurasian Affairs. From this post, Nuland planned, orchestrated, and directed the disastrous coup in Ukraine.

More like both of them.

96. huh?! I'd take Satan for President over Cheney any day! (You know the saying: better the devil you know...)

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[Fantastic Anarchist]

98. Come on with the hyperbole ...

... Satan isn't that bad.

[CrispyQ]

100. You're more right than you know!

[Lodestar]

119. And I think he knows it too. Like putting poison in her glass. n/t

[DiehardLiberal]

3. WOW - Helllloooooo! Now can we agree that she is one of them???

What more proof do we need? The transcripts?!!!

[Divernan]

24. Channeling Sally Field: HRC - Dick Loves Me! He Really Loves Me!

[revbones]

5. Neocons like other neocons. Nobody is surprised. nt

They both believe in a doctrine of American Exceptionalism. They are both hawks. Some question her integrity, nearly everyone questions his.

[restorefreedom]

6. i loathe that vile pustule more than just about anyone alive

and he is supporting clinton?

hellooooooooo...establishment club protecting their own...is it clear enough now?

[Avalux]

7. Darth Cheney crawls out of his lair to compliment Hillary.

That's not good.

[HassleCat]

8. No way! If he really liked her...

...he'd shoot her in the face.

[sammythecat]

39. Made me laugh n/t

[cui bono]

123. LOL!

.

[redwitch]

9. Slytherins for Clinton! nt

[retrowire]

28. this Harry Potter fan

gives you a high five!!!

[Jackilope]

10. Two out of three war criminals recommend Clinton.

Yep, that is sound product recommendation.

[XemaSab]

104. I'm trying to think of a third who hasn't endorsed her

and I'm failing.

[malthaussen]

11. Darn, if only it were the NRA.

Pretty odious endorsement, anyway. Except, of course, it is not an endorsement.

-- Mal

[NWCorona]

12. Definitely worse than any fake NRA endorsement

[PonyUp]

14. War Hawks of a feather stick together. nt

[CrispyQ]

101. DUzy!

[cyberswede]

15. You know, if I were her, I think I'd prefer a shotgun blast to the face

I wouldn't even want that POS to utter my name.

[kcjohn1]

16. I wouldn't be surprised

If in the general during a debate against Trump, she throws out a line "Cheney complemented me as competent and supports my foreign policy"

[CharlotteVale]

17. Why am I not surprised.

[Metric System]

18. You've dug up a 5 year old article from when Hillary was SOS and promoting President Obama's

policies.

[WDIM]

46. Right around the time Hillary was finishing Libya for them.

She was doing the neo-conservatives bidding Im sure they were really happy with her as SOS.

[passiveporcupine]

51. Is it you who keeps saying that?

Obama's policies?

Why then did he hire her to be his "Advisor"? And why does he differ from her do much on those policies?

I hope he regrets ever putting her in that position. Cause she sure didn't respect his wishes when she was fighting against him on some of those policies...which I've posted here already.

[RoccoR5955]

106. That's okay

So it's okay for Clinton to ask where Bernie was when she proposed national healthcare in 94, TWENTY TWO years ago, and it's not okay for me to bring something up from only FIVE years ago?
I love your double standard!

[Beacool]

19. So???

Cheney praised Hillary in 2011. Big deal!!!

[Divernan]

23. She hadn't even hit her regime-changing stride yet then!He LUVS her now!

[delrem]

45. So now you love yourself some Cheney? Along with Kissinger, Kagan, Nuland,

and the entire neocon gaggle of war criminals.

Do you even know what you're saying? How many people murdered? How many people crippled? How many refugees? How many hospitals bombed? How many schools bombed, how many bridges and power plants destroyed, and how many mercenary terrorists have been employed by war profiteers? How many cluster bomblets waiting for tomorrow? How many hellfire missiles fired today?

You haven't had enough? You want more?

What, then, will be enough for you?

[Beacool]

109. She's not responsible for being praised by Cheney.

She wasn't the one praising him.

[senz]

55. Just. don't. get. it?

[RoccoR5955]

107. So it's okay for Clinton to ask where Bernie was when she proposed national healthcare in 1994

and it's not okay to bring up something from 2011?
I just love your double standard!

[Beacool]

111. One thing is not the same as another.

How is Hillary responsible for what comes out of Cheney's mouth???

She's neither responsible for being praised, or criticized for that matter, by Cheney or anyone else.

[RoccoR5955]

112. She seems not to be responsible for what comes out of her own mouth! n/t

[Fairgo]

20. Nosferatu is still alive?

Not sure I care what his opinion is. Just keep the crypt locked

[ebayfool]

58. Cheney died long ago. But heaven won't take him and hell is afraid he will take over.

Helluva kudo from The Dark One!

[Beacool]

110. Two good hearts werwe wasted on this evil man.

[scscholar]

21. You're jumping so hard to conclusions...

you're going to hurt yourself! Maybe he is doing this to hurt her.

[delrem]

49. Sure. /nt

[JohnnyLib2]

22. You can fool some of the people all the time.....with 2011 comments.

:

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

97. Since when is there an "expiration date" on praise from a fellow war hawk?!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[RoccoR5955]

108. But it's okay for your candidate to bring up stuff from 1994?

I like your double standard.

[JohnnyLib2]

117. ?? I used the quote in reference to the 2011 article.

HRC wasn't involved LOL.

[RoccoR5955]

118. No, but your candidate asked where Bernie was when she was fighting for healthcare.

and he was STANDING BEHIND HER!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511477261

[RufusTFirefly]

25. Wow! Kissinger, Kagan, and now Cheney. The only ones missing ...

... are William Kristol, Rumsfeld, and "Jeb!"

[thereismore]

26. What else do we need? Isn't this clear enough? nt

29. K & R &...

31. September 5, 2011

So how does this evil fuck feel now?

[joanbarnes]

32. Agree, but perhaps even the Dark One is panicking over Trump!

[SusanCalvin]

33. What the ™©¥€¿¿¿¿¿?????

Is her campaign *trying* to sink itself???

[glinda]

34. nail meet coffin

[BeanMusical]

64. We're gonna need a bigger coffin.

[JGug1]

36. Cheney Praises Hillary

Oh, for god's sake.....DUDE.....Do you know how to tell when "Cheaty" is lying? His lips are moving. There is ONLY one reason why Cheaty the Dick would praise Hillary Clinton.......because he knows that if he does that, folks like ya'll will disdain her and lobby for others to not vote for her.
Look, there is NO doubt that Clinton is more hawkish than Bernie but she has also proved to be a highly competent public servant.
I PROMISE to vote for which ever wins the nomination but I think she is a stronger candidate.

[delrem]

50. She's about as hawkish as Cheney.

It's a matter of like attracting like.

[Peace Patriot]

86. Yeah, that's a possibility from that horribly twisted mind, but...

...how do you explain Henry Kissinger (mass murderer) being her close friend and advisor? How do you explain Robert (Project for a New American Century) Kagan endorsing her RECENTLY and advising her? How do you explain the goddamn disasters she helped create in Libya and Syria--and in Honduras! Honduras is classic Kissinger. Libya and Syria are classic Kagan.

So, these three evildoers are ALL playing a game on Clinton? I don't think so. I see the hard evidence of their advice. I don't know what Kissinger and Cheney are up to, but I think I DO know what Kagan is up to--he wants the neocons to ride back into the White House on Hillary Clinton. And I don't for a minute believe that she is a naive victim of this plan. She DOES sell herself to everyone with power and money, but, once again, the evidence is that she has already re-started the PNAC program for the ME.

I can see that this must be very hard to take in, for someone committed to Clinton. But perhaps you can understand why the rest of us are so upset and so angry. My anger goes back all the way to the Vietnam War, which Kissinger expanded into Cambodia and Laos, and the final toll was TWO MILLION PEOPLE killed, and nearly 60,000 U.S. soldiers!

That Clinton would closely associate with such an evil man should disqualify her from being a Democratic candidate for anything, let alone president.

[shanti]

38. The kiss of death

Wow

[WDIM]

40. PNAC

Clinton took down Libya just as PNAC planned.

[PatrynXX]

43. hope she doesn't go hunting with him...

hmmm

[dana_b]

44. ugh. I wonder if he'll use it against her in the next debate??

I was hoping to never see that wicked name here again.

[Ed Suspicious]

[fun n serious]

57. Why when we could use it?

Hey republicans! Have no where to go? Bernie or Hillary who do you chose? Your guys are done! Spread it! Take control of republican vote! Why not? Hillary is more centrist than Bernie.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

62. Today's "centrist" makes Reagan look like a commie.

Liz would be on Hillary's short list to be Sec of State.

59. Kissinger now Cheney who's next?

[Anastasia_N]

61. Why won't he die?

The specter of his craggy finger pointing in any direction is the best indication that you'd best head off in the opposite direction.


This common observation has been proven out many times.

[C Moon]

63. Uh oh.

[dlwickham]

65. enough bullshit in this thread to fertilize an entire farm

[Firebrand Gary]

67. Lolz

That's a great line!

122. thank you

I try LOL

[delrem]

70. blood works better.

66. Kick and R

[senseandsensibility]

68. Hope he continues to speak out for her,

and maybe even does an ad for her.

[MissDeeds]

69. Oh damn

That's not good. I'd rather my candidate not be praised by Satan.

Luckily, she's not my candidate!

[billhicks76]

71. Cheney Endorses Hillary

And Clintonites cover their ears and mutter na-na-na-na-na

[creeksneakers2]

72. He didn't endorse Hillary

He said it would be interesting to speculate on what kind of president she would be. He said she was competent, but only in comparison to others in the Obama administration.

[billhicks76]

73. Lol

Yeah I know he didn't actually endorse her. But just a suggestion or tone of approval is absurdly revolting. I have never in my life seen some democrats defend the abhorrent behavior that Clinton displays. It really makes me question people's hypocrisy and seems more about human nature than right or wrong. From my perspective it's as mind boggling as people blindly following Bush when he clearly was screwing people. It so obvious that Bernie is the only one on either side with pure honesty and humility. The argument from the Clinton crew was that's great but he's unelectable. That has been proven wrong and he fairs better against every republican than she does. So why aren't these defenders joining Bernie now? Maybe it was never about electability.

[southerncrone]

74. Here, have some kryptonite!

[Skwmom]

75. Well, it helps Clinton trying to sell herself as a Republican in the general election and as far as

the Democrats - I think it's going to be the usual - where are you going to go....

[merrily]

76. That's a heap, all right.

[Hoyt]

77. Yet Sanders’ folks are fine with Koch brothers praising him.

[NanceGreggs]

78. Oh, yes, of course.

When an unsolicited remark about a candidate is made by anyone we don't like, that's a GREAT reason not to support that candidate.

It's just like if the Koch Brothers said something positive about Bernie, everyone who supports BS should immediately change their minds about him.

THAT just makes so much sense.



Sometimes I can't believe the shit that gets posted here.

[ucrdem]

79. When he starts a SuperPac to peddle lies about her opponents I'll worry. nt

[Feeling the Bern]

81. Goldwater, Kissinger, Wal-Mart, Wall Street paid tool, heaping praise for Nancy Raygun

and now Dick Cheney's endorsement. You HRC shills really need to explain how you can be Democrats and still support her.

[Voice for Peace]

82. Not sure whether to laugh or cry

[applegrove]

83. He trying to give her a poison pill by complementing her. Looks like

many here fell for it.

[highprincipleswork]

84. Wow, that is a damning bit of praise in my book!

[pdsimdars]

85. Woo-Hoo! Clinton/Cheney 2016 -- the ticket writes itself

so do the disasters.
Bring back Kissinger as Sect. of State and we'll see who wins -- do the climate denying fossil fuelers destroy the planet or do Clinton/Chaney warmongers blow it up first? Who will destroy the planet first? News at 10 . . . .

[dinkytron]

87. Crash cart must want Republicans to face Bernie in the general.

He obviously knows his endorsement is toxic.

[GreatGazoo]

91. Cheney said this 5 years ago. eom

[silvershadow]

88. they are both fans of Henry Kissinger . nt

[Yuugal]

89. Some things never change.

[John Poet]

90. Dick Cheney knows it when he sees it.

[Cobalt Violet]

92. she's as rightwing as Bush so why not.

She's a neocon and he knows it. Some of us here know it. Not surprised at all.

[Chan790]

93. Well, ain't that damning with faint praise.

If I ever had had any notion of voting for the false-sister, Hillary Clinton...the apostate Dick Cheney has set me back on the narrow path of progressive righteousness. Hallelujah!! The Lord works in mysterious ways.

[Enthusiast]

94. Kicked and recommended! eom
