I never understand this. Find the video on your own, but please do not post Right-Wing garbage here.

And yes I saw other posts on this Facebook page - needless to say, they would all be deleted if they were posted her.

We plunged the region into chaos, misery and despair - but since she thinks no Americans were killed, it's all good.

expect to find on stormfront, and in my opinion, completely inappropriate to post on DU.

As a Sanders supporter, I'm asking you to please delete and find a different source to make your argument.

hitch your wagon to, then go for it. I for one refuse to accept any source that publishes and condones hate speech.

That FB page is fucking putrid.

Yahoo

You can't put the cat back in the bag. She made a statement that I see, after reviewing ALL of the links, was taken out of context. This was very easily done and in today's political climate it is too be expected. After watching her behaviour towards Bernie Sanders and her "out of context/misrepresented statements toward him I would think that she would be more careful.

Things can and do come back to bite you.

...is in reference to the regime replacement, not the terrorist attack later on.

Edit: She's saying 'we' didn't lose anybody while overthrowing Gadhafi.

I don't care how many millions of dollars they spend on this Benghazi investigation. That and Congress should vote to repeal Obamacare. What are they doing?

It is beyond wingnut.

Don't like HRC? Fine. Want to post some video of her? Fine. Find something on CNN. Even Fox News seems like the Daily Worker compared to that FB site.

Why, after several pleas in this thread, haven't you edited this OP to add a CNN link and delete that Stormfrontesque FB page?

*posters -- read the extreme RW garbage at that link before you attack me.

ahead of myself. See and hearing her say what she said made me just believe and find no harm in sharing. I see that many people were upset by the source so I went back and found 3 acceptable links and posted them.
