During a contentious interview on NPR’s Fresh Air, Clinton scolded host Terry Gross for persistently asking questions about the former Secretary of State’s “evolution” on the issue of gay marriage. In Clinton’s mind, the host had been attempting to twist her words to unfairly paint a picture about her views on the issue.
Clinton publicly endorsed same-sex marriage only last year, leading many to surmise that she either withheld her true feelings on the issue all along, or had simply come around to the voting public’s increasing support for the issue. On Thursday morning, Gross attempted to understand Clinton’s change of heart, provoking a testy response.
After repeated questioning and several defensive responses, Gross told her interviewee: “I’m just trying to clarify so I can understand.”
“No, I don’t think you are trying to clarify,” Clinton fired back. “I think you’re trying to say I used to be opposed and now I’m in favor and I did it for political reasons, and that’s just flat wrong.”
Hillary Clinton Snaps at NPR Host for Questions About Gay Marriage Evolution | Mediaite
So by now you've probably seen the clips of Hillary's interview. True it is strange that instead of just saying something succinct and polite like "my views on gay marriage have evolved to embrace it", instead she snaps, accusing her interviewer of trying to corner her.
In so doing, she is less than gushing about a democratic support for gay marriage. It could be her instincts are going all Chic-Fil-A on her; or Duck Dynasty. The democrats are worried about having foolishly embraced the cult of LGBT as a platform. The recent upset of Brat over Cantor in Virginia for Cantor's not being conservative enough on topics like LGBT marriage etc. has undoubtedly snapped a few candidates and potential candidate's heads around.
There is a perceptable shift in the middle moving right. And what has done it is the alarming fascist-style inroads the gay marriage and other cult values pushing fascism into American law and democracy itself: http://www.usmessageboard.com/curre...wins-gay-legal-challenges-simple-as-that.html
I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so stupid democratic leadership! And wow can you see it all over Hillary in that interview. It is a topic causing much consternation and dismay among democrats.
Deeply embracing the cult of LGBT is as foolish politically as the right deeply embracing fracking or complete stripping of a woman's right to choose. They cost immense votes in the middle for the respective political party.
Democrats have a way out and it's called "embracing Windsor". All they would have to do is assert that if a state approves of gay marriage then so do they. They could sidestep the LGBT pressure by agreeing that democracy on behaviors is dominant to gays being married. They could pledge to help LGBT's push their agenda in various states as they put initiatives on the ballot one by one. But pushing for a federal sweep on gay marriage that usurps the majority's rights to weigh in on the topic [as outlined and prescribed in Windsor] is going to KILL democratic hopefuls in the next two election cycles. In short, the enormous bloc of middle voters doesn't like being dictated to. And that goes for things like right to choose and fracking too.
