Tone deaf?! It's not tone deaf. She's precisely picked up the tone. Perfect pitch. She's talking exactly like the people she's talking with. I'm sure it's quite jaunty and subtle and good humored for them. How do you get to tone deaf? The NY Post is tone deaf. Hillary is right on key.
Reading further, I see the argument is that she's supposed to still be constraining her remarks to fit the ongoing mourning period for Charlie Kirk. The NY Post quotes random tweets that accuse Clinton of creating a permission structure for killing white Christian men. Some unnamed person tweeted: "Two weeks after Charlie Kirk is assassinated, Hillary Clinton reminds everyone that white Christian men are dangerous and doing damage to America. These people have no intention of turning down the temperature. They know they’re encouraging what happened." And somebody else tweeted: "Hillary Clinton makes yet another case for violence against white Christian men — the constant drumbeat against huge segments of the population is dehumanizing and dangerous. Her focus on Christianity is chilling — especially given the fact that she can’t bring herself to even name the religion."
If the New York Post were really concerned about cranking up dangerous hostility, they wouldn't go looking for things like that and printing them. Hillary wasn't saying anything about fomenting violence, just arguing against the looking to the past as a model for going forward without the limitations of the past. Let's do it again, but without the lack of diversity. It won't work.

Why can't Hillary Clinton just go away and leave us alone?
She's rich. Why doesn't she just move to a tropical island and drink her wine? She can do her own Norma Desmond impression and be serviced by a younger man. "I am big. It's Dem politics that got small and tribal."
I agree with your (Ann’s) assessment and would add that I somewhat agree with Hillary here. We aren’t going back to 1955. That said, there is something deeply troubling about Hillary Clinton’s worldview and that something is the person expressing it. This woman is filled with anger, bitterness, and (sorry to use the word) hate.
Is this the same demon who claimed she was going to be a Methodist minister?
I think she was stumbling. MSNBC - ran out of crazed leftists they can interview over and over- went fishing for Hillary. Why bother?
I was reading a book about Nixon in the early 90s. "Nixon in winter" or something. And he was discussing Hillary with some other old-timey Republicans and they were marveling at what a steely-eyed leftist she was. Dangerous but super-competent. A crackpot but ambitious.
What they didnt notice is what a liar she is. She approved the whole "Steele Dossier" attack on Trump, and has spent the last 10 years smearing everyone she doesn't like as a "Putin asset" or a "White supremist"
Thank God Trump came along and saved us from President Hilllary.
The Diversity (e.g. racism, sexism, ageism, classicism) past, present, and progressive, or diversity of individuals, minority of one? Is it possible to overcome DEIst beliefs and habits? #HateLovesAbortion
What is it exactly that she would prefer to aim for? What version of the past can she describe that was without 'limitations'? Dirty Harry would beg to differ.
Hillary's not a Christian. Her aides have usually been Muslim, atheist, or Jewish. Her daughter is married to a Jew and her Grandkids are being raised as Jews. And she's always hated the white middle class. Other than carrying around a big fake bible and having a fake "open marriage" with Billy Bob, its impossible to find anything Christian about her.
No wonder she's talking about how horrible White Christians are.
Shorter version of Hillary's comments: "Me! Me! Look at me! I'm still relevant! I'm edgy and controversial!"
To be fair, it's really our fault. We ignore her when she says something sane or reasonable. We ignore anything she does because nothing she does is relevant. We only pay attention when she says something like this, so she says stuff like this.
I don't understand what she's saying about 1955. The world was fine. In two years I'd be starting flying lessons.
A lot of people blame their difficulties in life on others. Hillary is just helping them figure out whom exactly to place blame.
She’s not promoting violence, just illuminating the right target for those prone to acting out their hatred.
And whole comment is nonsense. No matter how many zillions of immgrants pour into the USA. No matter how many affirmative action and DEI candiates are promoted over white males, there's always some bogey-man wanting to turn back the clock to 1955.
Its like blacks and crime. Can't talk about this black on white crime that happened this year or last year. Nope, lets talk about Emmitt Till from 1950.
What is it about White Leftists never ending bitch moan fest about "whites"
Shorter Althouse — she and Hillary want us to go back to living in grass huts.
Echos of dep
honestly she should find another broom we've had to deal with them, for 33 years, as they said of Cromwell
She's still around and talking conspicuously because the Democrats don't have anyone newer to lead them.
but she protected hamas, back when she was secretary of state in 2012,
Echos of deplorables.
Disagree Ann. Hillary was attacking White Christin Men. Period.
"white men of a certain persuasion, a certain religion"
At first, I thought she was talking about Jews. She wasn't was she?
she can't grift from oligarchs and princes anymore,

This is so disingenuous and borders on outright lying.
Her next words were invariably racist and fascist and nazi somewhere along the line.
"white men of a certain persuasion, a certain religion"
Probably talking about Muzzies.
A few years ago I told everyone replace "white" and "male" with "Jew" in most democrat speeches and they would make a lot more sense.
Why the albinophobia? Tear down the Rainbow, Mrs. Clinton. The people she's referring to are People of Peach and of the male sex. Transgenders inclusive?
Democrazis
I noted Hillary's appearance. She wore heavy eye make-up that, instead of making her look hip and cool - I think it made her look evil. Trying hard to fit in with the *wink* -I'm one of you - oh *wink* glorious assassination cult club on the radical left. * wink*
The same club(D) who lie and lie and proclaim - without evidence - that conservatives are out to kill other conservatives.
The White left need to feel like they are part of the White Power Antifa-thug power structure.
Before: white males of a certain religion had opportunities not available to all that should be available to all.
Now: they have a problem with extending that privilege to all in favor of an entirely different social order without saying what exactly that new social order is, only that it is “unburdened by what has come before.”
“Hillary wasn't saying anything about fomenting violence, just arguing against the looking to the past as a model for going forward without the limitations of the past.”
All the hysteria, yes, hysteria about people on the left wanting to kill people on the right if they criticize the right is getting to sound insane. We hear it everyday here in these threads by certain commenters.
Just because someone you dislike says something, it doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Goes for Hillary, goes for The Donald, goes for Inga, goes for Drago.
one recalls the father of the pulse shooter, who was also an FBI informant, was in one of her rallies in 2016
Wasn’t there a church just shot up, or am I imagining it.
The corrupt evil WHITE left have created a permission structure to assassinate.
Geeez- just go to fakebook and X and bluesky to see rabid leftists screeching for more assassinations.
Just listen to democrats in power describe Trump as a Fascist... and a Hitler day in and day out.

Because she got rich and powerful by convincing American's white males are evil jerks and we have to take their money to fund programs for the poor.
If you don't want to support taking money from white men to give to (democrats)the poor then she wants to shoot you.
Statist policy always follows the curve to taking your money usually on the pretense of redistributing money from rich to poor and keeping most of it themselves.
Inga skips right on by her own lies - and actual assassinations by leftists.
I also have to wonder when did big tough talking men (or women) on the right become such snowflakes that they think every person on the left is wanting to kill to kill them? It’s sounding pathological.
the little benghazi adventure, was another clever move, that turned North Africa into a slave market, that empowered Al Queda on behalf of another client of her, the Mark Rich associate,
Concur with M Jordan. The quoted part, without context, is actually quite reasonable even though it is clearly negative to men and Christianity. You won’t solve problems by pretending either never existed. Still, Hillary has no problem wearing her bigotry out in the open, and that’s just going to push others to do the same.
Hey, isn't Hillary still "married" to a white man of a certain religion?
Anyway, so progs do mean to replace white men of a certain persuasion, but those white men may not resist? When progs speak of diversity and inclusion, that's the point, after all?
she would be just another girl from Hyde Park if not her marriage to a White man, who became Governor, who put her on the Walmart board,
“Wasn’t there a church just shot up, or am I imagining it.”
Yes, by a MAGA man.
The dehumanizing effect and consequences of Diversity, gender, and wicked solution celebrated with pride and prejudice. #HateLovesAbortion
I find it strange because we are always told to look at the hierarchy of top democrats in power - From Biden to Pelosi to the The Clintons to the Obamas - as Christians. right?
When they need to be.
But they are not. Not that I care - I do not. But one thing that is universally abhorrent - is a fake Christian. Hillary is an exemplary - fake Christian.
of course she was with another gang of entitled twits, like the legacy Brezinski, the compromised Southern twit Scarborough, the Plagiarism Barnicle et al
Do you have a link, Inga?
Suggesting that white Christian men are "doing such damage to what we should be aiming for" certainly implies that that this "damage" is a bad thing and should be stopped. In an environment where white Christians are being gunned down and burned alive and where a prominent white Christian man was assassinated for his views, a person of good faith might consider not further demonizing that particular demographic. Just saying.
Inga said...
“Wasn’t there a church just shot up, or am I imagining it.”

There is no actual evidence this man had anything to do with MAGA. He also shot a bunch of Trump voters which would make no sense at all.
Inga just reinforces that she hates her political opponents every time she posts this. She will seize on anything to justify her hate.
That way she doesn't have to admit that she is glad Kirk is dead and she wants the rest of us shot and silenced.
That is why she supported the Biden regime kicking Trump and Trump supporters off all social media. That is why she supports gun control so we can't fight back.
like Obama not pretending nearly 20 years of hate against white men, haven't found a target,
Hillary is deplorable. In a 1996 New York Times column, William Safire labeled Hillary Clinton a congenital liar for lying about several controversies at the time—Whitewater, the Travel Office firings, her cattle futures trading. Remember when Hillary went on the Today Show to blame a vast right wing conspiracy for allegations that Bill was boinking a White House intern? Those scandals were only warm up for what was to come—the Russian collusion hoax and the Steele dossier.
meanwhile one of those fellow newcomers to the UK, tried to blowup a synagogue today in Manchesters
“Anyway, so progs do mean to replace white men of a certain persuasion, but those white men may not resist?”
“You will not replace us!” Pick up the Tiki torch.
Snowflakes, white men pull up your man panties, gather your wits and realize no one wants to kill you or replace you for being white men. Calm the fuck down.
I agree that she's not "fomenting" violence, but creating a permission structure? Or adding to one? In a rather oblique way, I'll admit: just by implying that (a caricature of) the '50s in all its lily-white glory is the goal of the Trump administration and its supporters. Mind-reading, at minimum.
If you know that there's a militant wing of your side that believes, to their core, that disagreement with (or failure to acknowledge the beautiful primacy of) them is "erasure" or "genocide," then it seems to me that Job 1 is to do something about that wing - either talk them out of their delusion or, if that's not possible, cut them out of your side. On the right, we tend to do the latter (I think most of the time without trying to talk, say, an actual white supremacist out of his delusion - which may not be to our credit a la Charlie Kirk, but does bring to mind the thing about wrestling a pig in mud).
The left tends to do neither, it seems to me. And they keep talking to the whole of the public as if that wing doesn't exist and isn't affected by what they say. If you've taken steps to say, "There is [for example] such a thing as Trantifa - it's a tiny group but it does exist - and they are no part of us" then you have more rhetorical room to maneuver than if you keep shouting "Trans people are always victims of the cis-heteronormative white patriarchy!"
Or - if you're Ezra Klein and you want to see more civil discourse and believe that someone on the opposite side of you was trying to bring about such a thing, you don't have to back all the way out of the room in which you expressed that wish just because Ta-Nehisi* Coates disagrees with you. You could just go on disagreeing with him. Except that he is an Elder or Prophet or something of the secular religion to which Klein adheres and to disagree with him is apostasy.
* His name - or rather, his pronunciation of it - bugs me as much as Brett Favre's. Guys. Sound it out.
“Wasn’t there a church just shot up, or am I imagining it.”

We need to be thankful for Hillary Clinton. She was so horrid of a candidate that people took a flyer on Donald Trump.
We all have to remember that a palatable Democrat would have defeated Trump in 2016.
Does she have the presence of mind to be silent for a solitary minute, well look at the crew of twits she fits right into

Again Inga points out she thinks we are all Nazis.
Just replace "white" and "man" and "Christian" with "Jew" in all of Inga's posts and she makes more sense.
Now that the Clinton crime family has been defanged, disarmed, and largely rendered irrelevant by election losses and the passage of time, (Bill left office 24 years ago) the only niche left for HRC, Bill, and Chelsea is as outrage porn for right leaning social media. That’s not nothing but it is pretty skimpy and not especially lucrative compared to what she's been used to since 1993. Bottom line: Tough shit for her but no great loss for the rest of us.

Extrapolate.
" white men of a certain persuasion, a certain religion, a certain point of view, a certain ideology"
Yeah, the Protestant Anglosphere/NW Europe ideology was terrible. What with the Industrial Revolution replacing animal power with steam/fossil fuel power and their whacky ideas about secure private property, equality under the law, free speech. And who can forget their being the original Karens and imposing their abolition of slavery ideas on other cultures and dissenters in their own culture.
Were the "without sin"? Well, no. They were changing the hearts of men and challenging the ideas that had persisted for millennia.
Prior to 1800, most of the world in the eighteenth century would have been easily recognizable to those from the eighth century. Mistakes were made along the way but striving for the ideal persisted
"The Saxon farmer of the eighth century enjoyed most of the comforts known to Saxon farmers in the eighteenth. THe eorls and ceorls of Offa and Ecgbert could not read or write, and did not receive a weekly newspaper with such information as newspapers in that age could supply; yet neither their houses, their clothing, their food and drink, their agricultural tools and methods, their stock, nor their habits were so greatly altered or improved by time that they would have found much difficulty in accommodating their lives to that of their descendants in the eighteenth century. In this respect America was backward. "

To paraphrase Van Jones. Don’t be surprised that all those people you trashed for years don’t vote for you.
Yet it’s their fault she wasn’t elected, not hers. Classic Clinton
they have colloborated to destroy this country, with Cloward an Piven, with Soros and other parties,
Sorry, Ann. She's a dope. She's pushing the same basic crapola she believed in the 1970s. No reflection on her "creed." Thank God she never had true political power. The nation knew enough to avoid that!
thats who they corrupted the franchise with Motor Voter, they supported the Oligarchs that made the notion of democracy among average Russian people
Inga -
Give us link that provides proof that the Mormon church shooting was done because the man hated Trump.
Inag - we have your receipts. Every single assassination or murder - you jump to your feet and scream.
IT WAS MAGA!
'we don't buy your silly sith games' it's almost assured that anyone you promote is evil stupid and/or corrupt, sometimes all three
Is Hillary's rage towards white men all about Bill? Women can be irrational that way. Maybe she just hates everybody. Psychopaths can be irrational that way. Whatever it is she belongs in jail. Maybe Comey will rat her out.
"She's still around and talking conspicuously because the Democrats don't have anyone newer to lead them."
Yes. That is exactly right. And if we look at the newer models in the showroom (Omar, AOC, Mamdani, Crockett, Newsome, etc.) people on the right are going to miss the Clintons, Schumer, and even Pelosi. The new crew have ideas that are totally out of touch with the real world and inevitably will lead to national ruin and poverty.

GOOD. Hillary made President Trump possible. Leftists should be hoping for her to face a tribunal, because the alternative is having to hear her alcoholic harpy voice for the next decade.
It’d be refreshing if, instead of condemning various groups of people, people like Hillary would engage with substance on the policies. She’s such an old “Karen” type person: nagging, finger wagging, demeaning, etc. She should be ignored unless she says something useful in any debate on the policies in front of us. You’d think at this point in her life she’d like to be known as a diplomat or elder stateswoman. She’s not either of those things. She’s simply an inconsequential bore.
she know from leaked files, the Russians knew she had serious health issues, something they didn't release,
she has no substance to her policies, thats why she has to lie,
“Again Inga points out she thinks we are all Nazis.”
Liar. I’m pointing to how stupid those men looked marching with their Tiki torches chanting “You will not replace us!”
and the press mostly cover for her (remember that Planet Hillary Times cover)
White Christians are irredeemable, which is inconvenient since they also represent the largest voting bloc in America. Sadly math was not a required class at Wellesley.
we saw in 2020, how the Progs want to abolish all our history,
because how else do you eliminate the Bill of Rights, they have stood with the terrorists for a long time,
It was obvious to me that she meant the Presbylutherans.
“Inga thinks that all white men and former marines are MAGA.”
Liar. He was wearing a MAGA shirt, had all the trappings of a MAGA. There are plenty of white men who are former Marines who are not MAGA.
Inga is still trying to blame the Church shooting on MAGA politics. Which, of course, is a smear. All evidence shows that the guy was motivated by religious hatred that sounds startlingly like the same anti-Mormon bigotry I read here everyday in Utah from local leftists.
Inga has Zero evidence that this shooter even considered politics in his attack on the LDS church. She just wants to smear everyone.
Further: Why do leftists hate Christianity so much anyway? What, exactly, do they find so "bad" about it besides the obvious: that the left is demonic and just hates God?
because Christianity stands in the way of the love of the State, only when they can coopt it, like the Soviet Union or Nicaragua,
Inga's claims that MAGA is at fault for the LDS church shooting is the exact same reasoning as me blaming dog lovers for the Holocaust, because old Adolf was a dog lover. Clearly that love of dogs was what inspired Adolf to kill all the Jews.... right, Inga?
That's your logic that you are using to blame MAGA for the LDS shooting.
’I’m pointing to how stupid those men looked marching with their Tiki torches chanting “You will not replace us!”’
They’ve certainly disappeared after Trump’s election. A rational person would assume they’d be louder and prouder during the current administration, but they’re nowhere to be found. Interesting.
Hillary’s “deplorables” remarks set the stage for demonizing Trump and supporters when she was the nominal head of the Democrat Party. It is naive to suppose she is not “fomenting violence” given Kirk’s murder, Democrat disarray and TDS.
she really ups her ghoul points, how have you been Beasts
Come on, folks …
ANYTHING about HRC is irrelevant in today's world.
It's clickbait … and not very good clickbait to boot. Not goin' there.
So it’s impossible for a man who hates Trump, based on social media history, to wear a MAGA hat while doing something despicable. I am still waiting for the link, but not holding my breath.
the picture was photoshopped by Lesuo Swalwell
Let me point out that what the left appears to be most terrified of is their horror at the idea of a "Christian nationalist state! A Christian theocracy!"
Well, we actually HAD one of those within the borders of the United States for a few decades, as a matter of fact. The majority of the intermountain west was settled by the LDS church, pretty much acting as the government. From 1847 to roughly 1890 or so, you could likely characterize Utah, Idaho, parts of Wyoming, Nevada, Arizona, and even such places as San Diego as being "run" by the Democrats dreaded Christian Theocracy.
Anyone-- ANYONE rational, would look at what life was like underneath the "iron fist" of Brigham Young and compare it to life in a Democrat paradise like Detroit or Baltimore. Both are shining examples of places and people being run solely by their theology.
Which has turned out better? Utah under Brigham Young... or Detroit under Democrat total control?
I should clarify: which has turned out better for the people. Because clearly a whoooole lot of Democrat politicians and corrupt hangers on got rich off of Detroit, while their people were destroyed.
That's what Inga and the rest is afraid of: They want more Detroit, not more Utah.
Just want to add that her description of men of a certain persuasion includes the ones who created the awesome and indefatigable US Constitution. Sad that she has zero respect for them.
“Inga's claims that MAGA is at fault for the LDS church shooting…”
Liar. I said a MAGA man shot up and burned people in the church. I, UNLIKE YOU, don’t blame an entire political side for the crimes of one of them. Every person on the left is being accused of wanting to kill every rightist, that’s crazy. So would be blaming the entire MAGA movement.
Doing great, narc - hope you and yours are, as well!
The organizer of the Charlottesville protest had a pro Hillary blog and after the election wrote about his admiration for agents provocateur. But remember, only Trump does false flags like fake assassination attempts
"The idea that you could turn the clock back and try to recreate a world that never was dominated by, you know, let’s say it: white men of a certain persuasion, a certain religion, a certain point of view, a certain ideology, it’s just doing such damage to what we should be aiming for"
Now there's a dog whistling straw man! Truly deplorable!
when dems are in power, they use useful idiots like white baiting psycho colin ferguson, to push gun troll, they used that other moron with a massage fetish to push the asian hate crime but then reality intervened, same with the uvalde shooter, to push red flag laws,

’I, UNLIKE YOU, don’t blame an entire political side for the crimes of one of them.’
Except you explicitly called Achilles a murderer, re: the LDS church attack. lol
never underestimate their willingness to exact a blood price, even if arises from their own statements,
“Inga has Zero evidence that this shooter even considered politics in his attack on the LDS church.” Why would MAGA be in conflict with the LDS church? Mormons have little in common with Democrats and much in common with Trump’s conservative supporters. Igna knows nothing about zir adversaries.
There was video from Charlottesville of the “murderer”. In his car being chased by a mob with weapons, but the friend of Hillary who was governor, and who got extremely rich based on access to sweet deals like buying Global Crossing, and btw, if you own a massive undersea telecom network, you can spy on a lot of people, anyway, he locked away all of the evidence.
am I cynical, I have seem how they have demonized the gop over oklahoma city, over the tucson shooting so many examples
HRC, cleaned up:
“The idea that you could turn the clock back and try to recreate a world that never was, dominated by, you know, let’s just say it - White men of a certain persuasion, a certain religion, a certain point of view, a certain ideology - it’s just doing such damage to what we should be aiming for.”
Secondly, isn’t it those very White men who laid the foundation upon which we all rest? Where do we then place their worth? Eternally in the past? Hubris, writ exceedingly large.

The funny thing is that influencers like Hillary and Obama have turned so many conservative white males such as yourself into hysterical whining bitches. You have become what you hate: that's the real issue. Time to grow a pair and live your best life.
’In many ways, the world has never been better. I know my life and that of my family and friends is fantastic.’

“Except you explicitly called Achilles a murderer, re: the LDS church attack. lol”
Except I was using Achilles own style of blaming every single person on the left and ME PERSONALLY of killing Charlie Kirk. I was using his own words against him, really that should be understood by you, you seem intelligent enough.
all your pagan associates, who screamed for Charlie's death,
Boy, that evil bitch really wanted to be President! Tough titty.
Inga's preferred people all celebrated and cheered Kirk's assassination.
And more than a few of the same people cheered the LDS church attack too.
I do not, however, know of any MAGA people who were like "Yay go kill those Mormons!"
Unlike Inga's fellow leftists. Granted, not a whole lot of them either, but if there was celebration of the murders at the LDS church, it was from Inga's fellow leftists who hate, virulently hate, the LDS church.
I note Inga has never offered a word of apology for the left's collective hatred of the LDS church.
