Hillary: Cheney Is Not 'A Particularly Reliable Source' (Video)
Tennessee Guerilla Women —
I love it when the GOP men attempt to grill Hillary. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was testifying on Capitol Hill this morning when she was asked about former Vice President Dick Cheney's request to declassify documents showing the "success" of harsh interrogation torture techniques approved by President George W. Bush after the 9/11 terror. "It won't surprise you that I don't consider him [Cheney] a particularly reliable source," she said. Pressed by California Republican Dana Rohrabacher about whether she would advise President Obama to release the ...
Hillary To Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN): "President Obama Won The Election"
TPM Election Central —
During today's hearing before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Hillary Clinton made something clear to a very critical Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN): President Obama won the 2008 election.
Pence gave a lengthy question in which he criticized Obama for being seen shaking hands with Hugo Chávez, and asked Hillary about the negative effects of this event. In her response, Hillary explained that Obama is taking a different approach than what has been tried in the recent past and didn't work -- and that Obama is the president:
"We want your constructive criticism, we want your feedback," said Clinton. "But President ...

CLINTON 1, PENCE 0.... Secretary of State Hillary Clinton raised a few eyebrows and generated a few laughs this morning during an appearance before the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Among other things, Clinton explained to Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) that she doesn't consider Dick Cheney a " particularly reliable source ...
Clinton Pwns Pence
Shakesville —
Shaker Hillevi just sent me the link to this TPM video of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pwning the fuck out of the Dumbest Congressperson on the Planet, Republican Mike Pence of (sob) Indiana. Says Hillevi: Let me briefly paraphrase: Rep. Mike Pence: I am an isolationist dunderhead. Hillary Clinton: I have lived a long time…there are lots of approaches…I will hear your concerns, but ignore them, because your guy's approach didn't work and Obama won the election.Which is a pretty accurate paraphrase except for the fact that Hillevi was polite enough to leave off the "…you ignorant shithead." I transcribed the video; ...
Mad Props to Hillary Clinton for Cleaning Rep. Pence's Clock
Library Grape —
Anyone who knows me is aware of my deep and abiding suspicion of Hillary Clinton as a result of her campaign's tactics while she was seeking Presidency back in 2008. Over the past few weeks, my suspicion has been gradually thawing as she's proven herself to be an excellent Secretary of State and an apparent believer in the "No Drama Obama" philosophy. The amazing smackdown she delivered in the below video in response to a question from rabid wingnut Indiana Representative Mike Pence just helped thaw my suspicion even more: ...

I watched some of Secretary of State Clinton's testimony before a House committee today. She was good. TPM has her exchange with Mike Pence (R-IN):
Oh, Hell Yes! Madame Secretary -- You GO, Girl!!!

Herewith, a salute to Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton, US SecState, and absolutely the most apropos smackdown I've ever heard (long video, hang on to the end, the Republican Congressmember's face is p.r.i.c.e.l.e.s.s. -- and yes, this is a comment a President HRC wouldn't've had the chance to make, so ... just, damn.) ...
Clinton to Republicans: Cheney's Full of It
culturekitchen - fresh dissent served daily —
Here are two videos (h/t to Daily Kos) of Hillary Clinton taking on some Republican extremists in Congress:
I have despised right wing extremist Dana Rohrabacher since I lived in California more than a decade ago. He is a perfect example of what is wrong with the Greedy Oil Party and why they are losing so badly.
Hillary blasts whining repuke as a hypocrital pantywaist
WTF Is It Now?!? —
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton listens to rethug Rep. Mike Pence whine about Obama shaking hands with America-hating socialists, then she unloads with both barrels: "President Obama won the election. Get over it, you fucking loser. He is now our president, and we all -- except for the impotent junkie leader of your do-nothing party -- want our president to succeed, especially in such a perilous time." The Secretary of State also said that the the repugs under Bush "spent eight years trying to isolate Chavez, and what has been the result? I don't think it's been in America's interest. So we're going to try some different things." She said she ...
Yes, the Government Is Out to Get ‘Right-Wing Extremists’
Pajamas Media —
The infamous DHS memo is part of a broader campaign to silence conservative voices. [image] The Department of Homeland Security’s release of the “right-wing extremism” report should anger everyone. Janet Napolitano’s faux apology to veterans glossed over the real message of this memo: to intimidate the 60 million Americans who voted against Obama. Consider the current Department of Homeland Security’s definitions of “extremists” according to this memo: those worried about the usurpation of the Constitution, illegal immigration, and the threat of gun control legislation. Consider the way these real fears are cast: “Many right-wing extremist groups perceive recent ...
