I am supporting Hillary Clinton. Here's what I am not.

61. After all your claimed regret and apology you continue to be very kind to yourself regarding FR.

Because you told us all about it here on DU, many of us know exactly what it delved into and how vile that was. You claimed to have repented, but this sort of self serving language indicates a very low level of honesty about what you said on FR, and who you said it about.

I want you to know that in essence that sort of thing is why I am not supporting Hillary in the primary, nor the political culture around her. She also seeks to frame past errors in a rosy light, even at cost of actual good will with other communities. Instead of direct, honest and on the table it is parsed, framed, and presented as if the victim was the one doing the self serving spin.

All I see in this OP is you heaping icing on your own cake when you could be putting your real cards on the table. We have already seen those cards, MM. They could all be forgotten if you did not keep doing this rewrite in favor of yourself routine. It is the same, exact thing Hillary recently did with DOMA, she dragged it up and tried to spin it in Bill's favor, when there was no need to bring it up at all. She wanted to heap the icing on that cake. So it does seem to be a cultural thing in center right of the Party. I'm not into that level of bull puckey.
