#PanderingHillary at it again- "I carry hot sauce with me!"

[pinebox]

Really? Really Hillary? REALLY?
TMZ calls it a “a clear attempt to snag New York’s black vote.”

http://www.salon.com/2016/04/18/hillarys_hot_sauce_long_con_if_clinton_is_pandering_with_this_latest_food_revelation_its_the_most_impressive_suck_up_ever/

http://www.tmz.com/2016/04/18/hillary-clinton-hot-sauce-beyonce-breakfast-club/

And the memes have begun lol

[VulgarPoet]

1. Damn, $hillary,

at it again with the blatant pandering.

[pinebox]

3. There's nothing she won't do

It's pretty sad really to see a candidate so desperate and so out of touch. America sees right through her.

[CentralCoaster]

133. I would vote for a Hillary Clinton situation comedy series on Fox or the CW.

I think she would kill it as a comedy series celebrity.

Something like this:

"She never stops running but in between races, whatcha gonna do?"

"This Fall, don't miss Hillary Clinton and Kato Kaelin in "Her Turn".

Forced by financial strain to find a room mate and part time job, Hillary and Kato meet at the work release program and share a flat in Hollywood.

This dynamic duo has energy AND plenty of ideas for new businesses, but not a lot of seed money.

Watch each week as they launch their wacky ideas and find sympathetic investors who tend to wind up wishing they'd never run into the wacky pair!

[RadiationTherapy]

2. Maybe because I live in the southwest and everyone eats hot sauce here, but

I do not know the correlation between hot sauce and black communities. Is that a thing?

[pinebox]

4. Yes indeed

[vintx]

7. Yep, I'm from Texas and I'm surprised there's a connection.

Hot sauce is everywhere here.

[braddy]

13. Texan here and Army veteran, I never heard that it was a black thing, or saw it.

[passiveporcupine]

61. For a short time I lived in New Mexico

and now I'm living in a community with strong Hispanic population, and I use hot sauce, or hot garlic chili sauce (Vietnamese) on everything. I don't get the freakout here.

It does NOT mean I'm pandering to anyone. I just love the stuff. And I would carry it in my purse too, if I ate out and it wasn't available in every restaurant. But here it is available and I can't afford to eat out.

Please stop with the silly shit. This is embarrassing.

Even if she is pandering, it's not that big a deal. This is not a worth issue to discuss here. We should expect if of her now, not be surprised and upset. Let's not give the Hill camp more ammunition to hate us for.

[braddy]

85. I didn't mention Hillary, or her carrying hot sauce.

[passiveporcupine]

89. Sorry, I was addressing the OP

I didn't mean to reply to your post.

[braddy]

109. I thought that might be so, or that you were speaking in general and not at me specifically.

[tammywammy]

95. I'm in the DFW area

There are like 5 options for hot sauce in my work cafeteria and then there's 4 different salsas at the Mexican station.

[NWCorona]

22. Yes!

I actually carry a tiny bottle like you'd find in military MREs.

[Aerows]

25. I'm from New Orleans

They practically put Tabasco in your baby bottle. I was unaware that it had anything to do with race, religion or creed. You will be having some deliciousness with your red beans and rice.

[roguevalley]

80. oh god. That sounds so good. My sister-in-law is cajun. Cookery of the gods.

[Aerows]

114. I am not trying to brag on myself

(okay, I'll do it anyway) but I have some secret ingredients for my RB&R.

Nobody will ever be guessing what's for dinner on Monday if you live in the Cajun belt.

I cannot count the number of folks that have groaned because they ate too much around a pot of them.

[tammywammy]

100. Have you ever tried Ragin Cajun's Sweet & Spicy Jalapeño Relish?

That stuff is awesome. They don't sell it up here in DFW, so during our visits to family in SE Texas part of the trip is always a visit to the grocery store.

First, this relish is awesome on hotdogs. But I also like to use it in deviled eggs or potato salad for something a little different. I look a little nutty buying 4 or 5 jars at once. Heh

[Aerows]

115. I never have.

Dang, on a hot dog with some mustard, that sounds like a little bit like heaven!!!

[tammywammy]

128. Yes!!!

Seriously so good. It's in the relish/pickle aisle at the grocery store we get it at. Can also be found online some places.

[Aerows]

130. Your culinary suggestion may well be the reason

that I finally get over 110 lbs.

I need it, and that sounds like a way to get it!

[MineralMan]

35. All kinds of people use hot sauce.

It crosses all ethnic and racial boundaries. I grew up with it in a little town in California that was about 50% hispanic. Asian cuisine also makes broad use of it. Indian cuisine, too. And throughout the South, hot sauce is on every table.

Even here in Minnesota, my supermarket has half an aisle devoted just to hot sauces. Looks a lot like this:



It's a HUMAN thing. We like that stuff.

ETA: Whenever I fly to California to visit my parents, I pick up two bottles of Pico Pica sauce and bring them home in my checked baggage. It's local to Southern California, and I can't get it here. The perfect general taco sauce, I tell you.

[Beacool]

76. I like hot sauce too. I like to pick up bottles of unusual types when I travel.

At home I put Sriracha on almost everything.

[notadmblnd]

77. That's what I was thinking?

I feel certain that if I were to make some sort of blanket statement in regards to POC and hot sauce, chances are I would be told that I made a bigoted/racist comment.

But HRC says to a majority POC audience "I eat hot sauce all the time too" and it's not a bigoted comment?

[roguevalley]

79. Hot sauce is a religion in our family. No one carries it with them.

[libdem4life]

5. Sometimes I have to stand up for her...I don't carry it in my purse,

but it is known as a digestion aid which of course helps regulate the immune system.

At least we know she doesn't suffer from acid reflux, because then she'd be taking baking soda. How to get it in your purse, is another matter.

[CTyankee]

48. so if I have an auto-immune disease like Lupus, hot sauce will help it?

[MineralMan]

54. No, it won't.

Sorry. It is good for you, though. It's made of vegetables, after all.

[pinebox]

134. That would depend.....

I'm not sure this is especially good for you XD

[libdem4life]

56. No, it is not a cure that I know of. Prevention only works before

the fact, as the term implies. It speaks to symptoms and recognition of them early as to what could be full blown negative medical condition.

[CTyankee]

60. I asked because I am expecting my diagnosis from a skin biopsy taken last week...

I have been using a cream prescribed by my dermatologist and I see some improvement in my rash. It was a rough winter and I am also battling post-herpetic neuralgia.

[libdem4life]

71. Wow. That's a lot.

You can PM me, if you like.

[all american girl]

6. My son use to do that...

He loves it. Not sure if he still does.

[Else You Are Mad]

8. There is a history of the love affair between elites and hot sauce

Check this timeline history of tabasco out:


http://www.twoop.com/food/tabasco-sauce.html

It must have something to do with the reptilian illuminati and their need to eat hot sauce to live.



This is a time honored tradition that many men and women do and have done for decades.

[PeaceNikki]

9. Oh, ffs, now we have hot-sauceghazi. Jumping flaming sharks and school buses

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1107&pid=52898

[Raine1967]

17. FFS indeed. Not that it matters, but this was written in 2015:

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2015/12/21/hillary_clinton_jalape_o_and_hot_sauce_fiend.html

The silly is strong in this thread, PeaceNikki.

[PeaceNikki]

20. I am sure the illuminati are responsible.

[Else You Are Mad]

57. Wrong.

Reptiles like heat & hot sauce is hot. So this obviously the Reptilian overlords are behind this.

[Tarc]

10. ERHMAGHERD #HOTSAUCEGATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CTyankee]

62. two threads in GDP about her damned hot sauce!

[Prism]

11. When did hot sauce become an African American thing?

It's pretty popular across the board and is actually becoming a bit hipster.

I have five different sauces in my fridge.

TIL, I guess.

[Else You Are Mad]

16. I agree.

There is nothing wrong with people bringing condiments with them when they are travelling as Clinton is doing. My friend's family used to bring Ketchup with them when they traveled to Europe because they didn't like the local options.

I am a 100% Bernie supporter, but I find this a non-issue.

[JimDandy]

72. You have to like curry in your ketchup when in Europe.

Yum!

[Else You Are Mad]

73. never had curry. nt.

[JimDandy]

75. Curry ketchup is delicious on white bratwurst in hard rolls!

I can find bottles of it here in German specialty stores, but when desperate I make my own with less than stellar results.

[Prism]

137. I carry liquid splenda

I never know when a lunch is happening, so I have a bottle I can drip drip. Coffee, tea, the errant dessert. It all works.

[braddy]

88. In the Army we carried hot sauce, for years they put it in rations and perhaps still do.

I have never seen or heard of the black connection, and I'm from Texas.

[Codeine]

113. The biggest hot sauce nerds I know

are also the whitest people I know. It's hipster shit.

[Aerows]

116. Okay.

I'm fine with being white. I am fine with liking Tabasco in every flavor, and have Blair's Death sauce in the cabinet, too.

Not fine with being called a hipster.

[Codeine]

119. Fair enough!

I shall bear that in mind!

[Aerows]

139. I think we can

come to an agreement, cher.

[Prism]

136. LOL, I'm with you

We have hot sauce all over the house. But . . . it's kind of a hipster thing. A little bit.

Being really into hot sauces is very hipster. We avoid that whole thing. We just like spicy food and fluffing up chicken, because it's all I eat (cutting phase, please kill me), but it's a thing on reddit and around.

So we have hot sauces afoot. It's okay.

[Aerows]

140. I make red beans and rice

every Monday.

I detest Hillary Clinton, but I've cooked a pot of beans every week of my life.

And I'm white cajun.

[MineralMan]

12. I keep a pack of these in my glove box:

[Else You Are Mad]

18. That is awesome.

I have a bottle of each of those in my fridge, but I never tried the Buffalo one. Is it any good?

[MineralMan]

21. Yeah, it's pretty good. Could be hotter, though.

Different hot sauce for different foods. I like the original on scrambled eggs and fried clams. The green sauce will fix lame chicken tacos. The buffalo is good on just about any fried food.

I'm a guy, so I don't carry a purse. If I end up in some place that doesn't have any hot sauce, which isn't unusual in Minnesota, it's right there in my glove compartment.

I think those are the same sized bottles that are in MREs for our troops.

[Else You Are Mad]

28. I will have to try the green on Chicken. Good call. Thanks! nt

[VulgarPoet]

30. Ours are a little bigger nt

[Buns_of_Fire]

42. They are the same size. But, for what it's worth...

there's a site -- minimus.biz -- that sells all these little things that you can't usually get at the local A&P. Tabasco, Cholula, Ass Kickin', Franks. It's woman-owned, and also a great place to pick up single-serve packs of ketchup, mustard, and -- my favorite -- individual Moist Towelettes!

Can't have too many Moist Towelettes, is my motto.

[MineralMan]

44. Cool. I'll check it out.

Lately, I've been using Bufalo sauce and liking it very much:

[Buns_of_Fire]

70. Excellent choice. If you run across it locally, try their halapeno sauce.

And -- believe it or not -- Texas Pete even makes a little jazzier version of their stuff: Texas Pete Hotter Hot Sauce.

[Else You Are Mad]

51. Thanks for the heads up on the site.

I agree with the towelettes. I have a beard and it makes post meal cleanup much more important. I have probably 20 of them in my desk drawer.

[roguevalley]

83. those bottle shapes are about 100 years old when they used to use old perfume bottles for the stuff.

Class dismissed.

[tammywammy]

97. My favorite Tabasco is the smokey chipotle

While it's not really hot, it does have good flavor.

[MineralMan]

123. Chipotle is wonderful.

It's the secret to my chile. That and cumin.

[NWCorona]

24. Ever since my Army days I almost always have one of those on me

[MineralMan]

27. I believe it.

A little hot sauce can perk up just about anything, no matter how bland. And bland IS Minnesota, I've discovered.

[NWCorona]

45. My partner is from Minnesota and we vist her family often

I have to say I kinda agree with you. The Twin Cities is nice tho

[MineralMan]

47. I like it here, too, but would rather be in CA.

Still, If I have to live in a large city, the Twin Cities is a great choice.

[NWCorona]

52. Yup!

I just can't get past the bipolar nature of that state. Super nice summers and crazy snow in the winter! All the sky bridges are interesting too.

[itsrobert]

67. Yup, one of the first MREs had a very small bottle of hot sauce in it

Became a fan of hot sauce since then.

[longship]

31. Note: no Habernero!

Wimp!

Just kidding. Love ya, MM.

[Aerows]

36. It really isn't that much hotter than the original.

It's pretty tasty, but I always go back to the classics.

[Aerows]

32. Ooo!

The green *IS* great on chicken tacos.

There is not a plate of red beans and rice that is right without a big dash of the original, though.

Somebody mentioned Crystal. Absolutely not. I need heat, not salty water.

[Else You Are Mad]

37. That is two people who recommended green on chicken tacos.

I know what I am having for dinner.

[Aerows]

38. Oh, it really does

make chicken tacos something special .

[tammywammy]

96. I bought Crystals once.

What a mistake. That was just red colored water.

[tularetom]

14. When she said that, did she use her fake black accent?

Or maybe her fake New York accent?

[Yurovsky]

15. If you lie about the little things, you'll lie about the big things too...

like holding Wall Street accountable.

I don't know, maybe she'll give her Wall Street sugar daddies a paper cut and then bust that Crystal sauce out of her LV bag and pour it on their fresh wound!

And her supporters wonder why her trustworthiness numbers are so bad...😖

[Renew Deal]

19. I wish I had some

Too many places that claim their food is "spicy" under deliver.

[Buns_of_Fire]

23. Can't fault her for that. I do, too.

Frank's Red Hot, as a matter of fact. One of those teeny-tiny bottles. Just to tap in my coffee occasionally, or, like a clove of garlic, to repel the zombie Justin Wilson.

[Else You Are Mad]

34. I only use Frank's...

To make homemade buffalo sauce. For every other use, I use tabasco.

It is also a scientifically proven fact that Tabasco is much better against zombies than Frank's.

[Buns_of_Fire]

46. Really? Damn!

So THAT'S why I keep hearing this voice outside my window every night groaning "I'm gonna get your brains, I gar-roan-tee!"

I'll sprinkle some Tabasco on the windowsills tonight. Thanks for the tip!

[merrily]

29. Shame on you. My abuela doesn't pander! No divisive identity politics, either.

[IamMab]

33. Now hot sauce is "black?" Are you sure you people are progressive? Cause it doesn't look like it. nt

[bettyellen]

39. there is a post saying she would wear corn rows. WTFingF. Not progressive- it's bigoted.

Hot sauce is a southern thing, for fucks sake.

[IamMab]

40. To me, the admins allowing this stuff is their silent endorsement. And that's why it's getting worse

and not better. We shouldn't have to wait until June in order to publicly be able to be Democrats again without fear of being harassed or doxxed or worse.

[bettyellen]

41. It sucks that they are waiting to roll out the changes- and give clearer instructions on the CS.

Totally sucks, it has become a free for all. But I think the people who have been relying on personal insults to buy people here will be in for a rude awakening.

[Turin_C3PO]

63. And a Southwestern thing!

This is a non-issue,just like the Vatican thing, the emails, etc. I'll be glad when primaries are over!

[bettyellen]

65. The article is embarrassing because it assumes since Beyonce put it in a song it's a black thing

Her family is from LA and TX, fucking idiots.

[Turin_C3PO]

66. Yeah, it' stupid.

And a little racist.

[bettyellen]

68. The cornrow shit got hidden at least. I was afraid we were going to see the ugly watermelon jokes

here again any minute now. The anger at black voters is palpable.

[uponit7771]

132. No they're not, there was over alert starting on a good number of AA's this forum

[grossproffit]

43. I carry low sodium soy sauce in mine. What's the big deal?

[Beacool]

49. It's that all you people have????

Another inane post about the fact that Hillary carries hot sauce everywhere she goes. Anyone who knows Hillary can attest to it, she loves spicy food. Why so many posts about something that is common knowledge to those around her?

[Turin_C3PO]

64. I think even most

of us Bernie people think this is kinda stupid. Like I said upthread, it's a non-issue, like the Vatican thing, emails, etc. I'll sure be glad when primaries are over DU returns to (semi) normal.

[Beacool]

74. I hope so.

I've known since the 90s that Hillary likes spicy food and carries a bottle of hot sauce wherever she goes. It's really silly season on this board.

[pinebox]

87. Please. Look at your crap with the Pope. Who do you think you're fooling?

See, 2 can play this.

[Beacool]

93. My crap with the Pope???

I give zero figs about Sanders' trip to the Vatican.

[geek tragedy]

50. This is officially the dumbest thing ever posted at DU. nt

[Else You Are Mad]

55. I agree. nt.

[geek tragedy]

58. runner up: don't vote for Bernie because Alan Dershowitz doesn't like leftists nt

[Else You Are Mad]

59. Another absurd post that united Hillary and Bernie supporters! nt

[ChisolmTrailDem]

53. She puts that shit on everything...

69. Have to visit a Chili Cookoff. Part of the award is how hot you make it.

Same is true for Cayenne...lots of benefits. Cheap medicine. I put it in capsules as it's hard to get enough into food to be of significant benefit.

Ditto for garlic and onions. Few conditions that are in preventative stages (ie, improve the immune system) cannot be helped by ingredients/food in the kitchen. I've studied and benefitted from natural cures for 30 years, as a cancer survivor. My son does not get sick. Never has. He was raised on it.

So, it's worth a look-see and putting aside of the idea that only modern medicine can work, as it's what you are left with after the time for prevention has passed.

Most indigenous folk use either a hot herb, or a fermented food, such as sauerkraut or certain kinds of pickles as a regular part of their diet.

[EndElectoral]

78. Oh..god...wish if this was true, she'd keep it to herself...These pix are too surreal.

[OilemFirchen]

81. We just took a vote at the pub.

This is officially the derpest thread of the year.

Congratulatioins!

[Squinch]

82. OH MY GOD!!!!! SHE CARRIES HOT SAUCE!!!!!! KILL HER!!!!!

The assholery around here is magnificent.

[pinebox]

86. So says the guy bitching about the Pope.

Yawn.

[Squinch]

92. You're doing it wrong. The way the Sanders folks do it is to open an NEW OP every few minutes

to talk about how obsessed the Hillary people are about the Pope and won't let the subject go.

This simply won't do.

[grossproffit]

144. Amen!

[Hiraeth]

91. how about OMG She DOESN'T carry hot sauce anywhere.

and Bernie DID see the Pope.

How about that.

[Squinch]

101. Seriously, we're having this conversation? OK, if we must, how about this:

See this Conde Nast Traveler interview with her from 2012:

http://www.cntraveler.com/stories/2012-08-30/hillary-clinton-interview-visionaries


We asked Secretary Clinton’s office what she always packs:

A small mesh bag filled with the basics: Sharpies, Advil, sunscreen. Converters to charge her BlackBerry and iPad anywhere in the world. Red pepper flakes and a mini bottle of Tabasco Sauce for adding spice to her meals.

And yeah, Sanders SAW the Pope. He even shook his hand at 4 in the morning. But Sanders and the Pope give very different stories about whether a meeting took place. I believe the Pope.

But do now talk about how Hillary supporters are obsessed about the Pope visit, after YOU have brought it up.

[Hiraeth]

103. that is -SO- 2012 of you. and omg YOU brought up the Blackberry! Mic drop.

[Squinch]

104. I refer you to my post #82.

[Hiraeth]

105. I refer you to my Standard: Welcome to Ignore. So done with this petty crap.

[Squinch]

107. Buh bye

[Buns_of_Fire]

84. Okay, so let me get this straignt...

Bernie... after ambushing the Pope... forced him to pour Tabasco sauce... on the dollar bills... that were tossed at Hillary's motorcade...

OMYGAWD! THE PRESSURE... IT'S BUILDING... IT'S BUILDING!!!...

[Bluenorthwest]

90. At least it explains why she didn't want to carry two cell phone with a bag full of condiments

there's only so much a person can carry.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

94. OMG. you people are such sore losers. nt

[Hiraeth]

108. it ain't over. nothing is lost.

[zappaman]

98. LOL!!!!!

You couldn't be any funnier if you tried!
BTW, funny pathetic, not funny haha.

[JVS]

99. Back in 2008 Hillary talked about being a fan of spicy food and at the time she...

most certainly wasn't courting the black vote. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/02/12/hillarys-health-plan-hot-peppers/

[Squinch]

102. Mineral Man posted a 2012 interview where she talks about carrying hot sauce with her:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511769394

See this Conde Nast Traveler interview with her from 2012:

http://www.cntraveler.com/stories/2012-08-30/hillary-clinton-interview-visionaries

[JSup]

117. Always...

...so quick to believe something negative about Hillary without even actually researching it first.

It's why I don't believe a word they say.

[Squinch]

118. I don't even get where this is negative. It's feckin' hot sauce. They've gone completely crazy.

[JSup]

120. Because...

...she time traveled to 1992 from 2016 to start eating peppers so she could get the black vote cos only black people eat peppers, duh.

And ,for the sarcasm blind, that was indeed sarcasm.

[Squinch]

121. And ...

... they vote based on the candidates' condiment choices!

[JSup]

124. I thought it was ridiculous before...

...but yeah, pretty much what's being said is that 'voting blocs' are stupid.

[gollygee]

106. My parents carry a little bottle of hot sauce around

[dgibby]

110. I am no fan of HRC,

but I've known about her belief that spicy foods are good for you for at least a year, maybe more. Wouldn't surprise me in the least that she carries hot sauce with her.

Having said that, I voted for Bernie in the Va. primary, don't like HRC, but this is a bit much. There are lots of things to criticize her for, but this isn't one of them, IMO.

[me b zola]

111. Bag Swag was the first thing I thought of when this stupid meme rolled out

FFS the endless pandering. She doesn't feel the need to actually campaign for votes because over 90% of her campaigning is done behind closed doors (white noise may or may not be used to hide what she really feels).

[me b zola]

112. Watch out! Hillary will bust out with Nae-Nae Whip

[treestar]

122. This is a really big deal

Has a lot to do with policy of course.

[morningfog]

125. The hot sauce it is lame, but "Is it working?" Did she really

Say that?

[floriduck]

126. Must go well with her Warfarin Rx. nm

[MFM008]

127. I carry salt & pepper

and some splenda . Really, is this all you got?

[radical noodle]

129. Nonsense

She's been saying this for a long time. I heard it years ago.

[radical noodle]

131. Here's a link February 2008...

http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/02/12/hillarys-health-plan-hot-peppers/

[musicblind]

135. I have no idea if she carries it around with her, but she did have a collection of hot sauces.

Her former White House Chef said in his book that she had a pantry full of hot sauces from around the world. He said she had around 50 to 60 different hot sauces in her collection. If she is that big a fan of collecting the sauces, maybe she keeps some on her tour bus?

Here is a link to former White House Chef Walter Scheib referencing her love of hot sauces back in the day: https://munchies.vice.com/en/articles/confessions-of-a-former-white-house-chef-part-1

I try to keep A1 Sauce handy for just about everything. A lot lamer than hot sauce, I know.

[senz]

138. OMG she's jest so kewt!

Who cares what she did to the people of Iraq, Libya, and Honduras? They aren't cuute, oh nooh.

[betsuni]

141. Thank you ever so for exposing Hillary's diabolical plot originating in 1992

when she begin collecting hot sauces and eating raw jalapenos, all in order to be able to pander to spice-consuming voters in 2016. I thought it was bad when President Obama put spicy mustard on his Real American hamburger and NOW THIS.

[pinebox]

143. I wonder if she uses hot sauce while on CP time?

[betsuni]

145. Ask a Republican.

[auntpurl]

142. OMG NO NOT HOT SAUCE

What the heck am I even reading?
