« on: September 12, 2016, 01:34:57 PM »Romney's comment was worse, but similar. They're both idiots for allowing words like that to escape their lips, considering they are vying to be president of all Americans. Here is Hillary's full quote:Actually, Hillary's comment is far, far worse than Romney's.
To refresh everyone, here is Romney's quote:
Quote
There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what … who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims. … These are people who pay no income tax. … and so my job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.
While both are in a way harshly judgmental on the surface, Romney was only commenting on the percentage unlikely to vote for him and how that played into his job as a candidate, he was saying there was a percentage of the population that he did not see a way to reach as a candidate - where Hillary is casting roughly the same percentage of the population as 'deplorable' she is calling out 1/4 of the electorate as 'deplorable' AND 'irredeemable', using some of the most awful perjoratives possible - calling them 'NOT American' and therefore not deserving of any consideration or representation. She is not dismissing them as unworthy of her campaigning, she is defining them as unworthy of any consideration or representation - dehumanizing them, and verbally attempting to disenfranchise them.
Two totally different things.
