Hillary Clinton compares pro-life Republicans to terrorists

 Hillary Clinton compared pro-life Republicans to terrorists earlier today, here is what she had to say:

“Now, extreme views about women, we expect that from some of the terrorist groups, we expect that from people who don’t want to live in the modern world, but it’s a little hard to take from Republicans who want to be the president of the United States,” Clinton said. “Yet they espouse out of date, out of touch policies. They are dead wrong for 21st century America. We are going forward, we are not going back.”

  Of course, like most Democrats, she couched this by basically claiming that the Republican are anti-women but this  is a blatant misrepresentation of what those of us who believe an unborn baby is a life actually stand for and I find the comment to be despicable. I am not alone:

Bush said in a Tweet that the remarks were a sign of Clinton’s misplaced priorities.

“.@HillaryClinton compares pro-life Americans to terrorists, but defends despicable PP treatment of unborn? Her priorities are totally wrong,” Bush tweeted.

“For Hillary Clinton to equate her political opponents to terrorists is a new low for her flailing campaign,” said Allison Moore, press secretary for the Republican National Committee. “She should apologize immediately for her inflammatory rhetoric.”

“Hillary Clinton just said a significant portion of Americans are the same as ‘terrorist groups’ simply because they disagree with her,” added Amelia Chassé, press secretary for America Rising PAC, an anti-Clinton opposition research group. “That is outrageous, even for a desperate politician slipping in the polls. It’s the clearest sign yet that Sec. Clinton will say or do anything to win.”

  I cannot help but think of Barack Obama and what he said after the Gabby Giffords shooting in 2011:

“At a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized,” he said, “at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who happen to think differently than we do — it’s important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we are talking with each other in a way that heals, not a way that wounds.”

  He called upon Americans not to demonize those people who feel differently than they do and to talk to others in “a way that heals” but apparently he was  only talking to the people on the right because, as you can see, the Democrats have forgotten that plea–if they ever really listened to it in the first place…
