Clinton compares GOP’s views on women to ‘terrorist groups’

sangha said:
Your post is an implicit admission that the GOP's positions on women's issues *are* extreme. As Clinton pointed out, terrorists also have extreme positions on women's issues.

Lots of people have "extreme" positions. But these are relative measurements. Democrats might think that the Republican opinion on abortion is extreme and vise versa, but neither of it is anywhere near the scale of terrorists. The point is that stupid analogies are stupid. If you cannot make a rational argument, you are better off not making an argument.

This statement is an appeal to emotion, nothing .more. It's not a thinking man's statement, it is meant to circumvent rational thought and to get people to respond emotionally instead of logically. It's stupid.

Clinton did not say anything about the relative strengths of their extremism. She merely pointed out that both have extreme views on the subject

An appeal to emotion? During a political campaign??

I am shocked, SHOCKED I say, to learn that there are appeals to emotion in political campaigns

Of course not. Speaking to the scale would inject some honesty into a statement designed to short-circuit thinking. It's a stupid statement.

As I said, standard Republocrat tactic. But it changes nothing I said. Stupid analogies are stupid.

It's not an analogy and it's a standard political tactic

No, this thread is about Clinton's statement about the GOP's views on women and you (and others) keep trying to distract attention from the GOP's extreme positions with talk about something that is irrelevant to this thread

:lol: the purpose of Hillary Clinton making that argument is hardly irrelevant. This is Hillary Clinton. Nothing like this is unplanned or non-deliberate.

Correct. She deliberately planned on pointing out that both the republicans and terrorists have extreme beliefs about women.
 
sangha said:
I see the right wingers trying to divert attention away from the way the republicans, like Islamic terrorists, have extreme beliefs on womens issues

No, you have extreme beliefs and you claim they relate to "women's issues," which is a big fat ****ing lie.

What extreme beliefs does sangha have? The war on women is about women's reproductive health issues. What is the big fat lie?

Well, not precisely - that is the means. The end was to get people to talking about her crazy comment, and off of talking about her emails and the classified information contained therein.

What'd she say?

Well, she has been talking about how they avoid her when it comes to the War on Women. But she did respond back to Hillary.



Carly Fiorina Responds to Hillary's Comparison of Republicans to Terrorists ......

This morning on America's Newsroom GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina shot back at Clinton, calling her remarks typical and reminded voters about the negative impact liberal policies have on women (especially inside the Clinton campaign, where female staffers are lower in the hierarchy and making less money compared to Fiorina's campaign). She also reminded the audience that it's Democrats, not Republicans, who are extremists on the issue of abortion, or what liberals like to call "women's health." Also keep in mind Clinton, like many Democrats, refuses to acknowledge Carly Fiorina exists, not to mention as a presidential candidate on the other side of the aisle.....snip~

You just said "the war on women" without quotation marks, suggesting you actually believe such a thing is reality.

You went on to use an absurd euphemism.

Whether you did so out of in earnest out of ignorance or you're just talking in bad faith, you are projecting the same completely delusional and extreme beliefs.
