Cons used this single quote to bash Hillary:

'You know, I'm going to start thanking the woman who cleans the restroom in the building that I work in. You know, maybe that sounds kind of stupid, but on the other hand I want to start seeing her as a human being.'"

HERE IS THE QUOTE IN CONTEXT:

1993 New York Times magazine piece (interview by Michael Kelly)

"If you break down the Golden Rule or you take Christ's Commandment - Love thy neighbor as thyself - there is an underlying assumption that you will value yourself, that you will be a responsible human being who will live by certain behaviors that enable you to have self-respect, because, then, out of that self-respect comes the capacity for you to respect and care for other people.

And how do we just break this whole enterprise down in small enough pieces? Well, somebody says to themselves: 'You know, I'm not going to tell that racist, sexist joke. I don't want to objectify another human being. Why do I want to do that? What do I get out of that kind of action? Maybe I should try to restrain myself.'

Or maybe somebody else says: 'You know, I'm going to start thanking the woman who cleans the restroom in the building that I work in. You know, maybe that sounds kind of stupid, but on the other hand I want to start seeing her as a human being.'"

sfaa,

Are you seriously that stupid???

Read the entire article. She said this pretending to be somebody else.

That's like me saying, "well maybe I won't be such a racist conservative anymore. Maybe I'm going to start treating minorities with respect and not ignore their debates".

Well, the whole thing is out of context...since Libs actually hate themselves, as well as capitalism, and they think that socialism will redeem them.

I didn't know that the conservatives used this quote to bash Hillary, but if they did, the reasoning would go like this:

If Hillary really cared about the woman who cleans the bathroom, she would have started thanking her long before now. Why does it take a pending election to bring out the best in people?

So....you're trying to use an incredibly stupid thing that Hillary Clinton said to attack conservatives? How exactly?

If you read Hillary's quote, she's saying that up until now, she hasn't viewed the woman who's cleaning the bathroom as a human being. What the hell is that?

This is the quote you're trying to defend? This is quote you're using to criticize conservatives? What, people who clean restrooms don't deserve to be viewed or treated as humans? You liberals loons never fail to amaze me.

What does it say about liberals when they report answers they don't like? Pretty much that you bash everyone who disagrees with you, but then, we would expect no more than a liberal who's practicing it's idea of free speech: say what you want so long as you agree with me--or I'll report you.

And the question is? After all I recall a DEmocrat saying that no Republican has ever held a job. That we were lazy and dishonest. What does that say about Democrats, specially since the man who said it ,Howard Dean had not held a non government job since he left Med school.
