Hillary Clinton: Where does she stand on the issues that are important

[BainsBane]

117. I support human rights

and equality before the law. I don't support the view that if someone publishes something people like they should be immune from responsibility for any infractions, much less sexual assault, their entire life. You think Assange as an individual is more important than equality before the law or justice for rape victims. I find that reprehensible. That position that elevates the privileged few above the rest of us is evident in your responses in this exchange. You clearly see people like Assange and yourself as superior to the little people like myself, Justin, and Assange's alleged victims. I do not share the view that some human beings are superior and deserve to be immune from justice or criticism. I believe strongly in human equality, and I can envision no notion of left that exalts the few above the many.

I opposed the Iraq War and protested against it. I have never said anything to suggest otherwise. Whatever twisted bullshit you make up to claim otherwise is your problem.

Pointing out your repeated positive posts about both Assange and Putin is not right wing. You are the one who has sought to justify Putin's war on the Ukraine. That is a war you support and defend, while accusing me of being pro-war, when I have never been. You won't find me speaking out in defense of war, whether at the hands of America or Russia.

I am not even necessarily a Clinton supporter. What I am is fed up with the Clinton bashing. I never considered Clinton in 2008. The thing that made me consider her were the relentless attacks by people like you. You have pestered me about her for years. You definitely influenced my views on her. The vapid and illogical nature of the attacks against Clinton on this site have prompted me to have a look at her. If you are a Democrat, you voted for Kerry in 2004. He also voted for the war. Yet now you insist anyone who doesn't despise Clinton must be a "forever war" supporter. It's hypocritical bullshit.

I haven't personally attacked you. I have observed positions you have taken. I can only presume you have realized your support for Putin was mistaken, but rather than taking responsibility for your own exceedingly poor judgement in swallowing whole his propaganda you now turn to accusing people who remember your posts of less than one month ago as engaging in right-wing tactics.

Your post above reminds me why I quit reading your posts. You don't have any interest in what I believe, and you just plain make shit up. This victimization complex of yours is getting old. You don't seem to be able to deal with disagreement on issues without taking it personally. You would therefore be advised to refrain from responding to me again, because I won't ever pay you the kind of homage you expect. I state my views plainly, and if I see hypocrisy or bullshit, I will comment on it. I was raised on the knee of my Irish grandmother to reject royalty, and that lesson stuck.
