Putting this here cause I'm tired of seeing this false meme on twitter...

[msrizzo]

I know it won't stop the haters but that time that the haters keep tweeting about when Hillary Clinton was caught shaking the hand of a white supremacist....well not so much.

Note what he says about Hillary in the last paragraph.

1. oh, I have seen that tweet. and yes

the haters will continue to put up the lies. But I agree,, story shout be here for reference.

[BooScout]

2. The Haters....

...are not ashamed to spread lies. They live to kick Hillary any way they can.

3. Bless that man!

What a story. Thanks so much for sharing it here.

4. So much fake outrage out there.

I hadn't seen this one until I read about it in this OP.

[msrizzo]

5. I've only seen this on twitter.

It started when the fake picture of Hillary with the confederate flag got debunked. I don't think anyone in the media had picked it up, just the Benghazi crowd.

11. Welcome to DU, msrizzo!

Glad you're here! The Hillary haters would give anything and do anything to exploit any material that might cast her in a bad light. Even including shit they have to make up.

17. Thanks for the welcome!

6. If someone had......

....WHITE tattooed on the right arm, and people were asked to guess about the left arm, I would venture a guess that the majority would say POWER. Just goes to show that one can make a fool of themselves basing an opinion on half the story, and jumping to conclusions. I think everyone here has had some experience with that when it comes to the juvenile demonizing of.......THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!

7. Thanks for posting it here in the HRC Group.

Such a sad story attached to it.

8. The truth will set you free.

9. Look at what he said at the very end of the article:

“Nobody really gives me a chance a day to talk, and she was willing to talk to me,” he said. “She just feels like a down-to-earth person.”

10. “Nobody really gives me a chance a day to talk, and she was willing to talk to me,” he said"

You are right. That deserved repeating.

When we stop talking is when things go bad. As abhorrent as it might be, if one wants change, they have no choice.

[calimary]

13. The only problem is - some with that mentality don't want change.

A lot of 'em want to revert back to a perfect, misty, white utopian past they THINK they remember. You know, the one they saw Beaver Cleaver and Ozzie and Harriet living, on TV every week.

[jtuck004]

15. Nobody wants change. Talk is one of the few paths that lead that way, at

least in my experience. Not always, and, frankly, not very often, but it's a much better tool than most.

12. Declaring one's obvious whiteness can be construed as racist/white supremacist?

Bull-fucking-shit.

Glad this was cleared up (I guess), but what crap.

[calimary]

14. Expect it.

Just expect it. Whatever it is that might cast aspersions on her is what will be advanced. Whether it has any basis in fact or the real world of pragmatism, or not.

[BainsBane]

16. Yes, everyone should submit to a full body scan before shaking her hand.

[hrmjustin]

18. Thank you for posting this.

19. I haven't read the thread this is a rebuttal to,

and I'm not sure I want to.

Here we have a man who was seriously ill and came out of the hospital maimed, both legs gone. Severe depression is a frequent outcome of such negatively life-changing events. This man was so depressed and had such horrible image of himself that he not only thought he was garbage, he had himself visibly labelled trash.

Look at the way he stands isolated from others in one of those pictures. He's on the outside looking in. The body language is so clear. And along comes the former First Lady, Senator and Secretary of state, and she doesn't just glad hand him, she listens to him.

A year and a half from now, he'll remember that the President of the United States treated him.like a human being, and maybe that helped him heal a little.
