(62,325 posts)My number one rule is to never take seriously, or even try to respond seriously, to people who launch personal attacks as soon as they jump into a thread.
Hurling insults and turning the topic around to be about the PERSON rather than the ISSUE, tells me not to even bother engaging, just throw out whatever comes to mind. That's all those who engage in personal attacks deserve.
I treat people the way they treat me. I'm not bothered by people who spend their time attacking people, got used to that a long, long time ago. But I don't engage in serious discussions with them.
Now on to your claim that Hillary never played the victim.
There are two choices here. Either she really FEELS like a victim or she was doing something worse, USING the fact that she is a woman to try to falsely claim that Bernie was shouting at her.
I am not a mind reader, I can only go by what she said.
Seems I'm not alone in my opinion of her playing the victim.
Apparently, what I feared most, she has provided perfect fodder to the right wing to go after Liberal Women, and that is exactly what they are doing using what she said.
I would like to distance MYSELF as a woman from what she said. I totally disagree with her that men shoutiing is because she is a woman. That is playing the victim.
She owns her words, I am not obligated to try to interpret them .When someone does something that damages me or my women friends and family I will respond to that.
IF it was a game, that is probably even worse. Either way it shows a woman who is weak, who either does feel like a victim, or who cannot face an opponent honestly and resorts to deceptive and false claims, which is also the sign of person who is weak and petty.
Take your pick. It is your candidate you should be angry with, she is making the job of defending here very difficult for you.
